okay, little wendy's hack. if you want a super fresh, high-quality burger every time, tell them you want... a “hamburger.” that's a hack, right?

no? a hack-free burger, made fresh for you? gotta be wendy's. >> to a standing ovation. emotions were running high as one of the leaders was kicked off the job. parents and students are in a new fight as a massive deficit hangs over them. >> if you want to help people, there are probably better ways to help them than that. >> and could it be the solution of tackling homelessness? one man is hoping that there is honor. how he's trying to befriend them, so they could all be rich.

hi, i'm sara donchey. we start tonight in san francisco where the city's board of supervisors voted to remove one of the people at the top of the city's police commission. now the commission, crafts policy for police officers and oversees discipline of officers. max carter was appointed by former mayor london breed. he has not done anything that would justify him being kicked off the job and on his way out, he had some new words for the city mayor and leadership. breaking down the board's decision to remove him and the public's response. >> reporter: san francisco police commission vice president, max carter overstone is now officially out of the --

voting to remove him at the request of mayor daniel lurie. >> everything i've done on this commission is for my son, everett. with the hope that one day, he might grow up in a better, safer, and freer san francisco. >> reporter: and he spoke at length to the board before his side highlighting the childhood adversity that led to a career of public service. saying his job on the commission was a great honor and one he took very seriously. >> i have spent every month to the people of san francisco. not to any politician or political cause. >> reporter: both supporters and detractors of carter overstone filled the room lining up for public comment to discuss their thoughts on his removal. >> please give this young man a

chance. there's no misconduct from him. >> reporter: in the end, we agree with mayor lurie that we need a commissioner that's for collaboration and communication. we reached out to mayor lurie's office for comment on his removal. he did not respond to carter's removal, instead focusing on the vote to confirm his replacement. saying, "throughout the government, we're appointing leaders who will work with fellow commissioners and departments to deliver better services for our city." and as we work together to protect san franciscans. also in san francisco tonight, it's being credited as a worst-case scenario plan. leaders from san francisco's unified schools will now send a preliminary layoff notice to hundreds of

school staffers, teachers, social workers, counselors, teachers, aids. downsizing is difficult, but necessary to avoid a full state takeover. >> we continue to prioritize decisions that are ensuring the resources we do have will be used to support what matters the most. our students' academic success. >> layoff notices will be sent in on march 5. other schools are also facing their own challenges. five oakland charter schools could close after the school year. it is a move that would impact more than 1,500 students. amanda hari spoke about why they think their school is so

important. >> reporter: joaquima dyer spends a lot of time in her car. >> even though it's 70 miles round trip drive, it's worth it. >> reporter: she lives in vallejo, but her kids go to urban montessori charter school in oakland. dyer says it is the only school that has worked well for her son. he has autism and adhd. she has a daughter in first grade. before enrolling, dyer was constantly distressed. >> feeling like he didn't deserve to live. he thought he always let everybody down all the time. to hear a 5-year-old or 6-year-old say something like that is pretty alarming. >> the office of education

denied renewing urban montessori charter's charter because, focusing on child center education and not test scores. the head of school, bissonnette, says teachers watch how a child interacts with their classmates, how they engage with the materials, and by talking with them. >> students work independently. there's a lot of choice in what they work on, where they work. >> reporter: they were devastated when the eoc denied their charter. trying to see if the school district can bring the montessori model to an in district school. >> we've been trying to work with them for several years around bringing montessori into the district. there is a lot of obstacles in that process. but i think that right now, there's

some more momentum to build more schools in oakland. >> reporter: he is cautiously optimistic, despite the fact they announced plans to merge ten schools into five. dyer says for families like hers, the method has become a necessary and that some of the children won't drive in a traditional environment. >> we need this school. >> reporter: some parents are, for a two-year provisional reknew. >> for the time being, dyer is letting her kids soak in what could be the last few months of attending their school. 27 out of the 38 authorized charter schools in the city. facing a nearly $100 million budget shortfall in the next two years. it is unclear if it will

affect those charter schools. the department of government efficiency is down a few employees. they were part of the u.s. digital service, renamed the u.s. doing. in a letter, they say we will not use our skills to compromise core government systems. or dismantle critical public services. a lot of people are asking who is in charge of doge? elon musk is very much the public face of the effort. but earlier today when press, the white house press secretary wouldn't say who the official administrator is. >> the president tasked elon musk to oversee the doge effort. there are career officials and political appointees who are helping to run doge on a day-to-day basis. and there are

also individuals who have on boarded at. up to find and identify fraud and abuse. >> amy gleason worked with the white house during trump's first term. several unions protested job and funding cuts in dc today. at least one contract was restoredded though. $250,000 to research cancers related to 7-eleven. >> and a new are hosting job

fairs and sit-ins. the jr.ty of the leader. you're trying to find efficiencies and if that reduces it all for those involved. >> it gives you an idea of who is directly impacted from all the cuts. it's one thing to just say you're making these cuts without realizing the impact. san jose launched a new program to help connect unhoused people with friends or family, even it if they are very far away. the four outreach workers can offer people family reconnection services immediately. that'll save a bed. >> why some advocates say it is nothing to warm up. and we will add a lot of 70s tomorrow. we'll talk about how long that will last in your

first alert forecast. and these people were feeling so lucky, they stole a wallet and bought some scratchoffs. how that plan helped a couple of people win a pretty big jackpot.

