1. New Arcade Monsters mural becomes subject of city review (citrusheightssentinel.com) — A new black-and-white "SACRAMENTO" mural on the future Arcade Monsters building behind Sunrise Mall is under review by the City of Citrus Heights for compliance with mural and signage rules.

2. Hoover bills on digital wellness, social media safeguards signed by governor (folsomtimes.com) — New state laws backed by Assemblyman Josh Hoover will shape how Citrus Heights students learn about digital wellness and how social media platforms handle users under 16.

NorCal school district hit by unexpected 1,200-student enrollment drop (amedpost.com) — Families in Citrus Heights could feel the impact of San Juan Unified's unexpected loss of about 1,200 students, which may cost the district up to $3.7 million this year and more over time. District leaders serving Citrus Heights, Arden-Arcade, Carmichael, and Orangevale are analyzing why enrollment dropped so sharply as they juggle rising special education costs and labor talks.

Man killed by officers after Highway 50 pursuit identified as Carmichael resident (sacbee.com) — Law enforcement officers, including Citrus Heights police, fatally shot a 61-year-old Carmichael man after a late-night pursuit that began near Folsom and Sunrise and ended on westbound Highway 50.
