Happening today San Franciscos school board may approve a big change when it comes to the Spring Semester grades. Theyre planning to vote on a pass or no pass grading system. This would only apply to the current semester due to obvious circumstances. Several other districts are doing the same this spring including san jose and berkeley unified schools.

All that Food Assistance to families. Well check in with today in the bays kris sanchez this morning. You see this need. It shows it all year round. Reporter yeah, but definitely the need has deepened now that families are needing that assistance as well, laura. When oakland unified passed that million meal mile mark, they passed it by almost 100,000 more meals. So they are distributing a lot of food in oakland and really districts around the bay area. The Food Distribution is a life line for families whose children qualify for the free or reduced meals at school and now that campuses are closed districts have tried to find a way to get that food to those kids. Staff is providing assistance for the families of 14,000 students through the school meals program. The Alameda County food bank and many other charities. That is one district for illustration. I want to show you a look at the bigger picture. There is a 98 increase in demand for feeding america made up of 200 food banks nationwide. 98 increase. Some there are 400 Food Distribution sites in ten bay area counties according to stanfords Big Local News project.

In san jose, kris sanchez, today in the bay. Right, for those that are selfemployed. In the meantime were moving along on this Tuesday Morning and im looking forward to another nice day outside. You saytoday, kari. Were looking at some of our temperatures reaching up to 90 degrees. If youre calling your friends and family across the country, it makes it hard to stay inside in areas where it does traditionally get very cool during the winter. Were seeing a surge of very warm air across the plains states. At least overall we see the Severe Weather threat winding down. Storms over parts of eastern texas as well as minnesota and then over toward the midatlantic coast. Here its been very quiet and very warm. Its nice to know well have a cooldown in the forecast. Head over to mike you have an update on whats happening for the morning commute. I am, kari. Just as i finished the last ward of my report i saw headlights heading south on 101. They opened that lane now and crosses over the alemany project. On the left side theyre making Good Progress on the second half, the southern half of the construction project for the structure. The rest of the bay shows a smooth drive, that speed limit in place for the one lane. The rest of the bay moving at 65. Ill talk about the trivalley. I see a blip coming up. You remember when everyone was going out collecting the toilet paper . If you were one of them, are you done stockpiling that paper . Coming up well tell you about those items that are still hard to find plus some surprising products that are experiencing suddenly high demand. Its easy to find gasoline. Theres plenty of it. Gas is cheaper now than when i was in high school. And we continue to celebrate bay area graduates who are going wut an official ceremony. This morning in our great grads segment we are saluting the 12 high school students. Youre moving on to a new chapter. Very exciting. Freedom, independence. Share a picture of your graduate and you might see it on tv. Look up marcus and myself on facebook and post it there. Youre watching today in the bay. 6 11. Theyre our neighbors. And theyre our friends. Theyre our parents. Our brothers and sisters. And our children. But now, they are more than that. They are forever our heroes, too. At prudential, were fortunate to know and serve them. And were grateful to the heroic men and women working on the front line to move our nation forward. To all the heroes, we thank you. The time is 6 14. Lets get a live look outside in dublin as the sun rises temperatures are getting ready to warm up pretty fast today. It goes from 55 degrees at 8 00 to 83 at 2 00 today, but not all of the bay area will see temperatures this warm. Well talk about the range in temperatures and where we may set a record coming up. And good morning. Very happy tuesday to you. The second round of Small Business loans got under way on tuesday, and it was pretty much the same old story. Very slow computer systems, a lot of frustration for Small Business. Theyre disappointed the second version of the Paycheck Protection Program with extra precautions put into place to make sure theyre really getting the businesses that are getting the money not large chains is it going very slowly. Were hoping to hear more from the Treasury Department about how many applications were processed. The head of americas largest Bank Association went on twitter to say his member banks are deeply frustrated. Hes raised the issues at the highest level and until theyre resolved americas banks will not be able to help Small Businesses. I know that is not the most scathing twitter message you have ever read but think about it. It is the head of one of americas largest banking associations calling out the government on twitter is significant. Speaking of checks, theres an interesting debate over the checks that are going to the unemployed. An ugly debate. Remember the new stimulus laws as much as 600 in extra federal money to the states unemployment payment. It only lasts until july but take a look at the figures. The government estimates the average unemployment check is 978, but the average American Worker was making 957 a week. The bad news some say is that could incentivize Business Owners to lay their employees off. The good news, though, the average american is actually getting as much or more money assuming, of course, they can get to the unemployment office. The stock market moving upwards a bit. We saw our fourth day of progress on the dow yesterday as states open up. But that rally may not last. Scientists are warning the states are opening too early and may be back to where they started. Marcus and laura, oil prices are at new lows. In fact, 1986 lows, which means thats when i was filling my car when i was in high school. I was paying 99 cents a gallon. Its 1. 77 now nationwide, higher in california. I ran through the calculator. Cheaper now than it was when i was filling my car. We were talking about my car earlier. This is not my car but i found a picture of a car, a 1972 Cadillac Sedan deville, 17 feet long, 7 feet wide and gets 12 miles to the gallon. Thats what i was going to say, those cars were heavy back then. Thats what we call a pit mobile. Thats why my parents wanted it. In the biggest, heaviest car they could find. You are the man. My mom had one of those, and my dad said i just saw your moms car driving by because you could barely see me over the steering wheel. Scott, you are still the man. New this morning it turns out items like toilet paper and paper towels are not getting any harder to find but not any easier as well. The latest nielsen Shopping Survey indicates a leveling off in the sales of most Grocery Store essentials but some are still booming including Meat Alternatives which have doubled sales in recent weeks and nondairy milk items and, of course, sand sanitizer. Look, if you watch nbc bay area with your antenna we have some Important Information for you.

