San Diego's Rosa Parks Elementary School has a story to tell that highlights the harsh realities of the ongoing teacher shortage. Carolina Sanchez Garcia, a dedicated teacher at the school, was forced to make an early morning sacrifice, waking up at 3 a.m. every day to drive to work while her children slept in the back seat. This grueling routine was a testament to the struggles many educators face in finding affordable housing near their workplaces. Now, in a bid to attract and retain teachers, school districts are exploring innovative solutions, including building homes for educators. As districts nationwide scramble to address the teacher shortage, the question remains: can housing initiatives be the game-changer that keeps educators in the classroom?
