Up next School Officials we asked why that was allowed to happen and now parents having to find childcare and accounts up for sale on the dark we can web. Those details ahead 7 7. Time right now is 7 29. Ri we have more now ongh the deciso by alexandria city Public Schools to cancel classesasse tomorrow. After hundreds of staff membersm quested the day off. Ff tomorrow is also the without womens strike while tht school says the decision toisiot close was not political, itsal getting mixed reaction thisnhi morning. Joining us now from the centralr office for the school districttc is helen lloyd director off communications for alexandriaxai city Public Schools. Helen, good morning. Good morning allison. On bottom line for your school h system closing tomorrow. We made this decision because we became aware and monitoring the situation very very closely for several days now. Ow we became aware several hundred staff were intending to take leave on wednesday. Now, this is something that we knots a decision we tooke light. Its something that we monitored for many, many days and look at very close. This is a decision we took because of safety. A deof sety. Its a decision that we tookoo around safety and the ability deliver inspection for our students on that day. Insp helen, when did it become clear that this was not just a a few teachers and staff calling out . Out . That became clear yesterdayd morning. Moing. We look at the numbers of teachers quested leave. This is personal leave. Onal lea this is not leave we make a a decision over one way or ther te other and also contacted education contacts and we look at how many staff also potentially going to call outl o intending to call out wednesdayy morning. Mo which would have left us in anhe even more difficult situation. Were any rules violated here . Just really trying to understant how 300 faculty and staff can or the School System just j realized that 300 staff were not coming to school on the samee day. Many of these staff put intaf for personal leave. Eave personal leave is one of those things we dont as practice turn down. Down we dont want to be telling were not in the practice ofic telling our staff what to do ana what positions to take. We realize this is personal leave and when its personal leave we have practice approvinp that leave wherever possible. Otherwise were left inn situation of choosing, selectini when we approve some leave andea when we choose to deny others. Oh okay. So its a written rule if a faculty member or staff membera asked for personal leave theret not a judgment call made onn that. I dont want to get caught up in the rules. Rules youre saying nothing was, newgs york policy was broken, no rules were broken . Thats right no n rules were broken. Okay. So let me tell you that a lot of people are saying this ising i politically motivated. Theyre saying that if this amount of faculty had asked forf the day off and it just happenee to be the march for life, then n the School System would haveav st personal time is denied. So whenever theres personall leave, whenever high numbers off personal leave requests, whichsi would reflect high numbers of absentees, we always take a looa at the impact of that. Usually we can cover these leave requests through substitutes ans in this particular situation the leave requests were so high thah we actual dollar not efficient t substitutes to cover classroomlo instruction for that day. For thy so is this politically ica have you heard from your staffrf at all and theyre saying, welll we are actually participating in this womens day off and International Womens day . Have you heard that . The decision from alexandriaa city Public Schools was not a a political decision, and we neede to make that very clear. Le thank you. We did not make this becausee of politics. Pics. We made this decision because of safety and our ability to cover classrooms n i have to tell you that i have three students myself anded the thought of them being in in Elementary School and little and working parents, i would beld pulling my hair out. Out. What are you saying to parents s about basically an unscheduleded day off . Yeses. We realize this does have an a impact on families and were trying to make this as easy asaa we possibly can for family. We understand there are always issues were we have a day like th. S. And we have to close schools. What we are doing, we arewe are opening our school, six of our schools cafeterias and offeringg breakfast and Lunch Service forf students and those are offeringg for students that do not do particularly have to attend thaa school. Ho they can be attending any schooh in alexandria city public publi schools to walk into that schooo and get access to breakfast and hunch. There are also after School Activities still continuing that day. We have staff. E staff we have enough after School Activities and so those will be continuing as as usual. There will be bus students if i have student at one school anl i cant get to my school because its closed, will there be how will you get some of those students who might not otherwise have breakfast or after care. C. How will they get there . . So weve made sure that thett six schools that are open are ii our areas where we have mosteos high needs and those students st can walk to those schools and access easily. Six schools are open all over or the division, a student has a hs choice about where they go to to access those, n breakfast andfaa Lunch Service. Ic okay. Before we let you go, helen, i h want you to know, that this, story has just gotten so much mc response on all of our platforms here, and we actually have justj one facebook posting that i t think speaks to the anger that some people feel because they think its connected to a political movement. Writing in and basically this t person is saying that what about if the teachers wanted to just go to a fun event, if theyy wanted to go to the sameeam baseball game and they requestet off or if they wanted to go to something that was politically charged, i mentioned it like tht march for life, tell me what w your response is to basicallyasc the overwhelming thought thatugt this is political and its impacting my day and my need fof child care. D ce. Whats your response . Nse . So we are not in the positioo and the practice of making decisions for our staff. If they request leave, if it isi a certain type of leave we we generally are in the practice of approving that leave if its its personal leave. Ve annual leave is a different type of leave. Lea that is definitely somethingomhi that can be looked at. It depends on the type of leavea and so, you know, we are not int the position, the practice of making decision helen lloyd, thank you for f joining us today and explaining what will be a reality tomorrowt for the alexandria city publicc schools. Schools. We appreciate your time. Thank you, allison. Allon i just want to say, you know, we realize the impact on familiesie and, you know, thank you forou f being with us today. Most definitely.

