Branden Durst hired an expert witness to testify in court that the West Bonner County School District owes its former superintendent $402,210.

Durst last year sued the school district, where he was superintendent for nearly four months, after the West Bonner school board terminated his contract. Durst had appeared to resign from the job when he penned a letter announcing his “decision to seek an amicable and fair exit.” The letter followed the Idaho State Board of Education’s decision to reject Durst’s request for an emergency certification to serve as superintendent, a condition of his contract with West Bonner.