Listen up, mothers day is now less than two weeks away and this may come as no surprise but countless gift ideas are a big phenomenon. Experts say Monthly Subscription boxes can be a good idea. Ill have to think about that one. Or maybe a digital gift like a master class. Of course you cant go wrong with flowers or chocolates for mothers day and youre probably going to have to buy those from a seller online. And, you know what, handmade gifts are great, too, from the kids. Maybe they can get a little help in that department. You can make a card. Or a phone call. Yeah, exactly. Now i understand why my mom used to say that. I just love to spend time with my kids. Like mike was saying, a phone call would do. Im spending a lot of time with those kids. You are. Here you go again, mom. Its mothers day every day around here lately. Lets get a look at the forecast. 6 19 this morning. Kari, youre telling us another nice one but it is going to be a little warmer for us out there. Yeah, maybe this mothers day youll want to say, hey, mom, you go to your room and ill take care of the kids for a little while. That may be a nice break away from the family. Its been hard to find those escapes now when were all just trying to crowd around the air conditioning because the temperatures are been so warm and in some spots set a record today. The record high is 86 but thats also the forecast for today. Were looking at highs in the upper 80s. If we make it up to 89 well set a new record. It will still be well above normal. As we check out our temperature trend in martinez going from 63 at 8 00 to the mid80s by early in the afternoon. I think well reach into the upper 80s and it will be a day it warms up fast but also slow to cool off later this evening. It looks like theres a pretty big storm in the pacific. The unfortunate thing is well miss out on the rain as it moves to the north. It will hit spots like portland, even vancouver, while we are going to get at least a push of cooler air. That will push the warm air out and as we go into the weekend going to feel milder. A little bit better and the way we should be for early may as we start to get some milder air. Not a drop of rain with upper 80s today coming down to the 70s. As we head over to you, mike, youve been tracking the commute. Whats going on right now . Overall the big picture shows green sensors. We saw some early slowing and now its focused north 680 where there is a crash reported. I hope it does not involve the construction crew, and i dont think it does. Well follow that. The update, Golden Gate Park we have jfk drive, a portion of that closed and its similar to the portion that closes for sunday streets. Give folks more of a chance to walk around. If you live in the area, thats more area to walk and bike and roller blade. Stay near your home, and then we have the reopening one lane south 101 at 280. Back to you. Thank you very much.

The salon owner is insisting she was there only to have her old nails removed but has issued an apology calling it a lapse in judgment saying she did not intend to take personal privilege with asking others to sacrifice. New this morning l. A. County Sheriffs Department is the latest agency to come around to the idea of reusing n95 masks. Machines to fully disinfect the masks.

