School trustees, an opportunity for tax savings? Why can't the school boards run their own show. I once voted for a guy that said he would forgo the salary and change it to a part time position.

The trustee position is a part time position actually. The school boards once held the power of taxation and I suspect that is the only way to make them relevant again. Otherwise voters really don't care one way or the other about these people (for the vast majority of voters anyway).
