California State Superintendent Tony Thurmond urges schools to use district land to create affordable housing for staff members
Tony Thurmond is launching an effort to accelerate affordable housing development for teachers and school staff on land owned by school districts.With the rising cost of housing in California, many teachers can't afford to live in the school districts where they work.
One Bay Area school district which has already done this, is now being used as a model for other districts across the state. Complete with their own gym, laundry on every floor, bike storage, space for kids to play and space for meetings, Presta says 25% of staff members from the Jefferson Union High School district now live here.A one bedroom, one bathroom unit starts at $1,450.
