There are 48,000 enrolled in oakland unified but not everyone showed up today ready to go. The student law making students be vaccinated made for a busy first day. We are live in oakland with the story. Laura . Reporter hi, dan. Well this new state law did catch some families by surprise and a lastminute scramble to get the vaccine done and the paperwork turned in but for some families the first day of school came too soon. A lastminute rush to make sure all oakland unified School Students are up to date on vaccines and in compliance of school law may have kept several hundred out of class today. It is not a situation as we were concerned two weeks ago when we were looking at over a thousand students and then last week at over 400 students and at the same time we have had families who continue to need support with vaccines and were doing everything we can to get them the information and the support they need. Part of the issue the district staff has failed to process the paperwork turned in at the last minute. The senate bill 277 which took effect eliminated the religious exemption for vaccines. Medical exemptions are still allowed but only in certain and very limited circumstances. And frankly, pediatricians and d. O. And doctors will only be able to sign them if there is a real medical reason that the child should not receive a vaccine so that is allergy or a problem with the immune system. Reporter now the district did offer families a grace period of sorts if they could show they had an appointment to get the vaccines, a plan to get the vaccine and they were allowed in the class today. In oakland, laura anthony, abc 7 news. Laura, when the new law passed, some oakland residents or patients threatened to pull kids out of the district. Has that actually happened . Reporter the superintendent told me he thinks it has. It is just at this point it is too early to tell exactly how many families might have done that. Theyll take a look at those numbers as the school year progresses but certainly some families did threaten to either homeschool their kids or to actually move out of state to to not have to comply with this new law. Okay. Thanks, laura. A big victory today for teachers unions. The California Supreme Court has decided to let the state teacher tenure law stand.

Slightly warmer days going through midweek, through wednesday and a cooling trend begins on thursday and takes us through the weekend and in early next week and much cooler than average during that period of time. Overnight looking for the chance of some drizzle, near the bay and low clouds pushing inland overnight and low temperatures in the range weve seen the last week or so. Mainly mid to upper 50s. Our forecast animation starting this afternoon at 5 00 into the Early Morning hours. At 7 00, low clouds and fog over the bay and beyond. So Early Morning commuters will be greeted by low visibility in some spots but mid morning the clouds pull back to the coastline giving us mostly sunny day inland and over the bay and the pattern weve had for the last week or so. Speaking of pattern, this is the High Temperature for the next few days, cool for august with temperatures below average. Little change the next couple of days except for maybe a bump up of a degree or two on wednesday and below average on thursday and that will take us on into the weekend. So more specifically for tomorrow, high of 63 in San Francisco. 69 across the bay in oakland. 85 inland east bay at antioch and livermore and here is the accuweather sevenday forecast. Temperatures will be well below average by friday and will remain in that range through the weekend into early next week so it is going to feel a little bit foglike or as some like to call it fogust.

A Family Member provided this video of her on a roller coaster declaring her love for jenner. I think the celebrity of the victim certainly raised the profile. But even independent of that, there has been increasing attention paid to cyber stalking recently. They arrested bankston at her parents home last thursday, the following day she posted 20,000 bail and by phone on friday her father said this. She first started stalking people when she was a young girl, 11 or 12 years old. But it was by phone. And that as she got older and got a computer then it was by computer. Hes put evidence out there that is very incriminating and suggest that we may likely see a defense related to her mental condition. More than a defense of it wasnt me, i didnt do it. Today the judge add additional bail conditions. Shes now prohibited from using any Electronic Device to make statements or ininquiries about the case. This is after bankston asked if she could blog about the case for money. Bankstons mother agreed to be her custodian.

So what you need to do is get together with your agent and perhaps even ask them to come out to your property and go this is what the situation is, why am i not being covered. We have to go back and make sure, because normally when a tree falls on insured property, you are covered. Is that right . Yeah. So you are probably covered. And terry from mill valley emailed, why does every comcast user pay 3 a month for a Regional Sports fee. It is found under other charges and credits. Companies love to add fees now, rather than just say that is part of what they are charging you. It is not a government fee or anything like that. But theyve had additional costs and they think it looks better to put it over there. A lot of companies do this now. You cant get out of it even if you dont watch sports. It is part of the fee of being part of a company, they just separated it out. It makes it look better. Much like they separate out tax. And you have seen it. It is their version of the Airline Baggage fee. Absolutely. Thanks, michael. Sure.

A 2,000yearold relic believed to hold part of the cross that christ was crucified on was taken from a church in Lower Pacific Heights and stolen sometime on thursday. Abc 7 News Reporter Cornell Bernard has the story. We have some unfortunate news. Reporter it is not the way the father wanted to start sunday mass at st. Dominics catholic church. The churchs most treasured relic stolen from this display case believed to contain a fragment of the true cross. The true cross is a relic that goes back 2,000 years to the very cross of christ himself. If it were to be stolen in this very deliberate way is certainly both upsetting but very, very saddening. Here is a picture of the relic before the theft. A tiny crucifix containing a sliver of wood. The father shows us how a thief or thieves popped out a lock in the case and made off with the relic, leaving behind the red wax pappal seal from the 1700s. Many prayed at the relic most every day. It is like a piece of our heart has been just pulled out and that little heartbeat is gone and we need to get it back. For somebody to do it, it is like, really, they must be out of their mind and im really sorry for them. I pray for them. It is sad that something would happen to such a church that does so much good for everyone. Reporter there were no witnesses to the crime and no security cameras inside of the church. Police say with few clues, there is little they can do. Were hoping that people have a change of heart and perhaps we can discover it again and restore this important relic to our church. Reporter now despite the theft, st. Dominic will continue to keep doors open to the public all day long. In San Francisco, Cornell Bernard, abc 7 news. [ inaudible ]. Honestly, i couldnt believe it.

It was a left ring finger bit off right here at the knuckle by a suspect who is trying to break back into the bar after closing time. As you said, there is one key piece of evidence, look over my shoulder right here, above that window, it is a video camera. And that video camera showed not only the suspect, but also a friend outside of the restaurant. This video shows the man who San Francisco police say wander back into the silver cloud restaurant so badly after closing time he broke in through a window and got into a bartend got into fight with a bartender and he bit off his finger. The restaurant and karaoke was closed today as it always is on monday. No one from the restaurant could talk about what happened. Police have not revealed the victims identity. But they have been looking at this video for a month hoping for a lead on the suspect and getting nowhere. Well, i honestly couldnt believe it. Officer carlos showed us two video clips including a second in which the suspect removes his shirt and wrestles with a friend and identification of other person would help the investigation. All we need is one name for one lead and then that could open up a whole new door and we could make an arrest. As for the bartender he was able to take the finger with him to the hospital. They tried to put it back on, but they werent able to save the finger. So unfortunately, this bartender now has a prosthetic finger to replace
