she knows closing schools isn't easy. the school her children and grandchildren attended, marshall elementary, is also on the chopping block. >> i've never seen a school that the parents didn't love, never. no matter how the circumstances is, no matter where the school is located, that population loves the school. so whatever decision we're going to make, we're going to have a lot of people unhappy. >> reporter: but schools on the closure list aren't giving up. eric miller's taught at santa fe since 1987. he's not ready to say good-bye. >> you get an attachment to a place. i've had kids in my class whose parents were in my class. it's a multigenerational place. >> reporter: we are back here live. now, these children you're looking at are from maxwell park elementary. but all five

again, all the seats are taken. they're not letting anybody else in. there are actually a lot of people standing on the side of the building in the hallways. some parents are very upset that they

child and a dog at laurie meadows park. she was even more shocked to hear that those dogs were her 2-year-old boxers. jordan died at the park. bella died at the animal hospital. >> we all got to say good-bye to bella. we got to hug her and kiss her and tell her we loved her. and then we put her to sleep. >> reporter: as she grieves, torres is hoping police will change their policy for the future and allow more time for animal control to arrive at the scene. >> they were called at 4:25. they got there 20 minutes later, they got there and the dogs were already shot. >> reporter: but the san mateo spokesman said in that moment, officers responded to what they considered imminent danger. >> at the time that those officers had to make their decision, they had been told that these dogs had attack add small dog and a little girl. they personally observed these dogs trying to bite people there at the park. and they were engaging those dogs and those dogs were charging at them. >> reporter: the peninsula humane society will conduct the investigation into this case and then make recommendations to the police department. in the meantime, the officers who shot the dogs will remain on duty because the victims in this case were dogs and not people. in san mateo, kris sanchez, nbc bay area news. the big story in the east bay, more than just brownies and cookies, the bake sale

the hopes it will spark opportunity. >> i think that if the event goes off the way that it's described, i think our business will definitely grow and we'll hire more people. >> reporter: rick shaw

