Michelle is there any push back from students who want to keep this mascot . Reporter absolutely. There are a lot of students who would like to keep it saying its tradition. Meanwhile you can see it in many spots in the front of the building. The principal says its worth the money to take it down if it means all students will feel included.

Reporting live in san lorenzo, Michelle Roberts, nbc bay area news. Thank you, michelle. Lets turn things over to Jeff Rainieri to find out the storm coming in is a first of a series of storms. Were good for at least three storms in the rest of the next four days. Get the umbrellas back out and jackets as well. Temperatures are going to be dropping. On the Doppler Radar and satellite it says it all. Cloud cover increasing right now. The cold front is just off to the north. As many of you know who watch me every night when that coal front gets closer thats where we have the best chance of rainfall occurring. Were still about five hours away from some of the rainfall starting to enter the north bay. Nonetheless some changes have been pretty rapid again with the clouds and also some spotty drizzle happening across San Francisco. So specifically for tomorrow mornings forecast well begin with that chance of rain in the north bay. San francisco back toward the peninsula and the south bay. Temperatures starting off in the low 50s. For tomorrow well keep that chance of rain, scattered rain. Notice how the temperatures drop. 66 in the south bay. Trivalley at 64. San francisco expecting 62. North bay at 63. We think at this point about. 25 inch as we head through thursday. I really want to hit right now the larger point. Why is this rainfall finally deciding to return after such a dry february . Theres one key component thats linked to el nino. Its this Southern Branch of the jet stream, the subtropical moisture also known as an Atmospheric River. It looks like over the next couple of days its going to be aimed right here at central and southern california. So as these storm system move closer its going to interact with that Atmospheric River and help to boost our rainfall potential. Not only increasing the rainfall chances here across the bay area, that Atmospheric River will do, but also the sierra snow. If everything happens as we expect it, check out the potential tenday estimate of snowfall. It may hit 2 to 3 feet across the Higher Elevations. That is fantastic news for the drought. Well have more coming up in about 25 minutes. Thank you, jeff. You know you can track the storms with our radar from our app. Heres nbc bay areas peggy bunk.

Its the first of its kind in san jose avenue. The colorful change to celebrate diversity. Happening now. Donald trumps big win on supertuesday has thousands of americans looking to move to canada. Google says the number of people searching how to move canada has jumped 350 . Also de also accidental pregnancies in the United States dropped to its lowest level in the last 30 years. Those stories are trending on our web site. Its one of the best in the world producing seven nobel Prize Winners. The question on the cal campus why would we shut down the college of chemistry. Simple answer. Its all about money. U. C. Berkeley is facing a major budget deficit. Many cal students and alumni not happy about it. New debt threatens old establishments. A few weeks ago, cal announced it was 150 million in the red. Now there are talks of closing down the nearly 150yearold college of chemistry to help balance the books. Chemists from around the world fly to berkeley. Its the best in the world. And it doesnt make any sense to me why they would want to get rid of the history behind that. Seven of u. C. Berkeleys 22 nobel Prize Winners are in chemistry. Senior Jonathan Melville has now started an online petition to save the department. He believes folding it into the college of letters and science and college of engineering will make chemistry students feel like just another number on a big campus. The college of chemistry is really unique. Its almost like being in a private college in the middle of u. C. Berkeley. We have our own advising. We have our own faculty. Many of these attributes that he points to in his petition, theyre the very ones we want to hold onto and secure. Reporter cal Spokesman Says the university understands the resentments but says combining colleges could save millions of dollars in administration costs. Were not getting out of the business of conducting worldclass research in chemistry or providing a worldclass education in chemistry. Were not looking at what we do were looking at how we do it. Cal says it has the only college of chemistry in the country. But with the budget deficit this big, they have to review every department. Right now were entering a phase of this whole planning process where were going to be working very closely with our faculty, with our students, with our staff. Nobodys been given a specific heads up. That online petition we were talk about has topped 4,000 signatures. It will soon be presented to the chancellor. The University Says they expect to implement some of the cost cutting measures starting at the end of this school year. Not certain which city has the oldest rainbow crosswalk but we know where the newest one is. San jose mayor sam liccardo led this procession on the crosswalk over alameda.

