Last year there was a candidate for school board who was for teacher-led prayer in the schools- on my premise of religious freedom I had to vote against him.

Define religious freedom.
I think you're trying to say "freedom from religion". As far as school board goes, why does it matter what a board member thinks in this regard? They're not going to get their way. If they tried it, there'd be hell to pay in court costs, attorney's fees, etc.. and they'd lose.
When I subbed, we had these "moments of silence" where kids were supposed to pray or do whatever. I think that's about as far as you can go though.
