The Sacramento Zoo is closer to finding a new home after the Elk Grove City Council on March 23 directed its staff to move forward on next steps, which include the development of a master design plan and comprehensive feasibility study.

Jason Jacobs, director and CEO of the Sacramento Zoo, and his team presented their vision for a larger, more capable zoo to the city council during the recent meeting, which came two weeks after a public town hall meeting on March 10 where the organization displayed the potential economic impact and feasibility of the new zoo.

Sacramento City Unified School District teachers may have had an extra week off this spring, but it wasn’t exactly a restful vacation. Instead, many teachers spent those days on strike and picketing in a protest against their district as students had an extended rest at home.

Children and young adults across Sacramento re-entered their schools April 4 for the first time in over a week following the longest strike in decades in the Sacramento City Unified School District that lasted from March 23 to April 3.

Los Rios to maintain mask mandate

Liam Gravvat - February 18, 2022 - The Express

With the second anniversary of mask mandates on the horizon, and a recent statewide lowering of the requirement, students are still not free from the pandemic just yet. Masks are to remain compulsory on Feb. 22 for all on-ground students, professors and staff on campus for the foreseeable future.

Students may still take classes, utilize campus services and study on campus whenever they please, though they must do so while still complying with the Los Rios Community College District mask mandate. Most student and professor reaction to the news has been supportive, though some have grown exhaustive of the persistent stipulations.

Businesses on and around campus prepare for the return of students

Students who head to classes on Feb. 22 will not be returning to the same campus they remember from previous years as recognizable food businesses will have disappeared and been superseded by vending machines and food trucks.

Other local businesses will have undergone some changes too, due to the adoption of greater online presences or pandemic measures like the increased cleaning of merchandise.
