Actually part of the problem is that school board elections are held at odd times of the year with almost no advertising of any sort. The most you will hear is “So and So was a Teacher and knows what our schools need” but mostly you do not even hear that. School board elections have less people voting then primaries. And since they are "nonpartisan" you do not even have party affiliation to guide you.

School board meetings are often closed so the public can not see and report.

Often those who are open to the public are monitored by police who are more then eager to help out their fellow union members by roughing up and dragging out any who fail to stand humbly with hat in hand and beg, "TAX ME HARDER!" It is for the "children". Most people on the board have no children in the schools they run. But if you do not have any children in the schools you as John Q Public will be told to shut up even if it is your tax money paying for everything.

None of this is by chance and none of this was done by the parents.
