Tiny Homes Used to Recruit and Retain Vail Teachers

A look at Vail School District's novel approach.

Many Arizona public school teachers will get a bump in pay this upcoming school year after the state provided enough funding for a 9 percent raise.

The Vail School District heard this from staff and is moving forward with plans to create a community of tiny homes that staff can either rent or purchase.