Perfectly within the shelterinplace guidelines. Shes not alone in this. Others who are planning to defy that shelter at home order. Youre watching today in the bay. And right now at 6 30 the opening bell the New York Stock Exchange where the dow is opening at 415 points right now. Futures point to a higher hoping and follows the big gains from the stock market yesterday. And the u. S. Is on the brink of a grim milestone nearing 1 million confirmed cases of covid19. According to Johns Hopkins university thats what theyre saying and there are certainly more than 3 million cases worldwide for us. And the white house says it will work with governors to ramp up testing. Ten states are start to go reopen against federal guidelines under pressure from businesses and the unemployed workers. Six bay area counties are under a shelter at home order until june 1st. Be sure to pack your facemasks in your carryon. Beginning next week all jetblue employees and passengers will be required to wear the masks while onboard. Its the first u. S. Airline to make that big rule. A very good morning to you. Thanks so much for joining us. Hey. Look, full disclosure, we had a little technical difficulty out there. What are you talking about . This is called working from home. No, my computer basically im looking into the camera but its my computer, and its deciding to freeze right in the middle of a story. I didnt know if you were going to be there or not. I know. No, im here, its just my computer still wants to snooze, i think, a little bit. Anyway, thanks for a couple stories, marcus, you read this one. Full disclosure, just got to get through it. Were keeping it going. Meteorologist kari hall is keeping track of the forecast today which youve been telling us will be another warm one. Yes, so right now is the time to try to let the house cool off without having to run that air conditioning today. Were going to start out with temperatures in the low 50s in the trivalley and also looking at some upper 50s elsewhere. As we check out our temperature trend in concord, you see that trend going up from the upper 50s to the low 80s by this afternoon and some of us will be hitting the upper 80s. A few spots even reaching 90 degrees but thats going to be a contrast compared to the coast where we stay in the 60s today. Ill talk about the heading as we get closer to the weekend coming up in a few minutes. Thanks, kari. A vacaville hair salon owner says she will reopen today despite state and local orders. She cant wait any longer. Today in the bays Sharon Katsuda live for us in vacaville. This really sounds like a difficult decision no matter how you cut it. Reporter absolutely, marcus. It will be interesting to see what police decide to do about all of this, whether to look the other way, arrest or fine the store owner for not following the stayathome order. Many have announced plans to extend the order until june 1st. Here in Solano County through may 17th, lia rivera opened in vacaville when she was pregnant wi h third child, and she says theres no way shes letting it slip away now. Shes tried every Financial Assistance Program Available and received nothing. She and another barbershop owner nearby say theyll be careful and are ready if the cops come today. Everyone that enters will have a mask. I believe its a constitutional right to pursue life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Reporter but the law says only essential businesses such as Grocery Stores and gas stations can be open. Rivera says the two stylists will practice safe distancing when they tend to appointment only clients. With clients theyll have to come close, and thats the concern by health officials. They want everyone to still stay six feet apart unless youre at home and with immediate family. Later today Governor Newsom is expected to address more details on how he plans to reopen businesses across the state. Reporting live, im Sharon Katsuda, today in the bay. Well be interested in what he has to say, thank you. Today selfemployed people who are out of work can apply for Unemployment Benefits through the federal c. A. R. E. S. Act. I want to check in with today in the bays kris sanchez. She has more detail on all of that. Reporter a lot of folks have been waiting anxiously for this day, those applications can be submitted starting at 10 00 this morning. Past experience is any indication, folks are going to have to be very patient through this process as well. People who are selfemployed will join in that steady stream of people filing for Unemployment Benefits and people who might not have been eligible under regular state Unemployment Insurance guidelines including people who perhaps havent worked long enough to be eligible or people who have already used those benefits up. We are talking about freelancers, gig and contract workers, who are either unemployed or under employed at this point. The benefit is 167 on the minimum and the maximum is 450 a week. Those benefits are retroactive to february when the pandemic began. Applicants approved will qualify for the 600 a week federal benefit, thats the one coming through the c. A. R. E. S. Act. Benefits are good for 39 weeks ending december 26th unless the benefits are extended. If you are an applicant who already has one of those edd, Employment Department debit cards, then if you qualify and you are approved you could see the benefits coming to that debit card in two days rather than the more traditional weeks of waiting. Kris sanchez, today in the bay. The city of berkeley is stepping up to help Small Business owners trying to make it. Leaders approved 1. 