K-12 Enrollment Declines

California is home to more than five million K-12 students, the highest number in the country. But for almost a decade, statewide enrollment has declined including a nearly 75,000-student drop this year. This has major implications for school funding, which is tied to daily attendance. EdSource reporters John Fensterwald and Diana Lambert join Insight to talk about this ongoing slide, and how some districts in the Sacramento region appear to be bucking the trend.

My Favorite Tree

In honor of Earth Day, CapRadio is going all in on Sacramento being the City of Trees. The SacramenKnow team has launched My Favorite Tree asking listeners and readers to send a photo and message of their favorite tree. Communities Reporters Keyshawn Davis and Ruth Finch join us to share some of the responses so far. We’ll also get a tour of Capitol Park to learn about native trees. And if you’d like some shade, they’ll tell us about a SMUD program where you can plant them free of charge.

Community Asian Theatre of the Sierra

Jeannie Wood is the Executive Director of the Community Asian Theatre of the Sierra (CATS) based in Grass Valley. She joins us ahead of the premiere of Rashomon at the Nevada Theatre with Director Sonny Alforque and Actors Josh Laquian and Eileen Hoang. The production is based on the 1950 film exploring notions of truth and justice. It runs from April 23 to May 16.

Guitarist Tommy Emmanuel

Tommy Emmanuel is an award-winning Australian guitarist and composer who has been performing since he was a young child in the early 1960s. His distinct style and blend of pop, folk, country, jazz and classical have garnered him worldwide recognition as one of the greatest living guitar players. He is currently on tour for his latest album Living in the Light and has a stop at the historic Crest Theatre April 22. Excellence in Jazz Host Avery Jeffry sat down with Emmanuel to discuss his star studded musical career.
