ama: the strike is on. that call coming a couple hours ago. tens of thousands of students in oakland will go without teachers tomorrow. dan: thank you for joining us. we will get to that major news in a moment but first we will turn to the weather because india. we really aren't done yet. no, i know you want to just ditch those umbrellas and say, let's forget about this. all right. we and then we will be done. let me show you live doppler 7 and show you what's going on right now. good evening to all of you. livermore is reporting light rain. dublin, livermore, watch out. the roads are slippery. around the santa cruz area as well. this stubborn area of low pressure, this light level one storm refuses to move away quickly.

it has been lingering off our coast, drying up all that moisture. it did bring us some lightning strikes earlier. the morning commute will begin with showers at 5:00. they are off and on showers through the afternoon and evening, and then winds down quickly and we will get a break. one thing you need to watch out for is theirs is -- there is so me fog along the coast and the peninsula. a lovely view. the weekend will feature a mixed bag. a one for saturday with some showers and drying out on sunday. a closer look in the forecast coming up. dan: don't forget. you can track the weather where you live on the abc 7 bay area app. it has the same live doppler 7 that our entire weather team uses every day. download it now wherever you stream. ama: let's get to the major news out of oakland. more than 3000 teachers and educators will be going on strike tomorrow. the district confirmed that to us tonight.

let's go to j.r. stone who is joining us live in the newsroom with what this means for the students. j.r.: the district says after seven days and nights on the bargaining table, the oakland education association has made the decision to strike. they tweeted this evening basically saying the district has been missing in action at the bargaining table and are demanding a livable wage. strike signs ready to go on the picket lines as the oakland unified school district notified parents around 9:00 wednesday night that teachers will go ahead with their planned strike on thursday. >> i don't know what's going on, but i am not bringing my children to school tomorrow because there is conflicting messages. j.r.: schools will be open according to the district, but luis says she's not bringing her daughter or niece to school. she made the decision before the district note went out. >> there may be teachers, there may not.

they are asking for parents to volunteer, but there are messages saying don't volunteer yet. i'm going to keep mine with me. j.r.: oakland unified says central office staff have been assigned to serve at schools to ensure students are safe. the teachers union says the union has failed to come to the table in good faith. parents we spoke with brought up teacher pay, specifically starting teacher pay which could be increased to slightly above $60,000. a number that is still being debated. >> everybody has to start somewhere, but you also have to be able to, number one, pay your bills. it is a very expensive area to live. j.r.: at least one parent we spoke with was vocal against any strike, saying kids are behind after covid closures and the 2019 strike. >> if you have salary disputes,

dispute that on the side. j.r.: parents picking up the children on wednesday say they stand with educators and support a short strike. >> if we were talking about, like months long or extended periods, i think that is concerning. i think a couple of days is something that we can figure out as a community. >> i support the teachers 100%, so i don't think it is their fault. i'm considering homeschooling actually because of school shootings and this stuff. j.r.: in a message to the community, the school district said the end of the school year is always filled with milestone events for the students, so they want to ensure regular school resumes as soon as possible. i met a number of kids this evening in oakland. you feel for them. seeing this is the second time in five years that these two sides could not come to an agreement. dan: you have to feel for them, absolutely. thanks. we want to give you now a breakdown of how the money

stacks up for teachers in oakland and in the bay area. we are spending time tonight in the deep dive at 11:00. here's the average pay for current teachers plus benefits depending on your experience. ranging from $52,000 for a first year teacher to more than $94,000 a year for veteran teachers. now, let's compare that to the state average. state data shows in a unified school district with more than 20,000 kids, first-year teachers get paid about the same as those in oakland. but, midcareer and experienced teachers in oakland are making less, around $5,000 to $10,000 on average. how does that compare to the rest of the bay area? we took an average -- a look the average teacher salary from other districts with roughly the same enrollment size. you see the average salary of oakland unified falls at the bottom and by a considerable amount.

