Here\u2019s a quick look at the top stories for Friday, May 1, including a major freeway closure, a push to retire a high school mascot and new leadership at the city\u2019s largest school district.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Fix50 weekend closure: A key connector from eastbound Highway 50 to the northbound Capital City Freeway will shut down for 15 hours<\/a> starting at 10 p.m. Friday, reopening at 1 p.m. Saturday, according to Caltrans District 3. The $511 million project is now expected to wrap up this summer.<\/p>\n \u2022 High school mascot under fire: Sacramento City Unified is moving to change the \u201cwarriors\u201d mascot at Hiram Johnson High School<\/a> after years of advocacy from student Lozen Miranda-Brightman and the tribal community. A 2024 state law also bars derogatory Native American mascots starting July 1, and the change is estimated to cost about $250,000.<\/p>\n \u2022 New Sacramento City Unified superintendent: The Sacramento City Unified school board voted 7-0 to make Cancy McArn the district\u2019s permanent superintendent<\/a>. McArn, in her 30th year with the district, will earn a base salary of $365,000 through June 30, 2028, as the district faces a financial crisis that could lead to state receivership by fall.<\/p>\n \u2022 Corti Brothers deli: The iconic Folsom Street grocery store\u2019s deli counter offers grab-and-go sandwiches<\/a>, including the Corti Special for $8.49 (or a dollar less prepackaged). Founded in 1947, Corti Brothers is credited with introducing white truffles, real balsamic vinegar and Parmigiano-Reggiano to U.S. shoppers.<\/p>\n This report was produced with the assistance of a proprietary tool powered by artificial intelligence based on our own originally reported, written and published content.
