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

After student's father detained, Sac City Unified presses city for ICE alerts

Sacramento City Unified School District leaders said Tuesday the father of an Earl Warren Elementary student was detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement the day before, a few blocks from the school. At a news conference, board members urged Sacramento police to alert the district when verified ICE activity occurs near schools. The call came as the district pressed for better coordination after ICE agents in late October were spotted near Ethel Phillips Elementary, causing concern among students and families during after school pickup. “We can prepare for what happens on our campuses. Unfortunately, we cannot control what happens on the streets surrounding them,” school board member Jasjit Singh said Tuesday. “We need timely, credible information. We need direct radio communication between our school safety team and the police department, and we need city sanctuary policies that place students and families at the forefront and are centered around how to prepare and how to respond.” According to Singh, the district learned about the detention through the school, after the principal was informed that the student’s father had been detained. The detention took place near the 65th Street, by St. Mary Cemetery, Singh said. The detention came three days after

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

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.
