"bio": "Pat Yollin has written about lots of stuff, including organ transplants, wayward penguins at the San Francisco Zoo, the comeback of the cream puff, New York on the fifth anniversary of 9/11, a Slow Food gathering in Italy, and the microcredit movement in Northern California. Among her favorite stories: an interview with George Lucas at Skywalker Ranch that broke the story about his plan to build a cultural museum, and a pirate Trader Joe's operation in Vancouver that prompted the grocery chain to sue -- and lose. She joined KQED in 2013 and was previously a reporter and editor at the San Francisco Chronicle, the Hearst-owned San Francisco Examiner and the Hayward Daily Review.",

Veteran teachers in Palo Alto -- a top district in the state -- can make more than $100,000 a year. She wants to connect with the community and families she teaches.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But when Hunt looked for a place in the city where she's taught for more than a decade?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I was looking at a two-bedroom house in Palo Alto for rent for $7,500 a month — 1,200 square feet. I don't even know who that would work for,\" she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In high-cost cities, teachers and their unions are increasingly making cost-of-living adjustments central to contract talks, while conceding that's not enough.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's important for teachers to live and make roots in the communities where they teach,\" Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers, tells NPR Ed. \"Yet renting or buying a home in expensive cities is financially out of reach for most educators. Salary increases alone won't do the trick.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cities and communities, meantime, are scrambling to find solutions. Scores of cities have added affordable-housing quotas to rules on new development. Some are debating building subsidized condos or apartments specifically for teachers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Palo Alto's City Council is exploring several ideas, including subsidized housing for teachers and other public servants who can't afford local rents but make too much to qualify for low-income housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco is taking several steps, including forgivable housing loans, mortgage assistance and, eventually, affordable housing specifically for teachers. In May the city will restart its \u003ca href=\"http://sfmohcd.org/teacher-next-door-program-tnd\">Teacher Next Door program\u003c/a>, which offers city teachers up to $20,000 toward the purchase of their first home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The hope is that the moves will help stem a teacher turnover crisis in the city brought about largely by the tech-driven housing boom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We have teachers that are paying rents that are 50 or 70 percent of their take-home pay,\" says union official Matthew Hardy with United Educators of San Francisco. \"That's just not tenable for keeping folks in the school district. That's creating instability in our schools.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many of these programs that cities are pressing have yet to significantly move the needle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So far, few local initiatives have been able to make a major dent in the problem,\" says Stockton Williams, a housing expert with the nonprofit \u003ca href=\"http://uli.org/\">Urban Land Institute\u003c/a>. The biggest changes cities can make, he says, are \"removing or alleviating local obstacles to more development. This means everything from more flexible zoning, more efficient entitlements and more outreach to neighborhoods that resist more development.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Silicon Valley, Tara Hunt says she knows some parents are sympathetic. But she's not sure they really get it. Many are in a different tax bracket and, at times she says it feels like they're in a different world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Steve Jobs' kids went through this school. We have some pretty high-profile parents. It's really hard to relate with them because they're very wealthy people,\" she says. And, she adds, it's hard for those people to understand what Silicon Valley teachers are facing: \"No one's being proactive.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Maybe nothing will be done, Hunt says, until more veteran teachers start to pack up and leave the communities they serve.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I have a lot of teacher friends who tell me, 'One more year, that's it.

She says people in high-cost communities need to remember that a teacher's job doesn't end at 3 in the afternoon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You want them to coach a team, you want them to teach all day, you want them to be a faculty adviser, you want them to be able to give your kid extra help before school, after school — whenever.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And that leaves teachers with a dilemma: \"We're constantly forced to make that choice: Do I stay and watch my students in the school play, or do I go home and remember what my husband looks like once in a while?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Veteran teachers in Palo Alto -- a top district in the state -- can make more than $100,000 a year. She wants to connect with the community and families she teaches.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But when Hunt looked for a place in the city where she's taught for more than a decade?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I was looking at a two-bedroom house in Palo Alto for rent for $7,500 a month — 1,200 square feet. I don't even know who that would work for,\" she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In high-cost cities, teachers and their unions are increasingly making cost-of-living adjustments central to contract talks, while conceding that's not enough.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's important for teachers to live and make roots in the communities where they teach,\" Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers, tells NPR Ed. \"Yet renting or buying a home in expensive cities is financially out of reach for most educators. Salary increases alone won't do the trick.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cities and communities, meantime, are scrambling to find solutions. Scores of cities have added affordable-housing quotas to rules on new development. Some are debating building subsidized condos or apartments specifically for teachers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Palo Alto's City Council is exploring several ideas, including subsidized housing for teachers and other public servants who can't afford local rents but make too much to qualify for low-income housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco is taking several steps, including forgivable housing loans, mortgage assistance and, eventually, affordable housing specifically for teachers. In May the city will restart its \u003ca href=\"http://sfmohcd.org/teacher-next-door-program-tnd\">Teacher Next Door program\u003c/a>, which offers city teachers up to $20,000 toward the purchase of their first home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The hope is that the moves will help stem a teacher turnover crisis in the city brought about largely by the tech-driven housing boom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We have teachers that are paying rents that are 50 or 70 percent of their take-home pay,\" says union official Matthew Hardy with United Educators of San Francisco. \"That's just not tenable for keeping folks in the school district. That's creating instability in our schools.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many of these programs that cities are pressing have yet to significantly move the needle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So far, few local initiatives have been able to make a major dent in the problem,\" says Stockton Williams, a housing expert with the nonprofit \u003ca href=\"http://uli.org/\">Urban Land Institute\u003c/a>. The biggest changes cities can make, he says, are \"removing or alleviating local obstacles to more development. This means everything from more flexible zoning, more efficient entitlements and more outreach to neighborhoods that resist more development.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Silicon Valley, Tara Hunt says she knows some parents are sympathetic. But she's not sure they really get it. Many are in a different tax bracket and, at times she says it feels like they're in a different world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Steve Jobs' kids went through this school. We have some pretty high-profile parents. It's really hard to relate with them because they're very wealthy people,\" she says. And, she adds, it's hard for those people to understand what Silicon Valley teachers are facing: \"No one's being proactive.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Maybe nothing will be done, Hunt says, until more veteran teachers start to pack up and leave the communities they serve.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The school has a $1.4 million operating budget overall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But here’s the thing: Despite this money coming in from the state, Oak Ridge still has to make cuts because several other streams of district and federal funding are drying up -- those dollars have been paying for people and programs at the heart of this campus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10901003\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-10901003\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/PrincipalRolleri-800x493.jpg\" alt=\"Oak Ridge Elementary School Principal Daniel Rolleri looks out a hallway window as he makes the rounds on campus.

The school has a $1.4 million operating budget overall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But here’s the thing: Despite this money coming in from the state, Oak Ridge still has to make cuts because several other streams of district and federal funding are drying up -- those dollars have been paying for people and programs at the heart of this campus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10901003\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-10901003\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/PrincipalRolleri-800x493.jpg\" alt=\"Oak Ridge Elementary School Principal Daniel Rolleri looks out a hallway window as he makes the rounds on campus.