A bay area teen says she was forced into dreadful Living Conditions at fa sill tis that are supposed to protect kids. Coming up our investigation into why abused and neglected children are being victimized all over again. Right now at 6 30, they are children seeking help. But we discovered theyre being victimized all over again in governmentfunded homes. Were talk about children already victims of abuse and neglect placed in staterun homes, victimized again by the people charged with protecting them. Investigative reporter has spent the last three months looking into the issue. He joins us now. What is the state doing about it . Reporter raj and jess, the state is in the process of trying to overhaul californias Child Welfare system. But that will take years. In the meantime we found examples of children suffering from physical abuse, sexual abuse, even the lack of food. Tonight we investigate why more isnt being done to keep them safe. For most of her life, 16yearold mariah was raised by strangers. How were you treated . Like an animal, basically. Reporter she and her sisters were placed with separate foster families after their father was sent to prison for murder. But mariah was later relocated to a group home, a sort of modernday orphanage funded by the government to care for kids and teens who have been pulled from their families because of abuse or neglect. Mariah says over the years she was shuffled to at least six Different Group homes. There was always a lot more accountability in foster homes. You had more of a family structure. Whereas in group homes its just its kind of like a warehouse for children. Did the staff there ever get physical with you . Yes. Did it ever leave a mark . Were your injured . Ive had twisted ankles, bruises all over, scratches all the time. Reporter at one group home, mariah says she was given daily doses of psychotropic drugs to unnecessarily subdue her. We confirmed that once mariah was transferred to another group home, the staff there took her completely off the meds, saying she didnt need it. How did the medications make you feel . Tired all the time. How else did it change your personality . It basically took it away. Reporter there are 166 group homes across the bay area that can house anywhere from four to over 100 children. We discovered that over the past five years there have been 815 violations at Bay Area Group homes that posed an immediate risk to children. According to data we obtained from the California Department of social services. To find out what those kids and teens had to endure, we obtained hundreds of pages of inspection reports from the state. What we discovered were serious and disturbing allegations. The government inspectors determined were true. Reporter the group home employee sexually abused a child. Staff did drugs with a child. An employee brought a loaded gun into a group home. And there were several violations over a lack of food for children. At one group home, staff admitted to locking away food as a discipline method. Investigators also found cases of delayed medical treatment. In one example, staff failed to provide medical attention to a child after a seizure. At the same group home, a child was injured, resulting in two broken bones. But the facility did not report the injury. That home was also cited for using behavior modifying drugs as punishment. After acting out, one child was given benadryl on at least 30 documented occasions, which can cause drowsiness. The state even found a group home employee physically abusing a child and using an unnamed object like a whip. And all of these group homes are still open. Is the system failing children right now . Yes. Yes. Thats the point. Reporter we showed our findings to california Assemblyman Mark Stone of monterey, whos fighting for a complete overhaul of the states Child Welfare system. When you look at all of the negative outcomes for the foster care population, the lack of the number of kids going into higher education, just the absolute lack of success, thats the danger that the system puts the kids into. Reporter stone recently got legislation passed to eliminate group homes in california by 2021. Theyd be replaced with shortterm residential fa sill tis which would provide housing and medical services to the most at risk children in hopes they could be transferred to foster homes after about six months. If theres severe trauma issue theyll go into shortterm treatment center. Reporter there are about 3700 children in group homes across california. Most are between the ages of 6 and 17, and many are there because there just arent enough foster families willing to take them in. So to close down all the group homes, counties across the state would need to recruit more foster families than they ever have and do a better job of finding family members of those children who are willing to raise them. If theres not enough foster families, we may need to have some group homes. But i tell you, i will be one of them hoping that the department of social services will look at that very skeptically. Reporter the state department of social services is in charge of licensing and inspecting homes. The Agency Spokesperson Michael Weston told us he would be the only person available. We have quality providers out there. When they care for children in the structure we have, those childrens needs can be met. But if you have some group homes that are abusing children, that arent giving them enough food, arent kids being put in danger . In those cases the department has the tools to deal with that. Reporter weston said that can include meeting with the group home to discuss improvements, putting them on probation or even shutting them down. Weston defended that process repeatedly. And the department has a process. Theres a process for dealing with that. Its an administrative process that does take time but it is effective. But if these kids are getting hurt in the meantime, can you honestly say thats happening fast enough . Well, the department has a process for dealing with that. Reporter weston eventually admitted that process isnt quick. Its a very long process. In order to investigate and close a facility from start to finish. Reporter mariah is now out of the group home system and living west her mom. Shes also working at a Nonprofit Group thats been advocating for Child Welfare reform for the past two decades. Mariah says if changing the system will take years, the state needs to do more to ensure children like her are protected in the meantime. Is there enough accountability right now for group homes . No. And i dont think there ever will be. Reporter we discovered the state doesnt shut down group homes very often. Last year, six were closed. But the state says it can always force Group Home Staff to be removed if they pose a danger. Right now you can log onto nbcbayarea. Com to see violation totals for every group home in our area. You can also find out which homes have been cited the most and for what reasons. Jess . Okay. Thank you very much, bigad. Very insightful story.

Well meet the stanford student who shared the stage with lady gaga at the oscars. You dont know how i feel a bay area woman got the chance of a lifetime. She shared the stage with lady gaga at the oscars a few nights ago. Jackie lin is a junior at stanford and a victim of sexual abuse. She stood next to the superstar with 49 other people, including two women from berkeley.

Now these photos were posted on facebook. Thats lin with Vice President joe biden backstage at the oscars, and a group shot of all the survivors posing with lady gaga.

