reduce the number of accidents. it remains unclear how much money the red light cameras brought in in the first place. we have reached out to city councilmembers as well as the mayor for a response. back to you. chancellors from community colleges all over the state, they are showing a support for city college of san francisco. city college in danger of losing it's crede dation at the end of -- accreditation at the end of next month. 50 those signing letters have encouraged them to extend the deadline. they said they would revoke the ccsf accreditation on july 31st. that would force the college to close. the archbishop of san francisco's under fire for planning to go to a rally in washington, d.c. last week. he plans to join the march for marriage. it's an event to publicize the

teachers by making it difficult to fire them. nine california students in a group called students matter filed the lawsuit. they claim giving teachers tenure after two years on the job pro-- >> i believe our education system is failing system. it's not putting the children's need as a priority and the management of our education system. >> the child impoverty is going to not have the resources at home or in the community to help them succeed. we need to be working on poverty not bashing teachers. >> reporter: now, the superior dowrt court -- the california teachers association plans to appeal the ruling. in our next hour of "mornings on 2," how california compares
