SOUTH SACRAMENTO, CA - A woman was stabbed multiple times in the neck by her boyfriend Wednesday afternoon, said Sacramento County sheriff's deputy.

Deputies responded to the 4800 block of Roosevelt Avenue after the victim was stabbed while driving with her boyfriend, said Deputy Jason Ramos.

The woman was taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

Some of South Sacramento’s best student performers will be competing for cash prizes at Hiram Johnson High School Auditorium this Friday, May 27, from 4:30 to 7:00 p.m. 

Produced by the South Sac Coalition for Future Leaders, there also will be an art show by local students.

 “These student performers are really talented… well worth coming to see,” said Rachel Iskow, Executive Director of Sacramento|Yolo Mutual Housing Association, one of the SSCFL sponsors.

Hiram Johnson is located at 6879 14th Avenue, Sacramento. Admission is free.

The show producer, South Sacramento Youth Coalition for Future Leaders, is funded by a drug-free communities grant from SAMHSA.

Thousands of Sacramento City Unified School District (SCUSD) students could be turned away from school next fall because they have not turned in records showing that they have been vaccinated against tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis (whooping cough).

State law now requires that ALL students – not just students new to the district – entering seventh through 12th grades in the fall provide proof of receiving the Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis) vaccination on or after age 7. The proof must be recorded before students enter school in September, according to the law.

In SCUSD alone, the law affects 20,000 high school and middle school students. “This is very serious,” said Superintendent Jonathan Raymond.
