Wisconsin Teacher Shows Up To Work Drunk And Passes Out On Field Trip, Somehow Wins Money In A Lawsuit

#1

While some teachers are busy telling students to lick them where they fart, other teachers are getting drunk on field trips just like the British teacher that was fired for being drunk on a school trip and eating chips from between her boobs. But while that teacher was fired, the one below was a hell of a lot more lucky.

Considering how criminally underpaid teachers are in this country, it's fairly common to hear about teachers striking for better working conditions only to have their requests overlooked. So there's something both mildly terrifying and refreshing about the teacher who won a $75K settlement after reportedly showing up to a field trip drunk and losing her job as a result.

Back in June 2013, Caya showed up to an elementary school field trip at a bowling alley in Janesville, Wisconsin, according to the Washington Post. Shortly after she arrived, the other teachers realized that Caya was hammered. Even after showing up drunkshe had reportedly been drinking since early that morningshe tried to order more drinks from the bowling alley bar before disappearing. Eventually, she was found passed out in the bathroom. After another staff member took her to the hospital, doctors found that Caya had a blood alcohol level of 0.27, which is more than three times the legal limit.

In a more predictable case, the story would end here: with the teacher discovered drunk in the bowling alley bathroom quickly delivered to the hospital, where her lush status is confirmed and she's swiftly fired. But not for this teacher; she was determined to get her money.

After her blood alcohol level was shared with the school, Caya resigned from working for the school district and was given $18,000, because actually firing her would have resulted in legal fees exceeding $18,000, according to district officials.

Clearly not satisfied with her payout, Caya filed a $5.5 million lawsuit against the city last year, claiming that police breached confidentiality when they publicly released her blood alcohol test results. On Monday night, the Janesville City Council voted 5-1 in favor of awarding the teacher her $75k settlement, according to a report from WKOW. Apparently the city attorney, Wald Klimczyk, sent a memo to the council advising them to pay her a settlement in order to avoid the cost of defense.

It looks like Caya will now be flush with cash to get drunk in all the bowling alleys her heart desires.
