switzerland county is alone with this perk. we checked with every single school board in our tri-state viewing area--to see if this same perk is offered elsewhere. no district offers it in ohio--because it would be considered an illegal benefit. it's allowed in kentucky--but the districts we checked with don't offer it at all. none of the indiana counties we cover offer this benefit--except for a single board member in union county--who was grandfathered into a similar deal years ago--before that board banned the perk. we asked the four explain their votes. barr: "what would you like to tell taxpayers about why this board deserves..." daughtery: "i have no comment on that. barr: "you can't explain your vote to the public?" daugherty: "i don't have to explain that." barr: "the teachers in this district are paying upwards of $10,000 a year. you all are paying a buck." roberts: "well, when i get paid a salary more than $2,000, i'll probably rethink it." barr: "we'd like to talk with you about your vote tonight to insure yourself f
