• Fresno Unified eliminates funding for TK-6 field trips (yourcentralvalley.com) — Fresno Unified has cut $2.2 million in centrally funded TK-6 field trips, affecting about 40,000 students and leaving individual schools to pay from their own budgets. Teachers warn this could deepen inequities between campuses and say they were left to break the news to families, while their union plans a virtual community meeting to push for alternatives.
   

• 2 arrested after Fresno police rescue dogs that tested positive for multiple drugs (abc30.com) — Fresno police say they rescued three Chihuahua-mix dogs that tested positive for multiple drugs, leading to the arrests of two people on animal abuse-related charges. The dogs—Brownie, Baby Girl, and Vada—are recovering at the Fresno Animal Center after officers found them in poor condition in central Fresno, and staff are now focused on their long-term care and rehabilitation.
   

• Guerrilla Girls bring decades of feminist art activism back to Fresno State (fscollegian.com) — Fresno State is hosting a free Guerrilla Girls exhibition at the Phebe Conley Art Gallery from Aug. 24 through Oct. 9, spotlighting feminist art and questions of representation. Students and community members can explore the university's own role in feminist art history while engaging with the collective's provocative posters, statistics, and humor that challenge who gets seen in museums and textbooks.
