AND BY VIEWERS LIKE YOU, THANK YOU.

>> GOOD EVENING, IT'S TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 16th.

THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.

I AM MY TRIPLE C. WE BEGIN TONIGHT WITH A WRONGFUL DEATH SUIT.

AS KPBS REPORTER KITTY ALVARADO TELLS US, THERE ARE THREATS OF LAWSUITS IF THAT HOME IS NOT SHUTDOWN.

>> MY SON HAD JUST TURNED 18 AND HE HAD A LONG LIFE OUT OF HIM.

A BIG BEAUTIFUL HEART.

HE COULD MAKE YOU LAUGH IN .3 SECONDS.

>> AMANDA SHANE SMILED AS SHE REMEMBERED HER SON, ISAIAH SHANE.

HE DIED IN A HOME CALLED CIRCLE OF FRIENDS WHERE HE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE GETTING TREATMENT.

HE WAS TAKEN THERE AFTER BEING PLACED IN FOSTER CARE BECAUSE OF ADDICTION AND BEHAVIORAL ISSUES.

>> ONCE MY SON WENT INTO THE COUNTY'S CUSTODY, HE WAS NOT RECEIVING THOSE SERVICES.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY.

>> NOW, THE FAMILY HAS FILED A ONE MILLION-DOLLAR CLAIM AGAINST SAN DIEGO COUNTY FOR WRONGFUL DEATH, SAYING THEY FAILED TO PROVIDE BASIC CARE AND A SAFE, SUPERVISED ENVIRONMENT.

SHANE HARRIS, THE PRESIDENT OF THE PEOPLE'S ASSOCIATION SAYS THE HOME HAS A HISTORY OF COMPLAINTS THAT INCLUDE SEXUAL ABUSE.

>> YOU ARE TELLING ME NOW, WITH ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS AND THE POLICE CHIEF AND ALL OF THIS INVOLVEMENT FROM THE DA AND LAW ENFORCEMENT EVEN TOOK A CASE AND CHARGED SOMEONE WHO WAS A FORMER EMPLOYEE FOR HAVING INAPPROPRIATE RELATIONS WITH A CHILD.

YOU'RE TELLING ME THAT IT'S NOT HARD FOR THE COUNTY TO MUSTER UP SOME COURAGE AND ACTUALLY CLOSE THE GROUP HOME DOWN?

FROM MIKE HARRIS SAYS IN ADDITION TO THE MONETARY CLAIM, THE COUNTY, STATE AND BOARD OF THE HOME MUST DO THE RIGHT THING AND SHUT IT DOWN OR THEY WILL FACE LAWSUITS OF THEIR OWN.

>> WE ARE NOT GOING TO STOP UNTIL WE GET THE END OF THIS GROUP HOME CLOSE.

THEY NEED TO CLOSE IT DOWN NOW.

THEY HAVE DEMONSTRATED THAT THEY DON'T HAVE THE LEADERSHIP TO TAKE CARE OF THESE KIDS.

>> Reporter: ISAIAH'S MOM SAYS SHE WANTS HER SON TO BE REMEMBERED NOT BY THE WAY THAT HE DIED, BUT FOR BRINGING A CHANGE THAT PROTECTS KIDS LIKE HIM.

>> THAT THE BEAUTIFUL LEGACY TO BE REMEMBERED BY.

THESE CHANGES HAVE TAKEN PLACE AND ALL THE LAWMAKERS DO WHAT THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO DO.

THAT IS HOW MY SON WILL BE REMEMBERED.

>> Reporter: WE REACHED OUT TO CIRCLE OF FRIENDS AT THE COUNTY.

WE HAVE NOT HEARD BACK FROM THE HOME IN THE COUNTY SAYS THEY CANNOT COMMENT ON PENDING LITIGATION.

KITTY ALVARADO, KPBS NEWS.

>>> OF THE CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION IS SCRAMBLING TONIGHT TO MEET A COURT ORDER PROTECTING A NUMBER OF STUDENTS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS.

AS STUDENTS ARE CONCERNED MEDICALLY FRAGILE AND UNABLE TO RETURN TO IN CLASS LEARNING THAT COULD EXPOSE THEM TO COVID- 19, THE SAN DIEGO STUDENT AND HIS FAMILY ARE AMONG THE PLAINTIFFS IN AN ALLEGED CASE OF DISABILITY DISCRIMINATION.

KPBS REPORTER EXPLAINS.

