California school district writes blueprint for nationwide teacher housing

EXCLUSIVE — As school districts build subsidized teacher housing to combat shortages, one Silicon Valley-area district has developed a "road map" to expand projects nationwide.

Dr. Ayinde Rudolph, superintendent of Mountain View Whisman School District, spoke with the Washington Examiner at length about "Laying the Foundation" — his blueprint for school districts to build affordable housing for teachers and school staff.

The idea is to attract and retain teachers while allowing them to save enough money to eventually buy a house in the area.

"My goal is let's help as many people as we can own a home," Rudolph said. "In my mind, this is the American dream."
