The Jefferson Union High School District has a bold plan to boost school revenues and teacher retention: a massive development that includes apartment towers, shops and offices, and subsidized housing for educators built on surplus school property.

But one major obstacle threatens the Serramonte Del Rey plan in Daly City, and it’s not the size, density or future traffic snarls. It’s a fruit and vegetable garden. About 3,600 people have signed an online petition to curb the project and save a community garden the district has hosted for about two decades.
