Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Rancho Cordova public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
School Infrastructure Funding Concerns
Anatolia parents warned the deal could lock up general-fund money needed to open the planned Sun Creek middle and high school, potentially delaying it past 2029 and pushing families to Folsom or Elk Grove.
School resource officer staffing
The district went from three SROs to two. Council asked the police chief to re-engage with FCUSD about restoring a third officer, citing the rapport SROs build at Cordova High.
Career technical education equity in local schools
Council Member Sander flagged that Cordova-area students appear to get a narrower set of CTE programs than students at other high schools in the district, and the council wants the school district to come present its programs.
George Washington Carver School investment request
The Carver School principal and two students asked the city for $250,000 to stabilize staffing and programs at the nation's first public Waldorf high school, located on 15 acres in Rancho Cordova.
Proposed small high school at 3215 Prospect Park Drive
Folsom Cordova Unified wants to buy the old office building at 3215 Prospect Park Drive and open a small high school for 300-500 students. The commission found the site consistent with the city's General Plan and will send the district a report with recommendations — an early step, not a final school approval.
