Students of color are receiving harsh disciplines from school so they are the ones receiving the majority of disciplines. The new policy would require school os come up with other ways to deal with students who have behavioral problems. It will take three years to roll out the complete policy. Time is 5 25.

This might change a little later as steve and i will be watching. Especially in the afternoon commute. If you are driving to work this morning, you might escape the rain. But it doesnt look like there will be any escaping according to steve this afternoon. This afternoons commute will not be good. If you dont want to drive in that, you might want to consider transportation. Bay bridge toll plaza is backed up. The winds are not too high but that will also change.

You can see what is left behind me. Firefighters have come in here and cut up this tree. The branch that fell damaged part of the house and two cars that were parked in the driveway. This happened around 3 00 this morning at this house on seventh avenue. There were three people inside at the time. A young man, his mother, and his stepfather. All of them sleeping when suddenly they were woken up by a huge loud noise. What they thought was initially an earthquake. They came outside to find this tree on top of their house and their two cars. Im so thankful. The thing is my parents room is in the back and that tree was coming the branch that was there the heavy part was heading toward there. The city moved it over a little more this way and luckily they did that because otherwise it would have fallen into my parents room. Reporter thankfully most of the damage was done to the roof of the familys carport not the home itself. And the family is telling me this large tree has caused them problems before. It was just two months ago when a smaller branch broke off. And then this morning a much larger branch came crashing down. You can see this home backs right up to the freeway. That is 101 right there. That is the entrance to 101. There is the question of who is responsible for this tree. We did see a cal trans worker out here this morning. He told me he is trying to figure out if this tree that fell this morning is on cal trans property. Live in san bruno alex savidge ktvu channel 2 news. Time is 5 37. Now to our continuing coverage of the california drought. Despite todays rainstorm heading our way now, we are being asked to save water and cut back on water use. Last night the Santa Clara Valley Water District voted to ask its customers to cut back on water use by 20 . Last month they asked for a 10 cut back. The district is also Digging Deeper into ground water supplies. The situation around the state is the worst they have ever seen. I think it gets harder every drought because we already have that low flush toilet. We already have the low flow shower head. Here are the local conservation numbers. The San Francisco Public Utilities commission asked for a 10 reduction in water use. While customers are using less water, official numbers will come out next week. Marins Water District asked for 25 water reduction. East bay mud they asked for a 108 cut back on water use. Usage has east bay mud they asked for east bay mud they asked for a 10 cut back on water use. They want residents to reduce overall water usage by 25 . Starting may 1st, residents will be charged up to 50 for each unit of water that exceeds their budget. Water delivery will also be cut back to large landscape customers. Businesses will not be rationed unless the drought gets worse. Heres an example of how bad the drought has become. Nasa has taken these two photos. Look at both of them.

They communicate by walky talky and the most recent burglary happened on saturday on kenyon avenue. The governor of arizona jan brewer facing more pressure to veto what some are calling an antigay legislation passed by the state legislature. Government nor brewer has until midnight saturday to either veto the bill, sign it, or do nothing and it just becomes law. The bill will allow Business Owners to deny service to gay and lesbian customers on the basis of the Business Owners religious beliefs. Feelings are pretty strong on both sides of the issue. I would hope the governor would step up to the plate and do the right thing and veto this bill now. Not wait until the end of the week. This isnt an issue of discrimination. This is an issue of having peoples values respected. Now the bill was prompted by legal cases against businesses where religious owners denied services to lesbian or gay couples that want to hold a marriage ceremony. San francisco board of supervisors has weighed in on this law. David compos wrote a resolution denouncing the law and calling for jan brewer to veto. The resolution argues the bill provides a quote license to discriminate. Apple, american airlines, delta airlines, yelp, intel, pet smart, at t, and marriott have all come out against that measure in arizona. In a couple hours a large palm tree will be removed from a walnut creek home and transplanted to the foot of the new eastern span of the bay bridge. The crane will remove the 20 foot pond. The homeowner planned to spend 3,000 to have the tree removed because it was going growing too close. They can withstand the somewhat harsh weather and conditions out here. They can stand up to the salt air and the wind and the fog. Once removed, the tree will go to a holding yard in river side so it can be checked for disease. If its given the okay, the walnut creek tree will be one of 22 additional palms planted in the median. Time is 5 42. There is yet a new investigation into a slaughter house in pet law ma.
