# Event Details - **Event Name**: ENLIGHTENMENT: Can Sac City Unified School District Survive This Crisis? - **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 24 Jun, 2026 at 07:00 pm – Wed, 24 Jun, 2026 at 08:00 pm - **Event Description**: An explainer on SCUSD's financial crisis and possible state takeover, and the impact on schools, students and Sacramento taxpayers.About this EventHi, it’s Vanessa, your ENLIGHTENMENT salon host.As California taxpayers, we all invest in our local public schools—but the financial headlines coming out of the Sacramento City Unified School District (SCUSD) are really bad. The district is projecting a historic budget deficit of $170 million, it may run out of cash in July, and it’s actively fighting a takeover by the state of California. Where did the money go? Sadly, SCUSD isn’t the only one facing a crisis. There are fewer students and shrinking classes in schools around California, which is leading to budget cuts and school closures statewide. So what happens next?Join me for a salon talk that breaks down SCUSD’s financial crisis and what that could mean for Sacramento students, parents, teachers and staff, and neighborhoods. We’ll also look at how California’s demographic transformation is reshaping K-12 public schools and what that could means for our community's tax dollars.OUR GUEST:* Savannah Kuchar, education reporter for Abridged by PBS KVIEPlease bring your questions — nothing is too dumb, too small or too big to ask.Tickets are $10; $5 for students. There will be drinks and snacks but please feel free to BYO. ***For more information about ENLIGHTENMENT and about California Groundbreakers, go to californiagroundbreakers.org https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events6/banners/6c9247a0-6aca-11f1-84dc-45f3f336a641-rimg-w740-h740-dcffffff-gmir.jpg - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/sacramento/enlightenment-can-sac-city-unified-school-district-survive-this-crisis/100001992093534387 - **Event Categories**: fitness, Workshops - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 7.18, max: 12.51, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Sacramento - **state**: CA - **country**: United States - **location**: Enlightenment Salon - **lat**: 38.5663276 - **long**: -121.4992383 - **full address**: Enlightenment Salon, 2221 10th Street, Sacramento, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: ENLIGHTENMENT: Can Sac City Unified School District Survive This Crisis? - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/850f569257ee1c3d84157f40e696191280a9da308c63b0e1c4760bfbbab1c883-rimg-w898-h574-dc58a13f-gmir.jpg?v=1781755337 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is ENLIGHTENMENT: Can Sac City Unified School District Survive This Crisis? being held? - **A:** ENLIGHTENMENT: Can Sac City Unified School District Survive This Crisis? takes place on Wed, 24 Jun, 2026 at 07:00 pm to Wed, 24 Jun, 2026 at 08:00 pm at Enlightenment Salon, 2221 10th Street, Sacramento, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing ENLIGHTENMENT: Can Sac City Unified School District Survive This Crisis?? - **A:** ENLIGHTENMENT: Can Sac City Unified School District Survive This Crisis? is organized by California Groundbreakers. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "ENLIGHTENMENT: Can Sac City Unified School District Survive This Crisis?", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/850f569257ee1c3d84157f40e696191280a9da308c63b0e1c4760bfbbab1c883-rimg-w898-h574-dc58a13f-gmir.jpg?v=1781755337", "startDate": "2026-06-24", "endDate": "2026-06-24", "url": "https://allevents.in/sacramento/enlightenment-can-sac-city-unified-school-district-survive-this-crisis/100001992093534387", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "Enlightenment Salon", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "2221 10th Street", "postalCode": "95818", "addressLocality": "Sacramento", "addressRegion": "CA", "addressCountry": "US" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "38.5663276", "longitude": "-121.4992383" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "An explainer on SCUSD's financial crisis and possible state takeover, and the impact on schools, students and Sacramento taxpayers.", "offers": [ { "@type": "AggregateOffer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-09-06", "availabilityEnds": "2026-06-24", "validFrom": "2026-09-06", "lowPrice": "7.18", "highPrice": "12.51", "price": "7.18", "url": "https://allevents.in/sacramento/enlightenment-can-sac-city-unified-school-district-survive-this-crisis/100001992093534387" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-09-06", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-09-06", "url": "https://allevents.in/sacramento/enlightenment-can-sac-city-unified-school-district-survive-this-crisis/100001992093534387", "price": "12.51", "name": "General Admission" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-09-06", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-09-06", "url": "https://allevents.in/sacramento/enlightenment-can-sac-city-unified-school-district-survive-this-crisis/100001992093534387", "price": "7.18", "name": "Discounted Tickets for Students" } ], "organizer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "California Groundbreakers", "url": "https://allevents.in/org/california-groundbreakers/22545966", "description": "We're a civic-engagement, community-focused organization putting together panels, interviews, discussions and events focused on cool people doing groundbreaking things and possibly causing earth-shattering change in California and beyond.These are not your typical seminars held in Sheraton Ballroom C.
