the schools closing. parents have long argued the district has enough money to keep all schools open. the district disagrees. >> we have essentially chosen, without ever having a conversation about it, to operate more schools than we can afford. reporter: that was an interview earlier this month with the outgoing school board member. she acknowledged there is a reserve largely funded with one-time covid money that will soon run out. >> the county office of education has -- and of the state, has been quite clear that we cannot continue to use one-time funds to pay for ongoing operating expenses. reporter: in a statement, the school district said, we would ask if they choose a different manner of protest that doesn't disrupt staff and the need to close out the year. but parents say they are not going anywhere. >> we want our school back, and if they are not going to give it to us, we will take it.

70's, the gas lines and you think, two dollars a gallon, three dollars a gallon, it can't go higher than four dollars, and here we are at six dollars? spencer: that's what we thought then, and here we are. it is going up and up. dion: it makes you year and for the days of working from home, i imagine, not having to pay for the commute. mike: i did my hybrid because i could not get an electric car in christmas when my car finally said after three under thousand miles, i am tired. but i have an electric one. like most people, i ordered it in december and he will be delivered hopefully the middle of july. larry: the chip shortage has gotten everybody. you should have told your car, i was getting up at 3:00 in the morning every day or earlier. worker shortages a way of life right now. there is word of another shortage -- lifeguards. the american lifeguard association says nearly a third

to half of the nation's 300,000 pools might be affected. some cities have decided they will keep the pools closed this summer. ask versus say low pay and lack of interest from teenagers compound the issue. what makes this bad is you know who this will hit the hardest, and it will be communities of color, where you don't have enough people or the resources and they are the kids that will not have the opportunities. spencer: that is true, as is the case with many other challenges we face. it is really unfortunate. the pay is so low and young teenagers are not so much interested in lifeguarding anymore. it is such an important and rewarding i would think position to have. larry: especially if you are in a situation where you can teach little kids how to swim. mike, my kids did the same thing. every year, summer camp. cannot have that available for sony parents is hard.

mike: that's what i did most of the summer, i got up early most of my life for swimming, and then you were a lifeguard the rest of the day and then have an afternoon swim and go home. finding my wistful -- my whistle and zinc oxide.

"think of planet earth, people are destroying it." people in wheelchairs can get closer to the painting. security tackled the man. the painting was not damaged. my first thought, in addition to why people would want to crowd around such a small painting, albeit iconic one, is i am not condoning this behavior, but if you want to get your message out, it got the world's attention. spencer: listen, i have been involved in all kinds of demonstrations. i marched against the war in vietnam and civil-rights. i would always prefer to choose a form of protest that is going to attract support and not his people off. larry: yeah. mike: i thought the absurdity of trying to deface or destroy something like that to get a point across is just absurd. dion: it ruins the experience of all of the people that were

around and the drama, and also the fear of potentially damaging a historic piece of art. larry: they are smart enough to keep it protected, but when i heard the headline, i did not hear the part about why he was doing what he was doing. i think that part of his message might be lost. they can say some nut job was going after the mona lisa. we do need to save the planet, that is for sure, but there are better ways to demonstrate how you feel. here at abc 7, we are celebrating a special anniversary for one of our colleagues, yesterday was the 50th year reporter david lui has worked for abc owned stations. the vast majority at channel seven. david marked the anniversary by posting a simple message on his facebook page, saying thank you for allowing me to share your stories and turning to us for news. dion: such a class act. larry: spencer, you've got to be
