and wherever you stream. dozens are rallying in hopes of convincing the hayward unified school district to change its plan to school -- to close schools. abc7 news reporter j.r. stone is live from tonight's protest. the plan does not seem to have met their hopes. j.r.: it does not. they talked about that over the last couple hours. they narrowed that list down to four schools and eight campuses. those who marched up to the superintendent's office here, they want those schools open. >> save our schools! j.r.: a very solid turnout of parents, employees, and students this evening. the school district says they have a major funding shortfall, and that comes in their budget

and renovations that are needed at many of these school locations. since 2005, the district has lost 5500 students, -- 5500 students, and that means less funding. eight total campuses closed if they vote in favor of this plan. still, that is not acceptable to the dozens who rallied tonight. >> i should be able to stay in my school and all the bulldogs should be able to come in and learn. >> i am just a kid. i can't walk that far alone. >> even if enrollment is down, you should not close the school because of that. you need to advertise and get people to come back to hayward and want to live in hayward. >> properties can be leased out, buildings can be sold. consolidation of certain positions can happen before we get to shutting down complete schools. j.r.: this proposal plan would

put students from five current schools into 21 schools, so there are big changes that would have -- that would happen across the district. this meeting tonight starts at 6:30. that is one of the reasons why no one is out here anymore. they all went home so they can watch it on their computer. it is very likely because of public opinion that this meeting will go late into the evening hours. don't worry, we will be in this meeting and update you on how they vote tonight at 11:00. reporting live in hayward, j.r. stone, abc7 news. dan: thank you, j.r. ama: with only about a week before thanksgiving,'san franciscos health department -- before thanksgiving, san francisco's health department is putting out its safety plan.

reporter: what a difference a year makes. we were told last year to stay home, don't invite anyone over for thanksgiving. we did not have a vaccine yet, so this year most of us have been vaccinated and therefore there is more we can do. with that comes some risks. this week, san francisco public schools began helping out -- began handing out these swab kits to anyone who has been symptomatic or in close contact with someone who has covid-19. >> this is another measure to have everyone in person learning safely. reporter: the swab test is in addition to the already available covid tests administered at the district's mobile testing sites. for the holidays, the district is following the recommendations of the cdc and health department, recommending families delay travel until everyone is fully vaccinated. continue to wear a mask in indoor public spaces. if anyone is not fully vaccinated and must travel, get

tested before and after your trip. the san francisco health director offered this update today. >> as people gather and engage in the busy holiday season, the contact rate will increase. and therefore there are more opportunities for the virus to spread. reporter: as of today in san francisco, 13,000 children ages five to 11 received their first dose of the vaccine. that is 30% of the kids in that age group. the cdc is recommending that if someone travels, vaccinated or not, to stay home and self-quarantine once they return. >> even if they have not traveled, maybe they have gotten sick over a fall break. if they have symptoms, we want to make sure families are still self-screening before they come to school. reporter: so many school districts now have a longer fall break, an entire week, making exposure more likely. i did not have a week.

san francisco will resume testing at designated school y ce ks ama: as you reported yesterday, oakland unified is handing out rapid test kits so they can self -- so students can self test. why isn't san francisco doing that? reporter: san francisco feels their students don't have to do that rapid test the night before turning to school -- before returning to school because the vaccination rate in the city is. very high the vast majority of students ages 12 to 14 is high. oakland has good numbers, but not as good as san francisco. oakland unified will be requiring the vaccine as of january. san francisco does not need to do that. ama: thank you for those latest developments. in covid headlines, moderna has asked the fbi to authorize -- the fda to authorize its booster

work is key to rebounding our economy, but what will that look like? are companies adhering to covid policies? as part of our ongoing commitment to building a better bay area, we partnered with a global consulting services company that has surveyed close to 500 companies across the u.s., looking into these questions. abc7 news reporter stephanie sierra continues our coverage tonight. this research is fascinating. stephanie: it is. more than 50% of companies surveyed in this report say they require employees be fully vaccinated. while most california companies are taking extra precautions, many are still undecided on how to respond to those who are noncompliant. not every job has the luxury of working at home. >> we build the rocket and do all this in housework. stephanie: especially when it comes to launching rockets. this one taking off out of

