There seems to be a semi-related issue here as well, reading this article it seems that a culture of sexism at these meetings is also at play:

“The teacher’s union and the ACLU are investigating and two board members are complaining that the board treats women unfairly.”
"Women have several times been told to leave meetings, while men who speak out have not been removed, board member Laura LeBeouf told The Associated Press in a telephone interview Tuesday.
“When she realized she had to get out, she picked up her purse and walked out,” LeBeouf said. “Women in this parish are not getting the same treatment.”
The board’s other woman member expressed similar sentiments.
“No reason for anyone to be treated this way. So far in 3 years, only women have been removed from board room meetings,” Sara Duplechain wrote in an emailed response to AP’s questions."