interestingly enough, just a few days ago, a state lawmaker introduced a bill that would give teachers and staff a whopping 50% raise by 2030. >> if we want -- teachers and essential school staff what they deserve. dan: the bill would take the power of teacher salaries to the state. the proposal is moving through the state assembly this week. to find our full coverage on education in the bay area, check out abc7news.com. ama: chief william scott shared details about the fatal shooting by a walgreens security guard last week. speaking before the police commission tonight, chief scott set up the 24-year-old was suspected of shoplifting, spat on the guard and raised in arm towards the guard. that is when the guard drew his gun and fired. he was not shot in the back and brown was unarmed. san francisco district attorney brooke jenkins said she would

not seek a murder charge against the guard, citing insufficient evidence and the belief he acted in self-defense. chief scott told the commission this is still an open investigation. >> our folks have been asked by their chain of command to continue to investigate some of the things you are asking about. because we believe they are important to this case. ama: san francisco board president is now urging the d.a. to reconsider her decision. state senator scott wiener says brown's death was preventable. dan: our work to build a better bay area means taking a look at things that affect our everyday quality of life. yesterday stunning announcement of the closure of two norstrom stores in san francisco got us thinking, what might the future of retail, the future of shopping look like and how other places might be doing better. shoppers say they are not surprised by the news. they prefer to shop closer to

home. and for the convenience is one reason, parking is free and it is less busy. sean randolph says it could be time to rethink retail. >> i think there is a new model out there where the traditional retail mall is being rethought. retail has struggled a little bit in the pandemic but it is not going away. the question is how is retail designed in the future draw people in? dan: malls located in suburban areas are bringing tons of consumers to downtown walnut creek and valley fair. randolph says shopping areas are being redesigned to include entertainment, a variety of retail, and other amenities. ama: a strange mystery at a public garden in san jose. 50 koi have been stolen from the pond at the japanese friendship garden. as lauren martinez explains, these fish are not cheap.

lauren: iconic freshwater fish. staff at this supply store are reacting to the news that more than 50 of them were stolen from the japanese friendship garden in san jose. >> i was sad and disappointed why someone would go through that effort and steal fish from a park. lauren: a spokesperson from the department of parks and recreation services says it happened overnight on april 29. >> they were stolen over the previous weekend from isolation tanks. lauren: each fish costs about $75, so approximately $4000 worth of fish were stolen. in the 1960's, 300 koi fish were gifted to san jose from the city of okiana, japan. there are no 220 fish. >> we are definitely wrapping up our security. we have had several instances of break-ins in the past year, including stolen tools and

equipment. lauren: parks and recreation purchase supplies and food from champion mission, a koi and pond supply store. they cater to koi collectors. >> some people keep them for luck, most people keep them verb enjoyment. it depends on the quality of the fish, the pattern, the size. lauren: prices can range from $25 each to $25,000 each. >> not really easy to keep. lauren: he is surprised so many were taken during one night. the owner says he does not hear or see koi theft often. >> it is not easy selling that because people would recognize them, or they can remember the fish. it's not something you can just sell, like a stolen car. lauren: investigators say if anyone has information, please report it to the non-emergency line. lauren martinez, abc7news. ama: bart is showing off its

newest railcar. we will still get a boost from what it aims to do. dan: think of it of a state-of-the-art laboratory on wheels. bart calls it a real inspection vehicle. it can spot track defects or other problem spots that can slow our bart rides down. ama: onboard, high-tech lasers, sensors, high-definition cameras to scan and reactive trouble. bart expects to use it for the next 50 years. dan: shot and killed while driving down the street. the alarming allegations over what drove the shooter to pull the trigger. ama: more than a facebook friend. some safety measures are being questioned tonight on the app, messenger kids. dan: from homeless to $5 million. the bay area woman who got the bay area woman who got i've been telling everyone. the secret to great teeth... ...is having healthy gums. crest advanced gum restore detoxifies below the gum line and restores by helping heal gums in as little as 7 days.
