California State Superintendent Tony Thurmond aims to develop 2.3 million teacher housing units on surplus school district land to alleviate teacher and affordable housing shortages.
LAUSD Board Member Nick Melvoin sees converting surplus land to affordable housing for staff as utilizing public trust and assets efficiently, addressing the workforce housing needs.
Thurmond highlights educator housing as a critical solution for addressing housing, educator scarcity, and enhancing student outcomes, urging for the model's expansion across California for student success.
UC Berkeley study identifies 750,000 acres of underutilized school district land, sufficient for Thurmond's housing goal, partly attributed to declining school enrollment leading to surplus land, solved by models like LAUSD's.
