A San Francisco special education teacher has a daily challenge that starts hours before class begins: getting to work on time in a place she can't afford to live.
SAN FRANCISCO -- Before the break of dawn, a routine kicks off in Concord. Lisa Gaglioti grabs her lunch, stashes it into her bag packed with work, and says goodbye to her cat.
Fifteen BART stops and a packed bus ride later, she finally arrives at her destination and is finally ready to start her day. On this day, the youngest child grabbed Gaglioti's hand and they walked together up a few flights of stairs, with the young student telling her about his morning. She works with 13 special-needs children ranging from kindergartners to 5th graders. They have a wide range of challenges, and Gaglioti prepares lessons that are appropriate for each child. The atmosphere in the classroom is warm and caring.
Gaglioti works long hours and often leaves school as late as 7 p.m. to return home. She would love to live in San Francisco, but it's just not financially possible.While San Francisco officials just broke ground for an affordable housing project for teachers, Gaglioti told KPIX 5 that doesn't help her students. She recounted how their families can no longer afford to live here, either.
