With the cost of housing remaining high in the Bay Area, the Alum Rock Union School District in East San Jose looks at building subsidized housing for teachers and staff.
This week, the school board will be voting on a proposal to re-work Measure J, which was approved by voters in 2012, to include about $50 million to build workforce housing."We want to make sure that we can offer our workforce a place that they can afford to live so they can serve our students the best way they can," said Superintendent Dr. Hilaria Bauer.
"All of the measures that have been brought to the voters have been successful. The voters have been very supportive of the work we are doing," Bauer told KPIX 5. "It actually gives me a sense of self. Having that place I can call my own and actually feel like an adult," said Robert Randall, an IT Tech Support staff member with JUHSD.