alaska. >> here at astra, we are a manufacturer and designer of rockets. stephanie: the company's vice president of people. astra mandated vaccines for all employees ahead of the biden administration's requirement, given most of their employees need to be on site every day. >> we have temperature checks at our main average rinses -- our main entrances. stephanie: today, osha suspended enforcement of the federal mandate requiring employees -- requiring employers with 100 or more employees to test for covid or mandate vaccinations. some claim the mandate is an overreach of power. >> you can't make our jobs contingent on a jab. stephanie: protesters causing major traffic delays on the golden gate bridge last week. >> there are unanswered

questions, but a lot of businesses changed their behaviors. stephanie: landon is the director of solutions for sequoia consulting group. >> february 2020, less than 20% said they would mandate vaccination. stephanie: that figure has since then doubled. most companies based in california found 55% require covid vaccines. 23% say they don't. and 11% are considering it. >> there are strict fines for noncompliance. stephanie: even with the federal requirement, there are still a large majority of companies that have not put a plan in place yet. let's say you refused to get a vaccine for an approved reason, are you allowed to work remotely? the survey found 57% of companies say yes, with 24% still undecided. >> the most surprising part is the amount of companies that are still undecided with what they are choosing to do. stephanie: just ask the ceo of a

tech startup. >> we don't have hard mandates today, but we encourage folks to get vaccinated. stephanie: he isn't collecting vaccination information status on his employees, but other startups feel differently. >> it is ok to not get vaccinated, we just on to understand -- just want to understand why. stephanie: goodrx operates a telemedicine platform. >> any gathering of three or more people inside or outside of the office are required to be vaccinated. we don't accept the negative covid test anymore. stephanie: what happens if employees refused to comply? the survey which includes most california based companies founds 4% would require a leave of absence. 15% would move determination. 20% would consider reassigning them to a role that does not require them being in the office, with the remaining 40% still undecided. >> we have seen spikes in cases.

companies are anxious to put a firm plan in place. stephanie: for astra, the next part of the ride, booster shots. >> when you have 300 people under one roof, we need to keep people as safe as possible, so booster shots will be the next piece. stephanie: booster shots will be the next part of the conversation for many of these companies, but the survey did find more than half of companies will not be offering the vaccine on site. 63% said they will not be offering any incentives for employees to get the shot. dan: you are working on another angle on the survey for later this week. walk us through that. stephanie: tomorrow night, we are digging into company perks. there is a lot changing in this arena, especially when it comes to mental health resources. the benefits falling short may actually surprising. we'll explain tomorrow night at 6:00. dan: you can see all of the stories we are doing this week online. check them out and share them with your friends.

to be a thriver with metastatic breast cancer means asking for what we want. and need. and we need more time. so, we want kisqali. women are living longer than ever before with kisqali when taken with an aromatase inhibitor or fulvestrant in postmenopausal women with hr+, her2- metastatic breast cancer. kisqali is a pill that's significantly more effective at delaying disease progression versus an aromatase inhibitor or fulvestrant alone. kisqali can cause lung problems,

or an abnormal heartbeat, which can lead to death. it can cause serious skin reactions, liver problems, and low white blood cell counts that may result in severe infections. tell your doctor right away if you have new or worsening symptoms, including breathing problems, cough, chest pain, a change in your heartbeat, dizziness, yellowing of the skin or eyes, dark urine, tiredness, loss of appetite, abdomen pain, bleeding, bruising, fever, chills or other symptoms of an infection, a severe or worsening rash, are or plan to become pregnant, or breastfeeding. avoid grapefruit during treatment. ask your doctor about living longer with kisqali. dan: home networks, personal computers, routers, wireless printers, smart devices, they all have one thing in common. a hacker can gain access to them. the fbi and they received a record number of complaints about cyber attacks last year, a trend that is

expected to continue. what can you do to fight back? abc news reporter faith abubey with some tips on how to protect your home office. faith: a warning from industry executives about cyber attacks. >> the biggest threats facing homes and small businesses today are phishing, ransomware, malware, and hacked devices. faith: malware happens when you click on a website of online ad. phising, when someone tries to obtain your information through a phone call or email. >> one thing is where the email address that the email is allegedly coming from does not match the mail address you see when you hover your cursor over the address itself. we also know a lot of phishing emails have a lot of grammatical mistakes or look off. faith: experts say to protect your home network, take a

