5:04 am
someone. governor brown just signed that new law. it's a move that comes after a secret grand jury in ferguson, missouri decided not to bring charges against the officer who killed michael brown. the lack of charges sparked riots across the country, as protesters demanded more transparency. so far, mixed feelings about the governor's historic decision. >> as it stands now, district attorneys are allowed to directly file the actions that they think can be supported by the evidence. i'm not sure that this is really anything other than window dressing and kind of a political move. >> what they have done by passing this bill and the governor signing it is doing something concrete in saying secrecy has no place in the criminal justice system. >> that new law goes into effect starting next year. more details, governor brown has signed a bill making it clear that taking pictures of police or videotaping officers is perfectly legal. you may recall the high-profile case from april, u.s. marshall

supplies and rushing around to make sure everything was in order, we know that many school districts were doing the very same thing. there appears to be a bit of a teacher shortage, as we head into the school year, and there enough students to fill the classes but there aren't enough teachers. 200 new teachers here hired in san jose unified school district but not enough. as of yesterday, still 12 vacancies here at sjusd, according to the "mercury news." that is a small percentage of the 1,700 teachers that the district needs and mostly has. the rub might be there is increasing demand for the outstanding teachers, there are positions still open in other school districts and there are fewer people getting their teaching credentials. for now, students could find larger classrooms for the first couple weeks of school. i know at our school, we are seeing more combination classes, perhaps because of the teacher shortage, or could be part of the new strategy. so we'll have to wait and see how to all shakes out.
