If you have to house your kid's teacher, will the state let you charge your electric car so you can take them to work?

Milpitas teachers are struggling to afford housing. The school district is asking parents to take them in.
As communities across the Bay Area push to create affordable teacher housing, the Milpitas Unified School District is trying out a different approach: asking parents to take in teachers priced out by soaring Silicon Valley rents.
Last school year, the district said it lost at least seven teachers who struggled to afford the area. The average rent for a one-bedroom apartment in Milpitas is now nearly $3,000 a month, a 15% spike since last September, according to rental listing site Zumper. That works out to roughly half the annual salary for early-career teachers in the district, who earned around $68,000 last year.
Since sending out its request online last week, the district said it has received 55 responses from families looking to rent out a room in their home.
“This is evidence that our entire MUSD Team, which includes our teachers and classified support staff, is valued by our Milpitas community members, parents and caregivers,” said Superintendent Cheryl Jordan in a statement.
