AND BY THE FOLLOWING.

AND VIEWERS LIKE YOU, THANK YOU.

CINDY GOES MAYORS TAKING CRITICISM FROM HIS PREDECESSOR OVER THE HOMELESSNESS CRISIS.

THANK YOU FOR JOINING US I MAYA TRABULSI.

THE SAN DIEGO CITY COUNCIL IS VOTING ON THE ORDINANCE WHO WOULD BAN HOMELESS ENCAMPMENTS AND SPACES.

MATT HOFFMAN HAS A LOOK AT THE ARGUMENT FOR AND AGAINST IT.

>>> THE UNSAFE CAMPING ORDINANCE WOULD PROHIBIT ENCAMPMENTS ANYTIME NEAR SCHOOLS , PARKS AND OPEN SPACES AND SHELTERS.

IT WOULD BAN ENCAMPMENTS ON OTHER PUBLIC PROPERTY.

ONLY WHEN SHELTER SPACE IS AVAILABLE.

THE CITY OF SAN DIEGO HAS ROUGHLY 2400 SHELTER BEDS.

MOST OF WHICH ARE IN USE.

THE LATEST POINT IN TIME COUNT DATA SHOWS THERE IS 3200 SHELTERED HOMELESS.

FORMER SAN DIEGO MAYOR, KEVIN, SAYS THAT PRESENTS A PROBLEM.

>> YOU CAN SAY TO NEIGHBORS ACROSS SAN DIEGO THEY WERE GONNA GET RID OF 10 ENCAMPMENTS.

AND YOU CAN ACTUALLY DO THAT IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE SHELTER CAPACITY.

>> Reporter: THE MAYOR SINCE THE LACK OF SHELTER BEDS WOULD RENDER THE ORDINANCE USELESS.

HE SAYS MOVING HOMELESS AWAY FROM PARKS AND SCHOOLS WOULD MOVE THEM TO OTHER NEIGHBORHOODS.

SAN DIEGO MAYOR TODD GLORIA HAS BEEN CAMPAIGNING FOR THE ORDINANCE.

HE SAYS TO SAFE CAMPGROUNDS NEAR BALBOA PARK ARE READY TO LAUNCH IN WEEKS.

IT COULD AT 510 SPACES, IT'S NOT ENOUGH TO MEET YOUR NEED.

THIS IS IS A SHORT-TERM SOLUTION WHILE THE CITY MSM OR SHELTER SPACES.

THAT PLAN WILL BE PRESENTED TO THE CITY COUNCIL THIS WEEK.

THE ORDINANCE WOULD BAN ENCAMPMENTS NEAR SENSITIVE AREAS LIKE SCHOOLS AND PARKS.

THAT WOULD BE IN EFFECT REGARDLESS OF SHELTER CAPACITY.

>> THE TAXPAYERS ARE ANTICIPATING TO SPEND $200 MILLION IN THE UPCOMING FISCAL YEAR.

FOR THE INVESTMENT IT IS REASONABLE TO EXPECT YOU HAVE FREE ACCESS TO YOUR PARKS THROUGHOUT THE CITY TO BE USED BY THE VERY SAME TAXPAYERS.

>> THE NONPROFIT PROJECT OPERATES FOUR SHELTERS WITH CITY FUNDING IN SAN DIEGO.

THE CEO SAYS THE UNSAFE CAMPING ORDINANCE IS A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

HE'S PRO ENFORCEMENT, BUT.

>> YOU ARE CRIMINALIZING HOMELESSNESS UNLESS YOU HAVE A PLACE FOR PEOPLE TO GO.

>> THE MAYOR SAYS HE HAS DONE MORE TO ADDRESS HOMELESSNESS AND ANYONE IN THE REGION.

BY 70% AND EXPANDING THE SAFE PARKING PROGRAM AND THE CREATION OF TO SAFE SLEEPING SITES FOR HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE TO CAMP LEGALLY.

TO GO ALONG WITH THE PROHIBITION ON 10 ENCAMPMENTS.

MATT HOFFMAN, KPBS NEWS.

>> YOU ARE INVITED TO WEIGH IN ON SAN DIEGO COUNTY'S BUDGET FOR THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR.

TODAY COUNTY SUPERVISORS HELD THE FIRST PUBLIC COMMENT HEARING ON THE $8.1 BILLION BUDGET.

THE PROPOSAL INCLUDES INVESTMENTS TO ADDRESS HOMELESSNESS AND MENTAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE AS WELL AS ROADS FIRE PROTECTION AND PARKS.

A SECOND HEARING IS SET FOR 5:30 THURSDAY EVENING.

BUDGET DELIBERATIONS AND A FINAL VOTE ARE SCHEDULED FOR JUNE 27th.

>>> EDUCATORS WITH THE SAN DIEGO UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT ARE CELEBRATING THEIR HISTORIC NEW CONTRACT TONIGHT.

98% OF MEMBERS WITH THE SAN DIEGO EDUCATION ASSOCIATION SAID YES TO THE DEAL THAT INCLUDES THE LARGEST PAY RAISE EVER.

IN A JOINT NEWS CONFERENCE THIS MORNING WAS SCHOOL BOARD TRUSTEES UNION LEADERS CONFIRMED RESULTS OF THE VOTE ALONG WITH A 15% PAY RAISE OVER TWO YEARS.

THE CONTRACT DOUBLES MATERNITY LEAVE TO SIX WEEKS AND REQUIRES TWO TEACHERS AND EVERY TRANSITIONAL KINDERGARTEN CLASS STARTING IN THE FALL.

SPOKE WITH RESOURCES BEING SCARCE WITH SO MANY OF US WORKING MULTIPLE SIDE GIGS TO MAKE ENDS MEET.

