are doing more with less, and this has been going on for years. usd has continued to push more cuts to schools and balance the budget with discriminatory closures. >> usd says the mergers would save the district $3 million. the union feels the district is inflating the amount of the budget deficit, basing it on peak spending during the pandemic rather than during typical years. the board will vote on the plan next month. on the peninsula now, a deal has been reached, ending a labor dispute between samtrans and bus operators. the san mateo county transit district's board of directors approved the latest four year contract, affecting about 400 union operators. members will receive close to a 4% average raise each year. the contract also includes pay adjustments for jobs, and samtrans says those jobs were below market value. operators had been working without a contract since the end of june. well, if you have plans to head

the north bay there. so this is where we're still looking at some flooding concerns. certainly around guerneville, johnson's beach, the russian river and the scattered light showers here. but you'll notice the rest of the bay really quiet with just some cloudy skies. and there's our flood warning until tomorrow morning. so you can see from jenner, monte, rio and guerneville. still looking at some rising creeks and streams for the next 24 hours. speaking of that, look at the rainfall. just trying to update these now. 2.65. half moon bay, the last 24 hours over four inches mount tam, nearly three inches santa rosa. look at that. 2.46 in oakland and livermore coming in at nearly three quarters of an inch and about an inch, and a half in hayward. so really unbelievable numbers there, 40s and some upper 40s and low 50s out there this morning. it's much cooler anywhere from a couple degrees to about 10 to 12

degrees cooler from hayward mountain view and livermore this morning. and that's all due to the system exiting and some cooler air behind it. we had all those southerly winds keeping us mild and everything quite gusty throughout the last couple of days. here we are 8:00 this morning. scattered light showers. the potential is there and then we'll look for partly cloudy conditions right on through sunday at about noontime when we get another wave of few light showers. still a level one system. you'll see by 9:00 a smattering of light rain and the next system, arriving on monday, looks to focus to the south of us, so we'll be looking at some heavier rain for the central coast and southern california, keeping us on the back side of it right on through about tuesday. so rainfall amounts throughout the weekend notice very light. just a couple hundredths here. that's some good news. and our winter storm warning continues for the west slopes of the sierra nevada greater lake tahoe. this is about 5500ft above 7000ft. you get a couple feet, but only a

into and out of sfo. number three, san francisco residents can pick up sandbags today from public works. at 2 p.m, the city saw major flooding in neighborhoods and even landslides. some of the worst flooding was near interstate 280. number four president elect donald trump revealed his picks to fill seven more positions in his cabinet. among those, johns hopkins professor marty mccarey for the fda, former congressman and doctor dave weldon to lead the cdc. number five israeli airstrikes have killed at least 11 people and injured dozens in central beirut as diplomats tried to broker a ceasefire. the lebanese health ministry said the death toll could rise as emergency responders look for survivors. strikes also continued in gaza. number six, the texas board of education approved a new k through five curriculum allowing bible teachings in classrooms. the instructional materials, called bluebonnet learning, are

developed by the state. the lessons would be optional. and number seven, the annual life sized gingerbread house at the fairmont here in san francisco, has returned. a ribbon cutting and tree lighting ceremony will be held today at 11 a.m, becoming climate ready can mean searching for big solutions. now, a research team at berkeley is focusing on a pollutant found across the globe plastic. and they've created a tool to help get rid of it. here's abc seven news meteorologist drew tuma. >> it pollutes the oceans and countries in nearly every continent, making its way into the food chain and our bodies. but a team from the university of california believes eliminating plastic pollution is not only possible, but achievable. this month, the united nations will conduct final negotiations on an international plastics treaty. >> it is truly a once in a lifetime opportunity to actually end this because plastic is such

a global problem, it's really hard to solve with san francisco doing the right thing, california doing the right thing, even the us doing the right thing. this is our one chance to come together as a planet. >> they're hoping to influence the outcome with something called the global plastic policy tool that we first profiled here on abc seven last year. the current version allows policy makers to click on any number of data points to see what the effects of a specific policy would be. among the possibilities requiring 40% of global plastic waste to be recycled, invest 50 billion in expanding waste management and introducing a packaging tax, a combination they believe could nearly eliminate most plastic pollution. >> and the first thing we discovered was really exciting observation that actually you can, at least theoretically, end plastic pollution using this treaty data scientists sierra martinez helped develop the too.

