Its part of a troubling trend. Our state had the highest rate of laser strikes in the country. We spoke to ian gregor from the faa. He says the number of strikes have nearly doubled nationally since 2013 and has a theory on why we lead the nation. Because we have the greatest population of any state, many major airports in urban areas and we have great weather where people are inside most of the year. Reporter and the faa says another reason for the spike is that the laser guns have dropped in price and theyre easily accessible. You can buy them at retailers like walmart or target.

Now the boys are suing the School District, claiming it didnt do enough to protect them. The district should have and needed to act much more kwiekly than they did. They swept it under the rug.

Im going to ask them clarification on some of the points. Theres other questions that go into, could it have happened . Its clear from the transcripts that they would like to retry the issue of whether this guy was using appropriate touch or not. Its like, im sorry, i think the book is closed on that.

The Clean Energy Future is not only possible, but if we all work together, National Government and then the national community, its absolutely certain. Governor brown is also in paris this week for that conference. He did a joint interview with schwarzenegger on Climate Change yesterday. Speaking of Climate Change, how about the way its changing for us here. Still foggy. Meteorologist kari hall joins us. Yes, jessica. Going into the snex couple of days, more low clouds, fog and then the rain by the mid of the week. Heres what to expect. A lot of clouds, patchy dense fog. You may want to slow it down. Allow extra time to get to where youre going tomorrow. Well still have the clouds hanging around and a few peeks of sunshine with mild temperatures. Heading into wednesday, the storm system approaches and brings in some wind and some heavy rain. Looking at the temperatures and what were expecting as we go into tomorrow, it will still be mild and a nice day to get outside. To put up the Christmas Decorations or clean up the leaves which you may need to do as the system approaches. Look at how big it is on the satellite imagery. Weve seen some of the light showers today well out ahead of that. This begins to move into the bay area for the north bay on wednesday. So dry conditions, a lot of clouds, a couple of sprinkles possible. Morning low clouds and fog. By wednesday, thats when the rain starts to move into the north bay. The rest of the bay area doesnt see it until thursday. This looks to bring along with it some gusty winds, high waves and possibility of some flooding. Heres the reason why. We are expecting quite a bit of rain from that at least half an inch in the south bay. Maybe even higher amounts. This may not be the only rain we see. Ill detail what else to expect into the rest of the week coming up a little bit later. See you soon. Thanks, kari. Still to come at 6 00, it comes in a Priority Mail envelope from the u. S. Postal service. It says youre a winner. What the Warning Police are saying about that tonight. Grading public schools. The reason parents have trouble seeing how well their school is doing. Thats next on class action. An unusual negotiating tactic today by parents in san lorenzo. Take vo they pulled their kids out of sl an unusual negotiating tactic today by parents in san lorenzo. They pulled their kids out of school and staged a protest at the District Office. The teachers are asking for a raise and have been negotiating with the district unsuccessfully since march. Now, the Teachers Union warns a strike is possible and the parents support them. I took my children out of school to help the parents back the teachers to show that were ready to let the district know that were really concerned about a strike happening. The superintendent says the district is already operating in the red and tells parents, pulling kids out of school will hurt the districts efforts to give teachers what they want. Teachers want a 6 raise but offered only 1 so far. It is the end of an era. For years, schools in california have been ranked based on their test scores. That system is coming to an end. However, the controversy over what replaces it, thats just beginning. In tonights class action, how do we Measure School success . Thank you for coming out to our smarter balanced assessment results meeting. 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. Do they revisit those section sns. A different way to evaluate schools. The law requires a move away from standardized test scores. It needs to be more than just include more than just the academics. For 15 years the api, the academic performance index, has been the yardstick 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 pens larks 831. A Poverty School in San Francisco, 726. It gives one number. And its a number you can compare it to another number. Really, its kind of misleading. It doesnt tell you whats going on in the schools. The head of the largest Teachers Union in the state is involved this. They may not see an api at all. There wont be a ranking system. Theres no point in comparing one school to another school. What you want to look at is at the school itself and look at multiple indicators in that school. The 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. Its more than just looking at a test score. Im sympathetic to folks saying we dont want to be judged on a couple of numbers. I get that. But on the flip side, you know, accountability is essential to having confidence in our education system. 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. Theyre pushing for a combo that would blend the best of both worlds. Cant we have a system where similar to the api, you can quickly see how your school is doing with a few numbers but then be able to delve deeper. While experts debate the best way to Measure Schools, this much is clear. It is the dawn of a new era in education. Now for parents its a super hot button issue. A lot of them relied on that number to figure out how their school was doing. Sacramento will take up the issue in how to Measure Schools in the coming months. But it is expected to be a heated debate. Stay tuned. Still ahead alleged members of an oakland street gang charged today with running a bay areawide burglary ring.

