Some parts of Northern Virginia and dc also under a advisory tucker says not really anything to worry about. Most places this morning. Lets get right it to fox5 follow up on the grade fixing scandal in Prince Georges County schools. In the last week weve uncovered new information that top School Leaders knew that students were graduating without meeting requirements more than a year ago. Fox5s Lindsay Watts broke the story last june and continues to press for answers for the community. My children, our children, our teachers have been disgraced by what has happened in our School System. Reporter at the most recent School Board Parents were furious. When you go to the polls this november, vote them all out. Reporter some calling for the school ceo and board chair to resign. Prince georges county schools new about mismanagement of student records. Reporter this after fox5 uncovered shocking new information. I saw that fox news broke a story that there was an internal audit done by Prince Georges County officials in 2016. Reporter weve told you how recent state audit found that Prince Georges County students are graduating without meeting requirements and mismanagement of student rec records. Turns out the School System performed its own audit a year and a half ago that found these same things. Yet top management at the School System never mentioned it in the lead up to the state audit. Instead they adamantly denied there was any problem. Back in june, fox5 showed you teachers and staff who said they were pressured to change students grades to make sure they graduated. Happening. So its widespread. Reporter it prompted four School Board Members to wright to the governor saying there was a systemic effort to fraudulently boost the graduation rate. A signature achievement of school ceo dr. Kevin maxwell and part of the reason his contract was renewed for four more years a yearly compensation package of nearly half a Million Dollars. Maxwell called the Board Members claimed politically motivated to try to get rid of them. The false allegations about our Graduation Rates strike at everything that Prince Georges County schools stand for. The allegations that were made are reckless. When those accusations are made, theyre not about improving the system. Those accusations are made about trying to disrupt and turn over leadership again in Prince Georges County. Reporter but in our most recent interview, we confronted maxwell about the School Systems own audit and he admitted he did know graduating without meeting requirements. When the Board Members came forward with these claims that some students were graduating, who shouldnt, you called it all politically motivated. But you knew at the time that there was something to this. So why didnt you just come forward and present the internal audit findings at that point . So theres difference between the what and the how. When we do audits, and we do these to improve our practices ton get better and again we do lost audits. Reporter the recent state audit found nearly 30 of recent graduates in a sample group either should not have graduated or didnt have the records to show they should have, it did not find there was system wide intimidation or corruption to boost the graduation rate. When youre graduating students that dont meet the requirements knowingly, that is a definition of wrongdoing. Reporter School Board Member ed burroughs stands by his original claims of top down corruption. Especially as new information keeps coming out. If i refuse to believe these 24 schools all decided to graduate students that did not meet the requirements for graduation at the exact same time in in the exact same way. Questions and angers from parents isnt gorgia with. You knew the entire time when you were getting up here doing your press releases that you were misleading the public and you were lying. Reporter Lindsay Watts, fox5 local news. Still a lot of questions to answer there. Now we talk earlier just before we heard from lindsay there about the chance of some snow in some areas. We dont want to scare people out there, tuck, thinking it will be everywhere but it seems like in maryland at least to the north and west well get some. Radar indicated but as far as what im hearing from people, just few flurries an little bit of light snow. Not enough to touch the ground yet but the potential is there the next hour or two as our front is moving on through there could be a quick dusting or coating or covering of snow in a few spots. Certainly cold enough. 32 at Reagan National thats really the warm spot locally most of our region in the 20s. Look how cold it is north and pittsburgh is nine this morning. Minus three in chicago. One in detroit. There is an extraordinary amount of cold air off to our north and west. International falls, minnesota this morning, minus 35 degrees. So were going to be tapping into that air mass over the next several days. All right. Theres your snow and notice the coverage is expanding just a little bit here. This is very very light. But there is a concern that there could be a quick burst of just enough to kind of coat the ground its cold enough that it will stick to roadways. So please tucker fox5. Tweet me and let me know if youre seeing any of the snow or touching the ground or coating the ground in your neighborhood and i will certainly pass that along. But this will be with us for the next couple of hours and then things should improve a little later this morning. Well be partly sunny, windy and cold this afternoon with falling temperatures and very very cold tonight. Ill have details on the seven day but this seven day one of the coldest stretches in recent memory as temperatures will be high temperatures will be in the 20s for several days to come here. Okay. Erins either talking to herself or producer o producer. Okay much whats going on. Hi, tammy. We were talking about how much time i had for traffic. Right now columbia pike northbound at tech road a crash is blocking one lane very light volume outside the beltway in Silver Spring. No slow downs. 95 cruising at speed the entire stretch north and southbound. So is bw parkway. Quiet on the way to bwi, Reagan National and dulles as we move things down right now, were seeing quiet conditions never a green zone on kenilworth of a south of benning road and looking great. Were at speed, five minutes between maryland state line and the 11th Street Bridge. Eleventh street bridge back to normal earlier vehicle fire third street tunnel did clear. And things are looking really good right now were at speed a little slow down on pennsylvania avenue but other than that, 695 is great. 