Truth about two controversial questions
- Why recall two school trustees in WBCSD who are:
• Shielding our students from social-emotional learning, the sly gateway to critical race theory, which is illegal in Idaho.
• Demanding accountability and transparency from district finances that the auditor stated "are messed up."
• Hiring a superintendent who has completed three of the five steps toward a superintendent license, while the other candidate had only one step completed.
- How is the WBCSD superintendent (Branden Durst) performing?
• In only one month, he has filled 32 staffing positions.
• Improved the high school math department by hiring two master-level math teachers.
• Hired one of our highest-scoring 6th grade teachers as the new junior high principal.
• Created one of the strongest staff at the high school, as stated by the principal.
• Hired a new curriculum director, a greatly needed new position.
• Qualified our district for federal funds by hiring a hybrid doctorate-level special education director.
• Increased our bus routes to 12.
• Combined operations and facilities, saving our district money.
• Presented, and trustees adopted, the strongest protection policy for females and (biological) female athletes in the state.
Vote against the recall Aug. 29.
