DOJ Working To Offset Threats At School Board Meetings

(Wisconsin Radio Network) – Members of Wisconsin school boards say the rowdy meetings they’re experiencing are scary and unacceptable.  Things got heated Monday at the meeting in the Unified School District of De Pere.  Parents in the crowd kept interrupting those who took the microphone to join the discussion.  Later, board members found out that many of the hecklers were not from the district.  Things got so bad for the school board in Oshkosh the meetings were switched to virtual.  The U-S Department of Justice says the F-B-I is going to work with federal, state, local, territorial, and tribal authorities to develop plans to offset the threats in those meetings.