295 northbound problem free. Look at the 14th street bridge. Its like a ghost town compared to what oy normally see of bumper to bumper traffic every day. You can feel were in the trend of the holiday week, none of the normal congestion so if you like us are heading to work this morning, at least you can maybe hit snooze a few extra times or justet early. I like that plan, too. Right now, if youre headed out shopping, things are looking good on the legion bridge both directions to and from tysons youre quiet maybe you have presents to exchange i like the sound of shopping. Tell me what one does on did you off that. Would sound really nice to meme as we move things over right now were also really quite top side of the beltway in college park. Any questions erin fox5 dc on twitter. Metro is on time. I slept funny on my pillow you ever have that awkward moment you have a stiff neck but youre turning and you feel like a my pillow. Thats what we need. I need one of those. Every morning. I know. Thanks erin. Time 7 37. Coming up new security changes coming to disney. Why your neck stay at the resort might be little different want changes you can expect. Its 7 37 now. So disney resorts enforce agnew Security Policy. One change disney doing away with do not disturb signs on the door of some of the disney hotels. Theyll switch out the do not disturb signs for signs that say room occupied a slight change but disney staff will still be able to go inside those rooms with notice even with those signs on the door. Another change staff is required to go inside each room at the resort at the disney resorts at least once a day t safety and security of guests. No official reason given a lot of people saying this is based on what happened in las vegas. Makes sense to me. Witness mass shooting there and not being able to go in someones hotel room for days a time. Tis the season to shop. New figures released jester Holiday Retail sales rose 4 compared to the same time last year. Online figures were even better. Shoppers clicking their way to boost online sales by 18 this year. Kanye certainly knows how to do christmas. Now he got, you know, his wife Kim Kardashian a lot of Christmas Gifts including some stocking stuffers. So to speak. Emphasis on stock he got creative we which he came a kim. A gift card to netflix and a amazon, adidas socks and apple headphones and mickey mouse toy. Thank you very much, i love it. In another box were stock certificates for all of those companies. Thats how do you it. Like 100,000 in stock from ample, another 100 grand from dee is that so. Walt dizzy and amazon basically half a Million Dollar worth of stock he gifted to kim. Gift that keeps on going. Hopefully in positive direction. Giving and growing. Gift goals. Christmas staple gets a hold dave its own. Its National Fruit cake day. Fruit cakes have a long history as holiday treat the first recipes believed to have come from ancient rome they were even available by mail order in the u. S. During the early 1900s. Grab a slice of fruit cake to today. Umhmm. That you go. If you dare. You dont like it . Theyre different types of fruit cake. I know the kind thats good that you get in europe. Yes. What we have here like the pasture arrived version. Can i say that word. Sorry boss. 7 42. Theyve been best friends for nearly 60 years now these two guys are tied even closer together. How they just found out who they actually tour each other. Its an mazing story. It really is. Coming up. This is kind of interesting. Yes. Celestial sight over china capturing a lot of attention. Three suns can be seen over northeast chinas hill junk province. Atmospheric optical illusion shows two smaller suns you mean its not real. Its an optical illusion can be seen on each side of a bigger one. Lasted for 15 minutes as the real sun the two suns gradually disappeared. Scientific explanation the phenomenon is linked to an atmospheric a sun dog. Interesting. The old sun dog. I saw some of this last summer when we had the eclipse here. Did you . You could see like a reflect of the sun in like kind of near it i dont know if it was in the clouds or whatever. Thats cool. It just seemed like it was bizarre. Sun dog. My understanding is sun dogs are most common in higher latitudes. Thats why. Okay. That reminds me i saw natural phenomenon that i was going to question you about. Ill tweet it to you tucker. Tweet me your questions. Ill tweet you the picture. You can tell me what it is. If i dont know the answer i wont respond. Maybe somebody else can help out. Okay. Lets go to the forecast. [ laughter ] snow showers. Theyre light. But they are certainly on a radar here. Look at them. Off to the north and west of town here, and you know the concern is with these cold temperatures we night get just enough to coat the ground in a few spots although i have no reports of that at this hour. Good news. 32 in washington. The only spot above freezing annapolis, 29, leonardtown is 30. Fredericksburg 30. You get north and west and this is where the front is actually coming through and the temperatures are really cold. Look at hagerstown this morning 20 degrees. 23 in winchester. All right. Theres your Storm Tracker ra radar. This stuff is very very light. Get up 270 towards frederick and urbana and it looks like we have a light snow shower occurring and again ive had reports of a few flakes out here. Not amounting to a whole lot. But certainly cold enough that even a light dusting or coating of snow and quick burst could stick to the ground here as temperatures are in the 20s off to our north and west. Keep that in mine. Not going to be with us all day for the next couple of hours things should gradually improve in fact the Weather Service just let go of the Winter Weather advisory off to the north and west. All right. Whats happening . Frontal system coming through. The real change youll feel another round of winds and cold temperatures here to stay here. So well get the snow showers out of here and then this big area of High Pressure builds on in and the winds are out of the north and the north and west, and 30s. Temperatures actually falling this afternoon and winds and wind chill make it feel like teens and were just in for one round after another of cold for the next couple of days. 34 thats optimistic maybe the noon hour well get cold ton tonight. 