In a special meeting held by the Murray City Council, members addressed a recent controversy involving Natalie Klein, a member of the Utah State Board of Education, who has been accused of cyberbullying a minor through a social media post. The meeting began with citizen comments, where residents expressed gratitude for the council's prompt action regarding the issue.

David Rogers, a resident of District 1, thanked the council for their support of educators and students. Another resident, Scott Klepler, submitted a written statement condemning Klein's actions and urging the council to adopt a resolution supporting the Granite School District's position against her behavior.

Council member Adam Haack read a resolution that condemned Klein's actions and expressed solidarity with the Granite School District Board of Education.
