when it comes to african-american students. christie, good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you, jon. that's right, big changes on the way. the department of education launched an investigation in may into oakland public schools discipline policies and suspension rate and found that the zero tolerance approach to discipline may be violating some students' civil rights here in oakland of the some of the numbers are quite startling when you look at the suspension rates, considering that oakland public schools have about 32% of their students are black but they make up about 63% of all the students that are suspended and sent home. now, the office of civil rights looked into whether black students may be treated more harshly than white students when it comes to discipline. the action plan includes a number of changes over the next five years. the district will move toward restorative discipline instead of their zero tolerance policy. instead of a select 11 schools,

this will roll out at 38 of its 86 schools, including all middle and high schools. the top goal here is to reduce the number of out of school suspensions for all students, but as well as the suspensions for african-american and special ed students. it will also reduce what they're calling defiance-related suspensions. some civil rights advocates said on its own, it sounded rather vague. reporting live in oakland, christie smith, "today in the bay." new this morning, highway 101 in redwood city back open after a deadly accident overnight. officers arrived just north of marsh road after midnight when there were reports of a road hazard. when they arrived, they found a car blocking a lane with no lights on and a body was in the road. officers closed three lanes of northbound 101 for more than two hours while they collected evidence. they're still trying to determine if it was a hit and run or a solo vehicle accident. san jose leaders are now turning a tragic accident into a lasting memorial.

today a pedestrian bridge will open across monterey road near blossom hill road near the stretch of train track where a toddler was killed back in 2005. 2-year-old alexander was trying to follow his baby-sitter across the tracks when he was hit by an amtrak train. now, coming up at 6:30, bob redell will show us that bridge and how it will now help pedestrians safely across the tracks. mental health counselors will be on campus at albany middle school this morning to talk to students about a popular teacher who was arrested wednesday morning. last night about 100 parents packed the library at albany middle school to find out more about the arrest of james izumizaki who taught sixth grade and gym. he was arrested at his albany home on wednesday morning on suspicion of a lewd act with a child under 14. the superintendent addressed the crowd at a parent meeting last night. >> we're in a very delicate

situation of an arrest being made, an allegation being made, but no charges as yet, so you have to be very careful when you talk to kids and when you talk to parents. >> a substitute will teach his classes today. a mother stands accused of stealing groceries and leaving her daughter behind to face the cops. today the daughter is safe but the mom is still on the run. marla tellez has more on what happened and who police are looking for. >> reporter: morgan hill police want you to take a good look at marcy keelin. she's been on the run more than a week now of the investigators say first she used her 10-year-old daughter as a partner in crime. then she left that little girl at the scene of a crime. this happened at the safeway in morgan hill. police say the 38-year-old mother filled a cart full of

groceries, about $150 worth, and then had her daughter wait for her at the store's front door while she got the getaway car. officers say once keelin saw that employees had confronted her daughter, she drove off. ended up calling her daughter's cell phone. when an officer answered detectives say keelin refused to come back. the ten-year-old girl is now staying with her grandmother and police say after interviewing the girl, it's clear she was just doing what her mom told her to do. >> she revealed she knew it was wrong but she didn't want to disappoint her mom either. >> reporter: marcy keelin is wanted on burglary and contributing to the delinquency of a minor. be on the lookout for her green ford explorer with wyoming license plate 4-11118. police worry keelin is heading back to wyoming where she currently lives. coming up about 6:45, hear from keelin's mom who is now taking

care of her 10-year-old granddaughter. she sheds some light on keelin's state of mind. >> can't mamg what it was. thank you very much. it's 6:06. b.a.r.t. is teaming up with uc berkeley to make your ride safer. the transit system has tapped into berkeley's network of seismic recording equipment. uc berkeley has sensors in more than 200 locations all over california, and the b.a.r.t. system will react to movement, slowing down or stopping trains, depending on the seismic severity. a uc berkeley seismologist says b.a.r.t. would have had 24 seconds after the big quake to slow down or stop on the tracks. today b.a.r.t. is actually clearing the way to silicon valley. the mission warren area of southern fremont getting a $2 billion makeover to prepare for the b.a.r.t. extension to the south bay. crews will widen mission boulevard to warren springs boulevard and new on and off-ramps will be built to allow trains to pass overhead. that work should wrap up by spring of 2015.

