francisco. any indication yet of just what might be announced today? >> reporter: the governor's office sent a press release and it basically says this could be centered around readiness, flexibility, and a few other things when it comes to the fight against covid-19. just yesterday many of us were able to walk around without masks across the bay area when it comes to indoor public spaces, one of many many reasons the office says california has led the fight against covid-19 with what they call robust public health measure. he may look at lessons learned and preparations over the last years as part of the covid-19 emergency response package. he did sign a $1.9 billion early action measure to supplement vaccination and testing, to combat misinformation and strengthen our healthcare system. with the recent lifting of the mask mandate though we wanted to know how people are adjusting to it. >> i think it's a little bit too soon for masks to go off. >> i kind of read the room a

oakland where city council is set to decide whether to certify environmental impact report for the a's $12 billion howard terminal development. this comes nearly a month after the planning commission voted to recommend city council certify the report which analyzes environmental impact of the project. the proposed project would build a 35,000 seat ballpark, 3,000 units for housing space, hotel rooms, offices. here is what's key. city council votes and would still need future votes on the development itself and the community benefits package. the meeting is set to go underway at 3:30. >> of course we have support for the project and there is also opposition as well. >> we have seen that throughout this process. today those in opposition plan to hold a rally. we'll have to see how this pans out. >> we'll be watching that vote. thank you. i am anne makovec taking a

live look at san francisco where the mayor is searching for replacements for the three school board members who were recalled in the recent election. we just heard from one of them. he is stepping down early. he has submitted his resignation effective immediately. he will not wait for the election to be certified which was going to take a few weeks because he wants his replacement to be named as soon as possible so the board can try to get on with things and pick up where they left off. the other two, we have not heard from the women as to the future plans, if they are going to go through the process which again will take several weeks for board of supervisors to certify the election results and for the mayor to name and swear in new school board members. we're going to keep our eye on the process. it's time to face a judge again for three smash and grab

students. >> there are so many other communities that are very much like east palo alto that we want to reach like richmond, oakland, stockton. >> reporter: when they started, there were 20 students and two classrooms. last year alone they were serving 3,000 providing classes in hack, hustle, and design to help equip young people with the tools to become successful and leaders of tomorrow. >> let's get you to that dream job, whatever will help you stay here. straight ahead, progress in the pandemic but what comes next? we are live with governor newsom's plan today. a live look outside from our treasure island camera looking at san francisco. 6:26. we'll be right back.
