About The Union
Sac City Caregivers & Parents Union are families that came together during the pandemic to fight budget cuts. Since then, we’ve continued to advocate for students and families across SCUSD. Together we have a stronger voice.
We are an independent grassroots organization that is not affiliated with the District or its labor unions, although we strive to work collaboratively with all.
What We Do
We fight to improve K-12 public education for all students in Sac City Unified.
We empower parents & community members to have a strong voice through education and information sharing.

When We Fight, We Win!
Keeping Parents Informed
Sac City CPU kept parents informed during strike-related school closures. Holding nightly interactive meetings, we provided updates about the status of negotiations and school reopening.
Defended After-School Programs
We defended after-school programs when the district proposed cutting 4th R (after-school) programming.
Stopped Budget Cuts
Successfully stopped budget cuts and the plan to move students enrolled in special day classes mid-school year.
What SCUSD Policies Ruin Student Enrollment
Have an enrollment story? Tell us at @gmail.com
Not having a school calendar until April of each year when other Districts have calendars 2 or 3 years ahead
School sites unable to determine their own enrollment figures - principals have no say in how classes are built/enrolled
Con-capping* - find a better solution to over enrollment at school sites
Split grade classes across most elementary schools (SCUSD has 50 split grade classes at the elementary level in 2022-23, with more expected next year.)
Over-enrollment at the start of each school year in middle and high school classes
No class schedules until the first day of school (or even later)
No back-up teachers for specialized classes, causing class cancellations
Overly-complicated enrollment system
No clear path for enrolling your child in a school of choice
Too much paperwork - not streamlined and online and nowhere to check status online
Enrollment rules change every year, especially for specialty programs
No transit plan to school sites
​
* Con-capping is when SCUSD busses children from an over-enrolled neighborhood school to another school. Kids miss part of the start and end of the school day, classrooms are disrupted, and kids are pulled back to school sites the moment a seat opens up (disrupting their lives again).