Five of 21 alleged members of the west oakland ghost town gang were charged with operating a burglary ring, including Danny Rodriguez garcia arrested in this officerinvolved shooting in sunnyvale in february when he was also charged with attempted murder for allegedly trying to run over a santa clara Police Officer. The prosecutor said the gang targeted mainly Electronic Devices in more than 50 breakins in nine bay area cities, mixed in among other violent crimes. In terms of the evidence we saw, they have several homicides associated with that gang. This is an oakland neighborhood. I think the d. A. Considers that a gang. Reporter one woman who lives in an rv did not want to show her face but is relieved that arrests were made. You come here and security to keep an eye on things. Its the scary part, in broad daylight they were doing that. Reporter the five men at this courthouse are the first of 11 in custody facing charges. Ten alleged members are still outstanding. Today, all had bail set at more than 1 million apiece with court dates set for january. Some of the family members of the accused men told me they believe the charges are blown out of proportion and denied any gang connection. Live in milpitas, robert handa, nbc bay area news. Thanks, robert. Were following a developing story involving Homeland Security right now. The Obama Administration will soon announce changes to the terror alert system.

Secretary johnson would not reveal any details to the new alert system. Taking border controls to a new level. Republican president ial candidate donald trump today announced that there should be a total and complete shutdown of muslims entering the u. S. Calling it common sense and to be stopped. What does it mean for his candidacy, the Republican Party and the 2016 election . Larry ger stin joins us. Heads are spinning. How is this going to impact his candidacy . Its hard to say. You dont know. Trump has surged jessica among Republican Voters with recent negative comments about muslims all the way down the road. It may play well in iowa. Why . Because 99 of all republicans there are white with a heavy evangelical hue. Beyond iowa, its another story. The territory changes and trumps strident remarks about muslims may not do so well other places. He struck a negative cord with those worried about freedom of religion and what we call the american dream. We see some of his gop rivals calling him unhinged, divisive, reprehensible. How will it reflect on the other republicans . Clearly the rest of the pack are thinking this over and going to act in different ways. Somebody like ted cruz and ben carson, well, they may quietly sit back opposing of course what trump said but letting him do the heavy lifting. Others such as jeb bush, john kasich and Chris Christie may push back hard claiming that trump has gone over the line with unpatriotic remarks. You could expect this, though. Fireworks, fireworks galore at next weeks Republican Debate over this very issue. As you were saying, it may play in iowa. Whats it going to do for the republican brand now that were 11 months out from the 2016 president ial election . Once again, republicans they find themselves engaged in a civil war thats just taking them farther away from attacking democrats, particularly president barack obama and presumptive nominee hillary clinton. Its just a repeat of the kind of stuff that went over with mexican immigration that sucked so much energy out of the republicans about a month or so ago. So whether its muslims or mexicans, trump is betting something. Hes betting that this kind of fear tactics if you will, will bring out voters for him leaving other republicans in the dust before he, trump, turns to democrat hillary clinton. Meanwhile, republican establishment folks at the very establishment that trump knocks again and again. Theyre fearful that the remarks will cost the Party Important votes. The votes of minorities, the votes of women next year. You know what, they need sizable chunks of both groups to win the presidency. A lot at stake for republicans. Polarizing the presidency for sure. Thank you, larry. Tonight a beacon is shining to mark 74 years since the attacks on pearl harbor. Families and Community Members gathered at the concord campus to honor local pearl harbor survivors. They lit the memorial its become an annual tradition.

Also mayor libby schatz says the city has not engaged in any specific discussions with the nfl but will keep it in mind when evaluating future options. San Francisco Police say criminals are working in a new way to rip you off via the u. S. Mail. A victim finds a check for 2,000. Theres a letter with it that explains youve been chosen to be a mystery shopper. Youve been instructed to deposit the 2,000 check at the bank and deduct 200 as payment. Then wire the balance back to the fake company and write a review. The check they give you doesnt clear. So the victims wont get any cash, plus theyre out the money they wired to the scammers.

