there is mixed reaction. lena -- joins us now in dublin. this wasn't a requirement already? lena: the bill would require students, like those at murray elementary school in dublin, to complete a full year of kindergarten before entering first grade. this comes after many families across the state decided to skip the grade during the pandemic, heightening learning gap concerns. if approved, this would not take effect until the 2024-2025 school year. parents would no longer be able to have their child skip kindergarten like they can do now under current state law. it was approved by the senate last night and is heading to the governor's desk next. the goal is to make sure every student is prepared socially and academically before entering elementary school, ensuring all children receive critical

instruction in their early years of learning. according to the national education association, kindergartners that missed 10% or more of school days have a lower academic performance when they reach first grade. they also compare long-term outcomes of children born in states that have mandatory kindergarten compared to states with voluntary kindergarten, and found children that attend kindergarten are more likely to go to college, earn higher wages, and less likely to experience poverty as adults. the bill has received support from the largest school district in the states, the los angeles unified school district, and it is heading to the governor's desk for approval next. we will let you know what happens. live in dublin, lena howland, abc7news. reggie: and a major counteroffensive being launched this morning in ukraine, the country trying to win back areas seized by russia. kumasi: the u.n. inspectors will

and that's the kind of change you notice. hide my skin? not me. serious allergic reactions can occur that can be severe. tell your doctor about new or worsening eye problems such as eye pain or vision changes, including blurred vision, joint aches and pain, or a parasitic infection. don't change or stop asthma medicines without talking to your doctor. when you help heal your skin from within, you can show more with less eczema. talk to your child's eczema specialist about dupixent, a breakthrough eczema treatment. what's the difference between prop 26 and prop 27? 26? not one dime to get people off the streets and into housing 27 generates hundreds of million to help solve homelessness. the choice is clear yes on prop 27.

what's the difference between prop 26 and prop 27? 26 is a money grab that doesn't guarantee a cent for non-gaming tribes. 27 requires 15% of all state revenues go to non-gaming tribes. the choice is clear. yes, on 27. kumasi: california is poised to spend $41 million to fight the spread of monkeypox as part of an emergency spending package approved i governor newsom and state legislators.

monday itself, we are tracking dangerous heat. many cities getting close to 110 degrees by monday afternoon. the next seven days for you, sunny skies today and the warming trend gets underway late in the week. we keep our eyes on the holiday weekend saturday, sunday and monday. we track temperatures above 100 degrees in your hottest cities. guys? reggie: good morning america is coming up at 7:00 on abc seven. kumasi: ginger zee has a look at what's ahead. ginger: coming up, we are following the latest on the water emergency in jackson, mississippi. this is a new water emergency. their system is on the brink of collapsing, and this time the water crisis was triggered by all that flooding. we will be looking at the rivers and have to talk about deadly storms that moved across the great lakes. if any of you are traveling to new york this afternoon or evening, you will want to pay attention to that.

friends of matthew shapiro know all too well. he was shot and killed in 2021, but his case remains unsolved. few answers and plenty of pain for one of his closest friends, janel. >> it's everywhere. it's been everywhere my whole life, but now it is really everywhere. you think once it happens to somebody -- but it is different. >> the financial factors of gun violence are striking. a report by the santa clara department of public health find the cost of firearm violence in the county was one point $2 billion annually from 2016 to 2020. 72 point 5 million falling on county and city sectors. dr. sarah cody says gun violence is a symptom of social ills and the public health department will detail prevention strategies tomorrow at the county board of supervisors meeting. >> our recommendations include a host of interrelated strategies,

and that's everything from strategies involving policy, right down the strategies at the individual community and neighborhood level. >> these leaders believe gun violence is treatable, and the board of supervisors will take action on these recommendations to prevent further loss. >> something needs to be done, because lives are being lost and families are being destroyed. >> i believe if we can do that, we will fundamentally see a change in the health and well-being of people in our community. kumasi: a san francisco housing complex has hired security guards after four people brutally attacked a 70-year-old woman. in response, building management tells us they have hired g uards seven days a week. the suspects have been arrested.

for decades, i've worked at the intersection of domestic violence and homelessness. so when prop 27 promised solutions to homelessness, i took a good, hard look.

it's not a solution. 90% of the money goes to the out-of-state corporations who wrote it. very little is left for the homeless. don't let corporations exploit homelessness to pad their profits. vote no on 27. kumasi: two san francisco paramedics were left -- reggie: i will take it from here. a man attacked them with a wooden stake and stole the

ambulance they were in. this is below the highway 101 overpass -- that's not where it ended, though. the windshield got cracked and police say the suspect took the ambulance on a joyride, and ended up ditching the ambulance behind the best buy. the firefighters union says crewmembers are frequently attacked and they are demanding the city dues on thing to stop this. a letter from mayor london breed's office says it takes matters like this seriously. a plan that would give roughly half a million fast food workers across the state more power and protection has cleared a significant hurdle in sacramento. the measure has been approved, creating a fast food council made up of workers, employers, and state officials. the council would set minimum standards for wages and working conditions in california. the legislation now moves on to the state assembly for final action before lawmakers adjourned wednesday. a senate member has already passed a broader version of that bill.
