the transition that's not really transitioning right now because of some delays from the trump administration. roadblocks -- a trump appointee in charge of helping with the transition, has not provided office space, security hernss and classified information agreed to in advance. biden officials say they have not ruled out legal action to make that happen. and attorney general william barr is telling federal prosecutors it's okay to investigate if they find substantial allegations of election fraud. >> president trump is 100% within his rights to look into allegations of irregularities and weigh his legal options. >> lawsuits must have basis and facts and evidence, and, make no mistake, there has been no evidence of any significant or widespread voter fraud. >> reporter: reaction from capitol hill as the president makes more baseless and disputed

allegations and fires secretary of defense mark esper. >> no problem. i consider firing everybody. >> reporter: president-elect biden is focusing forward speaking today on the affordable care act as the supreme court hears the case to overturn it. on monday he named a covid advisory group and urged americans to protect themselves from the escalating virus. >> i implore you, wear a mask. do it for yourself. do it for your neighbor. a mask is not a political statement. but it is a good way to start pulling the country together. >> reporter: the biden team says he'll reverse several trump policies on day one. so those policies include rejoining the paris climate agreement, the world health organization, reinstating immigration for mostly muslim countries. remember the trump administration shut a lot of that down. and he also wants to ensure and

day one that daca is in place, that policy that allows immigrants brought here as children to stay in the u.s. legally. all of those orders being prepared for the first day that biden is in office. >> a lot of those orders no surprise that he's making those particular moves. we'll be watching. thanks, tracie. it is 5:04. developing this morning a shake-up at one peninsula school district. the result of inflammatory tweets. las lomitas jon venverloh is stepping down. his wife tweeted and was widely criticized. people in menlo park have wide reaction. >> so many things are going on in the school district. they need to be super focused. >> he's not really responsible for what she said, but usually

to incorporate social distancing and have proper ventilation. "the examiner" revealed a reopening could cost as much as $84 million for the district. sf unified is expected to release details of their progress of that plan at the next board meeting which is a week from today. and while the city's district works to create a plan, school leaders in palo alto have revealed their plan and if approved by the board the proposed hybrid model is expected to begin as early as january 7th. under the new plan the second half of the school year will look completely different than anything we have seen in years passed. they will have to enter due to specific times. there won't be lockers and students will be expected to use assigned seats and in terms of school lunches that will be grab and go style. again, nothing is completely finalized right now. both districts have to have their plans approved by the board so come january it's a possibility that thousands of students here in the bay area could be entering yet another