My owe moej i. Exactly. We love the weather. Its a bit warmer today it felt like. It will be warm the next couple of days. This is the calm before the wet weather and the storm arrives. Heres a live look now at san jose. You can see the clouds and watch how the fog too. Ill have that coming up in the forecast. Come on in pop pop. Happy birthday. I just had a heart attack. And now i have a choice. For her. For them. And him. A choice to take brilinta. A prescription for people whove been hospitalized for a heart attack. I take brilinta with a baby aspirin. No more than 100 mg. As it affects how well it works. Its such an important thing to do to help protect against another heart attack. Brilinta worked better than plavix. And even reduced the chances of dying from another one. Dont stop taking brilinta without talking to doctor. Since stopping it too soon increases your risk of clots in your stent, heart attack, stroke, and even death. Brilinta may cause bruising or bleeding more easily or serious, sometimes fatal bleeding. Dont take brilinta if you have bleeding, like stomach ulcers. A history of bleeding in the brain, or severe liver problems. Tell your doctor about bleeding, new or unexpected shortness of breath, any planned surgery and all medicines you take. I will take brilinta today. Tomorrow. And every day for as long as my doctor tells me. Dont miss a day of brilinta. Everyone knows about the so today marks the anniversary of the bombing of pearl harbor and many people know about the sinking of the arizona. But another boat in the harbor that day came here to the bay area. Joe rosato, jr. Shows us how what was once called a hero boat slowly became a ghost ship. I raised up and looked out. All hell was breaking loose. Among the Unsung Heroes on the attack on pearl harbor. I heard him say, my god, this is war. The tugboat called the hoga. Is rescued sailors from burning ships. Awakened by the dropping of the bomb. It was sent here to the sassoon bay to live out its days in the militarys massive reserve fleet of retired vessels. A number of ships ron patterson, the owner of Dolphin Charters would often take its passengers to see the acres of decaying military ships which became known as the ghost or mothball fleet. We used to do the mothball fleet with when there were as many as 96 ships, i guess. Tug master was shaving in his cabin. It included famous warships like the hoga and the u. S. S iowa battleship. It was a little textbook of history. Aside from being in an attraction seen from the shorelines, the ghost fleet became a sacred place for those who once served in the military like this former navy sailor. I saw a couple of the ships like i served aboard in the 1950s. Several years ago environmental groups, including bay keeper sued the federal government saying the 57 languishing ships were polluting the sassoon bay. One of the paints on these old vessels were starting to chip. The vessels were putting about 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. The iowa went to Southern California to become a tourist attraction. The hoga went to a museum in arkansas. Most were dismantled and sold for scrap. Now there are now only three left of the original 57. This once mighty fleet of reserve ships is now down to a trio. Indicate blanco, the brie done and the borda awaiting their final days. These last three ships are scheduled to be removed and dismantled. We dont do trips to the mothball fleet any longer. There are just too few ships. I miss talking about them. They were quite interesting. It seems this historic fleet has finally set sail for its next mission, forever navigating the waters of history. Joe rosato, jr. , nbc bay area news. A lot of memories there. Okay, lets get a check of our forecast. Some changes coming later this week. Heres meteorologist kari hall. Not a lot going on. Just some clouds. After Early Morning shower, we still see the clouds hovering overhead. As we take a look at the temperatures now, its in the upper 50s. Tomorrow, lower 60s. Another beautiful day. Its been so comfortable, especially when the sun starts to peek out. Then we await the big storm system. Its well offshore. A very large one, though, as we can see how expansive those clouds are out over the pacific. As this moves in, the jet stream will set up right over the bay area to carry some rain and some gusty winds right into our area. So were expecting the first wave of rain to arrive on wednesday for the north bay. Then the second wave gets here for the whole bay area on thursday and it starts early in the morning with some heavy rain and gusty winds. And the forecast models right now, pretty much agree with the timing and it looks to get much better into the next couple of days. Heres a look at the current futurecast. We still have that rain for the far northern parts of california. And clouds spreading across the bay area for tomorrow as well as wednesday. And then by wednesday morning, we start to see some rain moving into the north bay. Thats the first wave. And then the second one spreads some heavy rain for us all into the south bay as well by thursday afternoon and continuing looks like it just kind of hangs around for a while. Some of the initial runs of the computer models give us about a half an inch for the south bay. Look at the north bay. Look at ukiah. 2 inches of rain. Thats just friday. There will be another system moving in. Just look at how much rain we could see. This could cause major flooding and a concern of the possibility of higher amounts, especially in the north bay hills. So now is a good time to clean up the leaves, move out of the storm drains. Also clearing them from the gutters on the roof. Heres a look at what weve seen so far in san jose the past three months. In september, we had just. 01 of an inch. 05 in october. November, we had over 2 inches of rain. And the average for december, 2. 12. We may get all that of in one weekend. Were heading into the wet season of the year. Now as we look at the sierra, the possibility of over a foot of snow. So that could cause major problems starting on thursday and continuing into the weekend. The next three days gives us weather that will be mild at least for tomorrow as well as wednesday. Thursday when that rain falls it will be chilly. Highs only in the 50s. And then we see more of that cool weather heading into the weekend. Jess and janelle . Thanks so much, kari.
