One parent, Blake McBride, told board members he was contacted by investigators, who informed him his child was a victim of the alleged abuse. McBride called for the resignation of district leadership.
“I’m calling for (Superintendent) Todd Lambert’s resignation and the resignation of transportation director for lack of action,” McBride said.
McBride’s comments were interrupted by Board President Angela Christensen.
“We will allow you to continue if you refrain from comments against any district personnel,” Christensen said.
