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.

Death row clemency, Matsui-Vang congressional race: What Sacramento talked about Nov. 2-8

Sacramento readers had plenty on their minds last week. From Nov. 2-8, these are the stories on sacbee.com that drew the most comments — a snapshot of what the community had to say about election night, a historic clemency decision and the future of the 7th Congressional District. Newsom moves to spare all 548 on California’s death row Gov. Gavin Newsom notified the California Supreme Court he intends to commute the sentences of the 548 people on California’s death row to life without parole — what advocates describe as the largest single act of clemency in U.S. history. “I take this action because I firmly believe that state-sanctioned killing is incompatible with California’s values, undermines the foundations of our legal system, and diminishes each of us,” Newsom wrote in a letter first reported by The Sacramento Bee . »» Read the story, see the comments Prosecutors and victims’ families split sharply The move drew polarized reactions. Former Sacramento DA Anne Marie Schubert said she plans to sue to block it. Former Los Angeles DA Gil Garcetti, who once pursued capital punishment, now backs Newsom: “There is nothing to show that the death penalty is a deterrent.” Sandy Friend, mother of

Democrat declares win, Republican doesn't concede in Sacramento-area Assembly race

Democrat Amy Slavensky declared victory Friday evening in the competition for a Sacramento County Assembly seat over Republican incumbent Josh Hoover. Her lead grew to 53.1% of the vote for the 7th Assembly District after the county released updated results earlier in the day. They are separated by more than 7,000 ballots. “I’m ready to go to work for the people, no matter who they are, where they come from, or who they voted for, because that’s how I serve and that’s the job,” she said in a statement. But Hoover said he was not ready to concede. “I just think it’s way too early,” he said. “We want to let the elections officials do their job.” The district includes Citrus Heights, Folsom and Rancho Cordova and has 14,000 more Democrats than Republicans. Yet Hoover has held the seat since he upset a Democratic incumbent in 2022. The contest is one of several Democrats are hoping to flip so they can expand their supermajority in the Legislature. The seat overlaps with parts of the 6th Senate District, where Republican incumbent Roger Niello, R-Fair Oaks, is only leading by a slim margin .
