A new state law aimed at putting the free back in Free Education could come at a cost. Because right now 99s not really clear where the money for much needed classroom materials is supposed to be coming from. Len ramirez has more. Reporter it is causing a lot of confusion because the state budget doesnt cover everything the students want or what the Teachers Want to provide. Students in san jose are completing their art project and using expensive art supplies that the district doesnt pay for. Because of a new state law students cannot be charged a fee or be required to bring supplies trouble makers home. But the supplies have to come from somewhere says this art teacher. This year we only had 500 for the School Year Compared to other schools. Yesterday i bought color pencils for my art 2 class. Just on that i spent 85. Which he charged to his personal credit card and hopes for reimbursement. I want to make sure we are giving the kids an equal chance. Thats why i will dip into my pocket. The law is the result of an American Civil Liberties lawsuit and is designed to insure that free Public Education remains free. I think clxxv 1575 is a good law. If Public Education is not free, it puts students with less means at a greater disadvantage. When you factor in enrichment activities ited as to it. The problem real is california is 49th in spending per pupil and a lot of these programs have been dismantled over the years but they are important to the community. One thing teachers dont want is the law to compromise the level of education for everybody. It has forced eachers to try to raise funds so they can support high quality education instead of making compromises. Even though teachers are willing to do it. I dont want them to have sub par materials. Their pockets are got deep enough for the need.

I just female this is an unfortunate cycle taco bell seems to be escalating right now. Public defender peter keen. I think over the last 40 years officer involvement with criminals become much more violent. Keen was also Police Commissioner who presided in officer disciplinary hearing and remains the Police Killings on too many violence and drugs. Now they will deal with crack and meth, things that make people crazy. Also there is this more general availability of guns as a nationwide problem which we know. Officers argue part of their cob is to use lethal force if threatened, but they say they primarily depend on their training.
