>> reporter: good morning to you, marcus. such a big issue that you got the contra costa county discussing this issue later today. but we're going to keep our eyes on the santa clara water district, where they'll take a vote to decide how much funds they'll allocate and that will mean the water bill could increase for parts of the south bay but that won't happen until decades down the road. here's how's it's going to work. there's going to be a vote taking place with the santa clara county water district. according to a staff memo, bills could go up as much as $10 a month by 2033. that's if the board votes tonight to allocate $200 million to fund this twin tunnels project. brown supported it for years, considered a legacy project, it would convert pafrt to the largest part of the area and southern california.

now first reported by the san jose mercury news the district is taking this vote not too long after the california water commission recommended a $485 million in funding for the pacheco pass project. if that sounds familiar, it would fund a new dam in the area, that the district has been seeking for quite some time. critics of this twin tunnels call the timing of tonight's vote a bit suspicious but folks in the water district say that insufficieinuatioufficieninuatis expected to take place at 5:00 p.m. pete suratos, for "today in the bay." >> important to many. thanks, pete. new for you, all oakland school children are going to have access to clean drinking water thanks to a city council vote. you may recall the story last summer in oakland, we told you about it. the district discovered elevated lead levels at several campuses. city council is installing hydration stations at all 110 schools just in time for next

fall. perhaps ironically most of the money will come from oakland's new sugary drinks tax. one mayoral candidate wants to take the community college plan a step further, how about two free years of free education? plans to push that today on the steps of san francisco university. his plan would hoonly apply sf graduates who then go on to earn a bachelor's degree. >> today is day two of the facebook developer conference, all of the chatter about the new dating feature and ongoing cambrid cambridge analytica scandal. it was a big day yesterday. >> reporter: it was a very big day and before you got to the fun stuff, the dating apps and enhanced instagram stories and what not, mark zuckerberg did take on the issue of privacy and user data head on. here's a little bit of video from that key note speech where

zuckerberg promised to reearn the trust of users and review the app process to make sure they are considering privacy and safety of user as well. privacy was at the forefront but the facebook ceo announced a dating feature and also enhanced sharing options for facebook ininstagram stories. some of the topics on tap, there are 45 sessions. some of them dedicated to facebook login, creating stronger connections with the users. also a lot of talk about virtual reality and artificial intelligence. we talked to a lot of developers looking forward to talking about that and also talking developing on the oculus platform and news and publishing as well. you may see folks around town with these head sets, all of the conference goers are taking home before they leave today. they are also on the market now, brand-new and start at $199 and

he was legally drunk there. clark's grandmother did not read the new report and focused instead on officers who fired. >> how do you sleep? i wonder how do they sleep? >> i made it a priority to stay committed to conducting the very thorough investigation and we want our community and the public to have the information on this autopsy just as we do. >> now the official autopsy maintains clark most likely moved towards officers before being shot head on, not in the back as that private autopsy found. the family's attorney is now reviewing report. today some bay area police departments will recognize and remember officers who died in the line of duty. san jose police and authorities in san mateo will hold ceremonies this morning, national police week starts may 13th. many of us still remember those fires ripping through the north bay last year, some firefighters are already trying to get you ready for this year's fire season. the marin county fire chief

says sales of the iphone x were healthy and reported profits to investors and announced a $100 billion stock buyback thanks to that big tax windfall, $100 billion. apple is spending it on essentially nothing. not research, not buying another company, it's buying up its own stock. now, when a company buys up its own stock, the shares it buys back from investors just cease to exist. they are torn up. which makes the remaining shares worth more. it's a way of goosing your stock price. economist warned lawmakers this is what would happen. the companies would not invest their tax cuts in research or jobs as congress promised, they just enrich their shareholders. in fact, a survey by the atlanta fed found many in the southeast have no plans to spend tax cuts on people or expanding, three quarters had plans to use their money -- three quarters say they

will not use their money to grow their businesses. republican marco rubio in an interview at the economist newspaper said companies bought back shares, few gave out bonuses, but there's no evidence whatsoever that the money they've been -- they have massively pouring back into the american worker. now rubio said it's important to republicans in the mid-term to paint tax cuts as something that benefits middle class americans. vice president mike pence was in arizona tuesday pushing that message to voters at a rally. this is not political. getting tax cuts passed is political. >> right. >> what happens after that is economics and that's science, we can measure that. what they said is going to happen is not happening. >> interesting there. a lot of travelers in bait area and pet owners here, leave fido at home before you fly united. the airline is putting out new restrictions which pets you can bring on a trip. you can bring a little pet if

we'llup date with you wherever you go. back out to the maps system, a live shot for the north bay, smooth drive in now san rafael and golden gate bridge and one more shot dublin, 580 does move slowly through the speed sensors, back to you. >> thanks, mike. coming up here on "today in the bay." >> they say feel free but don't want us to feel free. >> he's back at it again. kanye west's controversial comments on slavery that has hey l a lot of people heated this morning. where's your favorite place in the bay area? sometimes my only outside time is staring at the video in the in studio monitor. we have a beautiful shot of the golden gate bridge yesterday. i want to know where you like to go. right now on my facebook page you can write me. i would love to hear from you @lau @lauragarcianbc.