18. Daytime high tomorrow 29. Could be a brief period of light snow on saturday morning with a clipper and then look at that cold air for the end of the weekend. Our new years eve, new years day i think some of the coldest weve had in recent years. 29 on sunday. Wind chills new years eve may approach 0 degrees. Make sure you bundle up with somebody significant and then mondays daytime high only 26. This is good. You need to really snuggle each other for body warmth. Ill wear my cookie monster onsie. Have i party of one and my couch with a tub of ice cream with a heat blaring. Thats fantastic idea. Is that the one that smells bad . Thats the one you have. My costume dos not smell b bad. You smelled like trash on halloween because of your oscar costume. Deep breath of the moving o lane, Left Shoulder. This is the first build up in terms of volume weve seen all day give yourself a few extra minutes there. And then as you make your way out we do have a crash causing a slow down this is anacostia freeway northbound before benning road so northbound side is slowing. Southbound side still at speed. And then as you make your way out on the beltway, looking good through annandale on the inner and outer loop a crash in annandale. Annandale road northbound at gallows blocking all roads you have to detour around that. Things on the bell way through tysons look good. Crash scene in Silver Spring. Crash blocking one lane caution there. All metro rail lines are on time. We still have Police Investigation in northeast on brian street. Thats your traffic. Back to you. This is a cool story all new this morning best friends can certainly feel like family but for one pair of life long pals in hawaii it turns out they are actually are related. These two best friends Alan Robinson and Walter Mcfarland theyve been buddies for more wow. They share a special bond. See they never really knew who their parents were. Alan was adopted. Walter knew his mom but never knew who his father was. Walter started digging into dna matching sites, man he did he get the surprise.

One of the big films that came out christmas the movie called the post very local story obviously here with the Washington Post struggled to publish the pentagon papers back the early 70s during the nixon era, and we can show video of the movie if we can. Theres some of the trailer here this stars tom hanks and meryl streep and essentially meryl streep plays the publisher of the post, tom hanks plays the executive he had toward and its an incredible story directed by steven steel berg i spoke to the cast about the bravery of Meryl Streeps character at this time being the publisher of the post and having to make this gigantic decision of whether or not to publish these papers what could possibly lead them to court and possibly prison time. So i spoke to the cast about her bravery, but also the idea of printing out the real papers, having them onset in their hand and then if you watch breaking bad, they an actor named Bob Oden Kirk who plays a character in this film a r actually gets the papers to the post to get publish. He i joked with him about character he plays in breaking bad. Watch this. People are concerned. About having a woman in charge of the paper. That she doesnt have the resolve to make the tough ch choices. Thank you, arthur, for your frankness. Can you talk about the bravery as spec of her character and what you saw from that arc that she took in this role and the what that means for audience today to see that character on screen and in that environment. I think its tough to imagine what must it murph like in 1971, 46 years ago when what it must have been like to be a woman who was head of an organization like that when women just simply didnt hold those positions for the most part. Its one thing to try to imagine it now when its still very rare, but 46 years ago, incredibly rare. Shes a reluctant its really interesting. Super hero. She is not approaching this through a contemporary lense of feminism. She is part of a culture that that you know for the first 200 years of this country we dismissed the talents of half the people. Dozens of stories in here. The times is barely scratched the surface. Ten hours till the deadline. So we dig in. Did they really printout the papers for you guys onset. Yeah. We were looking at the pentagon papers in that big scene. Really. Ben bradleys house. We were working with the copies of the pentagon papers and were reading them, because theyre really intriguing and theyre very reel readable actually. Yeah. I know that its published. You can just buy it on amazon or wherever. And but theyre very readable. Theyre reports from vietnam or their reports about vietnam. Because sometimes its written theyre written over many years and they go back into the history even back to the french engagement there. Its just a survey of the evident over there and the question of why are we there . Whats happening . Where is it leading . I might have something. Must be precious cargo. Just government secrets. I just for some reason i want to see sal walk into that scene as a lawyer as jesse, character also in breaking bad. What do you think sals advice would have been about publishing the papers . Hell, yeah. Sal would have been lets go. Not for the right reasons. Because it will blow us up. Well be a big were going to be in the press because were doing this. Lets go to jail. Come on. Well be worth a lot of money after that. Get vince gilly on the phone. All for creating a raucous. Opposite of what a real lawyer would do. A real corporate lawyer would say all right. So just to give a little context if you watch breaking bad, the gentleman on the right side played a crooked lawyer in the show. So the joke being now actually interesting about it is in the movie the post, the lawyer who comes into tell them not to publish because they could probably go to prison for it is actually another actor from breaking bad. Oh. Jesse, who is now on the show far government it is interesting just to hear what owed den kirks character, he plays the reporter who actually gets the papers and brings them to the post and theyre all digging in looking through the papers themselves and he helps to write the article that eventually has the publishing to the pentagon papers so its interesting how they did it. Very cool. Interesting film. All right. Thanks kev. Thats out nationwide when. Its now. In d. C. Now. Dc now and nationwide 12th of january. Very cool. Hi, tuck. Good morning. Good morning.
