EXCLUSIVE WEBINAR

Invitation-only briefing for district leaders

March 26, 2026 | 12:30-2pm PDT


Per your district’s request for information on workforce housing submitted to the California School Boards Association (CSBA), you are invited to attend this free, invitation-only briefing for California school districts exploring workforce housing solutions.

Across California, districts are reaching a critical point. Many educators can no longer afford to live in the communities they serve. As housing costs continue to rise, districts are increasingly asking a pressing question:

How can we use district land and strategic partnerships to help solve this problem?

This briefing was created specifically for school districts that asked CSBA for more information about workforce housing. In one focused session, you will learn how districts are beginning to turn underutilized land into housing that supports teacher recruitment, retention, and long-term district stability.
