A bill inspired by the confusion that followed the recall of two West Bonner school board trustees is being rewritten to address concerns of some of the State Affairs committee following a Feb. 21 hearing on the bill.
Rep. Mark Sauter, R-Sandpoint, began revising the bill after his original legislation, House Bill 420, was sent to General Orders to ensure the bill does not conflict with other statutes. A bill sent to that committee can be amended on the floor if later brought up for action, or can languish there if it isn't passed into law if the Legislature adjourns before then.
Former West Bonner County School District leader Branden Durst has filed a notice with the state that he intends to sue two education agencies for $1.25 million.
In a tort claim filed with the Secretary of State’s office Wednesday, Durst alleged that the State Board of Education’s decision to deny him an emergency certificate to serve as West Bonner superintendent “resulted in his loss of employment.”
