Jane Lee,

We have teacher housing? This is my fourth year as a DOE teacher, and I've never heard of that - other than for hard to staff rural areas. Even then, I can't find any info on how to sign up.

There was a bill that was introduced in Hawaii relating to teacher housing in 2009, but it was not passed.

Could you please clarify what you mean when you say "we have teacher housing" ?

Furthermore, you seem to be suggesting that teachers are not local when you say teachers are provided with homes that are "better than what local families live in." 

The vast majority of the teachers at our school were born and raised on Maui, and very few of us would ever be able to afford to buy a home here.
