Anti-mask protesters charged in school board meeting uproar
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Several anti-mask protesters who disrupted a school district board meeting in Utah earlier this year are now facing criminal charges.
The 11 protesters were charged with disorderly conduct and disrupting a public meeting late last week.
A Granite School District spokesperson says police are still searching for another person who was accused of being involved.
About 30 to 40 protesters disrupted the May 4 meeting amid news that Utah public schools would require masks through the end of the school year.
After board members abruptly ended the meeting, the parents remained on the district’s campus and police were called.
