Sacramento City Unified strikes new deal with teachers union after county blocked first try

The Sacramento City Unified School District has reached a new agreement with the Sacramento City Teachers Association, aiming to secure the district's budget for at least the next two years. This new deal comes after the Sacramento County Office of Education previously blocked an earlier contract. The district is now seeking the county's approval for this updated agreement, with the state superintendent of public instruction having signaled support for the district's fiscal solvency plan. The agreement includes extending the use of a special reserve fund for retired teachers' health benefits for an additional year.
