The post Board Meeting Minutes July and September 2026 appeared first on East Sacramento Preservation.

When neighbor Anita Clevenger retired, she set two goals for herself: become a Sacramento County UC Cooperative Extension Master Gardener and spend time outdoors every day. One of her many Master Gardener projects brought her to the school gardens at the El Dorado School’s McClaskey Adult Center, where she advised students working in the gardens.

Today, Clevenger is spearheading the care of those same gardens at El Dorado School. Working alongside other Master Gardeners and a growing crew of neighborhood volunteers, she is helping protect two distinctive community spaces during a period of transition. East Sacramento Preservation has entered into a formal stewardship agreement with the Sacramento City Unified School District to care for the school’s Edible/Pollinator Garden—identified as the Gilmore Garden in the agreement—and its Rain Garden. The agreement allows volunteers to maintain the gardens while the district proceeds with the sale of the property. That process may take approximately two years.

For Clevenger and the garden crew, the work involves more than pulling weeds and pruning overgrown plants. “The gardens are closely tied to the school’s students, teachers, history and our neighborhood,” said Clevenger.

A Garden Created by Students

The Edible/Pollinator Garden was established in 2012 near the corner of 53rd and J streets. Teachers Kathy Harris and Cathy Ramirez led the effort to establish the garden, and their adult students with developmental disabilities helped bring it to life.

The students propagated plants, started seeds, planted garden beds, tended crops and harvested what they grew. They sold plants, produce and flowers during spring and fall plant sales and at pop-up stands along J Street.

The garden was also a place to slow down.

“Students enjoyed their morning coffee there, taking in its peace and beauty and greeting neighbors—and their dogs—as they passed,” Clevenger said.

Today, the garden includes two apple trees, two pomegranate trees, a large Meyer lemon tree, a fig tree, herbs and an array of flowering plants. Climbing along the fence is a Peggy Martin rose, sometimes called the Hurricane Katrina survivor rose. The variety became known for surviving approximately two weeks under floodwater following Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Its vigorous return made it a living symbol of endurance and renewal.

That story feels especially fitting in a garden now entering a new stage of its own life.

Making Room for a Community Garden

The vision for the Edible/Pollinator Garden is to operate it as a community garden. Volunteers may tend individual beds or work together to plant, maintain and harvest shared crops.

There is currently room for volunteers interested in planting a winter garden. Produce will be shared among volunteers and the surrounding community, with excess harvests donated to River City Food Bank.

Under the guidance of Sacramento County UC Master Gardeners, volunteers will also learn how to propagate roses and perennials. The goal is not only to maintain the garden, but also to create a place where neighbors can exchange practical knowledge and learn alongside one another.

Restoring the Rain Garden

The school district installed the Rain Garden in 2017 following years of study by students and staff on ways to conserve water.

Its system of three catchment basins collects and retains rainwater, while hundreds of native plants provide food and shelter for birds, insects and other wildlife. The garden has been recognized through the National Wildlife Federation’s Certified Wildlife Habitat program and is also listed as a Schoolyard Habitat Garden. In 2024, it was featured on the Gardens Gone Native Tour.

During the past year, however, the Rain Garden became badly overgrown. Its restoration is now being led by Kathy Harris and two UC Master Gardeners, with help from the volunteer crew.

The plan includes removing weeds, trimming plants, spreading mulch and sowing wildflowers in bare areas. Volunteers will also have opportunities to propagate native plants and learn how to care for them.

The work will take time, but the crew looks forward to seeing the Rain Garden become a neighborhood showplace once again.

Stewardship During a Time of Change

Under the agreement, East Sacramento Preservation’s El Dorado Garden Committee is responsible for horticultural care, including planting, pruning, weeding, propagation and harvesting. The school district will continue to provide irrigation and green-waste disposal and maintain the perimeter fencing, gates and water infrastructure.

The agreement remains in effect until the School Board enters into a lease or purchase-and-sale agreement with a potential buyer, either party terminates the arrangement, or December 31, 2028—whichever occurs first.

For the volunteers, that creates both a responsibility and an opportunity. “We want to protect what students and teachers built while imagining how the gardens can serve the wider community today,” said Clevenger.

How to Volunteer

Volunteers currently meet:

• Edible/Pollinator Garden: Tuesdays, 8:30–10:30 a.m.
• Rain Garden: Wednesdays, 8:30–10:30 a.m.

