The District Office is much smaller than it was yesterday, maybe 50, 60 people, half of what we saw yesterday. But the real impact is the number of absences. District was working on the total from yesterday, and is giving that number in a half hour. Well get that to you later. At last count, 1,200 absences yesterday, four times the normal number, costing the district more than 44,000 in one day. The Teachers Union is threatening a strike. It wants a 6. 2 base pay raise. While the district says it can only give 1. 5 . Now heres where the core of the disagreement is. The teachers believe theres 25 million in new revenue. The last three years the district can use to boost their pay. But we spoke with superintendent fred bril this morning. He says thats not how it works. That money is not general fund. It must go to increasing services and programs to boost learning for students, who are English Learners and low academic performance, a group he says makes up more than 60 of the entire student population. He says the last eyears the district has offered more than 9 in ongoing salary and benefit increases and thats the best it can do right now. I cannot make support decisions that will bankrupt the district and put us into state receivership. I worked in oakland when they were under state receivership. I do not want to have a bureaucrat or accountant making decisions that are based on numbers and not children. If we do have a strike, where am i going to do with my kids . Allow them to go into classrooms with teacher substitutes who really arent familiar with their learning . And sonja was also here yesterday, youre looking at video from yesterday. She pulled her three kids out of school and said parents are protesting because they already lost highquality teachers. Talks started spring last year. Now both sides are waiting for the factfinding process where a panel hears both sides and makes a decision. That hearing is set for january 20th. If talks dont work out, thats when a strike could happen. And it will be more than a month after that until findings are made public. The superintendent is hoping to come to a resolution before that. Day two here, plenty of students out of school and with their parents. People not giving up on what they say is right for their district. Live here in san lorenzo, stephanie chuang, nbc bay area news. Kids out of school costing the district money. Stephanie, thank you.

Were going to report later about another problem at chipotle. Donald trump shocked Americans Last night when he said he would barmes limbs from entering the United States. Hes already proposed Registration Centers for american muslims. Hes been condemned by most other candidates. So whatever he says beyond that, might escape notice. But just in case you missed it, he also said he would shut down part of the internet. Trump in the same speech in which he suggested banning muslims said he wanted to meet with bill gates, to, quote, close up the internet. What exactly he meant by that is not clear. And presuming you could close up the internet, its not real clear what bill gates would have to do with that. Gates is largely retired, really has nothing to do with the operation of the internet. In fact, one of the early criticisms of gates is how badly he underestimated the internet. A study conducted by uber says uber drivers like uber. Thats probably not a surprise. But that same survey said the number of drivers has more than doubled in just the past year. That part is amazing. 400,000 people now drive for uber, at least a few hours a week. A third of the brandnew uber drivers who started in the past three months are women. Ibm a bit redfaced this morning over hair dryers.

Now, it was supposed to be a science contest, but women pushed back, saying it was sexist. We do want to point out, ibm is one of the few you Blue Chip Companies run by a woman. But ibm says it missed the mark. Several women tweeted they were too busy designing rockets or curing cancer to hack their hair dry dryer. I get what the woman are saying but what ibm is saying too. Whats a cheap breakable thing that if you missed around with it wouldnt be a big deal as opposed to a tv set. But i think in the end sometimes youve just got to go whatever.

