Sacramento mayor promises school ICE notification policy, but district seeks more

Sacramento Mayor Kevin McCarty pledged to alert school districts when the city learns of nearby federal immigration enforcement activity, reversing his earlier position after mounting pressure from school officials . He called it a “top priority” amid a recent increase in immigration enforcement in the capital region. McCarty said the city would convene a meeting with six capital superintendents to develop a more formal communication process — but Sacramento City Unified leaders said they wanted more immediate action. McCarty told Sacramento City Unified School District Superintendent Cancy McArn in an email Tuesday afternoon that city officials would arrange a meeting with her and five other superintendents whose districts include schools within city limits to discuss “enhanced communication” about nearby U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement activity. But leaders of Sacramento City Unified, which serves most of the city’s students, want additional commitments from the mayor and City Manager Maraskeshia Smith. SCUSD serves most students in Sacramento, but the Natomas, Robla, San Juan, Elk Grove and Twin Rivers school districts also operate schools within city limits. Federal immigration enforcement activity has increased in south Sacramento in recent weeks. After reports that ICE agents detained the father of an Earl Warren Elementary School

Incumbent Doris Matsui (D) defeated Mai Vang (D) in the general election for California's 7th Congressional District

Incumbent Doris Matsui (D) defeated Mai Vang (D) in the general election for California's 7th Congressional District on November 3, 2026. CalMatters' Maya C. Miller said Matsui "touts her experience securing federal funding for local projects and her ability to work across party lines ... Her massive fundraising advantage has enabled her to flood the airwaves and voters’ mailboxes with millions of dollars in traditional television ads and mailers," while Vang "wants to prove that money and seniority aren’t enough anymore to win a seat in Congress. She has relied on door-to-door canvassing, in-person events and an active social media presence to introduce herself to voters." The Sacramento Bee's Matthew Miranda said Matsui "has routinely highlighted her experience and pointed to her record of delivering federal resources to the Sacramento region," and Vang "has centered her campaign on generational change, progressive policies and a focus on working-class families."

Commentary: Protecting California’s water from invasive golden mussels requires a unified state and federal response

California’s water systems are facing an existential threat, and in the communities we represent, we’ve seen firsthand just how serious it has become. Since they were first detected in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta near the Port of Stockton in 2024, golden mussels have spread rapidly across California’s State Water Project, creating a growing challenge for water managers across the state. These small mussels reproduce quickly, attach to critical infrastructure, and clog the pipes, pumps, and equipment responsible for delivering water to homes, farms, and businesses.

County office of education rejects Sacramento City Unified's revised budget

Sacramento City Unified’s fiscal overseer has disapproved the district’s revised budget, citing a “significant” projected negative year-end fund balance and the district’s failure to provide enough information to assess its cash flow and ability to meet financial obligations. The decision, made Friday, came weeks after the Sacramento County Office of Education disapproved the district’s original budget adopted in June and less than a day after the district signaled it would pursue a state budget review committee to review its revised budget. The disapproval could trigger a budget review by a three-member committee selected by the SCUSD board from a state-provided list, unless the district receives a waiver. The committee, if formed, will recommend whether the budget should be approved or disapproved. In a letter to SCUSD Superintendent Cancy McArn, SCOE Superintendent Jacqueline White cited several concerns, including the district’s projected negative unrestricted balance of $166.3 million by year’s end, uncertainty over which budget solutions were reflected and missing financial projections. “This lack of clarity on what solutions are included or not included in the revised budget documents makes it difficult to accurately measure the insolvency risk and timing,” White wrote in the letter reviewed by The Sacramento Bee.