based on what christina loren is telling us, you should be unwrapping for this weekend. going to be a scorcher outside. >> take off the scarf, take off the gloves, you won't need them. maybe you'll need the beach ball, the sunscreen and the tankini. it's going to be hot this weekend. are those still in style? i don't think so. temperatures this morning are cool out there. i want to start with the live picture of the golden gate bridge. we do have some fog starting to settle at the surface. we're expecting the fog to be at its most widespread point at about 8:00. 48 degrees, cool and crisp this morning up in santa rosa and novato. we're at 60 in sunnyvale and close to 60 in concord and livermore. what's happening today is we're getting a little bit stronger onshore flow. as you can see most of the winds are coming out of the west this morning. so that shows you that the cool ocean air is going to pump inland for today but this is the last day. as we head through tomorrow, offshore flow pushes that marine layer way out to sea and we get

downright hot so you're not going to see a whole lot of temperature separation between oakland and san jose. 90 inland, 76 bayside, 69 at the coast. we'll take you to the forecast. let's take a look at your drive first with mike. >> look at this over my shoulder, a bright stream of lights, this is north 280 coming toward 880/17. you see it's not that dramatic because there's good spacing between these cars. so that's the reason why on my maps you see 280 north past 880 just above where it says campbell, that's green. it's starting to slow approaching tully northbound 101. there's your burst of traffic starting just about this time every friday. we see 680 and 880 speeds coming down into the 50s. also even slower out of the altamont pass. west 580 to livermore and through to the dublin interchange, your typical build as you pass by the isabel interchange and toward 680. live look outside shows you the

bib bay bridge. we should see metering lights in 10 to 15 minute back to you. the time is 6:09. coming up, from political prisoner to peace prize winner. the historic visit that once seemed impossible finally becomes a reality as a crusade for peace touches down right here in the bay area. plus we now know why woz wants to become an australian citizen. take a look outside overlooking san jose this morning. waiting for the sun's arrival as well as the heat it is going to bring with it. we're keeping an eye on your weekend forecast. 6:09.

welcome back, everybody. friday morning, a lye look over san jose. that is actually san jose city college. the sun set to come up and christina loren says brace yourself, it's going to be hot. >> the heat is coming with it. >> 6:11 right now.

welcome. here's a check of the day's top stories. the oakland school board is cutting a deal with the feds to end a civil rights investigation. the board says african-american students receive an unfair majority of suspensions. the board now has a five-year plan in place to ensure students are treated fairly. in morgan hill, police say a mom on the run after trying to steal some groceries from a safeway. officers say the mom actually ran away leaving her daughter behind to deal with the police. the girl is now staying with her grandmother. and construction crews will break ground in south fremont to clear a path for b.a.r.t.'s extension to the south bay. crews will widen mission boulevard all the way to warm springs boulevard. they are also going to build new on and off-ramps and a b.a.r.t. bridge. construction should wrap up in 2015. now on to decision 2012. and this morning we're getting a better idea of how the presidential race is shaping up just days before the first

presidential debate. a new nbc poll shows a tied race in nevada and north carolina where republican candidate mitt romney is just two points behind president obama. but in new hampshire, romney trails by a wider gap, seven points. romney trying to pull ahead by hammering the president on the economy, telling veterans in virginia the national debt is more than just numbers on paper. >> trillion dollar deficits, that debt is owned by somebody. someone holds that. that puts america in a position of economic risk. >> more than half the country has already started early voting. the first presidential debate on wednesday in denver. the newest nobel peace price laureate will be right here in the bay area this weekend. she is a leader who is outspoken and a critic of the myanmar military. this marks her first visit to the u.s. since 1971.

she will be speaking at the san francisco freedom forum this evening. tomorrow she'll address a crowd of about 5,000 at the university of san francisco. while both event are sold out, they're also being streamed online. now reports that apple founder steve wozniak wants to become an australian citizen, scott mcgrew had to find out for himself. >> you met him at the airport. >> reporter: a reporter probably the last thing hematomaed to see but he was grarks, woz aullways is. he just asked we not videotape the conversation. the apple co-founder seen here in file video told me he's spending a lot of money applying for an australian citizenship so that he and his wife can move to new zealand. new zealand and australia have very relaxed rules about that kind of thing, they're part of the same commonwealth. woz says he just really likes new zealand. he said he will keep his american citizenship as well, so

this isn't a tax issue. woz is a fixture in los gatos showing up in the apple lines are zipping down santa cruz avenue on his segway. if he's leaving, he'll be missed. speaking of new zealand, the prime minister has made a formal apology to this man after it was revealed they illegally spied on him. he was arrested in a military-like raid at the request of the united states because of his involvement in a website called mega upload where people tended to store pirated films. brazilian police have released a google executive after google promised to take down a youtube video that a vertebbrazilian ju felt was offensive. those two stories are connected. in both cases you have websites got in trouble for what other

users put online but in this case they held them responsible. >> very interesting. thank you very much, scott. 6:16. a feared ocean predator could soon be getting federal protection. >> regulators are examining whether to add west coast great white sharks to that endangered species list. this coming after four environmental groups filed petitions with the federal national marine fishery service. the petitions claim accidental catches, illegal fishing and pollutants threaten species. research suggesting that as few as 350 great white sharks could be swimming off the coast of the u.s. and mexico. a final decision on this one expected by june. >> and here i was going to say head to the beach because the temperatures are going to be hot. >> he was scared, we saw it in his eyes. he's so good. good morning to you. jon kelley, laura, we are going to be so hot this weekend and,