Low clouds come through the bay area, and man, look at this. Were talking about fog and clouds, even still right now at this lunch time hour. So its all because of the storm door opening. We havent seen low clouds like in this season. Stick around all along. Theres the storm system across the pacific northwest. And you can see some clouds drifting on in. Ahead of it, thats the storm door thats open. We are going to start to see showers and thunderstorms move through the bay area as soon as tonight across the north bay. Get ready for it. Were looking at cloud cover across the bay now. You can see temperatures arent going to move a lot. But we will see more sunshine, especially across the south bay. More than we saw actually yesterday. 65 degrees for the south bay. 62 for the peninsula today. The east bay at 63. Meanwhile, the tri valley up to 65. And you can see from sunol still very foggy. San francisco only expecting 59 for today. So the clouds will be with us today and through the evening hours. Look at this, the showers start to move across parts of the north bay around 11 00 tonight. Then tomorrow morning, well see showers across the north bay and really all through the north bay tomorrow during the day, well continue with that light to moderate shower activity. All the way through the evening hours. For us, the rest of the bay area, we will see the showers thursday morning. So your microclimate forecast for today does bring sunshine in here, at least by the afternoon. 65 degrees for san jose. Staying cool at the coastline, and mainly cloudy from pacifica to San Francisco. 55 for ocean beach. Palo alto, youll ma manage sunshine, 63 degrees. Oakland at 63. And the tri valley, more sunshine expected later on this afternoon. Mid 60s for you. All right, lets fast forward this to thursday morning. This is 2 00 in the morning. Youll notice again showers mainly across parts of the north bay. But as we move through the morning hours, the morning commute on thursday will be wet. Were talking about some very heavy rain, ponding on the roadways and the potential for some debris flows and mudslides as the system moves through. Its going to dump the potential of 1 to 2 inches of rain, just in a short amount of time. Friday or thursday night, we get going again with more rain and that pulls out by friday morning. Well start to clear out by friday afternoon. Saturday will be a dry day. But then as we head towards sunday, another storm system moves this way. And thats going to mean for a wet commute for your monday morning. Heres how much rain were expecting. This could be the biggest system of the year. An inch at the valley floor. Same for San Francisco. You get into the north bay. Thats where we could see 1 to 3 inches of rain in the coastal mountains in the north bay could measure 3 to 5 inches of rain, just from this system alone. Also, winter storm watches have been posted for the sierra. Were expecting 2 feet of snow above 7,000 feet and lake level, 15 inches of new fresh snow. So here we go as we get towards thursday. Big storm system moves into the bay area. Thats going to drop our temperatures for the weekend and then as i mentioned, sunday into monday, kris and scott, another storm system. Colder and more rain on the way. All right, anthony, thanks. The biggest of the year, dont forget. Well be right back.

Enroll by december 15th to be covered by january 1st cancer may double a a new stanford study shows that a common treatment for Prostate Cancer may actually double a mans risk of alzheimers disease. Doctors have been using andro general deprivation therapy for decades to fight Prostate Cancers, but men taking the hormones for longer than a year doubled their chances of being diagnosed with alzheimers, compared to men who had had not received that therapy.

