over tonight during a fight over flying the pride flag at school. what has become an educational culture war across the country now finds its way into a tiny east bay town. good evening. >> i'm ama daetz and i am julian glover. the sunol glen unified school district encompasses a single k through eight school, but tonight it was supercharged with a whole lot of tension. >> yeah, it really was. now, the district voted to ban any flag, any flag from being flown on its campus besides the us and california state flags. >> it's a big issue at that school. abc7 news reporter tim johns has been at that meeting

all night and shows us how this debate is dividing that small community. >> we apologize. we do not have that for you right now. so we will get back to that in just a moment. for now, though, we want to tell you that building a better bay area is a key part of our mission here at abc7. and tonight there are two new initiatives to combat retail theft and clean up san francisco's landmark mall. now we're breaking down both plans and why it could be months before we find out if the tactics work. >> so first, let's talk about cutting down on organized retail crime. governor gavin newsom announcing today that the state will spend more than $267 million to 55 cities, the largest ever single investment in california history. that money would go toward hiring more police, leading to more rest and securing more felony prosecutions. sheriffs and police departments across the state could be awarded up to $23.6 million each. it includes all of these bay area regions. you see here on this map from

san jose to san francisco to santa rosa, several district attorneys offices could also receive some of that funding. it's all a part of the governor's real public safety plan and now to san francisco's landmark mall. >> tonight, a retailer in the mall formerly known as the westfield san francisco center, has filed a lawsuit against the former owners. >> the company behind american eagle is alleging mismatch management and letting crime run rampant. abc7 news reporter joe stone has the story. >> the mall operator, westfield is no longer running san francisco's downtown mall, but now one retail store in that mall. america an eagle is saying not so fast. a retail west, the group that owns american eagle has filed a lawsuit against the owners of the mall. former known as westfield san francisco center, saying they are to blame for problems their store has encountered. i think what american eagle's end game here is to say that we want out of our lease. that's legal analyst steven clark. after analyzing

this complaint, it claims that between may of 2022 and may of 2023, there were more than 100 security incidents at this american eagle, san francisco location. quote, amid an eagle, employees have suffered much multiple physical attacks and assaults. in one instance, a patron even threatened american eagle staff with a machete. clark says this case has huge implications for other major cities. >> if american eagle is allowed out of its lease based on the crime, the violence, the shoplifting and the other problems at the mall, i think you'll see a lot of other retailers looking at this as a tool to say we want out as well . >> reporter laura waxman was first to break news of the lawsuit in the san francisco business times. >> this lawsuit is interesting because now we have a retailer inside of westfield, one of the big remaining ones, saying, hey, wait a minute, you guys didn't take care of some of the conditions inside of the mall when you could have. >> the complaint argues that

westfield must be held accountable for the damage caused by its failures and broken promises going on to say that westfield failed to maintain common areas of the mall like they were obligated to do in their ten year lease that was signed in 2017. calling it a breach of contract. while there is no mention of wanting to break their contract, clark believes it could come to that. >> certainly american eagle doesn't want to be the last retail tenant at the mall. that could be a disaster financially. so i think because nordstrom's left and others have left, i think that's what american eagle is looking at, saying we don't want to wait till 20, 28 to leave. we want to leave now. >> it is important to note that within this complaint there is a request for monetary compensation for american eagle. no specific number was given, though. i did reach out to american eagle representatives who told me they would not be commenting on the matter. i also reached out to westfield reps

who told me westfield is declining to comment because we have not been served. the lawsuit. j.r. stone, abc seven news. all right, j.r. thank you. >> now we want to get you back to that contentious school board meeting over in the small town of sunol. >> yeah, that's just south of pleasanton. the school district there just voted to ban pride flags and it got quite heated. >> it did. abc seven news reporter tim johns was at the meeting all night. he shows us how the debate is dividing that community. >> yeah, the school board meeting was extremely heated, so much so that they actually closed it down to the public because so many people were interrupting and screaming over each other. and it wasn't just people in the audience either. at one point, the superintendent of the district was fighting with the president of the school board right in front of the crowd. dozens of people from both sides packed the small meeting room hall on tuesday. while the resolution passed, technically states that the district can only fly the us and california flags on their campus. much of the debate has stemmed around the lgbtq pride flag. the topic has divided many in the community, which was

evident at the meeting under my superintendent support. >> you're saying you cannot speaking on you're a secretary to the board. >> this is the board's meeting. we're going to move along with the agenda items for order. why not. what is why should why is there an issue with that? move on to divide us? because we have protocol. we have a way that we run our ship and there's protocol. oh, there's not an order. to nobody >> the snow glen district has flown the pride flag on its campus in the past. >> many of those opposed to this new rule say being able to fly flags like the pride flag demonstrates that the district remains an open and inclusive place for all. several people also tell us they believe the resolution will have detrimental impacts on the district's lgbtq students and community. for many kids, the only safe and welcoming and affirming place they have is their school. >> and when we see school board

