Grizzly Flats Post Office Reopens Following Caldor Fire
The 2021 Caldor Fire largely destroyed the community of Grizzly Flats, and rebuilding has been slow. But this week there is a landmark to celebrate. More than two years after the devastating wildfire, the town’s U.S. Post Office has reopened. And this milestone is about more than just mail. Grizzly Flats resident Eileen Strangfeld, Postmaster Alicia Leech, and Mark Almer from the Grizzly Flats Fire Safe Council join Insight with an update on the town’s restoration.

Sac County’s Progress to Add Mental Health Clinicians to Schools
CapRadio's Sacramento K-12 Education Reporter Srishti Prabha shares their reporting on the progress and challenges Sacramento County is facing in their push to add mental health clinicians in classrooms. In 2020, the Sacramento County Office of Education set a goal to have a clinician at every school - roughly 300 campuses - but progress has been slow. However there are bright spots. Srishti explains that schools like Ethel I Baker Elementary within Sac City Unified show promising potential. 

You can also read Srishti’s reporting in The Sacramento Observer.

Bilingual University Fair
Navigating the next steps after high school can be daunting. Applications, money - and even a family’s status here in California - can all be factored into where students choose to go to college. Steps to College is the largest bilingual and binational university fair in Northern California. The one-day event in Sacramento provides students and their families with valuable information on the financial aid process, meet with college and university counselors, and learn about higher education options. Joining us with more on “Steps to College” are organizers, Dr. Miguel Molina, Academic Advisor for the College Assistance Migrant Program (CAMP) at Sac State, and Tonatiuh Gonzalez, Consul General of Mexico in Sacramento.