Rr mel, good morning. Ning. Reporter good morning,mong guys. It is now called the americancan Health Care Act and the big b question which may take somee sm time to answer is whether it is indeed will deliver on those gop promises of lower costs without reducing coverage. E now, this gop proposal doess include some of the big things,g big provisions from thehe Affordable Care act thattt includes people with w preexisting conditions cantion still get coverage, and childree can stay on their parents healta plans until age 26. 2 the government would provide tat credits for people who buy their own Health Insurance. 2,000 to 4,000 on average up to 14,000 for middle income ince families. Li it also eliminates the mandates that force people in small sma employers to buy insurance onto the exchange buys. They deserve a new directioni thats why were taking tookakio repeal recent place obama care with ha can actually work for the t american people. Reporter experts looking lkg at the bill language say that t they believe this means fewer americans actually will be ablee to get health care coverage. Democrats meanwhile are saying n that republicans are just tryinn to jam through this potentially live changing legislation through congress. On they dont want folks to seee it until the very last minute mt just rush it through. Throu i dont blame them. Hem. Its going to be very hard for r republicans to be proud of this plan. Reporter one big issue isuei that the bill is Going Forward a without time for thehe Congressional Budget Office tobo take a look at it and tellel people exactly what the bill isi going to cost and how many my people perhaps may be with or without Health Insurance. An the bill mark ups thats wherese they do preliminary votes perhaps offer amendments on the proposals. S. Those start tomorrow.

Mo good morning, dr. Mike. E. Good morning. Ng. Steve, allison, good morningi to you. So heres my question. Quest first of all, the study when ite comes to our eating habits whent were younger is this news wes s pass along to our little onestle now or is there any way we canec change our course in life if wew already did the bad things t earlier . Well, unfortunately if youlyy ate a lot of red meat and a lott of highly processed foods andnd high fat and all of that, in your teenaged years, not muchuc you can do about it now if youre 40. Re 4 but what you can do is get your kids to live a more healthy righteous life early on. Now, the reason this is important is this new studytu found that if youre a teenager d and what we call inflammatoryama foods, you are up to 41 increased risk of having breast cancer. Now its not a cause and effectc but we think its the inflammation in those kinds of f foods that increase your risk pre menopausal age im talking. Before menopause. So you need to start early.

Thanks very much much itsch mht tuesday and you know what thatna means. Our own sarah fraser joins us on the couch to talk about somem of the biggest talkers youll y see on your timeline today. Od first up, internet trollsrols when when we can fight back k against them when we need to bew can you guys believe this . S . First of all i dont even know e if i believe this research butec wall street journal says thatayt most of trolls are first timee offenders. Really . Do you guys believe that. Yo you have to startu somewher. But i dont know if the reall seasoned ones its the first f jab. The article is titled, were all internet trolls sometimes. And it goes op to say that t 16 Million People a day are are first time troll offenders. Really . Reall what kind of constitutes a ot troll offender . Trolfender essentially its the firstal time you leave a neglect negle controversial comment on a story or on someones facebook. Theyre saying people people do it to get it out oo their system and theyre likey im done. That hate didnt feel good oo me. Not going to do that again. Were skeptical too. Oo steve h was the last time yoe trolled. Its been awhile. I dont leave negative neg comments. M not surere. I think you guys have good gg self control because the article goes on to say that mostt people an lot to lose. An thats true. S t allison and i spend more time deciding in well respond toeld them versus putting any comments out there. Out there here the thing. Thin dont bother because thisecse t actually even shows you more that people really only troll or when nair a bad mood and themooe worst time that people troll isi monday nights and sunday nights into monday morning. Morni theyre angry. Ry youre feeling you dont want to go to work dont want the weekend to bekenb over. Exactly. Monday is a rough start,is as right. Dont take it out on doneverybody. I think if you have some control people. Eo i love this story if you puto it intryo context if you realiza that im not going to respond. Nd you know people are doing it out of their mood. Their you know what i mean . I feel f like most people probablyle pbay wouldnt even say that as we a always that to your face anyhowo its an interesting study. S i thought it was kind of of cry for help for those whose dont want to go to work. W we should actually feel sorry for them. T do you ever catch yourselfyo like i will want to respond to negatively back to people. Evill i run it passed everybodyy needs a steve in their life. Thl run it passed somebody like stev sometimes i dont listen. Nt l but most of the time i do. All right. All right. Im going to call you then. Goin call steve. Thats fine. It depends on the level of o what it is. If its a persona l attack, if attk, its something you can defend or if you can just tell them likeaj you said somebody is just in a bad mood theyre cranky and they want to spout out. If thats the case you wont within the argument. Just respond on tuesday orueo wednesday and theyll agree witg it. I guarantee by then theyrent over it. I think it borderlines on rude. Like hitting a button to try to get somebody to call you or or basically to get you out of the conversation. Ersa. Obviously at a certain pointn everybody is getting a phoneodys call. Ca of time you walk passedd anybodys desk theyre on theye phone. This idea is hiftd terroristo cal. Its a new app for yourits a computer. N a coworkers cewomes around whon you dont care for or annoys yoy you can press that it will calll you on your office phone andho give you a 62n ng have to play along with thatith youre basically on the phoneicn and its like an so it actually guides you sou thats correct,. It guides you. You dont have to be such a big actor. Yeah. Yea what does the number say . T t steve wahes saying i would worrw about it. I they would look at it and see, yeah, right thats from your you computer. Co its not a real person, is it . Si just tell me if you dontif u want me to talk to you. Y i dont know.
