Should Gibraltar Create Housing for New Hires?
There wasn’t much on the agenda for the Gibraltar Area School board Monday – except for one of the biggest issues the district faces in attracting and retaining new teachers.
Under the principal’s report heading, high school principal James DeBroux said 40% – 25 of the 80 respondents – are unhappy with their living situation, whether they own or rent a home, and 60% of the new hires have difficulty finding a place that “fits their needs” in terms of cost and proximity to the school.