8 million in grants that will go to 400 businesses and art groups. Those grants are being handed out from the Berkeley Relief Fund which the city launched last month. We, big hit due to covid19. So many restaurants are doing what they can to keep up and keep in business. Joining us this morning is lisa hauckalvarez, this restaurant has been around since about the mid60s, right, your family has owned it for 30 years, lisa . Thats correct. Weve been here for 30 years now. Thats a long time. Weve put our whole lives in this place, a lot of memories and hard work. Tell us how things have been for you and your restaurant. Youve been serving takeout. About a year ago we opened these brandnew private event rooms that are sitting empty. We owe thousands back in deposits for celebrations that cant happen and had tho have b here 10 to 20 years with us. Its been hard breaking. What are you going to do except push up your sleeves and make a new plan. Were doing takeout. The four of us come down here and we answer phones and we take orders and package food and thank our customers for their support. Were fortunate. It shows how important it is to support local businesses. Now did you apply for the federal relief fund, and whats the status of that for you . We did. We did a lot of research and were ready to go. We applied within an hour of it becoming available. Like everyone else, we didnt get anything. And thats the tough thing. You did everything you were supposed to but youre one of the ones that hasnt received that funding yet. Thats correct. Were stuck with thousands in bills for vendors and rent. Its a tough hole to dig yourself out of. A lot of hard working Small Business owners trying to do their best and a lot of Wonderful Community to support us. We just have to take one day at a time. We support you. I know you are supporting, despite all of this, through the help of frontline you are supporting to help feed some of the frontline workers. Good sam, for example, down there. And you can get a little bit of money from that as well. Correct. We have feed the need and feed our heroes. And then, also, we just got onboard with front line foods last week. These nonprofits were developed to help support restaurants by placing orders and then we deliver the food to the hospitals and the frontline heroes. Its been a really rewarding experience, too. To see the faces with the little masks on eating our food. Its a winwin experience. The funding runs low in these nonprofits. They really need our help. Exactly. And the restaurants do as well. We thank you for getting up early and taking the time to join us. Continued luck to you. Thank you so much. And come to the wine cellar. Thats right. Theres takeout. Right. We have a pretty good menu. Thanks, laura. I bet you do. Thanks, lisa. Thanks, byebye. Its tuesday takeout. Does that mean i dont have to cook tonight . I think so.

The lawsuits argue that because students are now away from campus theyre not able to utilize many of the things student fees pay for. President trump has skipped another Coronavirus Press conference. But in the end he was still out there in the rose garden in front of television cameras. Scott mcgrew joins us with more. Good morning. We have been talking in the past couple of days about how he had been avoiding those news conferences. There had been a Coronavirus Briefing scheduled for yesterday but the white house canceled it. He spent time talking about the victims of coronavirus. This after the Washington Post criticized him for not taking more time to talk about the human loss. Here is the president. Today i would like to provide, we continue to mourn with those whose loved ones have been stolen from us by the invible as one family, this Great American family, and we do grieve. We also stand in solidarity with the thousands of americans who are ill and waging a brave fight against the virus. Were doing everything in our power to heal the sick. We were showing you texas nail salons earlier in the show. Several states are opening up at least a little bit and that alarms the white house. In georgia there was criticism by President Trump himself for that state opening too early. So what youre get something a lot of mixed messages. Monday he thought some schools should open this month. That goes against what medical experts are saying. Hes publicly criticizing georgia for being too lax while attorney general barr is saying the federal government may get involved if states are too restrictive in their lockdown. In the meantime as we talk about open or closed it really is all about testing. Weve only done about 6 million tests nationwide. The white house said its hoping for hoping for 7 million more each month. But medical experts say we would need about that many tests per day to get the economy open by august. What the white house hopes to do is 3 of what we need to do to be open by late summer early fall. Were tracking everything happening on twitter including the progress on those tests. Im scottmcgrew. Thanks so much, scott. Now lets talk about something good for a san diego couple. A san diego man pops the question with an Engagement Ring given to his grandmother in 1918. The world was enduring a similar al all the more special. Lu well, here we go on this Tuesday Morning getting through the day. Meteorologist kari hall has been tracking the forecast. I guess if people will go out with social distancing, sunscreen might be in order for today. Yeah, and drink lots of water. Try to get out. In dublin all bets are off. It will be a warm one. Were starting out with a cool morning with some mid50s and we see that trend going up. By noon in the mid70s. Our normal High Temperature is 71 degrees so were going to be way above that. As we get a look at where were headed for the day expected to reach into the mid to upper 80s. Thats what well see. I wouldnt be surprised if spots like brentwood and fairfield hit 90 degrees today. And the good news is that we are going to have a cooldown. As we look at the overall pattern there is a storm system approaching. We will have a push of cooler air that shifts that wind over to an ocean breeze and that will help cool us off. The Climate Prediction Center says here in the bay area we are going to have above normal temperatures and that will especially be the case across Southern California with below average rainfall. Theyre saying for the next couple of weeks that were still looking at some dry weather and we know that in Northern California we are now in a severe drought in some spots that drought is extreme. So looking at over the next seven days still no rain in the forecast but at least we will cool off going from the upper 80s to the mid70s over the next several days so thats something well be watching as we head deeper into spring.
