1. Getting on the board wouldn’t be possible.

2. Of course any decent parent does that— that just abdicates any responsibility on the school.

3. Why should you be forced to spend money?

4. Moving is often not an option or comes with penalties.

These are all options every parent faces if the schools are not teaching what they feel their kids need to learn.

Sure. And that doesn’t change when you change the scale from state to local. however, you ensure that many, many school districts will be teaching creationism and completely failing to prepare students for jobs and for life.

When it has to reach at least state level, the issue is a lot more public, and has the participation of a lot more of the wider community. I do not think, and have no clue why you think, that individual communities know best what their children need to learn. Or why parents do, for that matter.