Additional workdays will be scheduled as needed.

Children ages 8 and older may participate when accompanied and supervised by a parent or legal guardian. Dogs are not permitted on the property.

To volunteer or request additional information, contact Anita Clevenger at eldoradoschoolgarden@gmail.com.

Whether planting vegetables, learning to propagate a native plant or helping reclaim an overgrown garden bed, volunteers can take part in preserving a meaningful piece of Historic El Dorado School—and help these gardens flourish during the property’s transition.

The post A New Chapter for the Historic El Dorado School Gardens appeared first on East Sacramento Preservation.

The Sacramento City Council voted to designate Historic El Dorado School as a City of Sacramento landmark and add it to the Sacramento Register of Historic and Cultural Resources.

At the state level, the California State Historical Resources Commission approved the school’s nomination to the National Register of Historic Places. The State Historic Preservation Officer will now forward the nomination to the National Park Service’s Keeper of the National Register for final federal review. No separate federal application is required. If approved, Historic El Dorado School will be listed in the National Register and included in the California Register of Historical Resources.

ESP board members guided these efforts through the state and city processes, with strong support from neighborhood activists. Thank you to everyone who worked on the nominations, submitted comments, attended meetings and spoke in support of preserving this important neighborhood landmark.

Historic recognition is an important achievement, but it does not determine the school’s future use. That work comes next.

According to the Sacramento City Unified School District, the property is currently in a required 60-day period during which public entities—such as the city, county, state agencies or other public bodies interested in using the property for parks, recreation, education, public services or other public purposes—may submit offers. That period will end after the first week of October.

If the district does not receive a suitable offer, it can seek a waiver from the State Board of Education. The waiver would relieve the district of certain Education Code requirements that could otherwise require the property to be sold to the highest bidder at an open board meeting, without giving the district control over the buyer or future use.

Ideally, the district would then work with a consultant to develop a Request for Proposals, or RFP, seeking a proposal that best supports the district’s goals for the property. District representatives estimate that the complete process could take approximately two years if everything proceeds smoothly.

We have secured local recognition of Historic El Dorado School’s importance and moved it closer to national recognition. Now the community must remain involved as its next chapter takes shape. Stay tuned.

The post We Did It! El Dorado School Achieves Historic Recognition appeared first on East Sacramento Preservation.

East Sacramento Preservation is not interested in shaming businesses. Every business contributes to our neighborhood in both positive and challenging ways. Instead, we believe it is important to reflect on the long-term impact of past decisions so we can make better ones in the future.

One of the most significant losses to East Sacramento was the demolition of the historic Alhambra Theatre to make way for today’s Safeway. In doing so, our community lost an extraordinary example of architecture, craftsmanship, and civic identity. Like the Tower Theatre on Broadway, the Alhambra might have remained an iconic gathering place and a treasured landmark for generations. Instead, we lost a piece of our shared history, and the surrounding corridor has struggled with challenges that few could have envisioned decades ago.

Now our community faces another important decision.

The future of the historic El Dorado School is being decided before our eyes. The Sacramento City Council will soon determine whether the building receives designation as a Sacramento Historic Landmark. Following that decision, the State of California will consider whether the property should also receive state historic recognition.

At the same time, the Sacramento City Unified School District is preparing to sell the property. What happens next will help define this part of East Sacramento for decades to come.

Should the site become another development? Could it become a vibrant community center? Is there another vision that would best serve our neighborhood?

East Sacramento Preservation supports landmark designation because preserving our history keeps future possibilities alive.

Now we’d like to hear from you.

What would you like to see the El Dorado School become?

Please share your thoughts in the comments. Your ideas, your memories, and your vision for East Sacramento are an important part of this conversation.

The post From the Alhambra Theatre to El Dorado School: What Should East Sacramento Do Next? appeared first on East Sacramento Preservation.

Many newer residents may not remember when the Alhambra Theatre stood proudly on Alhambra Boulevard. For decades, its distinctive tower and elegant architecture served as a landmark that helped define the character of the neighborhood. When the theater was demolished, East Sacramento lost more than a building. It lost a piece of its identity.

Historic buildings connect us to the people and stories that came before us. They remind us that neighborhoods are more than streets and property lines—they are places shaped by generations of residents, students, teachers, families, and community institutions.

