Why it is difficult to navigate California’s education data. Revisiting a conversation with NBA Champion Bill Cartwright. Finally, Sacramento’s Farm-to-Fork Festival wraps up this weekend with its Street Fair.

California’s Confusing Education Data
California releases a significant amount of education data, from test scores and graduation rates to absenteeism. However, that information is spread across multiple websites with dozens of graphics and filters, which can make it difficult for parents to gauge how the schools - and their children - are performing. CalMatters K-12 Education Reporter Carolyn Jones joins Insight to talk about the criticism around how California presents its data, and how tracking student success could be improved.

CalMatters is a nonprofit newsroom that partners with public media stations across the state.

Best Of: Bill Cartwright
The celebration gala for the 2024 Sacramento Walk of Stars will be held on Wednesday, Sept. 18, honoring four inductees who have called the region home. One of the individuals being honored is Elk Grove native and five-time NBA Champion, Bill Cartwright. CapRadio’s Chris Nichols spoke with Cartwright earlier this year about his life journey, from playing with Michael Jordan on the Chicago Bulls to his current role as the Director of University Initiatives at his alma mater, the University of San Francisco.

2024 Farm-to-Fork Festival
Sacramento’s annual Farm-to-Fork Festival wraps up this weekend with the Street Festival. Held on Capitol Mall, the free two-day event combines fresh food, local beers and wines, cooking demonstrations, interactive exhibits and a concert series. Visit Sacramento President and CEO Mike Testa explains what to expect from the Street Festival, which is the culmination of events held throughout the month of September to celebrate Sacramento’s designations as a Farm-to-Fork Capital.