THIS IS NOT LIVING THIS IS SURVIVING.

WITH THE WAGE INCREASES WE CAN GET BACK TO TRYING TO JUST LIVE AGAIN.

>>> THERE WERE 5400 BALLOTS CAST LAST WEEK BY CLASSROOM TEACHERS.

COUNSELORS LIKE THERAPISTS AND OTHER EDUCATORS.

THE NEW CONTRACT GUARANTEES A FIRST YEAR TEACHER WILL MAKE AT LEAST $64,000 PER YEAR NOW.

A VETERAN TEACHER SALARY REACHING UP TO $124,000 ANNUALLY.

THE SCHOOL BOARD WILL RECTIFY THE AGREEMENT AT ITS JUNE 20th MEETING.

ABLE TO RECOGNIZE HEY, MY CHILD IS SEEMS TO BE STRUGGLING MORE WITH THEIR ABILITY TO CONCENTRATE THEIR ABILITY TO FOCUS.

JENKINS SAYS 80 HD IS A CLINICAL DIAGNOSIS.

IT REQUIRES A PEDIATRICIAN, PSYCHIATRIST OR PSYCHOLOGIST TO DETERMINE THERE ARE STILL THESE MYTHS OUT THERE THAT HD IS NOT A REAL THING.

THAT'S ABSOLUTELY NOT AND IS ABSOLUTELY NOT TRUE.

WE KNOW FOR CERTAIN IT'S A >> JENKINS AS HAVING ADHD IS NOT A BAD THING.

SCHOOLS PLAY A LARGE ROLE IN FRAMING IN A POSITIVE WAY.

WHETHER THAT'S GIVING KIDS MORE TIME ON TESTS OR ALLOWING THEM TO TAKE EXAMS AND QUIETER ROOMS.

WITH MANY SCHOOLS CLOSE, SUMMERTIME CAN BE LESS STRUCTURED FOR KIDS WHICH IS TOUGH FOR SOME.

>> STRUCTURE DURING THE SUMMER IS IMPORTANT.

SCHOOL CAN CAUSE ADHD SYMPTOMS.

THEY DON'T WANT TO FOCUS ON THOSE THINGS OF BEING STRESSED BUT THEY MIGHT FIND THE SUMMER TO BE VERY POSITIVE TIME.

>> JENKINS HAS ROUGHLY 60 TO 80% OF KIDS WITH ADHD WILL USE MEDICATION AT SOME POINT.

SHE SAYS I CAN BE EFFECTIVE WITH MANAGING SYMPTOMS.

DURING THE PANDEMIC THE CDC REPORTED LARGE INCREASES AMONG KIDS USING PRESCRIPTION STIMULANTS.

NOT EVERYONE NEEDS MEDICATION THOUGH.

HAVING A MORE STRUCTURED ENVIRONMENT AND THINGS LIKE PHYSICAL ACTIVITY CAN ALSO HELP.

BUT WE HAVE A PATTERN CHANGE ON THE WAY.

WE ARE FINALLY GOING TO START ON A SLIGHT WARMING TREND.

DON'T GET TOO EXCITED.

TEMPERATURES WILL BE ON THE RISE INTO SATURDAY.

MORE INLAND WE WILL EXPERIENCE NIGHTS AND MORNING LOW CLOUDS.

NOT SO MUCH AS WE HAVE ALONG THE COAST BUT STILL, YOU WAKE UP EARLY OR IF YOU ARE GOING TO BED LATE OR OUT LATE, TAKE PRECAUTIONS OR MAYBE LOW AND VISIBILITY.

TONIGHT LOW CLOUDS AROUND METRO, DROPPING DOWN TO A LOW OF 62.

AROUND THE REGION COME A SIMILAR STORY.

LOW CLOUDS ALONG THE POST.

AS WE HEAD INTO THE REST OF THE WEEK, THE LOW CLOUDS WILL START TO SHIFT MORE INLAND.

AS WE WAKE UP TOMORROW MORNING OR THE AFTERNOON, HIGHS RISE WITH THE 70s ALONG THE COAST, UPPER 60s IN SAN DIEGO.

AND IN RAMONA AT 73.

AS WE TAKE OUR EYE DURING THE HIGH DESERTS, 74.

AND A HIGH 59.

I WANT TO SHOW YOU HOW THIS WILL PLAY OUT.

THE CLOUDS START TO BREAK AGAIN AND AND THEY BUILD AGAIN LATE AT NIGHT INTO THE EARLY MORNING.

WE WILL HAVE MORE SUNSHINE THAN WHAT WE HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING, ESPECIALLY ALONG THE COAST TURNING SUNNY THIS WEEK WITH HIGHS IN THE 70s.

WE ARE STAYING RELATIVELY STUDY ALONG THE COAST.

THAT'S NORMAL.

AS WE MOVE MORE INLAND THAT'S WHEN WE START TO SEE THE WARM- UP.

WE ARE IN THE UPPER 70s BY THURSDAY.

80s BY FRIDAY AND SATURDAY AND CLOSER TOWARDS THE MOUNTAINS.

WE ARE RISING TO THE 60s AGAIN.

I KNOW WE'VE BEEN IN THE 50s AND IT'S BEEN CHILLY.

60s ARE ON THE WAY.

IT'S NOT GOING TO BE NECESSARILY WARM BUT WE HAVE SOME SUNSHINE, COOLER SUNSHINE BY SATURDAY.

IF WE LOOK AT THE DESERTS, WE ARE RISING THROUGH WEDNESDAY AND TAKE A SLIGHT DIP ON THURSDAY BUT WE ARE BACK AT IT ON FRIDAY WITH A HIGH OF 97 IN TRIPLE DIGITS EXPECTED BY SATURDAY.
