Fox News
A California teachers union claims its comment about using a proposed $2,500 stipend from COVID relief funds to cover the costs of an “airplane trip to Hawaii” when the pandemic was over for a was meant to be “playful” and not connected to the cost of teachers returning to the classroom.
In the memo, DTA told its members that the $2,500 it was bargaining for could be to cover the cost of preparing classrooms for a safe return, to pay for additional furniture or technology, or to help cover the cost of childcare. The last item on the list read of possible uses for the proposed money read: "Anything else: An airplane trip to Hawaii when this is all over?" After sparking backlash, DTA told Fox News that the suggestion of a vacation in Hawaii was "simply a playful comment on an internal communication to DTA members, not connected to the costs of members returning to on-site work."
