Multiple California public schools and teachers unions discussed using federal and state COVID-19 relief funding to pay for teacher bonuses.
At least two school districts in California may give teachers thousands of dollars of aid intended to safely reopen schools as bonuses, according to messages uncovered by the group Reopen California Schools and reported by the
Daily Mail. One union even said teachers could use the money for a trip to Hawaii.
