The writer of the letter is wrong.
Why bother with a referendum vote at all? Think of all the money saved by going directly to a district budget meeting! There you can pack the hall with teachers, support staff,and administrators. Conduct the vote with a show of hands to intimidate any opposition and be assured that voters will never be bothersome again! It's worked every single time in the past!

Is that how Mel and Art did it when they were in charge of the school board?
