School campuses in california will remain closed for the rest of the school year governor newsome making that announcement is the state is bracing for a surge of coronavirus cases but the governor also stressed that doesnt mean that its necessarily the end of the school year. We are preparing to set our School System up where we are increasing. Class time but increasing it at home and fulfilling our obligations through Distance Learning. And other mechanisms to make sure that were educating our kids but not doing so physically on school sites. Well the States Education leaders are preparing children across the state to distance learned for the rest of the school year. The state superintendent for public instruction Tony Thurmond is hoping the Distance Learning will accelerate everyones education. He unveiled specific guidelines on distancelearning for district leaders, the states also providing additional weapon ours and resource, teachers will be providing a women are that is focus on how to provide special education through Distance Learning. I like to thank all those who are helping to put it together our special education workforce, california, teachers association, the staff of the California Department of education in the state board of education. For coming forward to help us answer a question has not been answered in this way before how do we deliver special education through Distance Learning more than 5,000 people have signed up mostly educators to hear about best practices about lesson plans about modules for how we deliver special education. Well a lot of parents now wondering about Summer School for their students other children in a no decision is made by the districts. Just yet for Summer School signups and other requirements. Governor newsome also announced an Important Partnership with google that will help Distance Learning for all 6 Million Students in california google will be offering 100,000 free wi fi hotspots and will also donate 4,000 chromebooks for at least 3 months. The governor says about 20 of california students do not have access to the internet nor devices to help them get online. Well San Francisco, Unified School District says that thousands of its students are having to borrow laptops to begin Distance Learning. The district distributed more than 5200 laptops to students in grades 3 through 12. But it estimates that it may need to distribute another 5,000 over the next week. All schools in the city have been closed since march, 16. And the district says that teachers are preparing to begin distancelearning on april 13th. Well parents are beginning to question the usefulness of Distance Learning in the south bay parents of students at the san jose Unified School District. They believe that their district just isnt doing enough. Across the Country Schools are utilizing Virtual Learning and hosting class online. However, parents worry that their children will start to you know fall behind with the lack of formal education and assignments during a shelter in place. Its better than nothing but its a oneway communication so the teacher might put something up and say take a look at it email were massacre if you have any questions and ill get back to you but theres nothings formal theres no attendance being taken there is no one. Place for the kids to go to meet. It just seems like its. Could be one long holiday really were concerned shes a sophomore in college is really. On her her brain regularly, shes really into school. Shes a great student and so this is very frustrating for all of us. When kron 4 reached out to the district on wednesday. We were told that their top priority is the safety of their students families and staff and that they say that theyre actively working on getting more Electronic Devices out to those students who may still need access to school materials. They also at the teachers are reaching out remotely with lessons each week over the parents we spoke to they say they were told that the lessons are optional and dont apply to their grades. Well happening today, certain Grocery Stores all across california will be offering special hours just for the First Responders kron fours will tran live in san jose with the latest swell.

You have access if youre a First Responder, including medical personnel to 205 stores throughout california and northern nevada. These are lucky stores food, max and save mart. The owner of the company. They talked with First Responders and just in those conversations they realize wait a minute were forgetting perhaps the most important people right now fighting the pandemic the First Responders the doctors and the nurses they have a personal life as well, but when the time they get to the stores a lot of items are gone or they just cant wait in those long lines that we have seen over the past couple of weeks if not month. So they are making the special hours for them. Heres how it works so every store obviously they have different hours just to stock and restock a lot of the items but if youre a First Responder and lets face it robin if you walk in there with your police uniform, you dont have to show your credentials. But you get the shot one hour before it opens and one hour after it closes this story in particular open up at 6 oclock this morning so starting today and every day you can come in an hour before it opens and closes going there and then you can shop without being bothered you can get in and out very quickly obviously to practice social distance and if youre not in your uniform dont worry about it, im sure that you have a badge with you at all times just presented to them.

We also see some light to the far right hand side of your screen there about to join us not a lot we have a breeze of you can make up the flag at all there. But we are getting some breezy conditions as our robin was talking about on the bay bridge. Span there when you get across the bay itself.

Temperatures still slow going in spots where 36 chilly degrees for napa and matching a chilly 39 for livermore 40 concord 46 for antioch in the mid 40s along the east bay shoreline 48 for San Francisco in Half Moon Bays graduated up to 42. And were a little cooler across the district for the most part, although fairfield surprisingly jumps out there a little bit more mild thats do probably to the fact that we have some local winds at work. Most the 3 things that weve been seeing there have been concentrated there around the delta county in off the eastern Contra Costa County as well. So future cast for waiting waiting here we get to saturday morning and the clouds develop with rain upstream. Yeah. So the rain will probably hold off until after dawn may be getting too about the noon hour or so much get some things real quickly done early on saturday that you need need to perhaps for the rain starts to settle in. Its going to be unsettled weekend and early into next week, it looks like what jump back to those winds as i county. Were about the fairfield where we had somewhat milder temperatures there. The winds kind of mixing things up we lose the east bay wins and then they pick up on the west side off to a sonoma and also marine little bit down the peninsula to that offshore onshore wind rather out of the northwest helps keep temperatures down a little bit too and theyre pretty impressive of the teens just a bit and thats going to linger all the way until friday morning it looks like as well. Heres the game plan, mostly sunny and warm expected today tomorrow with 60s bay area wide that this weekend, those showers and rain developing cooler temps to into service will be dropping back to the 50s bay area wide.

Theres not a lot of traffic out there so chp has been warning you know you still need to drive at the speed limit folks have been just speeding on bay area bridges and freeways and thats not good so make sure you behaving. Overall traffic looks great this morning into San Francisco. Everybodys cash is all of our bridges are cashless right no toll takers on site they are practicing social distancing as well so keep that in mind look at 70 average its our busiest bridge. So yeah, there is some traffic and its mainly on the flat section here west of the toll plaza so its getting crowded. But of course its not bad nothing like the norm you can make it to the peninsula and under 30 minutes which is great. We will check back in on some more bridges coming up a little bit later marty sounds good right.
