Question For the Board

It appears the Board of Education has adopted a practice of calling the monthly board meeting to order and then going into executive session for 90 minutes or more leaving citizens waiting for their return.  This practice shows utter disdain for the citizens who would like to participated in the process.  The board, in the past,  has complained about the apparent lack of interest the community has had in board meetings.  Leaving citizens waiting 90 minutes or more, with absolutely no indication when they will return does not foster an environment where citizens will want to participate. 

Is this just a lack of sensitivity by the board, or is it  by design to discourage public participation?
