I would be interested to know why, if you don’t mind sharing.

  Not the parent but I raised 5 and spent lots of time with their educators. A school board meeting comes with limitations on what can be communicated. It often isn't a good fit to introduce new factors because there is no time learn and evaluate them properly. School boards are commonly composed of non-technical people. They will be limited in their ability to judge the risks that are presented. Besides time, they'll need to have access to (and trust) qualified people of good judgment. It's a lot of prequalifiers. And all of the above aside, school board positions have recently become appealing to agenda-driven bad actors. If they happen to be on your board, whatever you present will be viewed thru the lens of their agenda. Good outcomes tend to starve in that environment.

  I know the school board members and local reporters. It’s a small town. Everybody knows everybody. School board meetings are already filled with too many folks putting on partisan displays. I think the message would be combined with other messages, and would not make anything better.

    That was why I said “before it starts”. I wouldn’t put it on the public agenda for that reason, at least until you had discussed it with the members privately first. Edit: but in a small town I could see why you would be extra-cautious.