"migrant caravan" of welcome back, a lot of people are wondering what's next for the so-called migrant caravan of central americans that arrived at the us border with mexico. the people are now seeking asyl asylum. a few now in the united states but the white house is promising to turn everyone else away. experts say whatever happens will likely be out of public view. mexico is now asking immigrant

migrants to leave the border crossing area and move back to available shelters. >> kanye west keeps making headlines. last week he talked about how he supports president trump. now this comment on tmz has everyone talking. >> you hear about slavery for 400 years and for 400 years? that sounds like a choice. like, there for 400 years and it's all y'all? like it's like we're meant to be in prison. i like the word prison because slavery goes direct to the idea of blacks. >> all right, so no surprise here, that made a lot of people upset. west tried to clarify his point really on twitter writing, my point is for us to have stayed in that position even though the numbers were on our side means we were mentally enslaved and once again i'm being attacked for presenting new ideas. >> 5:26, a florida teenager's mother says an apple watch saved

her daughter's life. >> it vibrated so it made me aware that there was something wrong either with my heart or something -- >> that girl's mom right there is a registered nurse. at first she believe what the watch was saying and didn't think it was right. she was still worried about what it was saying about her daughter's heart rate. >> when i showed my mom, it said seek medical attention. i thought time 190. >> they good go to the hospital. turns out the girls kidneys were failing and she needs a transplant. mom wrote a thank you note to apple ceo tim cook responding writing stories like deanna's inspire us to dream bigger and push harder every day. >> very cool. 5:27. a fremont family focusing on sex education, the controversial lesson and new reaction from parents as the school board weighs its options today. plus -- >> why did you have to take my son away from us. he's a good man.

indicating usually a lighter commute driving in. these folks have fast tracks and cash payers typically less frequently driving into the city. that's what we have here. we'll look at the backup and the map shows you no problems for the maze. the backup over here might also be holding a lot of folks up. coming across the carcenas bridge, we have a call into chp, it's a little bit slower, a lot slower than we expected this time in the morning. the rest of the bay is looking all right. over to you. >> 5:32 this morning. families focusing on sex education, maybe you've already had that talk or maybe your kids aren't old enough just yet and thinking what and when to teach it. now the fremont unified school board is talking about a lesson that is sparking controversy. bob redell joins us live with the ongoing discussion happening there. bob, some parents say the curriculum isn't age appropriate. >> reporter: correct, laura. later this afternoon, the

fremont unified board of education in the building behind me will vote on whether or not to approve this new sex-ed curriculum that will be taught to fourth an fifth and sixth graders in our schools. look at the tv screen. we have a screen grab from the web we put up there. there's almost 6400 people who already signed a change.org petition to stop this curriculum from being taught. the fear is as you mentioned not age appropriate and could lead to quote the sexualization of their children. when we first reported on the story back in march, the district question how many signatures were from people in the community versus other parts of the country, the associate superintendent says the curriculum does follow state law and standards with an emphasis on communication. if something out of the ordinary happens the student can let a trusted adult know about that. they can let their child opt out of this new curriculum but critics argue that would subject their child to ridicule. >> i'm against the existing

sexual curriculum. i feel that they need to have a total comprehensive health education even in it is sex education, i think the current curriculum, it's not appropriate for their age level. some of the material is a little too explicit. >> i'm okay for it. you know, the kids need to know what it is, i'm sure the district knows what they are doing. >> reporter: do you think it's too young of an age for fourth or fifth grader? >> they are going to find out anyways. >> reporter: today's board meeting is at 4:30 at district headquarters and the district is expecting a lot of people. they'll open the doors at 3:45. one ticket per person. no saving seats and once the board room is at capacity, you'll have to go to an overflow room. anyone who wants to talk will have two minutes to speak their minds before the board. bob redell, "today in the bay." >> 5:34 right now.

examining that area. last week we told you about the vanness avenue construction project delayed once again. today we're going to find out exactly why. it has to do with what they are finding under the roadway. probably not a dinosaur but recall back in 2012 crews found a mammoth tooth. they are explaining the history they are digging up. the road improvement project is expected to wrap up in 2020. 5:36, we want to tell you about the starts on the new homes in oakland. the transit village is called macarthur station, an appropriate name because it's next to the macarthur b.a.r.t. station. crews have been working in the area for a couple of years. the final faphase is a 24-story tower and construction starts this morning. the warriors taking care of business and now up two games to none in the playoff series against new orleans and for warriors fans what could be
