Awesone that Facebook would give so much of its profit to help house a few teachers for the children of some of the thousands of additional employees and "contractors" it will be importing to the area. The generosity of Facebook knows no bounds. We are so grateful for Facebook.

Put the $25 million towards teacher salaries.
All this project does is cost taxpayer dollars for housing that doesn’t guaranty teacher retention.
Look at Menlo Park. They hold fundraisers and pay their teachers enough to live on. Simple.
Building housing is just another taxpayer scam.

@ mountain view neighbor - yes, it's a scam to use public lands and tax dollars to benefit one special interest. School districts should focus on their mission - educating our kids. Pay them more salary if need be - don't dedicate public land and assets and get into a messy operating situation. How will they kick out teachers who no longer work for the district? That's a mess. And an inefficient and costly way to spend our tax dollars.
