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.”
Delays with the district's forensic audit could force the state to withhold this month's support payment estimated to be $1.5 million.
Weeks overdue, West Bonner superintendent Branden Durst’s background investigation is completed, according to Tracy Rusho, the district’s human resources coordinator.
Branden Durst's first fingerprint card was never found by the district or the state.
