On top of that, if you took days like fall break where teachers were not working, and now asked them to work, you would need to pay them. Teachers would need to be paid for online course work in the summer or if you extended the school year into July.

Exactly my point. The entire system could have been made whole if they felt like it. Likely wouldn't have been as politically damaging for them either. Just more work and less savings for them so they just pretended this was some emergency.
