Jackson Neighborhood
Fresno, CA
SUCCESS!!!
23 Jackson residents joined with others from across the city to nearly fill the council chambers with over 150 folks in attendance for tonight’s Planning Commission Public Hearing on SEDA.
The meeting started with a proposal to delay the presentation and vote due to a realization that the commission had misinformation and incomplete information regarding this significant topic. They approved sending the topic back to city staff to continue research to gather complete and accurate information and to then bring it back to the commission for consideration. No date was set for this.
This is a WIN! Our hope tonight is that they would realize just what they did - that the commission was not prepared to make a decision on this topic.
It was noted that the commission has received significant public letters with concerns and they also acknowledged the significant resident turn out at the meeting.
WAY TO GO JACKSON!!!!
Stay tuned . . . there will be future meetings where we want to show up - and increase our numbers! We will keep showing up to advocate for our neighborhood and our city!
Some of the Jackson crew!
Thank you!
Thank you to the Jackson residents who shared their ideas about the Old UMC (University Medical Center)
in our recent survey.
The new owner has plans for that space and also values ideas from our neighborhood.
We are currently synthesizing the information gathered, and soon we will have a report to share.

California’s New Required Reading Risk Screener
Starting next school year (2025-26) all California public schools are required to screen all K-2 students for risk of reading difficulties, including risk for dyslexia. This universal screening is an important opportunity for schools and families to identify potential reading difficulties before the students get far behind. This allows for interventions and support to be started early in students' literacy journeys, which is when they're most effective.
