Interesting situation. It's a reminder of how the best intentions can sometimes be misinterpreted. We chatted about it here, and the general feeling is that you should send an email to the entire staff acknowledging all they do for the school and explaining why the teachers were given the T-shirt. If the situation warrants it, you might also consider doing some appreciation effort in the next few weeks that includes both teachers and staff. Good luck!

It never ceases to amaze me when people get disgruntled because they didn't receive a gift. We had a similar situation and it deflated our board. Thankfully our principal supported us and basically told the supporting staff that it was rude to complain and try to demand it from the PTO. They eventually got over it.