A scathing new report faults Central California leaders to not do enough to warn people about dangers in drinking water. Naturally occurring uranium, the same material you would find in power plants and atom bombs showing up in wells across the western United States and agricultural regions like the central valley. Authorities in the valley are doing little to warn or inform the public about the dangers. Now, longterm exposure to uranium raises the risk of cancer. Up next at 11 00, grading public schools. The reason parents are having trouble seeing how well their Childrens School is doing. For years schools in california have been ranked ba well, its the end of an era. For years, schools in california have been ranked on test scores. The system is coming to an end, but the controversy over what replaces it is just beginning. Oh, i know weve been talking about this on the school yard grounds. Jessica aguirre shows how we Measure School success in todays class action. Thank you for coming out for our smarter balanced assessment results meeting. Reporter School Officials in San Francisco are explaining the many changes happening in education. Were implementing new curriculum to go with the new standards, to go with the new tests. And today we visit those sections. Reporter and a new different way to evaluate schools. State law now requires a move away from standardized test scores. It needs to be more than just include more than just the commission. Reporter for 15 years, the api, the academic performance index, has been the yard stick for school success. Its a threedigit number based on test scores. Take this Blue Ribbon School in the east bay. Its api was 945 out of 1,000. A Suburban School in the peninsula, 831. A highpoverty school in San Francisco, 726. It gives one number, and its nice because you can take that number and compare it to another number. But really, its kind of misleading. Reporter the head of the largest Teachers Union in the state is involved in the head of the overhaul. They may not see an api at all. They wont be a ranking system, because theres no point in comparing one school to another school. Its what you really want to look at is the school itself, and then look at multiple indicators in that school. Reporter those multiple indicators could include attendance records and graduation rates. You want to look at all the different kinds of things that actually indicate whether students are learning in that school. So its more than just looking at a test score. Im sympathetic to folks saying we dont want to just be judged on a couple of numbers. I get that. But on the flip side, you know, we accountability is essential to having confidence in our education system. Reporter many advocacy groups across the state say the new system should be first and foremost, easy to understand. The api, with all its faults, was a very simple way to see how your school was doing compared to other schools in the area. And throughout the state. Reporter theyre pushing for a combo that would, they say, blend the best of both worlds. Cant we have a system where sort of similar to the api you can quickly see how your school is doing with a few numbers and then delve deeper. Reporter while experts debate the best way to Measure Schools, this much is clear. It is the dawn of a new era in education. And that was Jessica Aguirre reporting. Sacramento will take up the issue how to Measure Schools in the coming mons and as you might imagine, it is expected to be a heated debate. Now to the latest on the terror attack in San Bernardino. The fbi now says the gunmen had been radicalized for some time, carefully plotting their attack inside their home located an hour outside los angeles. Nbc has the latest on the investigation. Reporter two days before the mass shooting, investigators say syed farook spent hours at this gun range, honing his skills for the massacre that would leave 14 dead and 21 wounded. A terror plot executed by farook and his wife, at that sheen malik, seen entering the u. S. Last year. The fbi says the terrorists had been radical iodinized for quite quite some time. How did that happen, and by whom and where did that happen . And i will tell you right now, we dont know those answers at this point. Reporter with the feds following their trails, maliks begins in pakistan where she was born. Farook was raised in california. Today investigators are looking into a report of an incident several weeks before the attack. Someone matching his description caused a suburbans trying to enter a 21story l. A. Highrise. Why didnt you tell the authorities. Reporter this morning, neither his father or mother are talking. She lived inside this modest home with a couple and their baby, where the fbi now says they stock piled 19 potential pipe bombs. The attack, well planned, but was it wellknown . We want to find out everyone who has who participated in the preplanning, if there was anyone else. Reporter as the fbi pushes forward with its investigation, it is difficult to look past the bloodshed. The doors flew open, and the gunmen came in. Reporter Trudi Raymond was in the Conference Room when farook opened fire. It was constant gunfire. Reporter survivors say farook showed no mercy. Now those inside the room may never have closure. San mateo police are looking into two strange incidents at grocery stores, which were both caught on camera. As nbc bay areas pete sa ratto shows us, its a man dressed as an officer. How the uniform is presented. Reporter the san mateo uniform is warn by pride with officers. Thats why this video, seeing a man impersonate a fellow member of Law Enforcement is upsetting. Hes set to exploit the very trust the public has in our uniform. Reporter Surveillance Footage from november 24th shows a man posing as a san mateo sheriffs county deputy inside of the Crystal Springs shopping center. Police are working closely with the Sheriffs Department to catch him. He was patrolling the store. So he walked all the aisles. Reporter Ricardo Garcia is a manager at the safeway. He says the suspect told the clerk he was there to investigate a theft. The clerk didnt fall for it. And then the suspect asked where the store kept its cash. And thats when she panicked and was like, you know what, im going to call the police. I think just the outfit threw her off is what she told me. It was too baggy. No he had San Mateo County sheriffs patches on, the vest he had had a police patch on the back. He got away before police arrived. Police say he could be connected to an attempted robbery on november 18th at another safeway. But its too early to tell. Certainly if someone wasnt paying closer attention, they might not have caught the discrepancies and could have carried out whatever his intentions were. Well, another health scare linked to chipotle straunlts, this time in boston. We now know 80 Boston College students were sickened on monday. They had all eaten at the same chipotle near campus. And nbcs Natalie Morales goes from there. Reporter this morning, School Officials are confirming that about 30 Boston College students, including members of the mens basketball team, became sick after eating at chipotle mexican grill. The students reported to the Campus Health center with gastrointestinal symptoms. Officials say the common factor, they all ate at the chipotle near campus. The restaurant has been closed temporarily. A slightly annoying and frightening. Reporter it comes amid a nationwide e. Coli outbreak, first identified in portland, oregon, and seattle in october. When chipotle voluntarily closed all 43 of its restaurants in that area out of an abundance of caution. Federal Health Investigators say the outbreak has now expanded to at least six states with 47 of the 52 people suffering from e. Co coli, reporting they ate at the chain. Late monday, chipotle released a statement, saying in part, we do not have any evidence to suggest that this incident is related to the previous e. Coli incident. There are no confirmed cases. E. Coli connected to chipotle in massachusetts. Residents say they hope the outbreak does not permanently affect the popular eatery. I ate there about three weeks ago and i hope its not something endemic to this chain or the restaurant in general. We know the number has been bumped up to 80 people. Just how clean is your favorite restaurant . A colorcoded system in Contra Costa County and Santa Clara County will help you find out. Some say its a long time coming. We explain what to look out for. Reporter if you dine out, you want to know whats happening behind closed doors. I dont want to eat dirty places. Reporter but as of now, in Contra Costa County, all you can see its one sign, from the Contra Costa HealthServices Department is up. Reporter the county Health Department only requires that establishments display proof that they have been inspected. And that a Health Inspection report is Available Upon request. But that could change to a colorcoded grading system to let you know the cleanliness of your favorite food establishment. Put up the grades, like school. Gosh, i dont know. Reporter heres how it would work. A placard would have to be displayed in the window. If you see a green one, it means a history of good inspections. A yellow one, two or more violations. And a red one, the place shouldnt even be open. Supervisor Karen Mitchoff says the ratings will be a sign to all of the countys roughly 4,000 food establishments, including restaurants, food trucks, cafeterias other food vendors. If the county gives the final approval, the colorcoded grading system would have to be visible starting march 1st. Walnut creek, nbc bay area news.

