Description
CSBA’s Education Workforce Housing (EWH) Deep Dive Workshop B equips members to identify their best properties for EWH and build support among public agencies and their community for this solution. This workshop is designed for school board members, superintendents and senior administrators who want to explore how EWH could work in their community.
Across two virtual sessions, participants review zoning and land use restrictions related to EWH and apply these to their properties to determine which sites might be best for workforce housing. Then they work with industry experts to understand how to build productive relationships with the public agencies that will approve their plans and how to engage the greater community in planning.
Why attend
As high housing costs continue to push educators out of communities across California and impact student achievement, EWH is increasingly seen as a strategic approach to improving recruitment, retention and long-term fiscal sustainability. EWH Deep Dive Workshop B helps you build the knowledge and skills needed to begin this work. This training provides in-depth, expert-led exploration of EWH that would otherwise cost thousands of dollars and months of staff time.
How it relates to your role
Board member, superintendent and senior administration leadership is essential for initiating and guiding an EWH initiative. From setting vision and priorities to aligning resources and partnerships, governance teams play the central role in developing long-term strategic solutions to workforce challenges.
