5:49 am
looking at mt. diablo. here clear conditions and temperatures are mild as well, in parts of the inland areas. santa rosa's pretty cool though at 53 degrees. napa is at 57 but low 60s fairfield, concord and also livermore, and here is how the day plays out with fog and low clouds during the 7:00 hour, we'll still be dealing with it through the bay and into parts of the east bay. some of the areas are already very clear though and then by lunch time, we'll see mostly sunny conditions except at the beaches where the low clouds will hug the coastline pretty much all day long, and then start to move in again at around 7:00 this evening. notice they'll start to thicken up and move in overnight and tomorrow morning we'll wake up with the morning clouds and fog once again. so we'll be in that very typical summertime pattern. highs today will range from 60s at the coast to almost triple digits inland. look for a high of 69 in san francisco, oakland 76. san jose 87 and then possibly
5:50 am
100 near ukiah, lakeport, antioch near 97 so a hot day inland. you can open up the windows overnight. it will be mild, temperatures will drop into the throw mid-60s like concord, 61 and livermore. san francisco 56 so we've got the fog once again tomorrow morning. i just wanted to show you the changes you can expect for the week ahead. in san francisco, we're going to be above average today but notice tuesday we drop, we have onshore breeze picking up, and then temperatures start to warm back up for next weekend. so you'll see that pattern with the accuweather seven-day forecast, hot inland today, the heat holds monday but notice tuesday will be a cooler afternoon. the biggest change will probably be in the inland areas where you'll notice more of a drop and around the bay dropping into the mid-70s but then things warm up again and next weekend looks to be even warmer than this weekend. so grab the sunscreen and enjoy that sunshine. liz? >> yes, all right, frances, thank you. we just finished up an entire week here at abc 7 devoted to the challenges of
5:51 am
going back to school. some people start classes tomorrow, others in a couple weeks but one of the biggest concerns as we do this is of course the digital divide. school districts have been working throughout the summer to find solutions trying to get every student a laptop and internet connection. some are installing free wifi in public spaces. is it enough? the digital divide goes much deeper than just owning a device. in marin city, kids are soaking up final days of summer. with the new school year looming so are the concerns going back to school remotely. >> internet access is a privilege. everybody don't have it. >> reporter: paul austin works with underprivileged kids where the median household income is roughly a third of that in the surrounding areas. for months now he's seen hout pandemic has put a greater spotlight on the so-called digital divide, the tis parity between families that have access to technology and wifi and those who don't.
5:52 am
paul says most of the students he mentors have been given chromebooks and hot spots from their schools but the digital divide is more than just getting a device. >> there are kids that don't grow one a computer in the home so they're not 100% competent at working on a computer or with all the functions of a computer. they also got to look at if they do login to it, don't pressure them to make sure that the video is on. they might not feel too comfortable showing what they home may look like. >> reporter: these concerns only begin to scratch the surface of the challenges school districts across the bay area face this fall as they work to make sure no student gets left behind. oakland unified 70% of the students qualify for free lunches the district raised $12.5 million through the oakland undivided initiative. still it's no easy feat. the district estimates about half of their students, roughly 25,000 kids, need some sort of cnnectivity or device. >> right now we have computers
5:53 am
on order, we have hot spots on order, thousands of each. we've got, negotiating for broadband, we're doing everything we can to make sure that all of our families that have these needs at home that qualify get what they need. >> reporter: even then, there's unforeseen challenges, supply and demand. the 25,000 new laptops are on backorder, until then they supplied most with an interim device but still there's a chance some won't have one ready when the new school year starts. >> this is a herculean task but we're in a herculean world right now, right? is it going to be the education they'd get if they were in school every day? no, it's not. there's no way around that, but we are doing everything we can to ensure that the education that they get meets the standards they need that we need to hold for them and that going forward, once we're out of this, they'll be ready to pick up where they left off. >> reporter: marin city, we talked to high school students who have been given devices. >> our school is wealthy and all
5:54 am
of the students are wealthy. >> reporter: stephanie glass who juggles school and a full-time job at target says even with the devices she fears the virtual education will be lacking and won't be able to get additional help like some of her classmates. >> all of the kids can afford to get tutors and when school starts we couldn't afford to pay $100 an hour to get tutors, and most of us our parents don't know what we're learning. >> my parents they aren't born here so they don't know half of the stuff that i'm being taught so it's really hard to ask them for help when they don't know it. >> reporter: throughout the spring, paul stepped up and created free makeshift learning pods that gave students a safe space to do their work and get support. he hopes in the fall the school districts step up and do the same, a solution to the digital divide that isn't actually digital. >> it will be hard for every kid but it's going to be harder for certain kids, and that's the reality of it and we just can't turn a blind eye and forget about that. we have to stand up for the kids
5:55 am
who can't stand up for themselves. >> a lot of work to be done in the next few weeks and months. all right, a dress-up day for the ages, if you're needing something to do, how you and the family can get fancy right at home for free. home for free. details coming up. how will 2020 census data be used? where there are more people, there are more needs for public services. that's why the census is used by the government to inform funding decisions each year. but that's not all. it's also used by nonprofits to inform services, by businesses to create jobs, and even by students for school projects. understanding how the population changes helps us shape communities across the country for the better. shape your future. start here. visit 2020census.gov.
