A faculty bond measure on the poll this 12 months would make San Diego Unified School District a landlord — if it passes.
Along with standard bills like infrastructure and campus safety, Measure U would use among the bond cash to build housing for district workers on owned land.
The district says $200 million of the bond cash would be used to assemble “teacher and workforce” housing on the website of the district’s headquarters on Park Blvd. in University Heights.
If the measure passes, San Diego Unified would be the primary faculty district within the county that would supply workers affordable housing choices.
District-built housing for lecturers is an concept that’s gaining traction elsewhere in California. Long Beach, Los Angeles, Fresno, Sacramento, Oakland, San Francisco and San Jose have related proposals
Voice of San Diego schooling reporter Jakob McWhinney joined Midday Edition on Monday with extra on the proposal.
