The action that several members of this school board took last year was a clear signal that they do not care about the majority opinion. I would also suggest those who voted to return to the current calendar did not speak to the teachers or students and only voted to return to the current calendar based on support from business such as White Water and Six Flags. When those who are "representatives" do not listen to the majority they need to be voted out of office and replaced with TRUE representatives of their constituents.

Re:"...only voted to return to the current calendar based on support from business such as White Water and Six Flags."

Balanced calendar supporters claim that WW and 6 Flags are financially better off WITH the balanced calendar. Why the heck would they lobby against it??????  (see post 322).  Sounds like you haven't thought through your argument very well.

Given that no candidate supporting the August 1 calendar has ever won ANY election in Cobb, and

given that every candidate that voted for the more traditional calendar won by majority vote, and

given that each of the 3 candidates who were elected a few months ago had traditional calendar as an election platform item (see Grand Jury findings)

It appears that the board did follow majority opinion.

Banks doesn't necessarily need to be voted out. He can quit like crooks and Abraham did after enacting the balanced calendar.
