Sac City Unified rejects all of state's budget review candidates, asks for more names
The Sacramento City Unified School District board Thursday rejected all nine candidates on the state’s list for a Budget Review Committee and asked the state superintendent for more names, saying they didn’t believe the candidates could provide the independent review they sought. The unanimous vote came days after the district’s fiscal overseer, the Sacramento County Office of Education, rejected its revised budget , sending SCUSD into a state review process. “Given that the county, in concert with FCMAT, has not been supportive of the budget, we want an independent set of eyes to look at it and offer recommendations that we’d be willing to look at as well,” Taylor Kayatta, a board member of the district, said. “In that vein, the committee unfortunately believes that all nine names on the list aren’t able to provide us with that independent view.” The district officials are grappling with a fiscal crisis marked by a $222 million structural deficit while clashing with the county education office and the Fiscal Crisis and Management Assistance Team, the state-funded financial group that provides fiscal oversight to school districts and evaluates their financial health. The state-provided list included six candidates with ties to FCMAT — current chief

E-bikes, e-scooters will be banned in one-tenth of Folsom parks. Here's when
E-bikes and other electric alternative modes of transportation will soon not be allowed in one-tenth of Folsom’s parks. And certain “reckless” behaviors, such as performing wheelies, will face an up-to $500 fine. The Folsom City Council approved an ordinance Tuesday that establishes new rules for “e-conveyances,” a broad category that included e-bikes, e-scooters, motorized bicycles, electric motorcycles — also called e-motos — and other electrically powered devices. This was the second reading of the ordinance, which has not changed since it was officially proposed in October . Thirty days following the council’s approval, riders will not be able to carry passengers on devices without a proper seat, swerve around traffic or perform “stunt and trick riding” such as wheelies or “acrobatic” tricks. The devices will also be banned from playgrounds and sports courts and fields, but would still be allowed on paved paths in parks under a reduced speed limit of 10 mph. Folsom has more than 50 miles of Class I paved trails — multiuse, off-street paths — some of which are within parks. Bike paths not in parks will have a speed limit of 15 mph. Motorized bicycles, which fall under the same definition as “moped” in the
