When I became Buildings and Grounds Supervisor for a local public school district, one of the first things I learned was the School Board and Administration did NOT run the school system. The local sports booster club ran it. In any given situation, what happened was what the booster club wanted to happen.
One time the Voc Ag teacher wanted to take a class on a field trip to Husker Harvest Days at Grand Island, Nebraska, some 70 miles away. He was promptly turned down on the grounds that "transportation would not be available". At the next School Board meeting, one board member, whose son would have been on the trip asked, "When was the last time we missed a sports event because transportation was not available?"

No wonder our education system is in trouble. And it ultimately falls on parents who have abdicated their responsibility see that the school system their tax dollars is supporting is doing justice to their kids.
