How would IFF rate Durst’s contract?

After reviewing the contract addendum provisions for Branden Durst, who recently applied for the West Bonner superintendent’s position, I had to wonder, what if an Idaho legislator proposed these in an education bill."

Among the provisions in Durst’s contract were:

• Housing allowance

• Free meals at schools

• District provided legal counsel for his spouse

• Use of a district-provided vehicle

• Term life insurance policy

• Moving cost reimbursement

While I understand the importance of incentives to attract the “best and the brightest” I wonder, how would the Idaho Freedom Foundation rate a bill with these provisions?