>> Reporter: 16-YEAR-OLD ETHAN RUSTIC IS A HIGH SCHOOL SOPHOMORE, A SPECIAL OLYMPICS CHAMPION AND A MUSICIAN.

HE IS ALSO LIVING WITH THE EXTREMELY RARE -- SYNDROME, A DIAGNOSIS THE CAUSES HIM TO BE MEDICALLY FRAGILE.

>> HE HAS HAD 23 SURGERIES, FIVE HEART SURGERIES, A HEART ATTACK, HE HAS CEREBRAL PALSY.

HE HAS GOT A LOT GOING ON.

>> Reporter: HIS FATHER, SEAN AND YOUNGER SISTER TONYA ARE HIS DEVOTED SUPPORTERS AS WELL AS HIS VERY DEVOTED MOM.

THEY ARE AMONG 23 CALIFORNIA FAMILIES SUING FOR DISCRIMINATION BY DENYING ETHAN AND THE OTHER CHILDREN AT HOME LEARNING WITH THEIR FULL SPECIAL EDUCATION SUPPORT SERVICES.

>> EVERY PARENT WANTS THEIR CHILD TO BE HEALTHY AND HAPPY AND HAVE AN EDUCATION.

AND SO, HE ALSO DESERVES WHATEVER HE OTHER CHILD IS RECEIVING RIGHT NOW.

>> Reporter: IN JULY, THE STATE LEGISLATURE PASSED AV 130 WHICH BEGAN THE NEW LAW TO PRIORITIZE IN PERSON LEARNING FOR ALL STUDENTS, INCLUDING THOSE WITH SPECIAL NEEDS.

THAT LEFT STUDENTS WHO WERE MEDICALLY FRAGILE WITHOUT A VIABLE DISTANCE-LEARNING OPTION AND SUPPORT.

ETHAN HAS BEEN STUCK AT HOME WITH NO SUPPORT LIKE HE USED TO HAVE HIS FRESHMAN YEAR THROUGH ZOOM CLASSES.

ETHAN IS A STUDENT HERE AT PATRICK HENRY HIGH SCHOOL.

BUT HE HAS NEVER ACTUALLY ATTENDED ANY IN-PERSON CLASSES.

SAN DIEGO UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT IS NOT PART OF THE LAWSUIT AND IT IS THE DISTRICT'S POLICY TO NEVER COMMENT ON PENDING LEGAL ACTION.

THE FAMILIES ARE NOT SUING SCHOOL DISTRICTS.

THEY ARE SUING THE STATE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT BECAUSE THIS IS A STATE LAW.

THE DEPARTMENT RELEASED A STATEMENT THAT SAYS IN PART, THE CDC IS CONTINUING TO WORK OVERTIME TO ENSURE THAT ALL STUDENTS RECEIVE THE EDUCATION THAT THEY DESERVE.

AS WE HAVE STATED BEFORE, VULNERABLE STUDENTS THAT HAVE BEEN IMPACTED, WE ARE WORKING TO MITIGATE THOSE IMPACTS.

IT HAS BEEN A TOP CONCERN OF CALIFORNIA'S EDUCATION COMMUNITY SINCE THE VIRUS WAS FIRST DETECTED IN OUR STATE.

>> IT DISCRIMINATES ON THE BASIS OF DISABILITY.

SO WHAT WE WOULD LIKE IS EQUAL ACCESS TO SAFE, VIRTUAL INSTRUCTION.

>> Reporter: ABOUT THE IN PROCESS FOR ETHAN AND THE OTHERS.

A JUDGE WILL REVIEW THE CASE DECEMBER 2nd.

THE DECISION COULD IMPACT CHILDREN WHO ARE MEDICALLY FRAGILE WITH SPECIAL NEEDS ACROSS CALIFORNIA.

THAT COULD ADD THE TITLE OF HERO TO THIS YOUNG MAN'S LIST OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS.

>>> IF YOU ARE PLANNING ON TRAVELING THIS THANKSGIVING HOLIDAY, YOU WILL HAVE PLENTY OF COMPANY.

KPBS REPORTER JOHN CARROLL SAYS IF YOU ARE GOING TO DRIVE, BRING YOUR GAS MONEY.

>> IT'S A BIG SIGN A LOT OF US IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA ARE PUTTING THE PANDEMIC IN THE REARVIEW MIRROR.

NEW NUMBERS FROM AAA SHOW PEOPLE ARE READY TO TRAVEL AGAIN.

BIG-TIME.

NEARLY 4 MILLION SOUTHERN CALIFORNIANS ARE GOING TO GET BEHIND THE WHEEL IN TRAVEL AT LEAST 50 MILES FROM HOME.

