My family uses google calendar but has never used gmail for day to day stuff. Maybe a problem if you send calendar invites, I guess? Obviously, can't close your account and still use their calendar, but whatcha gonna do.

Based on my small sample of schools, all of the ones that were using locality based names under ca.us have migrated elsewhere, including to 2nd level domains under .us.
