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.

Republican Hoover concedes Sacramento-area Assembly seat to Democratic challenger

Assemblymember Josh Hoover, R-Folsom, on Tuesday conceded to his Democratic challenger Amy Slavensky in the race for a Sacramento County statehouse seat. Hoover had declined to concede Friday after Slavensky declared victory for the 7th Assembly District. His concession came after Sacramento County released its latest vote totals. Slavensky had 53.2% of the vote as of Tuesday afternoon. “I just called my opponent to congratulate her on her victory,” Hoover said on X. “While there are still many ballots left to count, our team no longer sees a viable path to closing the gap like we did when we flipped this seat in 2022.” Hoover said it has been the “honor of a lifetime” to serve the area in district — which includes Folsom, Fair Oaks and Rancho Cordova — in the Assembly. The seat was one Democrats were eager to wrestle back. Slavensky will be part of what is expected to be a widening Democratic supermajority in the Legislature. She has worked 40 years in California public schools as a teacher, principal and superintendent, according to her campaign website. She said her campaign knocked on over 16,700 doors, engaged 400 volunteers and sent 150,000 texts. “I thank the hundreds

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
