has seen more applications than in recent years, and this can be a bright spot as the district becomes more open about difficult decisions that lie ahead. within the month, the district has said there are more schools than students, so the consolidating or closing schools is not just a possibility but it is poised to happen at this point. how many and which schools, that has yet to be determined. i am told it will take some time before those decisions are made. we know this morning applications to fsusd schools went up this past placement season, and that coincides with the change. and the potential for the growing student body is there. >> we see an increase of about 300 applications of pk students every year, and what that means is that every year we need to make 300 more seats until we are

opening pk at more and more schools every year. >> reporter: there are currently over 130 schools within fsusd, and almost 50,000 students. can you see the breakdown on your screen now. that is for the 2023-2024 school year. enrollment numbers has been down in recent years, and they are also impacted by low number of san francisco families with young children. the city's declining birthrate and the steady enrollment at private schools. the district is facing major challenges including an over $400 million deficit, and replacing an inefficient payroll system and reforming their school placement from lottery to zoning. speaking of those decisions, families are in the middle of finding out which schools they are placed for, and they have until april 5th to make their decisions, and as far as those closing or consolidating

>> absolutely. but we will unfortunately have to deal with rain off and on, and on saturday bring your own basket and it will happen at 9:30 on saturday morning in belmont. check your city, there's probably a local event going on as well. we have been dealing with the rain over the past 12 to 16 hours, and we are still seeing lingering activity. the storm system further to the north will bring us a chance of rain. there's another one developing that will be rolling into the bay area tomorrow, keeping it unsettled. if you are wondering how much rain did you measure yesterday, we had for most of us 0.1 to quarter inch of rainfall, and a little more for oakland and fremont. san josé had 0.1 of rain, and the highest was in mount tam, an inch and three quarters there.

woodacre had 1.3. it was a very spotty hit or miss, and there will be a slight chance of a lingering shower today. there will be times of rain in the forecast from friday into saturday, and even gusty winds and a chance of rain. there could be up to two feet of snow possible over the weekend in the sierra as the chilly temperatures continue. it's still going to feel very much like winter as we are celebrating a spring holiday, and next week, maybe your kids have spring break, it will be in the low 70s and sunny. absolutely beautiful. make plans to get outside. it will be in the mid-60s in san francisco. mike, how are the southbound travel times looking? >> better, and 85 is great, and

101 is improving slowly, because as the crash cleared, the alert for 101 cleared, we have more traffic. the bulk of your commute, traffic is from morgan hill, you have a number of choices to choose when you are traveling north, and the 101 itself had the longest drive, and that's the biggest build so it's the slowest to recover. a smooth flow of traffic for the east bay and it shows the typical spots for slowing. back to you. >> thank you. next here on "today in the bay," "nbc bay area responds." >> is your car's windshield making you pay when carpooling? one bay area viewer found out the hard way. the answer could be yes. i am consumer investigator, chris chmura. we will help you avoid the same

creek and upper 50s elsewhere. we will talk about the weekend coming up. mike, you are tracking that recovery for the south bay commute. >> yeah, talking about things clearing out. that's what is happening for northbound 101. the recovery is slower than you would expect as you approach alum rock and the key. the northbound 101 had a deadly crash just after 3:30 near oakland road, and you have a build. as that crash cleared the backup builds because the volume is building from 101 and 87. there's continued recovery from 101 through san josé, and the rest of the commute shows the typical backups, including on the bay bridge. >> thank you, mike. the a's appear to have one foot out of the door. >> it makes it tough to cheer on your team. bob redell joins us live at the coliseum this morning.

some groups hope fans don't step foot into the stadium today. >> reporter: yeah, there are two groups and they are hoping that fans show up for the home opener stay outside here in the parking lot for a block party protest against the a's move to las vegas. these two groups put together a website called the summer of boycott. to quote, channel our selective frustration, and they want the owner to know they want the a's to stay in oakland and not move to the las vegas strip. >> the a's belong in oakland and the fans deserve the team. the fans built-up and created the mystique around the a's. we deserve better, you know, so we are hoping eventually, somehow, you know, enough people step in and maybe do a quiet

payoff issue, and to date that has not proven to be the case. >> reporter: in the past, the a's have opened up the parking lot here four to six hours before the home opener to let the long line of fans in to tailgate, and yesterday the team released a statement that they will not open the parking lot gates tonight until two hours until game time, and that's a little after 5:00. it's not clear if this is in response to tonight's planned boycott, but it could cause serious traffic if the lines are cars back up on 880, and there's a concert next door at the oakland arena, and something to keep in mind if you are coming to the coliseum. with regards to the a's move to las vegas, next tuesday the tropicana hotel, which has been a sin city landmark on the strip, will shutdown and be demolished for the a's new

