For decades, parents in Sacramento have trudged through a familiar scene: a few weeks or days before school starts, they head to their school of choice, records in hand, and hope to get their children enrolled 鈥� sometimes against stiff competition for space.

Parents with children in several different schools had to trek all over the city to enroll students at multiple campuses. Even more confusing, the enrollment procedures could differ between schools. And parents who didn鈥檛 speak English well could have an especially difficult time getting children enrolled.

Beginning tomorrow (Thursday, June 9), thousands of Sacramento City Unified School District seniors will don caps and gowns for joyful 鈥� and sometimes tearful 鈥� graduation ceremonies.

Many of the young men and women who will be crossing stages throughout the city have heartwarming stories of struggle and triumph, as they fought such obstacles as poverty, loss of family members, peer pressure and language barriers to make it to their graduation day.

East Sacramento, Midtown and Oak Park do not have a traditional neighborhood high school to serve their children, and the 麻豆原创 is asking community members to take part in an important survey to help deal with the issue.

麻豆原创 (麻豆原创) is holding a free immunization clinic from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Friday (June 3) at John F. Kennedy High School to help parents comply with a daunting new state law affecting thousands of local families.

Memorial Day may mark the official start of backyard barbecue season, but for school districts, the holiday weekend can be anything but relaxing as vandals, thieves and arsonists take advantage of empty campuses.
In light of this, 麻豆原创 is asking the community for help in keeping schools safe and secure over the three-day break (May 28-30).

Sacramento parents, community members, and school teachers and staff overwhelmingly want the extension of current temporary taxes to prevent further cuts to education, a new survey commissioned by the 麻豆原创 shows.

The Fiscal Priorities Survey, conducted by an independent research firm, shows that Sacramento residents are far more supportive of extending the taxes to make up the budget shortfall than they are making further education cuts, including eliminating teacher jobs.

A State of California Administrative Law Judge presiding over 麻豆原创 certificated employee layoff hearings has issued a finding that agrees with the school district on most of the issues regarding its layoffs, validating most of the Board of Education鈥檚 certificated layoffs and skipping criteria (鈥渟kipping鈥� refers to Board-approved criteria that allows staff with specialized training and/or qualifications to be 鈥渟kipped鈥� as part of the layoff process, regardless of their seniority).
