The Philadelphia School district has hired a firm to find 5,000 people to work as substitute teachers. They have got to move fast so they are advertising in high traffic areas like highways and train stations. Owen murphy is the spokesperson for the firm called source for teachers. He joins us live in the digital operations center. 5,000 seems like a very large number. How far along are your recruitment efforts right now and whats the deadline . Well, we are making considerable progress. 5,000 might sound like a large number. In actuality, its not. In our experience, we have realized that you really need between five and seven individuals to cover any individual absence. Five to seven people need to be waiting in the wings and available to take a substitute role. In the School District of philadelphia, the average daily absence rate could be anywhere near 1,000 or more. So we believe 5,000 is a realistic target and also an achievable one. So who can apply here . Do you have to be certified in some sort of way before you hand in your application . We of course want certified teachers but we also have a lot of positions available to uncertified people. Our substitutes, its important to note that yes, they can be substitute teachers. We have a variety of other positions available as well, librarians, for example, secretaries. We feel we are presenting a pretty Good Opportunity for recent College Graduates who perhaps have not found a fulltime work yet in education, but are certainly consciously looking for one. They are a great candidate for us as are any teachers who have had previous experience and are looking to get back in the classroom. Owen murphy, thank you for taking the time to join us. Thanks for having me. We should mention that there has been some dissent during the process to privatize the substitute teaching issue in philadelphia. The City Council President darryl clark and the city controller have recently raised questions about the decision. The Teachers Union also has concerns about the pay scale for subs. A hot start to the week. Temperature already hit 90 in philadelphia today. So if we hit 90 tomorrow which we expect to be in the 90s, we will be tracking a heat wave, the fifth one so far this summer. It is definitely going to feel like summer for the rest of the week. The rest of the week, we also expect to remain on the drier side. So a dry stretch ahead. Thats going to lead us into your Labor Day Weekend forecast. I do have an early look at that coming up in just a minute. Now, the average high this time of year is 83 degrees. Yesterday we got to 81. Today we got to 90 so far. That could be heat wave number five with our 92 degree High Temperature expected for tomorrow, wednesday and thursday staying in the low 90s. Live look at cape may, this is the place you want to be to get away from the heat. Not too many people at the beach in cape may but it is very nice day for the beach. 82 degrees right now in cape may. Sunny skies. Feels more like 86. Our humiditys up a little bit, not unbearable, but its going to be noticeable once it drops this weekend. So the weekend looks pretty comfortable so far. Right now, still near 90 through the lehigh valley, near 90 in philadelphia, northeast philly, trenton. Some of the suburbs through south jersey and delaware, more like the mid 80s. Locally, on the dry side. We do have a few isolated showers earlier today. Theres a very small chance we could see a few more later on this evening. But thats really about it. Most of the moisture is down to the south at the carolina coastline. This is in part the remnants of erika and more tropical moisture still lingering near florida. All that moisture staying away from us. Future weather here trying to show a few isolated showers by 8 00 tonight but most of the area will stay dry. Then through tomorrow, another dry day, temperatures back into the 90s through the afternoon. Its going to stay hot tomorrow, it will stay hot into wednesday and the overnight hours will be pretty warm and muggy. So mostly dry, even as we go into wednesday and as we go even through the rest of the week we expect mostly dry conditions, too. For tonight, early stray shower, staying warm and humid. 73 for the low in philadelphia. Mid 60s north and west. Tomorrow, a hot, humid day, temperatures in the low 90s. Jumping ahead to the Labor Day Weekend forecast, the last unofficial weekend of summer, it is going to feel like summer and we expect dry conditions across the area. So thats nice. If youre in the philadelphia area, about the upper 80s, poconos and the shore, you should be closer to 80 degrees. If youre going to made in america this weekend, saturday and sunday, sunny and hot. If youre waiting for beyonce, of course later on saturday evening, temperatures by then in about the mid 70s. We expect to stay on the dry side. So there you see it. 90s continue for the rest of the week. Friday, theres a chance we could see a couple showers. We will watch that closely through the week. Either way, not much of a cooldown into the weekend. The only thing you will notice is i think the humidity just dropping. Football practices at one Ivy League School have gone high tech. Dartmouth college is using remote controlled tools to help players train on tackling. The goal is to make playing safer. Nbcs Jack Thurston explains. Reporter this is no dummy. Real cool, real neat. Reporter its an mvp, mobile virtual player. It will totally change the game. Reporter its the latest addition to the Dartmouth College football team. I have had a number of concussions. Reporter this rugby player wanted to help reduce brain injuries to athletes when as a dartmouth student he worked with others at the Engineering School to design the concept. It replaces the need to have one player take a big hit from another and risk getting hurt just for practice. This could become a staple on fields. Reporter now an alum, he hopes to keep refining the remote controlled prototype and take them national. Dartmouth coach bars any of his players from tackling teammates during practices. The heavily padded mvps will take the impact instead and since the nimble humanoids are squat, he thinks they will train his guys to make lower, safer tackles to the midsection. It will be huge for us. Reporter drills will continue with that kind of oldfashioned tackling pad but what the new high tech mvp units do is add the element of motion into the equation because of course, in a real game setting, a player isnt exactly standing around waiting for you to hit him. The idea here is to much better simulate a player in motion doing something that you dont know theyre going to do. Reporter with any new technology of course there are kinks to work out. How the mvps move on a field and withstand all the blows. Already, the developers and the team testing them out believe the units can score big. When it comes to improving player health. Looks promising. That was Jack Thurston reporting. To this now. Drivers be warned. A car seat switch is on the way. Whats about to change for thousands of drivers in our area in a matter of hours.

Your child could be required to sit in a rearfacing safety seat until the age of 2. As nbc 10s Brian Thompson found out, not everybodys on board with the new rules. Reporter new jersey is catching up with much of the rest of the country when it comes to securing children in car seats. Some parents we met struggle just to keep up with the old law, like the wrong seat. This should face backward. Juan torres and his 8 month old son juan jr. I have two cars so hes usually with me in my other car. Reporter or this woman will and her 5yearold son max. Theres no booster seat in this car. He always uses it. Not today. Not right now. Reporter heres the new law for that baby on board or older taking effect tuesday. Up to two years old or 30 pounds, the child must be in a rearfacing seat. Up to 4 or 40 pounds, frontfacing seats must have a fivepoint harness. The booster seat requirement of either up to age 8 or 80 pounds changes to age 8 or 49 tall. Fines go up as well. The previous legislation didnt deal with that. It was just very vague. This is much more delineated. It gives the police more guidance. Reporter for the thompson family, three kids have required three different seats. They all appear legal now but the idea that their now 3yearold would have had to face rearward until age 2 isnt pleasant. We have no room for his legs. Reporter parents we talked with are on board with the changes recommended by the American Academy of pediatrics after extensive survival research. If its a law we abide by the law. Whatevers safest. Reporter police dont usually go looking for child seat violations but if you are stopped for any reason and they see something wrong, theres a good chance you will be paying a new stiffer fine.
