STATE PROPOSES BUILDING HOUSING FOR SCHOOL EMPLOYEES ON DISTRICT-OWNED LAND
The state of California on Tuesday introduced a new plan to bring more teachers to the state: housing built on land owned by school districts. State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond on Tuesday will propose a plan to build affordable housing for teachers and staff like custodians and food service workers on land already owned by school districts.
California school districts own about 75,000 acres of developable land that could be used for 2.3 million housing units. Thurmond said it would be up to each district to decide whether to build housing and work to pass bonds to fund the projects. The state would help with the process including possibly offering tax credits.
