"Walker Should Bring Criminal Charges Against Teachers"

Walker could do several things. He could, (if he has their photos at the rally), fire them for openly and recklessly abusing school policy, LYING to the school authorities, setting a very bad example for the students, and abusing the public trust who pay the teachers' salaries. -- Or he could demand they get a doctor's note declaring they were examined that day, or the day before, and their 'sickness' needs to be clearly described by the physician. -- Stand strong Mr. Walker, stand strong.

First, he could do nothing in a blanket fashion. Second, he would have to ascertain the reason given for each teacher's absence for all the teachers absent on the day in question. If a teacher took a personal day or an unpaid day of leave, there is nothing that could be done against that teacher. The investigation into each of the absent teachers would take thousands of hours of investigation and report writing time. This would cost tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars. The governor would then be hit with accusations of being the wastrel of public funds he is criticizing.