multilayered approach. use two factor authentication. update your software regularly. change the default passwords and usernames on devices such as routers. split up your router and set up multiple network segments, so if one part is compromised, the rest of the network is still protected. use a password management, a paid version. often new computers and smart devices come preinstalled with programs. subscription based services can provide another layer of protection, monitoring and blocking threats from hackers. these include products from cisco, vmware, and palo alto networks. >> during the pandemic, the gleam of cyber attacks on homes more than tripled. this year, more than two out of three small businesses in the u.s. can expect to be targeted. these attacks can have a disastrous effect on our businesses and families. faith: be suspicious of flash drives that are not your own.

hackers sometimes send infected devices to other people, or sprinkle them around in places like parking lots. once you plug it into your computer, bingo. >> we have to think like the attacker thinks. if we can put that malicious hat on, that will help us make better decisions. faith: lastly, be careful what you post online. hackers can use your social media posts to obtain personal information and then trick you into giving them potentially damaging information. it is called social engineering. in washington, faith abubey, abc news. ama: so many people put so much personal information out there. dan: it is hard not to. ama: spencer is not trying to get to us, unless it is just to tell us the weather. spencer: we will have increasing clouds tonight. some areas of low clouds and fog as well. low temperatures mainly in the mid to upper 40's. then tomorrow, a little bit of

the al cy young winner. the 49ers saved their season with a rout of the rams on monday night football. what do they do for an encore? this week, the 49ers have to travel across the country to phase one of the worst teams in the league, the jacksonville jaguars. this has led down written all over it. deebo samuel just named offensive player of the week, kicking up his heels. deebo 133 total yards against the rams. looks like he is running right to our cameraman. 49ers can even their record and win a spot in the wildcard race with a win on sunday. >> you have to realize the emotions that go into a monday night game are bigger with how badly we played before that. emotions are high. you have to watch for that stuff. >> just the leaders on the team. it starts with us, whether it is

walk-through practice. that mindset trickles down to everybody else. these short weeks happen quick. we were right back to it today. just got to get going with the right mindset. larry: i'm sure you heard the old announcement say you can throughout the records when these teams meet. i am sure they would love to throw out the records as they head into the 124th edition of the big game at stanford. the cardinals 3-7. rough years. records aside, beating your archrival is always a highlight. last year, cal scored a late touchdown final minute of the game. stanford secured the one-point victory. yet another crazy big game ending. >> it's nto about -- not about the previous game. it is not about any of the previous games. it is this week. it is rivalry week. this is a big game week. that is what the guys are focused on. >> we try to prepare the best we

can every week, but i want the players to understand the history of the big-game and what it means as one of the greatest rivalries in all of college football. we are playing the 124th edition. half of the games are decided by a touchdown or less. it means a lot to a number of people. larry: celebrity boxing is all the rage now. the 49ers legend will be fighting a former nba star december 18. he has been boxing as a way to get into shape for more than 15 years, but williams trains and owns a mixed martial arts gym in dallas. >> any guy willing to get in the ring has to be tough. i don't care what sport he played. december 18, i'm training my behind off. >> we are not trying to be boxers, but these opportunities are there. we are taking them. it's the same as if they started

a celebrity basketball league and there are boxers that love to play basketball. they would probably jump on it because they love basketball. larry: speaking of basketball, steph curry questionable for tomorrow's warriors game in cleveland with a hip contusion. not a serious thing. dan, would you get in the rain with celebrity boxing, or -- ring with its liberty boxing, or got to protect the moneymaker? dan: i would. not against frank gore. those two need to work on their trash talking. a little polite. larry: we will find an anchorman to pair you up with. ama: coming up on abc7, at 8:00, it's the goldbergs, then home economics, then abc7 news at 11:00. that will do it for this edition of abc7 news. dan: we appreciate your time. have a gre evening. we will see you again at 11:00.

>> i could not be anymore thankful. 7 is on your side. >> it's good instead of bad. it is life-affirming. >>
