• What a new California law means for tortillas (sfchronicle.com) — Elk Grove tortilla maker Mi Rancho is among the brands that may need to adjust recipes as California begins requiring folic acid in most corn masa products on Jan. 1.

• There's a class where ‘Screenagers' train to navigate social media and AI (courant.com) — Teachers in Elk Grove Unified School District are already turning to resources like Code.org and MIT Media Lab to help students understand artificial intelligence, deepfakes, and online misinformation.
