Many local teachers take extra measures to afford to live in the communities where they work
|
Many local educators find themselves faced with a dilemma: the cost of living in Los Gatos and Saratoga is forcing many of them to either live together, commute from other communities, or leave to find employment in more affordable areas. A Saratoga committee, the Teacher Housing Initiative, was organized in October, to help teachers at Saratoga High School and the Saratoga Union School District find affordable housing. The committee conducted a survey in late October that indicates 25 percent of the teachers at the schools are new hires for the 2000-2001 school year. Two-thirds of the 124 teachers,who returned the survey, said that housing challenges might drive them away from working in Saratoga.
