As students return to class after spring break, families are grappling with changing COVID regulations and potential remaining tension between the city school district and teachers and workers.
Two unions representing thousands of teachers and staff within the Sacramento City Unified School District overwhelmingly voted Thursday to authorize a strike. It has not set a strike date yet.
The initiation of the process follows Sacramento City Unified hiring a race and equity liaison to investigate racist incidents. Advocates say the incident itself reflects broader cultural problems in the district that remain unaddressed.