stadium, and the a's hope to move into the 33,000-seat domed ballpark in 2028. the team is committed to play at the coliseum here in oakland through this season, but not clear where they will go in the years the stadium is being built. first pitch for the home opener at 7:07 tonight against the cleveland guardians. >> wishful thinking all around there. thank you, bob. let's not forget our giants as well. here's a live look at san diego's petco park, and that's where the giants today will take on the padres a little after 1:00 p.m. on that nbc bay sports area. you can feel like you are there. and the giants have more members to the team, including one-time world series mvp, and matt

chapman is joining the team. the a's home opener airs on nbc sports california, and coverage begins at 6:00 p.m. here's a live look at a very foggy scene in baltimore, and this is what is left of the key bridge and the cargo ship slam into it there, still there this morning two days later. the crew still onboard, and so far the bodies of two of the six road repair workers believed to have been lost are now recovered. the ntsb now analyzing the ship's black box for evidence. secretary of transportation, pete buttigieg, said the rebuilding of the francis scott key bridge should surpass $2 billion, and the indefinite baltimore port closure is

causing backups into and out of the port. data shows traffic accidents are the number one cause of deaths for children in the state. the safety measure will look into protecting kids walking and biking to school. the reforms include lowering speed limits in school zones to 20 miles per hour, and it comes after a car hit and killed jacob in 2022. the former king of cryptocurrency will learn his fate. sam bankman-fried went to penthouse to jail cell after the collapse of ftx. >> there are two narratives we are talking about, one that sbf, as he is known, is that he was a criminal mastermind, and the other is that he was a kid over his head.

>> yeah, and i think you can guess which theory belongs to the prosecution and which belongs to the defense. the defense says he was a kid that mismanaged money and he was also a victim of the collapse, and they are using his autism as a defense. prosecutors want 50 years, and the defense is asking for 6 1/2. the thing that doesn't help him, he took the stand in his own defense during his trial and it was a disaster. the judge said he showed little if any remorse, which is why his attorneys are trying to differentiate their client from others, and bernie madoff died

in prison, and he was sentenced to 150 years. bankman-fried's potential sentence could be this high, and even prosecutors are not asking for that. other comparisons, this is bernie everies, and he got 25 years, and elizabeth holmes got 11. we should know by noon today how long he will be behind bars, marcus. >> thank you so much, scott. this morning, chain controls are in effect along i-80 and highway 50 after a heavy dose of snow in the sierra. road conditions there quickly changing in the sierra for drivers. this is video from a scene along i-80. snow-covered roads and low visibility forcing many of those behind the wheel to slow down. those without chain controls, they were forced to install them. some travelers say they were not

prepared for the rapidly changing conditions out there. >> so far it has been fine until we started climbing through 80. once we started hitting the snow, it got real bad. >> go slow. take your time. when they say chains, don't wait, just put the chains on. >> yeah, we always tell you. let's get down to meteorologist, kari hall. how much snow are we talking about right now? >> right now it's slight, but chain controls are still up and the winter storm warning will be expiring soon, and the snow is tapering off so there could be a window to get there today. we can see on the radar and satellite, there's light snow coming down and the conditions are still slick with temperatures very low and that creates icy conditions. then we could have most likely another winter storm warning going up after this one expires and we will see additional snow this weekend that could be higher than the snow we just had. another foot for south lake

tahoe, and so at home there will be the treasure fest happening on treasure island on saturday morning. we will have off and on showers throughout the morning and the temperatures in the upper 50s. we also have the bay of sea home opener on saturday evening. most likely we will see rain for that as well. we will be watching all of that for you. mike, how is the commute through san josé? >> it's recovering and building at the same time. the recovery is slower for northbound 101, and it's extra slow at the 280-680 interchange. the crash cleared at oakland road, but that means more traffic on surface streets and 680. by the airport, a build and it's thursday so the rest of the commute relatively mild. as we look at 880 this evening, there will be clouds expected at

the off-ramps near the coliseum complexes. bob talked about the a's home opener, their last tonight, and there are two groups of fans that are planning on tailgating in the parking lot, and along with the concert after the game time start, there could be traffic off 880 and those off-ramps. at the top of the guest list, three u.s. presidents. what they are expected to rake in ahead of the election. it happened less than four minutes into the game.

bounced from one doctor to the next. does it have to be like this? at kaiser permanente, we have a different kind of healthcare... so, how did you like doctor lum? ...where all of us work together for all that is you.

