Back in the classroom, students at more than two dozen Bay Area Schools returned to campus, and even as school kicks off, a lot of districts are still scrambling with staffing, supply issues, and heres a biggie, dwindling enrollment. Nbc bay areas robert handa joins us from san jose with some of those challenges. Reporter no doubt about it, declining enrollment has been a problem trending for many Bay Area Schools for the past five years. And its not the only ongoing issue that needs to be solved. The bright signs show the kind of optimism that comes with a new school year, but its a mixed bag for the 16 Bay Area School districts that started classes today. Declining enrollments is an ongoing problem for many, but thats not the only problem. In reality, supply chain issues and issues with contractors and subcontractors are real. And at the end of the day, we have to Search School today for our secondary and tomorrow for elementary if were ready or not. Reporter the fiveyear trend of declining enrollment hovers over many School Districts that started today. For example, according to eddata. Com, districts such as elk grove elementary in san jose, new haven and newark in alameda county, saw a drop of over 1,000 students in that time. One parent who says he had children in the oak grove district throughout that period blames covid and the cost of living. A lot of people were able to relocate and took their kids with them, but they were still doing the work from home or the education from home. So thats the reason why. People left the area because theres a lot of cheaper areas within california where you can do that. Reporter even palo alto aun guide, as well as some districts in Mountain View and los altos, which actually saw an uptick in student enrollment, still have to worry about drops at individual neighborhood schools and possible program cuts. Its the programs like the arts. You know, theres a point where you need to have enough kids to fill enough classes to justify having the teachers. Reporter some of the superintendents told me they are optimistic about their numbers now that things are getting back to normal after the pandemic. But point out it will take time because when families leave, they dont always return at the same pace. A stark message on vta buses and billboards in the south bay, a childs shoe in a crosswalk covering buses across san jose. The message for drivers is simple. Slow down and keep families safe. Last year the city saw 65 deaths of pedestrians on the streets, almost double the amount of homicides. Although the mayor says trafficrelated deaths are trending down so far this year, they are aiming for vision zero, the citys strategy to eliminate all traffic fatalities and severe injuries. Frankly, even one fatality is too many. And its especially important as mentioned that as we head back to school and we have children walking and biking to and from campus each day, that we put an extra emphasis on the importance of traffic safety. The city is also working to hire more officers to rebuild its Traffic Enforcement unit and investing in hightech cameras around the city.

We want them to get a good start on homework and their teachers and classes. So this really helps out. School supplies are super expensive, and 24 is a lot. More than 150 students were at the giveaway today. They went home with 100 gift cards to help with new clothing and shoes for the school year. That first week at school with all your new stuff is so important. It just kind of sets the tone, gives everyone a nice little equal footing to get off on. It does. Jeff, were talking about dry winds and wildfires in hawaii. We have thunderstorms and humidity here. Our weather flipped. Theyre stuck in a bad situation right now with that hot, dry wind. We are going to have more looks at the weather out there towards the big island coming up later on in our show. I do want to start off with a look at our forecast. As we mentioned, weve had some cooler weather compared to what we had this past weekend when temperatures were in the 90s and 100s. Fog at the coast line, thats kept us with 50s, 60s, 70s. Just a little bit here away from the coastline, then you went to concord, livermore, we still had warm 80s here. Still holding on to 85 right now in livermore. The thing that were tracking is the same system that was with us yesterday. Its just going to linger out here offshore. So the thing that this is going to do is, as it lingers, its going to pull in some humidity and moisture from the south with that counterclockwise circulation. So thats where were going to get the thunderstorm chance from in california. Were also going to get some fog. Let me get you more details on this. Right now the areas getting some of those thunderstorms would be down there toward los angeles, also las vegas. Tomorrow morning, what youre seeing on the map here is all fog. Well begin with low clouds and spotty drizzle from that fog. Then we should see a lot of this really clear back by 10 30 in the morning. Near the bay and coast, lingering clouds. As we roll through tomorrow afternoon, well be under sunshine. Right here across the inland valleys, take your eyes off towards the south and you can see all of this activity thats bubbling up. Thats some of that monsoonal moisture that eventually is going to get real close to us here from 5 00 to 10 00 tomorrow night. Even though this isnt picking up on a major chance for us, thunderstorms can always be a little rogue. You get one developing and it can move pretty fast and pretty close. Too close for comfort. So right now with that monsoonal moisture moving into the central valley, were looking at a slight chance of popup thunderstorms. Again, the better bet is going to be the south and also to the east of us as you roll through tomorrow night, friday morning. Youll see as we head into this weekend, the sierra could get in on. 5 to. 75 inches of rain. Again, right there just to the south of the bay area, well have some of those thunderstorm chances here that would be a little greater. Tomorrow morning, numbers are going to begin here in the 50s on the cool side. Got you down to fine in the south bay. Over to San Francisco, 57. Daytime highs for tomorrow staying right here in the 80s for a lot of the south bay. 84 los gatos. Also mid80s right there for san jose. East bay, 76 in hayward. 86 in concord. Lets take it to the peninsula. A cold 61 in half moon bay. Palo alto 82. San francisco 60s from downtown to the middle. The north bay, 79 in napa. 60s in San Francisco into sunday then warming up. Inland valleys, 20 to 35 chance right now we could get a popup thunderstorm. Well have the radar scanning as we roll through tomorrow and anything gets close, well track that.

Jen then tech has aread to a fine of over 150,000. Earlier this year the company was closing that facility and laying off workers. So far, the company is not commenting. A plea for help from the mayor of new york city. He says the citys compassion for migrants is infinite, but that the resources are not. Over 100,000 migrants have arrived in the city since last spring. Shelters are at capacity and more continue to arrive. Mayor adams renewed his financial appeal to the federal government. He says by next year, the citys expenses are expected to reach over 12 billion for migrant resources alone. May ior adams says hes billions short and needs the feds to pitch in.
