I would be absolutely PISSED if my DH did that. He might have a point (especially if your teachers didn't get a raise) but he should have told you. I'd be reminding him that that BOE PAYS your salary and approves your contract (are you in a union??)

I understand that what he did put you in a horrible spot. I just don't understand why you did the same thing he did.

Thanks for the update, OP. I think you did the right thing to address it in a professional matter right here and now instead of worrying over it or letting it simmer with anyone who may have been offended by it.
Hugs!

Lots of people work for federal, state and local government positions paid for with tax dollars. I still think it is extremely unwise and rude to call out your spouses boss in public. No matter if you pay their salary with taxes or not. It's wrong. Part of being an adult is knowing when to keep our mouths shut. How many can sit in a meeting with them and express their concerns? Who cares if it's rude. Life is not polite. Mismanaged money is not polite. Keeping your mouth shut about what you see as wrongdoing is not being an adult. It's being a coward and disguising it as having manners. He addressed concern in a forum specifically designed to address concerns. He didn't run into her bosses at Applebee's and rip them a new one. I strongly disagree with you too. I can only believe that you have no idea about the politics of the workplace. Sometimes tempering what you say publicly is the courageous and honorable thing, especially if you value your spouse and the impact your words can have on their daily life and career. There are ways to express things without jeopardizing your spouse's job. I'm glad to hear the update and that the OP has taken things back in her own hands and addressed the matter with her chain-of-command. I'm sorry that her husband continues to be a jerk about it - I wonder if he is jealous that she is the breadwinner of the family and this is his not-too-subtle way of sabotaging it.
