Sacramento City Unified to delay holiday paydays amid cash concerns

Sacramento City Unified School District has traditionally paid staff early in November and December, ahead of the holidays. This year, however, the district is moving those paydays to the end of each month after its fiscal overseer warned that the district would not have enough money on hand to issue paychecks on the scheduled dates. The shift comes as the district works to address a structural deficit of about $222 million through spending cuts and other savings. In an email to its staff on Oct. 28, the district said the Sacramento County Office of Education had directed it not to pay employees before receiving its monthly state funding payment. “As you are aware, the Sacramento County Office of Education (SCOE) is closely monitoring all our financial decisions,” the district’s communication office wrote in the email reviewed by The Sacramento Bee. “This past Friday, SCOE informed us that we would not be permitted to pay staff before receiving our monthly state apportionment which occurs near the end of the month.” As a result, the district said it would move its November and December paydays from Nov. 20 and Dec. 18 to Nov. 30 and Dec. 30. SCUSD confirmed the shift on

As deadline nears, Sac City Unified's budget could face state review

The clock is ticking on Sacramento City Unified School District’s revised budget, as its fiscal overseer, the county education office, must decide by Monday whether to approve or reject it. But the two sides have yet to bridge their differences over the budget. Now, the district is preparing to seek state help reviewing its budget if the revised budget gets rejected. The looming budget decision comes amid SCUSD’s yearlong fiscal crisis, with the district and Sacramento County Office of Education still at odds over how to address its $222 million structural deficit. By Monday, the Sacramento County Office of Education must decide whether the district’s budget revisions address its current and future financial obligations. SCOE has already signaled concerns about them, warning that the revised budget relies on uncertain revenue and solutions outside the district’s control. The district faces three possible outcomes. If SCOE approves the revised budget, the district avoids a Budget Review Committee, which would bring added scrutiny. If SCOE disapproves it, the budget goes to a BRC. The committee would have three fiscal experts selected by the district board from a list provided by the state superintendent, and it would review the budget and could recommend changes.

The Becerra era and Raman’s ‘earthquake’ in LA

TRANSITION BEGINS — In the five months between Xavier Becerra ’s come-from-behind primary victory and his general election win, he and his circle could deflect questions about his coming administration. California can only have one governor at a time, they said, and he wasn’t taking anything for granted. But now that voters have officially made him their next governor, everyone in Sacramento is racing to get some answers about what comes next: Who will Becerra hire and appoint? Which interest groups will be ascendant? What policies will he prioritize? The lobbyists, union officials and legislative leaders at his victory party offer some hints. Among the VIP’s circulating in West Sacramento were Becerra team members, including campaign hands Robbie Abelon, Kyle Layman and Lindsey Cobia — an erstwhile top Gavin Newsom deputy — and unofficial counselors like Arsenio Mataka, a former aide from Becerra’s attorney general days who focused on environmental issues. As we’ve noted elsewhere , Becerra’s sphere also includes adviser Courtni Pugh, longtime aide Liz Saldivar, veteran politico Karen Skelton, and policy adviser Nicole Elliott (another Newsom alum). Some of Sacramento’s most powerful interest groups did not endorse Becerra until it was evident he’d prevail. That made his early

Sacramento-area headlines: a CSU labor deal and deadly car crash near Galt

From labor talks at California’s largest public university system to a Halloween costume controversy and a deadly rural crash, here’s a roundup of recent Sacramento-area news. The California State University system reached a tentative agreement with the CSU Employees Union , which represents about 14,500 staff including custodians, nurses and IT specialists. The deal includes a salary step system and a $3,575 bonus in December, with members voting by Nov. 17, even as the faculty union prepares for a possible strike. The Onyx Club in Roseville said it kicked out a man wearing a Nazi armband on Halloween night after a customer complained, pushing back against social media accusations that staff had tolerated the costume. The bar said the man had concealed the armband under a jacket when he entered and was removed after an altercation with another customer. A driver was killed and a 32-year-old woman and a 2-year-old child were seriously injured in a crash Tuesday evening on Alta Mesa Road near Galt. The California Highway Patrol said the Honda Pilot driver turned left into the path of a southbound Chevrolet Silverado about 6:50 p.m.; the pickup driver suffered minor injuries. This report was produced with the assistance
