I haven't attended all the school board meetings, but on the occasions that I have attended I am usually the only representative of the general public. It is rare that anyone not directly linked to the school district is in attendance.

If there seems to be no public input, that is because the public couldn't be bothered to attend, they just want to complain after the fact.
