Re: 4. Here's the bottom line: If the school board representatives wish to stay on the board past one term, they will vote for the balanced calendar. If they are interested in making campaign money, they will vote for the traditional calendar.

-  here's the bottom line - every board member who voted for the balanced calendar and had to face the voters after the vote - lasted only one term

That's wrong. The people who were elected had a mandate of transparency and openness, not to quickly get rid of the balanced calendar. And they failed by changing the calendar that quickly- even though through their own poll, they knew it was the most unpopular decision. Nice spin, though.

But this NEXT election WILL be a referendum on the traditional vs. balanced calendar. There are three members up for re-election- two who supported the balanced calendar and one who went for the traditional calendar. We will see by the next election if the traditional calendar stands.