members that don't acknowledge that and actively push policies against that, it harms gay kids, it harms gay families. >> others, though, disagree. they think the us flag is inclusive of everyone and said they thought this entire process was being politicized. others say they think that without this resolution, certain flags are favored over others. >> i don't agree with the lifestyle, but at the same time i don't agree. having it in the schools and being pushed down everybody's throat because nobody's doing their lifestyles down everyone's throat. now, one thing that's important to note is that many people on both sides of this issue believe that even though this is a small district with less than 300 students, they think that this decision will have wider ramifications. >> these are discussions that are being held in school districts around the us. certainly something that will continue to come up many believe, in sunol. tim johns, abc seven news in san francisco. >> pedestrian safety advocates returned to the intersection at fourth in king streets, where a

four year old girl was killed. four weeks ago. the group walk sf set up this memorial here featuring a ghost stroller much like the ghost bikes. you've seen the memorial eyes cyclists killed by cars. police say 71 year old karen cartagena hit and killed that girl who was being pushed in a stroller last month. she was in court yesterday pleading not guilty to vehicular manslaughter. >> we want to make sure people do not forget this happened and we especially don't want our city leaders to forget what happened because we need them to fix our deadly intersection. >> as city crews have since removed one turn lane on fourth street to improve the intersection in. but advocates are calling for more, including a pedestrian only phase of the turn signal. there >> we sat down today with alameda county's district attorney, pamela price. our conversation was wide ranging both on what she has done and what she still wants to accomplish. >> it's an adventure. it's a great adventure. we came into a situation that was highly unstable, so ill prepared for

the change that was about to come. so it's a transition. good morning. >> price is facing criticism for her stance on crime, and there is an effort to recall her just nine months into the job, she'd like to remind people that reforming the criminal justice system was the focal point of her campaign. >> if you go today to alameda county juvenile hall, you will only find black and brown children there. and there's a lot of reasons for that. but one of the challenges that i have taken on and that i believe i was elected to take on as district attorney is to eradicate the racial disparities . >> and we want to be sure you have the ability to hear the entire conversation. so we are posting the in-depth one on one on abc7 news.com and the abc7 news bay area app. >> all right, let's get you a quick jump on how that wednesday weather is shaping up. abc7 news meteorologist sandy patel is here with our 24 hour accuweather forecast. sandhya yeah, and julian, it's going to be a mini up for the bay and

the local newspaper the next day. >> on tuesday, the board voted 4 to 1 to purchase the property. supervisor david canepa was the only no vote. it's the sort of imposition of us making a decision for a city cannibas concern is for the 35 hotel workers and staff at the connected sushi restaurant. these are housekeepers. >> these are people who work at the front desk. these are people who work in the in the restaurant. >> some of the main concerns from residents were public safety, loss of jobs and the financial loss for the city. the existing hotel garners hundreds of thousands of dollars from tax revenue every year. supervisor noelia corzo felt like those concerns were addressed in the vote, and she brings personal experience to her decision. >> for me personally, as someone who experienced homelessness s with my family as a child in our county, that is part of the lens that i see the world through. there were compromises made and there was support given and i felt like we got to a really good place for some millbrae

residents disappointed with tuesday's decision, they say it's not about housing the homeless, it's about the process. >> unfortunately, due to today's proceedings, there just was a lack of transparency and i really feel that they burned the bridge of trust with the city. >> that's a good citizen. will welcome her neighbors, but we will also make sure the council members that decided on this today, they are fully accountable for this in millbrae lauren martinez, abc seven news. >> a junior college track and field coach accused of human trafficking in the east bay. the allegations tonight. >> check that medicine cabinet and fda panel says a key ingredient in many of our popular cold medicines doesn't work. we break that down. plus this. >> we're excited to talk about how we're taking apple watch and iphone even further. >> do you know the drill? there's an all new lineup of apple products. the phone, the watch and the charger. we got watch and the charger. we got our hands having triplets is... -amazing -expensive. so, we switched to the bargain detergent,

those products, such as sudafed, are available without a prescription. but are stored behind the counter. experts say the fda's findings on phenylephrine could have a huge impact. >> it's pretty major because there's not a lot of times where we see medications get pulled off the shelves, especially one that's been around since 1960. >> so what should you do the next time you have a stuffy nose? dr. chacon says reach for a nasal spray containing phenylephrine or you can try allergy meds with antihistamines that can help dry out your nose. >> loratadine or the cetirizine. those ones are able to help decongest the nose as well. >> denise dador, abc7 news. >> so where do we go from here? the fda says several steps would need to be taken before any medications are actually removed from store shelves and many don't purge your medicine cabinet just yet. many products have multiple active ingredients, so those medications will still treat other cold symptoms like those headaches or coughs tonight. >> walgreens says appointments are now open for the new covid vaccine. it comes just one day