it's now 6:44. let's get a look at novato as we are starting out this morning with chilly temperatures. we are in the upper 40s and it's clear. we will have sunshine throughout the morning as we go from upper 40s to upper 50s. it's overall going to be a cool day. we will talk about more rain in our weekend forecast, coming up. we are looking at northbound 101 in san josé, recovering, but slower than you would like between tully and sjc. a new poll shows a majority of americans support a

bipartisan plan to help the border. >> scott mcgrew, this is the plan donald trump was against. >> "the wall street journal" conducted the poll we are talking about and found 59% of americans support the bill that would give the president power to shutdown the border every time more than 4,000 tried to cross, and that's pretty much every day. it would make it much tougher to claim asylum. the bill was part of a deal between democrats and republicans, and democrats wanted more money for ukraine, and they said if you give us that, we will give you the toughest border bill in decades and two sides met to write it, and one of them was republican katie brit, and she helped write the bill and then opposed the bill after donald trump soured on it saying publicly it would help biden's re-election

chances. the poll showed 66% of americans supported a pathway to immigrants brought into the country as children, who we call dreamers, and 74% a pathway to citizenship for adults who came here illegally knowingly but have stayed here. one trio is reported to bring in $25 million for the democratic party, as part of a fundraiser. first lady, jill biden, will host an after party. attorneys for hunter biden were in court yesterday, trying to convince a judge the charges were politically motivated and should be dismissed. the judge was not convinced and said the lawyers had little evidence to bolster their

arguments. john eastman went before a judge in california that suspended his law licenses and recommended he be disbarred. he said eastman worked to misinform the courts. and then my pillow is ordered to move out of the country after failing to pay rent. the creator, mike lindell, faces lawsuits against him. shortly after, a different judge told donald trump not to attack the staff, and then trump posted criticism of the judge's daughter, and she had posted a picture of him behind bars, and they claim she canceled that account sometime ago and they don't know who runs it currently.

marcus? >> thank you so much, scott. maybe a half step backwards for draymond green after an important game last night in orlando. every game matters at this point, and four minutes into the game green got into it with the refers who lost their patience, and he was tossed out after two technical fouls. nothing physical, just the language. the warriors were able to hold on to the final playoff seed. how about a story that is sure to hit a fever pitch with everybody just hoping to strike it rich. >> you hit that one out of the bark there, marcus, but nobody won last night's powerball jackpot. saturday's jackpot is worth an estimated $935 million.

there have been 37 consecutive drawings without anybody hitting that top prize. good luck to you. >> that was good with baseball, so that's about the same price of a lot of major league contracts. >> yeah, we all keep trying to buy them and it's a swing and a miss. >> maybe i should practice baseball. >> yeah. a chance for rain today? >> slight chance, a very slight chance. i guess as good of a chance as winning the lottery, maybe? well, you have a better chance of rain today, and a much better chance for the weekend. we are cloudy today and a spotty shower popping up, but there will be another storm system coming in tomorrow with a chance of thunderstorms for the weekend. then on easter, we could see showers coming back during the afternoon. maybe a little break during the morning, but looking at what's happening across the region, so we are seeing the rain that we

had last night really pushing to the south of us, but there's still an area of low pressure drawing in all the moisture that remains to our north. another storm system developing out in the pacific, and this one will be here tomorrow and into the weekend. temperature wise, we are in the upper 50s to low 60s for a high today. it's going to be jacket weather throughout the afternoon. at least we are not having to deal with any widespread rain. tomorrow when we do get that rain coming back, we are staying in the 50s all day long, so that doesn't really feel like spring, does it? we are heading into a weekend where our temperatures are much cooler than normal, all thanks to the wet weather that we are going to see. once again, not a lot today, but then look at our hour by hour forecast tomorrow starting at 11:00. there's pretty widespread rain moving through and getting heavier for tomorrow evening. it will be off and on throughout the weekend with the possibility of rain even into sunday once again. so overall we are looking at

rainfall totals for the bay area anywhere from about an inch to an inch and a half, these areas in red in parts of the north bay along the coastline could see slightly higher rainfall totals compared to everywhere else, and windy with a chance of thunderstorms on saturday. on sunday, on easter, it looks like we wake up to dry conditions, and then rain chances increase once again for the evening. warmer temperatures surging in for next week with sunshine and in the low 70s inland, and san francisco will be seeing highs in the mid-60s. mike, we have the wet roadways? >> yeah, these folks won the lottery -- no. we have damp roadways, and no major problems, and it's a thursday drive so the usually suspects, concord and richmond,

and same thing for westbound 80. a little build for pleasanton. we are about to our normal morning commute after the earlier crash cleared at oakland road. back to you. >> thank you, mike. happening now, johnson & johnson getting another chance to challenge the scientific evidence linking its talc products to ovarian cancer. new requirements for a new review. johnson & johnson has until july 23rd to present its case. up next, a look at our top stories this morning we are following, including opening day for the oakland a's. thousands plan to show up at the coliseum, but will they make it inside for the game? the alternate plans for fans protesting the move of the a's