When his rehab is over valentine will live on her farm with some other horses. A happy ending to the story of valentine. Very cute. Sweet colt. Jeff rainieri is with us now. Here comes the rain. It sounds nice to say that. I know. The quiet before the storm today. We did have some sunshine but now the clouds are rolling in you can see a little bit of drizzle here on our San Bruno Mountain camera toward San Francisco. Were tracking when the heaviest rain is expected to hit. Ill have details in just a few minutes. Turning to decision 2016 now, neurosurgeon ben carson briefly led the republican president ial field but now he has stopped campaigning. Carson who ran as a washington outsider issued a Statement Today saying he does not see a quote political path forward and wont join tomorrows gop debate. Carson has not formally suspended his campaign but says hell have more to say about his plans on friday. Donald trump was the big winner on supertuesday, proving to the establishment that he is a force to be reckoned with. However, there are Many Republican leaders who are still trying to derail trump. Can he be stopped . Heres nbc bay area sam brock with tonights reality check. Reporter the trump train is officially roaring full tilt after banking in seven more states on supertuesday. Can anything derail his track to the nomination . Is it fair to say that the Republican Party is ready to pull out all of the stops to try to take out trump . Is there a Nuclear Option within the Republican Party for stopping trump . I think yes, there is a Nuclear Option. Which is try to deny him 1237 delegates the number he needs to win on the first ballot in cleveland. Reporter bill whalen is talking about a game of delegate keepaway. Trump only has about a quarter of the pledged delegates he needs to seal up a nomination. For the candidates who have not yet won a state, who have not racked up significant delegates. Reporter the prevailing republican strategy is to consolidate the field, forcing trump to go headtohead with either ted cruz or marco rubio. Except whalen explains that polling shows that that would backfire. And they posed hypotheticals or trump versus rubio and trump versus cruz. Trump beat rubio by 11 points, cruz 13 points. The narrative of trump loses in a headtohead to either of those two doesnt necessarily pan out. Reporter if republicans want to delay until cleveland, keep this in mind. March 15th is the real supertuesday. Thats when florida and ohio vote. So in new jersey on june 7th and that three winner take all states. And if trump takes all three, its game over. The reality is rubio and cruz need to stay in the race and hope that one can carry a crucial winner take all primary. I am a unifier. Reporter or else it will be Donald Trump Holding the trump card. For reality check, im sam brock. Thank you, sam. You can watch sam, laura, cary and mike on our morning newscast every morning 4 30 a. M. Great way to start your day. Lets turn things over to jeff. Lets talk about these storms that are moving in a couch hours from now. We are expecting the first rain drops once we hit about 11 00 tonight in the north bay. Across san jose on our Sky Camera Network cloud cover beginning to increase. Currently 61 degrees. Tomorrow morning everyone expecting a chance here at scattered rain for the north bay. 52 to start. San francisco 55. For the peninsula 54 and the south bay at 52. On the future cast youll be able to see for tonight once again as we mentioned we are expecting that rain to begin to move down to marin, napa and sonoma counties. Into the early overnight hours youll see its still hard here for that rainfall to get down toward san jose. Its going to take some time, but we think throughout the morning commute 7 00 to 9 00 in the morning well start to see that rain down here towards the south bay and also for the east bay as well. After this we keep the chance of scattered rain in the forecast through thursday afternoon. And then well continue to see southwesterly flow, this subtropical moisture pushing in on friday morning. That will give us another round of possibly some wet weather for your friday morning commute. Again rain returns for thursday and friday mornings commute. But were really still focused in on the weekend. That is for saturday. Thats when it looks like our strongest storm will arrive over the next four days. By 1 00 you can see some real heavy bulls eyes here. The reds and also the oranges. Thats some intense heavy downpours that are likely up in the northern california. Eventually by 9 00 at night on saturday, that bulls eye translates here across the bay area. And this is when we expect the heaviest rainfall on saturday evening. Overall rainfall totals have not changed from the past couple of days. Weve been showing you them each and every day. Youre going to be able to see here were good for at least 1. 5 inches for the greater bay area. San mateo, San Francisco counties. Then theres two particular spots you want to watch out for heavier rainfall with the southwesterly flow. The way that rains going to be moving in, a lot of them mountains at the Higher Elevations here will be able to squeeze out additional moisture. The Santa Cruz Mountains and towards the north bay mountains. We could be looking at 2. 5 and plus inches. Again thats our fourday rain outlook with the highest chance of any accumulations happening on this saturday. So lets take you to the microclimate forecast as we head throughout thursday. Besides a chance or scattered rain well see temperatures cooling off 5 to about 8 degrees. Thats going to put san jose at 67 degrees. San mateo 63, San Francisco also the 60s. Carbon copy on the temperatures for the north bay east bay and trivalley. 60s across the board here for the north bay, the east bay and trivalley as well. Keep the jacket handy and also the umbrella. As we sum up your rain outlook, once again rainfall returns thursday and also friday morning. Then the heavier rainfall arrives by saturday evening. And very very early on sunday. Now, with this storm system i do have a look here at some of the impacts. Were not looking at major river flooding but if you have creeks, rivers or streams behind your house you want to watch those closely this weekend. Winds will gust 20 to 50 miles per hour. So i think that wind may give us some minor Power Outages this weekend and possibly take down some trees but well be here to monitor that. Thank you, jeff. We have baseball highlights.
