The Idaho State Board of Education has yet to receive an application from Branden Durst or from West Bonner County School District for an emergency provisional certification to serve as the district's superintendent.
Durst did not respond to a phone call or email seeking comment on the status of his application, including when it had been submitted.
The triumvirate of Keith Rutledge, Troy Reinbold, and Susan Brown has secured the majority vote of the West Bonner County School District board of trustees in order to turn the school district around and bring it to prosperity, all so the students can have the best education possible, correct? Unfortunately, this just isn’t true. Nothing that the triumvirate headed by chair Rutledge has done remotely augers toward the success of the district, or its students.
West Bonner school board chair Keith Rutledge’s suggestion that teachers don’t deserve a raise sparked a local campaign to boost morale for the 82 teachers who will return to the classroom next month.
“Every teacher I have ever had has told, taught, or showed me something that I have carried outside of school whether it be educational and life lessons,” a former student said.