THAT'S UP 9% FROM LAST YEAR AND ONLY DOWN 1% FROM 2019.

NEARLY HALF 1 MILLION OF US WILL GET ON AN AIRPLANE TO TRAVEL.

82% FROM 2020.

DOWN 4 FROM 2019.

OTHER FORMS OF TRANSPORTATION LIKE RAIL AND BUS, ABOUT 80,000.

UP A WHOPPING 262% FROM LAST YEAR.

STILL DOWN A CONSIDERABLE 36% FROM BEFORE THE PANDEMIC.

PUT IT ALL TOGETHER, AND ABOUT 4.5 MILLION OF US ARE TRAVELING SOMEWHERE FOR THE UPCOMING HOLIDAY.

IF YOU ARE GETTING BEHIND THE WHEEL, GET OUT THE WALLET.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE A NUMBERS PERSON TO FIND THESE DIGITS TERRIFYING.

>> I THINK THE HIGH GAS PRICES ARE A PAIN AND I DON'T LIKE THEM.

>> VICTORIA FLOREZ DROVE FROM THE SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY.

NOT EXACTLY WHAT YOU CALL AN ECONOMY CAR.

>> WE HAVE TO SEARCH ON THE UP.

IT TAKES -- I THINK THE $50 MARK IS THE NEW $20 IN GAS RIGHT NOW.

>> WE DIDN'T EXPECT ANYONE TO LIKE THESE PRICES.

BUT WHEN WE ASKED ONE CUSTOMER WHAT HE THOUGHT ABOUT THEM, HE DID HAVE A SOMEWHAT SURPRISING ANSWER.

>> IS THERE A GOOD REASON TWO OF THE EXPENSIVE PRICES THAT WE ALL STOP TEASING OUR CARS AS MUCH AS WE DID?

THE AVERAGE PRICE FOR REGULAR SAN DIEGO IS $4.64.

THAT IS UP ABOUT $.10 FROM A WEEK AGO.

SO -- >> Reporter: THERE ARE NUMBER REASONS FOR THE INCREASING PRICES.

DEMAND IS HIGH.

SOME CALIFORNIA REFINERIES ARE UNDERGOING MAINTENANCE AND TIGHTLY CONTROLLING SUPPLY.

BUT THERE IS SOME GOOD NEWS.

HE SAYS WE PROBABLY WON'T BREAK OUR RECORD HIGH OF $4.73 FROM OCTOBER 8th, 2012.

>> ONCE WE GET THROUGH THESE ISSUES THAT WE'VE HAD THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS AND I THINK WE WILL SEE PRICES EVEN OUT.

OR START GOING DOWN.

>> Reporter: SPRING SAYS THERE IS AN UPSIDE.

SAN DIEGO IS THE NUMBER ONE DESTINATION FOR SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA TRAVELERS.

'S HOPEFULLY, THEY WILL HAVE SOME MONEY LEFT TO SPEND ONCE THEY GET HERE.

JOHN CARROLL, KPBS NEWS.

>>> THE LARGEST HUNGER RELIEF ORGANIZATION IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY GOT A DONATION JUST IN TIME FOR THE UPCOMING HOLIDAY.

REPORTER ALYSSA MAE WAS THERE FOR THE DELIVERY.

>> THE JACOBSON CUSHMAN SAN DIEGO FOOD BANK RECENTLY MADE ABOUT $200,000 FOR TURKEYS.

THAT'S DOUBLE THE PRICE FOR THE SAME AMOUNT OF TURKEYS THEY RECEIVED LAST YEAR.

IN ADDITION, TODAY THEY RECEIVED A TURKEY DONATION FROM FOSTER FARMS.

WHO HAS PARTNERED WITH THE FOOD BANK SINCE 2008.

>> THEY HAVE GENEROUSLY AND TIMELY DONATED OVER 8000 POUNDS OF TURKEYS.

THAT'S FOUR TIMES AND THAT WILL HELP US SERVE OVER 10,000 PEOPLE DURING THE HOLIDAY SEASON.

>> Reporter: CASEY CASTILLE IS THE INTERIM CEO AND SAYS THIS DONATION WILL HELP TO SERVE THE OVER 500 NONPROFIT CHARITIES WHO DEPEND ON THEIR SERVICES.

>> FAMILIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY ARE EXPERIENCING HARDSHIP WITH THE RISE IN FUEL COSTS, WITH INFLATION, AND NOW, THE INCREASE IN FOOD COSTS.

