On Tuesday, a school district in Daly City celebrated the opening of an affordable-housing complex specifically for teachers on the grounds of an elementary school.
With California's high cost of housing, schools across the state are having a tough time attracting and retaining teachers. What Daly City has done is being held up as a model for the rest of the state.Eastmoor Heights is the newest housing complex in San Mateo County. It's designed to prevent school employees from having to make the tough decision to leave the area.
Of course nothing happens without money. Facing a 25% employee turnover rate in 2018, district voters approved a $33 million bond measure to pay for school worker housing. It was considered an investment for the future. That investment is now starting to pay off. Board president Shakeel Ali said it's having a real impact on the district.