yeah, you want to make sure you're ready for it, especially for the little ones, because it's going to be hotter than we've seen just about all summer long. 6:17, starting with this live picture of san jose. we do have some clouds out there to cool us off. in fact more so than this time yesterday morning. i've taken your temperatures down a touch from yesterday but even livermore hit 95 degrees yesterday, so down to 90 today. starting with a live look here at the golden gate bridge, you can see you can still actually see the surface and the lights atop the top to your still visible. however, that will not last long, the fog is settling in. 53 in san francisco, 60 in sunnyvale. i wanted to start with your visibilities just to show you these are dropping off. about a quarter of a mile in santa rosa, so deep pockets of fog up there, travel cautiously. 3 miles of visibility in gilroy. the storm system starts to push high pressure right over the bay area the next 48 hours. it really gets hot around here as a result. those winds will pump from land

to sea and warm up along the way, pushing the marine layer way out in the pacific. that means we're going to be near records, even this san francisco. san jose is going to be hot and the hottest place, as per usual, will be the extreme east bay, the interior valleys out there. 90 degrees today in livermore. basically take your city, add an kis additional 5 to 10 degrees for tomorrow and another 3 to 5 degrees on sunday. we max out monday at about 103 degrees. staying hot on tuesday and monday and tuesday we will be talking about records, how many we broke in what cities. wednesday into thursday the storm system arrives so we get cooler, cloudier weather central command showers looking likely in the north bay by friday of next week. let's check your drive. that's a lot to talk about as well. >> the bay bridge toll plaza changed dramatically. we thought another 5 to 10 minutes from now would be the metering lights but they're turned on do you because in the past few minutes an accident

occurred between the toll plaza and the metering lights. it's off to the shoulder but they triggered the lights to slow people down. there's the backup all the way back to the 880 overcrossing. some slowing down the east shore freeway approaching the incline and heading past the toll plaza. here west 80 an earlier accident at university, that one cleared. we might have another incident over on the shoulder. that might be enough to cause more distraction past the racetrack, down toward ashby avenue. there you go for the east bay. another live look further south and we're looking at fremont southbound with the headlights past the truck scales. both directions moving smoothly. a little slowing around eighth street coming toward the san mateo bridge. the south bay, northbound 101 smoothed out but 87 builds and slows up into downtown and a new accident reported at the alameda on-ramp to north 880. one of the two lanes is blocked.

if you use that as your on-ramp you will have some slowing right there at the freeway. back to you. >> thank you very much. if you happen to be a stanford fan just waking up with us and didn't catch last night's game, you might want to sit down, close your eyes and plug your ears. the cardinal was ranked eighth until this, a stunning upset on the road against washington. stanford did have a final chance to win it in the fourth quarter. they go for the victory but it gets picked off. washington wins this one 17-3. after the game, stanford's coach said he wasn't happy with his quarterback's performance. but there's no plans to replace him as the starter. not a good game. oakland a's still trying to clinch the american league wild card spot after a tough loss to the texas rangers last night. the a's lost it 9-7 and are heading home for their final six games. the a's have a two-game lead over the rays and angels to clinch that wild card spot. its giants already have

their ticket punched for the postseason. last night the giants beating up on the diamondbacks, they win 7-3. the giants right now finishing up that season in style on the field and, guess what, in the dugout. how about this? rookie george conto, is he a super hero? a purple bodysuit. how about this one, these guys are putting on the skin-tight looks here ready for halloween a little early. all the lorookies had to sport these suits. it's an annual tradition with the giants. make sure the new guys dress up in goofy outfits. in their brains they're looking and feeling good. 6:21 right now. coming up, fasten the seat belt and unload the wallet. we'll tell you about the newest round of airline fees that are about to take off.

it's the biggest six months that they have had in terms of baggage fees. that's for baggage fees alone, not to mention ticket changes and cancellation fees and things like that. all of this started, of course, back in 2008. four years later, it looks like, jon and laura, they are still piling on the fees. >> i tell you, thank you very much. >> they'll charge you for breathing next. it's 6:26 right now. tonight the streets of san francisco will be filled with bicyclists. critical mass celebrating its 20th anniversary with a special ride. thousands of cyclists expected to meet at justin herman plaza, so expect traffic delays. they started critical mass back in 1992 just to draw attention to bicyclists and to urge motorists to share the road. 6:26 right now. still ahead, closing college campuses to stay open. drastic measures in san francisco's city college crisis coming up just ahead. and the hottest weather of the year on the way, as we head

