Bryte and Broderick Community Institute (BBCI)
The 4th installment of the Bryte and Broderick Community Institute (BBCI 4) will be on March 6 from 9:00am to noon. BBCI 4 will focus on practical ideas for resident-driven projects. We will work on project ideas gleaned from our past meetings and workshops, and map what they would look like if planned from start to finish. This will be a valuable practical exercise where skills will be learned for application in other situations. Participants with all levels of project planning and management experience are welcome. more info...

BBCAN Education and Schools Committee
Following the appointment of a new chair, the Education and Schools Committee is beginning to work closely with the education community with the goal of collaborating or providing input on recommendations, projects and decisions.

The WUSD Board has selected Michele Lawrence as the Interim Superintendent of the School District. Ms. Lawrence recently retired as Superintendent of Berkeley Unified School District where she worked for seven years, and has worked in California schools for over 35 years. The School Board has hired The Cosca Group to assist with the search for a new Superintendent. If you would like to work with BBCAN to give input in the selection criteria - such as skills, experience, abilities - for the new Superintendent candidates, please call 916-837-3240 or email.

West Sac Counts! 2010 Census
The Census determines the distribution of more than $400 billion annually of government funding for critical community services. It generates thousands of jobs across the country. And it impacts your voice in Congress. That data is used in determining U.S. House of Representative seats, community planning for roads, hospitals, schools and health and other services. If you or your organization would like to participate in the census, contact the West Sacramento Complete Count Committee as soon as possible.