AND SO, THOSE FAMILIES THAT WERE ALREADY EXPERIENCING FOOD INSECURITY ARE NOW HAVING AN EVEN MORE DIFFICULT TIME.

>> Reporter: TURKEYS WILL START BEING DISTRIBUTED EARLY NEXT WEEK FOR THE HOLIDAY AS THE NEED FOR FOOD CONTINUES TO RISE.

>> WE ARE CURRENTLY SERVING 550,000.

I THINK THE NUMBERS GOING TO GO THROUGH THE HOLIDAYS AND INTO 2022.

>> Reporter: ALEX CHEN IS IN ECONOMICS PROFESSOR AT THE UNIVERSITY OF SAN DIEGO.

DURING HIS INTERVIEW, HE DISCUSSED HOW MUCH THE COST OF FOOD HAS GONE UP.

>> IT'S UP NATIONALLY, UP 5%.

IF YOU LOOK AT THE INDIVIDUAL COMPONENTS OF THAT INDEX IN PARTICULAR, WHAT I WOULD CALL THE PROTEINS ARE UP CONSIDERABLY SO THE CATEGORY OF MEAT, DAIRY AND EGGS, THAT'S UP 12% YEAR AFTER YEAR.

>> Reporter: THE UNITED STATES IS CURRENTLY EXPERIENCING THE HIGHEST INFLATION RATE IN 30 YEARS.

SUPPLY PRICES MAY INCREASE EVEN MORE IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY.

>> WE ARE KIND OF A CUL-DE-SAC.

SO WE ARE AT THE END OF THE LINE.

AS THE SUPPLY CHAIN IS CONCERNED.

>> Reporter: FOR THOSE WHO WANT HELP, THE FOOD BANK BY VOLUNTEERING AND DONATING MONEY AND GOODS CAN GO TO SAN DIEGO FOOD BANK.ORG.

ALYSSA MAE, KPBS NEWS.

>> NOT ALL COMMUNITIES ARE CREATED EQUAL.

>> Reporter: HENRY BASIN HAS COACHED TENNIS LESSONS SINCE THE TO THOUSANDS.

HE HAS NOTICED A DECLINE IN THE UPKEEP OF THE SPACE.

>> I DO MORE MAINTENANCE AROUND HERE THEN I DID SOME TIME AGO.

HE COMES AND REQUESTS ME IF THERE'S SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE PUT UP AND THEY DON'T HAVE THE STAFF TO DO IT.

PUT THE NETS UP.

I CLEAN THE COURSE AFTER EVERY CLASS.

>> Reporter: IN THE NORTHERN NEIGHBORHOODS, THEY FIND THAT MORE PARTICIPANTS ARE ATTRACTED.

THE CITY'S PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT CONTRIBUTES TO THAT EQUITY PROBLEM.

BY POORLY HANDLING LOW INCOME WAIVERS AND NOT -- IN LANGUAGES OTHER THAN ENGLISH.

CITY AUDITOR -- SINCE LARGEST DISPARITIES ARE COMING FROM CONTRACTED PROGRAMS WHICH PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS PAY FOR OUT-OF-POCKET.

THOSE PROGRAMS ARE ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY IN THE NORTHERN PART OF THE CITY AND SUGGESTS TO EXPAND THEMSELVES.

HE ALSO SAYS THE CITY SHOULD CONSIDER EXPANDING FEE WAIVERS AND PRODUCTIONS.

THE SURVEY ALSO FOUND MOST OF THE 2017 SEASON PARKS ARE LOW INCOME OR MIDDLE INCOME AREAS.

NOT WEALTHY PARTS OF THE CITY.

BEESTON SAYS THE DIFFERENCES ARE VERY VISIBLE FOR HIS TENNIS STUDENTS WHEN THEY TRAVEL TO PLAY IN TOURNAMENTS WHETHER IT'S THE NEARBY NOISE OR MAINTENANCE OF THE PARKS.

>> PAY ATTENTION TO WHERE YOU ARE, WHERE YOU COME FROM.

DOOR FACILITY, AND THEN WHEN YOU GO TO A FACILITY OUTSIDE OF YOUR FACILITY, COMPARE THE SITUATION.

HOW ANY OF THEM COMPARE TO YOUR FACILITY.

>> Reporter: THE PERFORMANCE AUDIT PROGRAMMING REPORT WILL BE PRESENTED AT THE CITY OF SAN DIEGO'S AUDIT COMMITTEE ON WEDNESDAY MORNING.