80 degrees inland at noon, 90 degrees at 4:p.m. you'll also notice a very thick layer of haze above likely sparing the air. what's going to happen is high pressure moves in. ets getting nudged by an approaching storm system. the same system that could bring us showers at the end of next week, the upcoming workweek. however, what's interesting is before we reach that point, high pressure builds in so strong, this system is packing so much energy it's going to bring your temperatures up 15 to 20 degrees from today's highs versus monday. we're talking about 90s today. you can imagine how that pans out. we will show you on that seven-day forecast, help you make those plans outdoors and tell you which cities on the beach will get the best of it. it's also a busy traffic day. usually friday light, mike. >> usually. but we'll be watching areas like highway 92 heading toward half moon bay and the coast. right now we're focusing on 92 with those taillights westbound.

315-foot-long pedestrian bridge that crosses the railroad tracks here at monterey near blossom hill road. the vta, the ones who are running this project, are hoping that the fence that you see are new along with this bridge will keep people from trying to cross these tracks to get over to a nearby shopping center. it's been a very popular shortcut. unfortunately it's also been very dangerous. the final straw, the impetus for this new overcrossing, was the death of a 2-year-old boy almost seven years ago. alexander was struck and killed by an ongoing train at this location. his baby-sitter had left him on one side of the tracks while she went to the other side to retrieve her own child who was in a stroller. alexander had followed her and was run over. the bridge will be named xander's crossing in his honor. his mom expected to speak at this morning's opening ceremony. the bridge was supposed to be finished much sooner but was delayed waiting on funding. the bridge cost $10.5 million.

103 degrees. just to put this into perspective for you, middle of august we hit 105 and that was the hottest reading all year in livermore. we could actually exceed that. i'm not being as bullish as i could be, but next week could be another scenario. soul talk all about that when we meet back here on monday. >> we're looking really nice as far as the flow of traffic. it is friday, but we still have delays. northbound 101, as the haze is in the south bay christina has been talking about, it's not a problem for your visibility, this is, the volume of traffic. the slowdown that it's causing, here's the same area north at 680. it's slow from capital expressway all the way up to 880 and continuing toward the airport. now, this is unusual as well. this is all right for the northbound side but the southbound side of 880 is slow from alameda down toward 280. we had an earlier accident which just cleared from lanes a few minutes ago so there's your slowing on the southbound side. that will clear up but then the burst of traffic on 880 from 280 heading north but the area.

85 and 87 builds. this is your south bay commute kicking in for friday as well. this is palo alto northbound past university shopping center here all the way into the city a smooth drive. low clouds but nothing big as far as visibility for the peninsula. maybe along the coast, though. looking over to the bay bridge and things are backing up here. the metering lights turned on and slow from the berkeley curve so there you go. we'll bend this shot and the low clouds again for the east bay. back to you. 6:50. san jose leaders turning tragedy into hope. today a pedestrian bridge will open near a stretch of train tracks where a toddler was killed back in 2005. bob redell joins us live at that bridge with more on how it will help pedestrians safely cross those tracks. good morning, bob. >> reporter: good morning to you, laura. the idea is that this 315-foot-long pedestrian bridge along with new fencing will keep people off these railroad tracks here along monterey highway near blossom hill road, instead providing them safe passage to a

shopping center. this is a popular shortcut to get to that shopping center. this new bridge, which will be dedicated at 11:00 this morning, will be called xander's crossing in honor of a 2-year-old boy. it was almost seven years ago that alexander was struck and killed by an oncoming train at this location. his baby-sitter had left him on one side of the tracks while she went to the other side to retrieve her own child who was still in a stroller. alexander followed her and was run over. >> this is the greatest example of one life loss being too many. people came together as a community, the city, vta, we came together, got this bridge done. >> reporter: the bridge was supposed to be finished much sooner than now but it was delayed while the project leaders waited on a huge chunk of the funding. it cost roughly $10.5 million. most of that coming from state proposition 1-b. the rest of the money was from

federal and local sources. ribbon-cutting later this morning at 11:00. alexander's mother is supposed to be here to speak. reporting live here in san jose, bob redell, "today in the bay." new this morning, highway 101 in redwood city is back open after a deadly overnight accident. officers arriving on northbound 101 north of marsh road after midnight following reports of a road hazard. now, when they got there, they found a car blocking a lane with no lights on. a body, that's right, a body was out on the road. officers closed three lanes of northbound 101 for more than two hours while they collected evidence. they're still at this hour trying to determine if this was a hit and run or morley a solo accident. 6:52. big changes coming to the oakland unified school district. late last night the board made a deal with the federal government to reduce the number of students it suspends. christie smith joins us live from oakland with details of the agreement and what it will mean for students there. good morning, christie.
