educational and job opportunities, protect the environment and set aside money in the state's rainy day fund. we will live stream the speech for you on ktvu.com. it starts at 10:00. this brings us to the question of the day. what do you think is the most important issue for california? 22% say immigration. 15% say jobs. 42% say infrastructure. 21% of you say something else. you've been talking to us through twitter and facebook, letting us know your concerns. gentlemen, you both are hearing from our viewers. >> yeah. i've got a few here. our roads and cities are an embarrassment. time to clean up california. a couple from barbara and stacy thompson. high cost of living, housing. >> yeah. i got a lot of housing. just trolling through all of them. every third or second one seems to say housing. i wonder if that counts as infrastructure. >> we had a discussion about that. unfortunately twitter doesn't give you options to list too many things. housing is a big one. clearly it is for you. >> thank you for using the tvuthe9. we will live stream his speech on ktvu.com at 10:00. a group of oakland unified parents want a zero tolerance policy about lead in schools. >> allie rasmus explains what parents and activists want the district to do. >> and she tells us how much it's going to cost. >> reporter: well, the estimated price tag could be as high as $38 million to replace all of the water fixtures and plumbing at the schools to make sure there are minimal to zero amounts of lead in the water. late last year at this school one of the drinking fountains tested positive for lead. that has been replaced and the issue has been resolved. they have been working on this for the past year and a half, testing the water faucets and fixtures on all of the campuses. about 15 schools there was lead detected in the water above epa standards. most of the problems have been fixed since then. parents warned the district that that standard isn't high enough. they want the district to adopt a higher standard. medical experts say there is no safe amount of lead for kids to consume. and adjusting it over time can lead to health and developmental problems. parents and activists turned into a petition signed by over a thousand people calling for change. >> we're here to urge the school board to adopt a policy that requires that every water tap be tested for lead and repairs be made any time that lead is found above 1 parts per billion. >> reporter: the board members say starting next month, they will set new goals to make sure that the lead levels are lower than the 15 parts per billion epa standard. the estimated cost to redo the plumbing is $38 million. some of the board members suggested they may be able to use some of the money from the soda tax of city to pay for it. however, plans on exactly how to do that and the timeline for it have not been finalized yet. so we will have to wait to see what the district decides going forward. in oakland, allie

happening throughout the day across california at eight different uc hospitals. now, these 14,000 nurses who work at uc hospitals are calling for improved workplace safety to protect both nurses and patients. they say they are also trying to secure their future in terms of retirement. the union says the uc is proposing cuts to the pensions of future nurses. >> we feel that when the uc takes away pension cuts, it hurts all of us. we are standing united. we are in it together. we don't sell out the future nurses coming into our bargaining unit. so we fight for our current and future nurses. >> reporter: now, this morning a representative from the university of california sent me a statement on these ongoing contract negotiations. here is part of it. it says the university of california is eager to finalize a comprehensive contract that recognizes the integral role our nurses play in patient care and their significant contributions to the university overall. uc is committed to market competitive wages, excellent health and retirement benefits, and safe working conditions for our 14,000 nurses. these cna nurses are supposed to be staging similar rallies and informational pickett lines throughout the day at various uc hospitals across california. we should reiterate here that these are simply informational picket lines. these are not strikes. all of the nurse that's took part today will be reporting for work. >> thank you, alex. uc regents postponed a vote on a potential tuition hike as we reported on yesterday. that may cause problems for incoming students. the regents won't vote on the fee increase until may. the chancellor said that putting off the vote creates uncertainty for incoming students because they won't know what tuition is going to cost. >> families at the time that they're admit today berkeley won't know the cost of attendance. and we will not be able to effectively recruit students from out of state if by the may 1st deadline, when students have

of the water fixtures and plumbing at the schools to make sure there are minimal to zero amounts of lead in the water. late last year at this school one of the drinking fountains tested positive for lead. that has been replaced and the issue has been resolved. they have been working on this for the past year and a half, testing the water faucets and fixtures on all of the campuses. about 15 schools there was lead detected in the water above epa standards. most of the problems have been fixed since then. parents warned the district that that standard isn't high enough. they want the district to adopt a higher standard. medical experts say there is no safe amount of lead for kids to consume. and adjusting it over time can lead to health and developmental problems. parents and activists turned into a petition signed by over a thousand people calling for change. >> we're here to urge the school board to adopt a policy that requires that every water tap be tested for lead and repairs be made any time that lead is found above 1 parts per billion. >> reporter: the board members say starting next month, they will set new goals to make sure that the lead levels are lower than the 15 parts per billion epa standard. the estimated cost to redo the plumbing is $38 million. some of the board members suggested they may be able to use some of the money from the soda tax of city to pay for it. however, plans on exactly how to do that and the timeline for it have not been finalized yet. so we will have to wait to see what the district decides going forward. in oakland, allie

with their employer, the university of california, for the past eight months. they showed up this morning to make their voices heard at the uc regents movie which is still happening again today here at the ucsf mission bay conference center. members of the association were here and staged a rally outside of the conference center and set up an informational picket line here. the same thing will be happening throughout the day across california at eight different uc hospitals. now, these 14,000 nurses who work at uc hospitals are calling for improved workplace safety to protect both nurses and patients. they say they are also trying to secure their future in terms of retirement. the union says the uc is proposing cuts to the pensions of future nurses. >> we feel that when the uc takes away pension cuts, it hurts all of us. we are standing united. we are in it together. we don't sell out the future nurses coming into our bargaining unit. so we fight for our current and future nurses. >> reporter: now, this morning a representative from the university of california sent me a statement on these ongoing contract negotiations. here is part of it. it says the university of california is eager to finalize a comprehensive contract that recognizes the integral role our nurses play in patient care and their significant contributions to the university overall. uc is committed to market competitive wages, excellent health and retirement benefits, and safe working conditions for our 14,000 nurses. these cna nurses are supposed to be staging similar rallies and informational pickett
