response and the pipeline owners don't want to speculate. was a ship's anchor. instead they're leaving the cars up to the separate investigative team. obviously the pipeline has been displaced. >> it is a 16 inch steel pipeline that happens, they can and covered in and ensure and for to be moved a 105 feet is. >> not common. coast guard officials say they fall the standing operating procedure friday night with the national response center alerted them of an unknown sheen in the waters off huntington beach. they say such jean reports are not uncommon. >> and we made an initial call to the reporting party to get additional information to quantify that sheen. there was not additional information to be able to quantify or characterize that change. >> coast guard officials received another report from noaa and the wee hours saturday, but because sheen is hard to detect in the dark. they waited until first light. then teams like california fish and wildlife. the orange county sheriff and the coast guard set out to locate the sheen about 2 hours into the search saturday morning. they began to detect oil and that is when a full-scale mobilization effort began because we received a national response center report submitted by the responsible party. this oil disaster has renewed calls by news them to ban drilling off our coast it's time once and for all. >> to disabuse ourselves that this has to be part of our future. this is part of our past. >> well, that was mary beth mcdade reporting the north bay congressman jared huffman and california sen dianne feinstein introduced a bill that would ban drilling off the coast of california. right now. fossil fuel jobs. literally outnumbered 5 to one. versus clean energy jobs in the state of california. this does not have to be part of our future. while live rescue crews are continuing to search for animals that have been impacted by the oil spill for now all trained volunteers are being used. the public is urged to stay away from the spill site and experts say it's just too early to know how many animals may have been killed or injured. well, switching gears, a patient with severe depression is now finding relief with an experimental brain implant. a ter years of suffering researchers at ucsf say the device was originally developed to help people with epilepsy. instead, the team calibrated to detect signals

matthews. the school board will have to cut 13% from its budget in 2022 23. >> in order to meet the budget requirements. state superintendent tony thurmond would also have to review any labor agreements. also until a plan for a balanced budget is in place. the district would implement hiring freezes and stop discretionary spending during a special meeting tuesday night. state leaders said a complete takeover of the district could be on the way if not enough is done to fix the mess. so hopefully this is a reality check. >> for for those individuals. it's a few folks making really important decisions to wake up and in start realizing the desperate need that that our school sites have and work together in order to build up the confidence of the public, which has been very supportive of our public schools in the district has faced declining enrollment for a number of years. >> laura now questions why the district didn't do enough to go after billions of dollars
