High School Summit & Press Conference

In order to encourage the involvement of youth in Sacramento, the City invited high school students to participate in a special General Plan summit. The purpose of the meeting was to get youth involved in planning the future of our City and to encourage them to attend the next set of Town Hall Forums that begin in late May.

Over 150 students and teachers from 16 different public and private schools throughout Sacramento attended the event. At the Library Galleria in downtown, students listened a presentation about the new General Plan and then got to tell the City what they wanted a future Sacramento to look like.

Beginning with interactive exercises, including a visual preferences survey, students let City staff know what housing, transportation, recreation and shopping choices they preferred. Students also told the City what was missing in their neighborhoods and what type of places and services they wanted to see.

In addition to the summit, the Mayor held a press conference for the students where she answered a variety of questions. Student reporters asked questions ranging from flooding issues to crime and safety.

On Thursday, April 20th, the City of Sacramento held a College Summit at Sacramento State University. The purpose of the College Summit was to get input from college students throughout the Sacramento region.

Over 80 students attended the event and shared their thoughts on what Sacramento should look like in the future. Results from the College Summit will be posted soon.
