A public spat between two board members spiraled off camera.
Tensions rose at a Bethel School District board meeting last week when a proposal for a resolution supporting the LGBTQ+ community was not placed on the agenda, failing to pass in split vote among the board members. A public spat between two board members spiraled off camera, ending in complaints filed with a Pierce County Sheriff's deputy.
’ When asked how it made her feel, she said ‘threatened - violence.’"Mayers told the deputy he did indeed make the comment. However, it was not his intention to intimate, rather provide commentary on her "unacceptable behavior."Doug Boyles, Director of Communications for the Bethel School District, declined to comment specifically on the inner workings of the board's relationships.