Today, East Sacramento has an opportunity to protect another important part of that history.

On June 17, the Sacramento Preservation Commission will consider historic designation for the El Dorado School/McClaskey Adult Center. The campus has served Sacramento residents for generations and remains one of the neighborhood’s most recognizable historic landmarks. Its architecture, history, and community significance make it worthy of preservation and recognition.

Historic designation does not stop time. It simply acknowledges that certain places have special value and deserve thoughtful consideration as our city continues to evolve.

Community support can make a difference. If you support historic designation for El Dorado School, please consider submitting a brief comment. Even a few sentences explaining why the building matters to you can help demonstrate community interest in preserving this important landmark.

This year marks the tenth year that East Sacramento Preservation has awarded scholarships to outstanding students in our community. As in years past, this year’s recipients represent the very best of East Sacramento—young people whose hard work, character, and dedication have prepared them for success in higher education and beyond.

East Sacramento Preservation is proud to support public education, our community, and the students of Umoja International Academy, Sacramento’s International Baccalaureate middle and high school. This year, each scholarship recipient received a $1,500 award to help support their educational goals. We are honored to recognize three exceptional students.

Mahmoud Al Tayyeb exemplifies academic excellence, resilience, and integrity. Despite financial challenges, he has balanced rigorous coursework with family responsibilities while remaining active in volunteer and leadership roles. Driven by curiosity and a commitment to helping others, Mahmoud has earned this scholarship through his determination, character, and desire to make a positive impact on the world around him.

Sophia Schult demonstrates the discipline and perseverance that define true achievement. A standout rower and her class valedictorian, she has balanced demanding academics with the rigorous schedule of a competitive athlete. Her accomplishments reflect not only talent, but also resilience, sacrifice, and an unwavering commitment to excellence.

Sienna Durda is a remarkable student whose intelligence, kindness, and sense of humor have made a lasting impression on her teachers and classmates. Her passion for the biological sciences, combined with her humility and compassion, sets her apart. UCLA is fortunate to welcome a student of her caliber, and we know she will continue to inspire those around her.

We extend our sincere thanks to the scholarship committee, especially Sandra Carter, for presenting the awards at graduation. East Sacramento Preservation is also deeply grateful to the many community members whose generosity has sustained this scholarship program over the past decade.

This year, we would like to offer special recognition to Friends of East Sacramento, whose support helped fund the scholarships and assist Umoja International Academy with important expenses beyond the school’s regular budget.

Congratulations to Mahmoud, Sophia, and Sienna. We wish each of them continued success as they begin the next chapter of their educational journeys.

There is a special beauty to buildings created with care, craftsmanship, and purpose. When thoughtful design and community values come together, a building becomes more than a structure—it becomes part of a neighborhood’s identity.

Few places embody that spirit more than historic El Dorado Elementary School in East Sacramento.

For generations, El Dorado has been a neighborhood landmark, gathering place, and cherished part of the lives of thousands of Sacramento families.

Designed by the renowned Sacramento architectural firm Dean & Dean, El Dorado is part of an architectural legacy that helped shape Sacramento. The firm designed some of the city’s most recognizable landmarks, including the Sacramento Memorial Auditorium, the Sutter Club, Westminster Presbyterian Church, and numerous schools. Preserving El Dorado means preserving a tangible piece of Sacramento’s architectural heritage.

Today, its future stands at a critical crossroads.

As Sacramento faces growing development pressures, properties like El Dorado become increasingly attractive for redevelopment. While development has an important role in our city, El Dorado represents something that cannot be replaced once it is lost.

Community members are currently working to secure historic designation for the campus through the Sacramento City Unified School District’s 7-11 Committee process. At a recent meeting, Preservation Sacramento’s William Burg encouraged supporters to ask the district to submit letters of support to both the City of Sacramento Historic Preservation Office and the California State Historic Preservation Office.

The next 7-11 Committee meeting is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. at El Dorado Elementary/McClaskey. If recommendations move forward, they may be presented to the School Board on June 18 at the Serna Center.

This is a pivotal moment. Whether you are a neighbor, former student, parent, educator, or preservation advocate, your voice matters.

Take Action Now

• Ask Sacramento City Unified School District to support historic designation for El Dorado Elementary.
