ECONOMY NEWS
- ➤ Sonoma County’s Crop Report shows that the total value of crops fell to just over $857 million in 2024—more than a 9% drop from 2023. Wine grapes lost 12.6% of their value while apples, livestock, and milk production saw gains as the poultry industry struggled with bird flu. KSRO Radio
EDUCATION NEWS
- ➤ Santa Rosa City Schools lost over 500 students—a 4% decline—at the start of the school year after plans to close six campuses and move middle schoolers to high schools led to fewer enrollments. District leaders say the drop matches their projections and they will now focus on boosting attendance and academic programs. KSRO Radio
- ➤ Students at Petaluma and Casa Grande high schools are adapting to a new seven-period day—classes start at 8:30 a.m. and advisory periods on Wednesdays and Fridays offer extra support—to better meet the needs of all learners. KSRO Radio
- ➤ The Sonoma Valley Unified School District Board of Trustees will meet on September 23 — a special meeting set to evaluate closing Prestwood Elementary School — due to low enrollment and needed facility repairs that could save between $1 million and $1.4 million. The board recently consolidated two middle schools to further reduce costs. KSRO Radio
GOVERNMENT NEWS
- ➤ Sonoma County officials reported Tuesday’s homeless survey showing a 23% drop to 1,952 individuals, the lowest count in two decades thanks to increased permanent housing beds while noting rises in chronic homelessness and homeless families. Health officials warned that upcoming federal budget cuts could threaten key programs like housing vouchers that help about 20,000 residents—casting doubt on future support. KSRO Radio

A new take on hydration
For those tracking hydration, sodium intake is key. A growing wave of research suggests that optimal health may require sodium levels two to three times higher than traditional guidelines.
That’s where LMNT comes in. This zero-sugar electrolyte mix offers a science-backed boost without the additives. Popular among athletes, intermittent fasters, and wellness-minded parents alike, it's redefining how people stay hydrated.
Try LMNT totally risk-free and get a free LMNT Sample Pack with any purchase. Pro tip: If you don’t like it, they’ll refund your order, no questions asked.
