New West Bonner County School District Superintendent Branden Durst said the delay in submitting his application for provisional certification to lead the school district stems from one thing: he's following Idaho law.
"At this time, my application has not been submitted because board minutes have not yet been approved reflecting the board's approval of the emergency declaration," Durst told the Daily Bee in an email.
However, Idaho State Department of Education officials said they just need the date the declaration of emergency was approved and the date of Durst's hire.