clean power finance. sometimes if you go whale watching, you might never see a whale. the same applies for bears. we sent our choppers on a bear hunt in marin county. but the pilot had no luck tracking down a bear. in fact, no one's seen this bear or bears, plural. but they know they're there. workers have seen a black bear deposits. surprisingly not in the woods but near lake kent just east of point reyes. bears used to be common in the area, but sightings are now area. the last one was about eight years ago. it could be a play to bring the winter olympics back to the bay area. two legendary lake tahoe ski resorts are now one. squaw valley is merging with alpine. it combined 6,000 acres of ski terrain. customers can buy a dual pass to access both resorts. squaw valley was the site of the 1960 winter olympics. >> maybe they'll try to bring back the olympics in 2022. >> no sign of any snow right now. a warm-up is on the way. >> jeff ranieri is here. we covered on olympics in italy many years ago, do you remember that? >> yes, in torino. the first time i met you. >> and you followed me here. >> yes, i did. let's take a look at the temperatures across the bay area. we had quite a bit of warming, anywhere from 5 to 10 degrees warmer down to san francisco. a little shift in the wind can mean a lot across the bay area. some of the hottest weather in the east bay with 89 in livermore for that official high, 88 in fairfield. 88 in napa. 72 in san francisco. fog-free looking around downtown. that's the case up and down the entire coastline as these numbers have warmed to, well, a little bit above average here, especially throughout the coastline and the peninsula. right now, 74 san francisco. 84 in san mateo. we've seen little cooling here from those daytime highs that were reported just about an hour ago. the winds are slowly shifting now from that onshore wind we had for a lot of this weekend to now more of this northwesterly flow at the coastline. a lot of the inland spot, coming directly out of the north continuing to help these numbers to bump up. it's scouring out any kind of fog that's trying to develop. we have some fog. but it's well offshore at this point. it's going to have no means of getting in here tonight. fog-free conditions tonight as high pressure starts to strengthen across the western half of the u.s. bringing more 90s tomorrow for, yes, a hotter wednesday. if today was too hot for you to handle, tomorrow is going to be a day for you to head inside. tomorrow morning, mid-60s to start. 10:00, 11:00 in the morning, it's going to be warm. a lot of upper 70s and low 80s. look at this, back towards the coastline, plenty of low to mid-70s here from san francisco down to san mateo. we've been talking about this rain. so i thought i'd give you a peek into our crystal ball. by 6:00 a.m. next monday, a huge pattern shift looks to take place. look at all this moisture out here in the pacific. tuesday of next week, right now, a pretty significant bull's-eye right across northern california. this could be one of our first significant storms of the season. we'll update you as we continue throughout the weekend. this is a pretty decent chance for a good-size storm next week. if you don't like the heat, much cooler for you coming up in the seven-day forecast. >> very good. we see green on that radar. still ahead, was he a caring or reckless doctor? we have details about the opening day of the dr. conrad murray trial over the death of michael jackson. political analyst larry girsen will be here with details of a new lawsuit involving teachers and the state budget. and our education nation series continues with a look at a special schoolkeha t kept ids e dicketch as theba asansed leinjury. in the clock is ticking for a medical marijuana advocates who want to overturn the pot law passed by the san jose city council two weeks ago. today was the second reading of that law which caps the number of collectives at ten, requires on-site cultivation and manufacture of pot-based products and restricts zoning. if the law is to be overturned, advocates need to draft a referendum and collect 30,000 signatures all before october 27th. at the same time, a group of collective owners are working to put an initiative before voters to let them decide how many dispensaries the city should host. there are difficult decisions to be made. public education in california is facing two big issues, one for k through 12 kufunding. let's bring in our own professor, larry gerston. several education groups filed a lawsuit against the state today contending the state owed public education more than $2 billion. what's this about and is it a hail mary? >> reporter: this has to do with the deal that democratic lawmakers made with the california teachers association to get their buy-in for the state budget a few months ago. legislators promised billions of dollars in funds to help other local governments meet budget, including the cost of housing state prisoners. the contrata went along with th bill as long as there was a bill saying there would be no teacher layoffs regardless of reduced funding. of course, teachers' salaries are the biggest cost in any educational process. it shows how the education bloc is anything but united, not to mention the power of special interest. >> the higher education level now, word is that governor brown may decide on the fate of the dream act at any moment. this is one of the big bills on his desk. >> reporter: it's more controversy here and it's really getting to the immigration issue, raj. that's it exactly. the dream act would allow undocumented immigrants to attend uc, scu and community colleges and be eligible for financial aid. as it is, nearly 400,000 students receive stipends averaging about $4,500 per year. it helps a bit with their education. illegal immigrants attending public colleges would account for about $13 million annually, according to the legislative study. now, if brown signs the bill into law, sure, he's going to please latinos who are a big part of his base. if he vetoes the base, he's going to please conservatives who believes the state should not coddle illegal immigrants. >> which way is he going? >> reporter: brown's angered latinos. so it's hard to imagine that he'd do it again. watch for him to sign that bill. >> thank you, larry. no stopping it, more prisoners are heading to your local county jail and san francisco wants to make sure it's ready. this afternoon, supervisor scott weiner and malia cohen along with the district attorney introduced a watchdog commission to develop sentencing strategies and prioritize public safety in the city. san francisco is preparing for a state law which goes into effect this saturday moving more low-level offenders to the county jails to ease overcrowding. still ahead, here it comes, the iphone 5, we think. apple getting ready to launch its

