Ride the red, white and blue as West Sacramento's River Fox honors nation's birth

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

Updated Sacramento County election results: Cofer widens lead over Guerra

Flojaune “Flo” Cofer increased her lead over Sacramento City Councilmember Eric Guerra on Friday in a closely watched race for the Sacramento County Board of Supervisors, as election officials resumed counting hundreds of thousands of ballots from Tuesday’s midterm election. Cofer had received 54.5% of the vote compared with Guerra’s 45.5%, according to updated unofficial results released Friday afternoon by the Sacramento County elections office. The race to succeed longtime Supervisor Phil Serna in the 1st District remained too early to call as election officials continued processing mail-in and provisional ballots. “’Having an almost 10 percentage point lead after just the first week, we’re definitely excited about the possibility of winning,” Cofer campaign spokesperson J.T. Ghim said. He went on to say that it’s important that more votes be counted before declaring a winner. Guerra said in a statement that he would “like to be in a different spot” but that he’s “going to let the process play out.” The California Secretary of State’s Office estimated Friday that Sacramento County had 329,699 ballots remaining to be counted as of noon, more than the 271,406 ballots processed through Election Night. The county has 920,998 registered voters. Those outstanding ballots were spread

Mold, missing utensils revealed by audit of California prison food services

California state prisons were recently called into question over its food programs. An Office of the Inspector General audit of prison food services revealed sanitation concerns, including moldy food and facilities. “Our observations found several deficiencies at three of the prisons we reviewed including sanitation issues such as improper food storage practices, and equipment issues such as scullery machines that did not properly sanitize food trays and utensils,” Inspector General Amarik Singh said in the audit report. Auditors visited four Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation facilities to perform the audit. These on-site visits were at on‑site visits at California State Prison, Sacramento in September 2025 and October 2025; California State Prison, Corcoran and Central California Women’s Facility in October 2025; and Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility in December 2025. The Central California Women’s Facility had fewer deficiencies compared to the other three, according to the report, signalling to auditors that CDCR-managed facilities have the ability to adhere to food sanitation standards. Singh called it “an example of how a kitchen in a prison setting should be maintained.” One of the key concerns, especially at the CSP-Corcoran, was lackluster scheduling to ensure foods are discarded before going bad. At CSP-Corcoran, auditors

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.