Hoverboards or roller boards are ne so, there is a hot holiday item that is apparently getting even hotter. Hover boards are those roller boards you have seen, one of the most popular gifts so far this year. Some firefighters are actually warning about the dangers, not from falling, but from sparking. Nbc bay areaseen ian cole looks into that. Reporter their popularity among kids, adults and celebrities is soaring. Just as fast as theyre catching on, people say theyre catching fire.

The way they have been manufactured plays the most Important Role in the safety of the battery.

Reporter years later, the hoga was sent here near bow neegs to live out days in the massive reserve. Reporter ron patterson, the owner of Dolphin Charters would take his passengers to see the acres of decaying military ships which became known as the ghost or moth ball fleet. We used to do the moth ball fleet when there were as many as 96 ships, i guess. The tug master was shaving. Reporter he would relay the history of the retired vessels, which included famous warships like the hoeinga and uss iowa. Every ship was like a little textbook of history. Reporter aside from being an attraction seen from the shorelines of martinez and beau nearbia, the ghost fleet became a sacred place for those who served in the military like russ. I saw ajc couple of the same kind of ship i served aboard in 1950s. Reporter several ago, environmental groups including bay keeper sued the federal government, saying the 57 languishing ships were polluting the sassoon bay. The paint was beginning to ship. 20 tons of heavy metal pollution into the bay. As a result, the government began removing the ships, one by one. Theyre being removed from the bay, which means theyre no longer polluting the bay. Reporter the iowa went to Southern California to become a tourist attraction. The hoeinga to a museum in arkansas. But most were dismantled on a nearby island and sold for scrap. There are three left of the original 57. Reporter this once mighty fleet of reserve ships is now down to a trio. Cape blanco, the brighten and the boarda waiting out their final days. These last three ships ared to be removed and dismantled in the coming year, leaving phantoms of memory in place of ghosts.