helping people out of homelessness is a constant challenge in the bay area and so many places. now one city is trying to give people a ticket out of town. the city of san jose is banning encampments in rv parking, trying to get people off the streets, but they still need to figure out where those people can go next. that is why they're opening up space for people living on the street doing everything from adding more rv safe space parking zones to building new travel zones. today the city announced a new strategy called homeward bound. it gives free rides to send unhoused people back to their loved ones even if they're not in california. this method has

been tried elsewhere in the bay area and the country. the yes now is how many people will actually want to go? our john ramos reports. >> reporter: during the day, this park is filled with people who have nowhere to go. one of them is drew cleary. >> you never know what makes a person end up in this situation, you know? >> reporter: drew lives on the streets with her two dogs, dad and butter cup. they're all the family she has. >> i don't have anybody. no, i don't have family. i'm all by myself. >> reporter: she's been homeless for a year now and traveledded from modesto to san jose a month ago because she heard there were more services here, but there is even less of a chance of finding a place to stay here than there. >> a lady that charged my phone for me today, they're outreach workers, you know, asked me,

well, if you go not knowing anybody or nothing. i don't really have a way to get back to minnesota. >> people come here and get stuck, ending up with no way to get back to family. >> many of the people living and dying on our streets have a loved one who cares for them. many have connections and ties to places they can't reach. each one has a different story. a different reason for being on the streets. and some, many, are desperately looking for a way out. >> it's a unhousing people to return home. they can connect homeless residents with loved ones willing to take them in. >> this program, homeward bound, offers one way out. it isn't the right program for everyone,

but it's the right program for anyone trying to get home. reconnect with family and friends who are willing to help. >> reporter: listening in at the press conference is gayle osmer, a local advocate for the last 30 years. she said no one has ever talked to her about wanting to go home. she's concerned there will be no followup once someone is dropped off. >> how do we know that if an unhoused wants to go home, it's not a good environment? we don't know that. maybe they're going into a worst environment than they are now, you know. we have to make sure our unhoused are safe. we are not sure if they will be safe going back into that family, friend environment. that's what scares me. >> reporter: for drew, she has her doubts on how many people it will affect. some non-profits are helping with transportation. >> if you want help, there's probably better ways to help them than that, but that's a

good thing. most of these people don't have anybody to go home to. so it wouldn't be like a big thing, you know. >> reporter: the city admits they have no idea how many people might want this help. but they say it is worth trying. they say for every individual who takes the offer, there will be one less person looking for a place for the night. san jose wants to triple its shelter capacity over the next year, but they won't be able to house everyone. still, officials say the cost to send someone back home to family is a fraction of the cost of putting them into the shelter system. san francisco has offered a version of this for 20 years now. mayor governor newsom implemented homeward bound in 2025. it turned into three separate programs. the city says in total, they've been able to relocate more than 111,000 people.

we have no shortage of nice days in the bay area. today was especially nice. >> it's really nice to get just a little break from the rain we had the first half of the month. then a little taste of spring. also a lot of pollen in the atmosphere. >> yes. we are fighting through it. >> yes. we will get through it with some rain to wash that stuff out of the atmosphere. let's talk about the big picture pattern. how things will evolve here. we'll track the progression of the storm system out of our way, heading our way, stand out in purple. wasn't will send clouds over the bay area, but minimal rain chances. that one will be able to hold together through a greater extent, not directing an atmospheric river towards the bay area, but a better chance

for rain. we still get to enjoy a calm and warm weather pattern as we head into the next couple of days. let's take a look at where our temperatures stand right now as we look downtown from treasure island. clear skies overhead, not even a hint of fog as we look to the west. temperatures in the mix, a few 40s, still a lot of points at this point. it will be a continuing theme tonight. it won't be absent. there will be some of it trying to determine after we get past the next few morning hours, we're likely to see some fog developing, but it won't be widespread. it won't be verier sis tent should they travel in the first hour or two, daylight. but it will warm up from the pretty normal start in the 40s across most of the bay area. low to mid-40s for us to begin the day on wednesday. some of the coolest spots, the north bay valley. but starting off in the upper 30s, where you will wake up for it ordering more

