You mean the teachers at my school district that regularly spend $3m/year on diesel fuel for busing students (and the drivers wages, half the drivers are 'temps') that are sitting unused?
Are you saying you school isn't transporting students? Also, are you saying the teachers have anything to do with that cost?
My district had to double its busing budget this year due to restrictions on the number of students that could be on each bus. This led to even further cuts into the classroom budgets.
I read it that way as well. But I think the idea was that the district would normally spend $3 million on gas, and some unspecified amount on drivers. Presumably, they aren’t spending that money now, so there should be money available for masks for the teachers.
Except, they aren’t spending that much now because they aren’t bringing the kids to school. Why would the teachers need masks?
My district is bringing half the students to school each day, with a different half on different days. But they still drive the buses the same distance, and still need the same number of drivers.

So, I guess your experience may be different.
