This past Tuesday, SDEA members joined the Education Justice Coalition at a press conference at the old Central Elementary site—offered to the City of San Diego as a safe parking site under an agreement between SDEA and the District, which included broader housing supports for educators and students. However, the site was never opened, prompting educators, District leadership, and community partners to call on the mayor to follow through. With over 8,000 San Diego Unified students experiencing homelessness or housing insecurity and limited shelter beds available, establishing a safe parking lot for families living in their cars is the bare minimum.
