There's a much more practical explanation.
Until very recently for most people and GOP\conservative politicians the school board election was of very little interest. If the school board election is outside the normal election cycle few bother to show up to vote. If its part of the normal election cycle people are to anxious to get out of the poll and go home to take it seriously. Two other contributing reasons. If your children have grown and are outside the K12 system you no longer care, if you don't have children you also don't care. There is also the matter that until recently teachers were trusted and the phrase ;“It's for the children" was magical!!! - particularly for suburban women. Another factor, school board elections are usually officially “nonpartisan” and people until recently believed that! Now people have discovered that the hard core left has captured the school boards. What can be done?

1. Challenge the existing boards at meetings publicly. Be careful to not get arrested,

2. Vote out every existing board member first chance you get.

3. If porn is discovered in the school library or as part of the curriculum take it to the police, file a complaint and demand action. Swear out a complaint of porn distribution to minors charging everyone who signed off on the purchase order. I few librarians & principals marched off to jail and this will stop! DO NOT TAKE IT TO THE SCHOOL Authorities!

4. In school board election not only vote out incumbents, but vote against any candidate who is endorsed by the educrat establishment i.e., NEA or state EA endorsement.
Vote against any with education degrees or past teaching experience.

6. Item 4 also applies to state legislators who run as “for the Children” supporters.

6. Run for the board & de-unionized the school!

Until recently School boards were like bond elections very boring ! Always vote no on EVERY bond elections including school bonds! Think TEA - Taxed Enough Already!

7. In many states the school superintendents are among the highest paid officials in the state. Why? Certainly not due to performance, with scores & standards crashing They ALL over the country oversee spending more to produce less! They're just another state or county bureaucrat overseeing tax money & policy, There is nothing in their skill sets that demand such special pay scales. They should paid in line with any other state or county bureaucrat!

Re: “6. Run for the board & de-unionized the school! “

Also.....Work to have vouchers, charter schools, and complete separation of **sports** and school.

Many families support the government indoctrination camps because the schools have a monopoly on sports, band, orchestra, theater, and other activities.
