Volunteer 'guards' prompt outrage at WBCSD meeting

The controversy started before the meeting even began. Saying online threats placed the board in danger, a half-dozen or so volunteers were escorted into the superintendent's office at the behest of West Bonner County School Board Chairman Keith Rutledge. As three to four dozen people waited on the sidewalks outside the school district office, and at least another dozen lined the hallway to the board meeting room, Rutledge engaged in a mostly civil, albeit sometimes loudly contentious exchange about the volunteer guards.