than 30 degrees to thes. for records tomorrow between 79 to 80 degrees. a mix of 60s and 70s along the bay. mid to upper 70s in santa clara valley. we're going to knock a couple degrees off these high temperatures each day on thursday, friday. then a sharper drop as the next rain chance heads our way on saturday and sunday. so let's take a look at our long-range forecast model side by side. we're still in the time frame, where we are kind of figuring out the rough details of how this is going to play out. american forecast model tries to sneak a couple showers into the southern half of the bay area on friday. that won't have enough moisture to reach the ground, but we will keep an eye on it just in case. the most likely scenario here is what the european models are depicting with a good chance of rain moving in late saturday evening into saturday night. they do agree that there is a good chance of light to moderate rain that will be moving in. sunday is going to be the wetter

half of the weekend. it is nice when we start to reach the consensus in the terms of lingering shower activity that we'll see on monday. we will continue to refine those details as we get a little closer to the month of march, but again, let's not lose fact that it will be really nice across the bay area tomorrow. temperatures into the mid-60s, even for the coast. then we start to drop off. we'll drop off quite a bit more once we hit the weekend, and the weather seems a bit more settle. anything that you want to or have to or ordered to do, we're going to be seeing the best conditions for that likely the first half, and then the rain chances will be sprinkling. it will be inland because that 10-degree drop will feel jarring as we finish out the month of february and head into early march. vern? >> all right. straight ahead in sports, payback for one player and

another smackdown for dub nation. warriors moving on up in the west.

warriors fans were able to celebrate more than just the team's fourth win tonight. african american heritage night kicked off at chase. including goodies, giveaways, special performances all in the name of black history. the team also honored activist and head of the dr. huewp. newton foundation. >> the history of the organization, the black panter had party, the foundation was the survival programs. for example, feeding children. protecting seniors. i know these are ideals that the warriors organization also supports. >> at halftime, newton was given innovation and a custom jersey by the team. all right, that was all the fun stuff that happened. >> a good old warm feeling throughout chasing the night. >> the business side, but it

sits out and maybe they were all put owe every then. >> and you need to go out and just happened it to them like they did tonight. >> oh man. they were shaking the ground of the nba's western conference. it was coming from chase center. at least the warriors, just shooting right up the standings with 24 games left. all for brandon rush. and you can see nationals look at the ball movement. set up curry for the third quarter. he only played scored double figures. you can't get more than that. warriors roll with a shout out to draymond green who did it at both end, 15 points, 6 assists, 66 rebounds, and a nice

one-handed rip inside. warriors jump up to eighth in the conference standings. strength in numbers tonight. we like this by santos. now remember i said seven in double figures. let me shout out kevin knocks. he had 15 minutes, scored 12. dubs now 6-1 on jimmy butler era. next, they play the or ran joe magic on thursday. >> today was not the best fight. they were missing several of their big guys. we did what we needed to do tonight. but our offense is helping our defense and vice versa, which is a sign of the good team. college doctorrable before ryan nemhart set up the night sending up hickman from the de. and the west coast conference

assist record in a 95-76 win. santa clara fell to 19-11. the zags are 22-a. there was a time when they were all together before luka doncic was abruptly traded to the laker the february 2. 23 days later? dallas came to l.a. but two and a half minutes into the game, luka got teamed up. got heated with the rock. here he is from deep. and watch this staredown at the mavericks bench. triple double. oh, a guy named lebron james added 27. sara, watched this one on her cell phone. it was the lakers night, 107-99. the lakers are currently fourth in the west coast conference standings. and the warriors, they could lead to seventh with a win going on. >> those trades were huge for

both of those teams. and luka doncic looks amazing. >> yes, you can steal the last name. that's fine. >> that's fine. what would you do if you won the lottery? would you buy a sports team like vern? would you buy an island or split the money with other people? one guy is trying to do that.

winning the lottery would be a dream come true for the three people you see standing in front of you. we would never see you again. and a guy was able to make that dream come true. but for someone else, john davis says his car was broken into earlier this month and two thieves allegedly took their l with a et and went on a shopping spree. they used his credit card to buy a few things like cigarettes and scratchers. yeah. one of those cards turned out to be a winner for $525,000. >> oh my gosh. >> this is interesting. right now, his lawyer says they are looking for the thieves not to charge them, but to split the

winnings with them. >> and now, of course, these two guys and they would be the best friends if they accept the deal. and splitting the money 50%, it will be a good thing for them. and they seem to have financial problems. for my client, it would be a wonderful gift too. so i think from a legal and splitting it equally would be a good thing. >> ask they seem to have financial problems, he said. thieves have not been identified so far. winning tickets have to be claimed within 30 days of the end of the sales period. france's national operator says no requests for the payments have come in yet. >> half a million? >> moral dilemma. right? >> that is a lot of things. >> three croissants in today's global economy. >> yes. no eggs. thank you for watching the. the late show with stephen colbert is coming up next. we'll
