Sac City Unified Back-to-School Changes
School is back in session in Sacramento. More than 40,000 students, teachers and administrators have returned to Sacramento City Unified School District. But this year comes with changes in priorities, personnel and even pay. CapRadio Sacramento Education reporter, Srishti Prabha, joins Insight today for an update on teacher contract negotiations, the search for a new superintendent and changes to a few school names.
Mother Lode ADU Program
Ben Goger, Mariposa County Housing and Community Development Specialist, discusses a new effort to curb the housing crisis. Mother Lode ADU is a new partnership between the counties of Amador, Calveras, Mariposa, and Nevada to make it easier for residents to add accessory dwelling units to their properties in an effort to curb the housing crisis.
New High School Dual Enrollment Program
Laura Davis, College Coordinator at Sacramento Charter High, and student Edie Park, discuss a new dual enrollment program called the Panther Pipeline where Sac High juniors and seniors can take Sacramento City College classes and earn college credits while in high school. St. HOPE Public Schools, which runs Sac High, says the program is supported through state grant funding and it is one of two high schools in the city that offers high school students a chance to earn college credits.
