What a delight--the photographs and the writing are excellent.

Sounds like a great school. Excellent coverage, with pictures. Thanks.

Thank you, Samantha Corbin and the Sacramento Press for scooping the Bee on this. The ongoing story will be whether the Sac City School Board continues to rely on the District office's recommendations to cut services to the neediest students and families, or whether it does the gutsy thing and take a hard look at the the District's contracts and consultants budget, like the San Diego School Board did (see Leo Bennett-Cauchon's comment on the SDUSD's action, above).

Surely you're kidding, Oracle. When you go back to your cave, don't you want to draw on the walls every once in a while?