>> she says the challenge was to get it into the hands of decision makers, to help them understand the data and really put a connection of humans making decisions that really led to an improvement in our model, improvement in our tool. >> and i think that was the missing piece to kind of actually get it into the, the, the hands of people who could actually use it for good. >> they point out that microplastic particles are already making their way through the marine food chain and showing up in drinking water and even the human bloodstream, and they believe an enforceable global treaty may be the best chance to turn the health threat around and potentially life saving for the planet. >> so it certainly has the potential to be the thing that sets the stage for the rest of my life. the rest of our kids lives for coping with plastic pollution or eliminating it, hopefully outright. >> at berkeley. drew tuma abc seven news. >> still to come, this morning, the rain is not getting in the way of christmas in the park

keen at our level one system today. this is this morning with a few showers, slick roadways

less than 5/100, maybe a 10th up in santa rosa, but we are behind the heaviest rain. here's a look at live doppler seven right now. up to 118% of normal for san francisco. and how about 364% of normal in santa rosa with over 15 and a third inches of rain. so far for the season. so rain shadow effect in the south bay, allowing for about 25% of normal in san jose. and we continue to see some light showers, not only today, the next several days. so we're not turning it off totally, but enough so that we can definitely clean up and allow for the street, the streams and creeks to recede. even up in the north bay, there in sonoma county, guerneville, johnson's beach, we'll see that cresting later on today and still a flood warning, but very light returns here on live doppler seven so you can see up towards sonoma highway one

certainly where they don't need it. but overall we are quiet this morning and we'll get into dry conditions. in fact, looking at some sun for the rest of your saturday, here's the warning area from jenner and out towards guerneville here, where we're still looking at the russian river coming up to about 35ft. now, flood stage is around 32ft, so it will continue to rise causing moderate flooding. and then recede even with the showers that are still to come the next several days, because they will be very light anywhere from 2.98in in san francisco, the last 24 hours, over three and a half in san rafael, 2.87 santa rosa, san jose picked up a half inch and livermore 0.701.53, in hayward, redwood city, an inch and a third. and as you know, this all came down in a short period of time. so the soil not really able to absorb a lot of this along the peninsula and the east bay.

while up in the north bay we had the lighter rain and then just way too much rain. 49 in sonoma, 52 in vallejo. and you saw those mudslides. so we certainly need a break out there. five degrees cooler in half moon bay, 12 degrees cooler in san jose. let's plot it all out for you today. 830 notice maybe a light sprinkle or two, but we're already looking at a little bit of sunshine the rest of the day. partly cloudy. it will be certainly a nice day out there for the game over in berkeley and into your sunday, you'll see a few showers returning up to the north bay. this is noontime. the rest of us will be dry, but then by later on in the day this is 930 at night. a few light showers. so another level one. the next system focusing to the south of us. so we'll be on the periphery looking at still a level one, a few light showers. that's monday into tuesday as well. and then after that it looks like we do get a break. so adding up the rainfall amounts throughout the weekend pretty light. maybe a 10th or more to the north of us. and trace amounts elsewhere. winter storm

warning above 7000ft. so we're looking at still several feet of snow, but only about 2 to 8in around lake level. and this takes us through tuesday. so notice not a whole lot there. hoping for some colder air. 61 livermore today 60 downtown partly cloudy skies. the accuweather seven day forecast. level one systems. they'll be light right on through tuesday and then we're dry. partly cloudy on wednesday. thanksgiving looking nice. and then a few more clouds on friday. stephanie. >> all right lisa, thank you. on the ice now the sharks are back in the bay area after losing back to back games on the road. san jose takes on buffalo tonight at home inside sap center. face off is at 5:00 in the nfl. the 40 niners will have a new starting quarterback on sunday in green bay. here's abc seven sports director larry beil. >> good morning everybody. the task just got a lot tougher for the 40 niners in green bay on sunday. no brock purdy no nick bosa. that means longtime backup
