<<So the school board folks shifted the cycle by installed some one-time-only three-year terms (members elected in 1998 incumbents served three years that were up in 2001, now the 1999 class is getting theirs in 2002).>>
We've got some confusion here... Part of it is a confusion between election and service years. .......So, Sharon Henry-Blythe, Ross Taylor and I were 2001-elected but began service in 2002, as noted on the web site. We serve three-year terms. Part of it is factual .......those folks previously elected to our seats, elected in 1997 (service Jan. 1998-Jan. 2002), served full four-year terms. ........The first three-year cycle applied to the Farmer-Gallmon-Johnson-Shreves cohort, elected in 1999 and serving Jan. 2000-Jan. 2003. Ours is the second and last three-year term. ......Terrell Brown is correct. The term-end notation on the web site is mistaken, unless those creating it know something I do not...It indicates that Sharon and I serve through 2004 and Ross through 2005. As I understand it, all our terms end effectively with the last meeting of 2004 but officially with the first board meeting of 2005. Elections scheduled: Nov. 2002, Nov. 2004. Clear?
