some hard conversations in terms of what options the board is going to have to make decisions about. lena: the board member decide hopes the changes to the salary schedule will help with teacher retention. >> i was making teachers leave oakland, so they can get to the top salary faster. we shortened that, and added extra amounts on the salary schedule to incentivize teachers to stay in oakland. >> it is very frustrating. lena: some parents like reginald, who crossed the picket line to drop his kids off, alll seven days of the strike says, the strike could have been a voted on the heels of the pandemic. now, with just eight days left in the school year, he is worried about even more learning loss. >> they have lost their momentum, and their drive. that is very important. you have kids going in a certain direction. all of a sudden you have stopped for seven days. they don't have the drive to keep going, or pick up and keep

challenge. first, there is no perfect solution. second, there is often pressure in san francisco to come with the politically correct solution. larry: nonprofit workers say one key to solving the challenge is to pay front-line workers a living wage. members of the service employees international union are calling on leaders to fund cost-of-living adjustments. lope is causing high turnover and short staffing. it represents 1500 nonprofit workers across san francisco, many tackle drug addition, housing and security, and mental health. san francisco will launch its biggest change to the cities parking meters in nearly 70 years. sfmta plans to extend metered parking hours until 10:00 p.m., monday through saturday. the agency is adding sunday meter hours from noon until 6:00. the changes will be made in six phases starting this summer until the end of next year. sfmta says this will make

oakland. it's the leader of the path in terms of news the past few years. let's pick up here. today's news of a binding agreement with valleys and gaming and leisure properties, not to be confused with a binding agreement the a's had a few weeks ago for another piece of land in vegas. we've seen this winding agreement and shovel in the ground are two different things. casey: they're working on a binding agreement and at they were working on an agreement at the wild wild west site in las vegas. a week later they're working at an agreement at the tropicana site. the only thing consistent is that these winding agreements come with a nine figure ask. they want a lot of public funds, up to $400 million, even on this site. which i caution people when they hear the news, until you see the legislation, or read the fine print, or see the real ask, it

is hard to say what is truly going on. they're getting free land in a las vegas but they need $400 million to build the stadium. what is going on here? larry: you would think a billionaire owner would not be -- need the money if you're getting the land for free. the aza said they were building on nine acres at the tropicana, then that became 12 acres. espn put out a story saying it is 35 acres. do we know what it is? casey: it is actually nine acres. they said it would be nine, maybe 12, back to nine. the rest of the site is going to be for the tropicana people, the bally's people to develop themselves. if you look at howard terminal, that was 55 acres. the a's were going to build a statement -- a stadium, and the rest would have waterfront property to develop these other real estate, that they can make money out of. in the tropicana, it is nine acres.

it is small. oracle parkas 12.5 acres. you can see how small mine acres is. larry: if all this were to happen, they have to play somewhere, until the stadium is complete in vegas. that will not be oakland. any reaction from the major league baseball players association about having mike trout playing in a minor-league park for several years outdoors, 110 degrees summer heat in vegas? casey: las vegas in the summer, there is a reason that this ballpark proposal, the a's are putting out there, includes a retractable roof. if you're going to put these big stars in vegas on a field they are talking about adding astroturf to and expect the games biggest ours to play -- starts to play in 120 degree heat. you're asking for something big.

they played in the park because the were called from aaa. but the big-name stars, they're going to want to be protected. interestingly enough, i caught up with the a's manager, if they were to try to stay and play seeing t in the oelsasellm.e not t cong to concern, they're just trying to get out there and win. they can spend another two years here max. larry: to be continued. casey pratt, thanks for the time. kristen: memorial day weekend could you record-setting start to the summer travel season. aaa predicts 37 million americans will road trip for the upcoming holiday. airports are expected to be packed, like we have not seen since 2005. sfo as per -- forecasting its highest level of traffic.
