Reporter frank and michelle, San Francisco Unified School District just told us that they received threats similar to the ones in l. A. And new york but we do want to stress schools are still open because they are saying that they dont believe that this threat is credible. Now, we are told the district immediately conducted facility inspections and coordinated with local and federal agencies to see if there was a risk. Nothing was suspicious was found. The district has increased Police Presence around schools. The district says a threat was similar to ones received across the country in new york, florida and l. A. And earlier this week, the l. A. Unified School District shut down because of this threat. And there was criticism they overreacted. New york kept its schools open. But in both cases, officials went public and shared information about th
Im betty yu. Reporter we have a fairly robust system with the focus over the north bay area first, but look at the plume of moisture off the coast of hawaii.
