Very simply, they should say: “This meeting of the board of COMPANY is called to order at TIME AND DATE and a quorum IS/ISN'T present.” This is also the time to add in any small items like apologies, welcoming visitors, special guests or new members. For example, wishing luck to retiring directors.

Private entities—schools and other types of privately held corporations—are required to abide by Federal, state, and local laws and their own corporate documents. If those laws and documents require opening Board meetings to parents, then yes, they must; otherwise, no.
School board meetings must be held in a place that is accessible to constituents, must be open to the public, and notice of meetings must be posted in advance so that the public knows when and where they will be and what the intended agenda is.