family never gave up hope to find her. nbc bay area's elyse kirshner is there for us. >> reporter: family members say this is their last chance to thank loved ones and the community for bringing michelle le home. the past four months have been a roller coaster for le's family. she disappeared in may at a heyward hospital. they raised more than $100,000 in reward money and organized dozens of search efforts. during one of those searches on september 17th, her body was discovered on a dirt road in an unincorporated area between pleasanton and sunol. she would have graduated here in oakland in december. she was a nursing student at the program here. and friends say she was looking forward to her future. family, friends, including her sorority sisters, even strangers, all are here tonight remembering michelle. >> this is probably the hardest thing that i've ever done and experienced. >> reporter: how do you want her remembered? >> michelle was just always so giving and caring and she had the biggest heart. >> michelle is just like my daughter. it's kind of hard. but at least we have closure. and for the family, we just keep praying to give us strength and support. i love her dearly and these girls are like wonderful. >> reporter: authorities have charged le's former high school friend, gisele esteban in her murder. this vigil, which is open to the public will be going on until 8:00 this evening. there will also be a private memorial service for michelle later at some other date. for now, we're live in oakland. we have a follow-up now to a story from last week. a sunnyvale woman is charged with the murder of her 9-month-old child. she's the mother of a child found dead on friday afternoon inside the apartment of the 800 block of san aliso avenue. the toddler was killed by asphyxiation. she was pulled from an overpass presumably attempted to kill herself. the embattled b.a.r.t. police department faced tough questions from state lawmakers today. the state assemblyman led the oversight this morning in sacramento. a look into b.a.r.t.'s training policy and procedure. it stems from the fatal shooting of an unarmed man, oscar grant. b.a.r.t.'s general manager and the police chief both testified today and made some suggestions, including equipping all officers with lapel cameras. >> this device when activated, it will record all audio and visual incidents, encounters involving an officer and a potential suspect. we have actually identified grant money to fully purchase cameras for all our personnel. >> oscar grant's uncle also spoke today acknowledging that b.a.r.t. has increased training and overhaul procedures but the training is moving too close. it also recommended that b.a.r.t. officers receive additional training. apple has made it official. they're about to unveil a new i-device. let's bring in scott budman. all signs pointing to a new phone. >> reporter: it's true, janelle. apple will host an event at its headquarters next tuesday. no specifics from the company. but if apple does present a new phone, expect the iphone to drop in price. if we see a new phone on the 4th, you can buy it within a couple of weeks as apple ramps up into the holiday season which means more business for apple, a likely boost for apple shareholders and on a wider scale, a new opportunity for companies who make their living off phones and apps, like this one -- the music business is huge, social networking is huge, but so far, facebook, google and apple, while trying, have struggled to make their music social and easy to use. enter rexly, a san francisco start-up that wants you to be able to share the music you love on the go with your iphone. >> your friends are the biggest influence on what you listen to and buy. >> reporter: joel is rexly's ceo. his company makes a free app that let's you share you music with whomever you want without ever having to leave the comfort of your itunes playlist. >> we built this for the mass market, people who enjoy music, who enjoy itunes and like to find and buy new music there but may be too busy to go through the store. >> reporter: you can share on facebook or twitter with as many people as you'd like. and there's no need to move your music because it's already on itunes sitting on your iphone or ipod. >> there are 16 million songs out there. what do you want to listen to right now -- it's a miracle of technology, but it's a stress from a consumer psychology standpoint. >> reporter: itunes is already the most popular place to find and buy music. now there's an easier way to share what you have, one song at a time. rexly just launched. you can get it for free in the apple app store. the company makes money by taking a chunk of every sale that happens when friends share music. >> always something new. new tonight at 6:00, if you ever wanted to own a solar plant, this might be your chance. solyndra got the go ahead to auction off one of its plants next month. the plant was partially financed with federal loans. you might know the story. the department of energy is due to hand over more documents to house republicans tomorrow. the documents detail the role of the obama administration in the solyndra company. it's a bad mix, the cost of health care has more than doubled for american families since 2001. but here's the problem. health care costs continue to rise but wages are not. in a report released today, the kaiser family foundation which advocates health care reform says premiums for family coverage now average more than $15,000 a year. that's a 9% jump from just last year alone. at the same time, insurance is covering less, requiring workers to pay higher co-payments and deductibles. >> what we call health insurance in our country is really changing now. it's getting less and less comprehensive every year with higher and higher deductibles. and we can have a debate about whether that's a good thing or whether that's a bad thing and experts disagree. but one thing we know is it's cheaper for employers. so they're latching on to that option to try and hold their premiums down. >> employers say rising insurance costs forced them to choose between providing good benefits and giving raises. opening statements began today in the trial of dr. conrad murray. he's accused of having a hand in the death of pop star michael jackson. prosecutors label murray as incompetent and say he violated the standard of care by giving jackson a surgical anesthetic propofol. they focused on murray's actions weeks before jackson's death, playing a disturbing audiotape of an incoherent-sounding jackson. >> when people leave my show, i want them to say, i've never seen nothing like this in my life. >> murray's defense team said the doctor tried to wean jackson away from the drugs and suggested it was jackson himself who administered the fatal dose. murray is facing one count of manslaughter. if convicted, he could go to prison for four years. you can watch the murray trial on comcast cable channel 186. still ahead at 6:00 now, the pop star who got a scolding from a farmer while shooting a music video. and our education

alto unified school. it was established in 1924 and has 500 full-time students. another 500 kids come to hospital school when they're in treatment. brothers and sisters are welcome, too, if the family is far from home. the teachers work with their home districts, give standard e standardized tests and the s.a.t.s. and when the kids are too sick to come to the classroom, the teachers join them at the bedside. >> it starts to have an effect on their attitude about their health. >> reporter: when the children are finally well enough to leave the hospital school and go back to their regular neighborhood school, the outreach continues. the staff here works with the staff there to make sure the children are academically on target but they also help to make sure that the transition is smooth and that the teachers there can answer some of the more difficult health questions as well. >> take away five from eight. >> reporter: soon he will be well enough to go to his neighborhood school part-time. when he does, a hospital counselor will pay him a visit. >> she does talks and presentations to the entire school. it helps everybody to feel more comfortable with it. little kids sometimes will think, maybe i can catch cancer. >> i think it will be a little hard to leave this place. but also i can't wait to make friends that will not just come to the hospital for some time and then in a few weeks leave. >> reporter: though she misses the kids when they're gone, she's happy to see them getting back to being regular kids and students. >> it's the most beautiful challenge i've
