same time as the jewish observation of yom kippur. >> yom kippur is one of our major holy days in the year. >> reporter: she is with the relations council in san francisco. parents approached the group to ask about what they should do but never asked for the school to cancel the dance. >> the school took it upon themselves to push it off another week to all students could take part. >> reporter: it gives principals a list of religious holidays each year and plays no role in scheduling or approving events like a dance. >> it was an honest mistake that they didn't make that connection so now they're correcting that mistake. >> reporter: this lowell seniors says the problem isn't about one high school dance. she has a problem with a much bigger picture. >> everybody knows christmas and the trees and everything and nobody would ever have anything on that day, but it seems like sometimes jewish holidays are overlooked. >> reporter: now, some students had said they were upset because

persons here. and we need to figure out ways of thinking about public policy that makes sense with regards to those people. >> the bill got bipartisan support and was passed within the final few hours of the legislative session. two bills dealing with new safety standards for limos are on the way to governor brown's desk. regular safety inspections of all limos as well as emergency exits and safety briefings for passengers. it will impact limos in southern california. the senate majority leader from east bay introduced the bill after a limo fire killed five women in may on the san mateo bridge. governor brown has until october 13th to sign the bills into law. what's the next stop for the possible b.a.r.t. strike, proposing a plan b. to keep trains running if no agreement is reached and workers strike yet again. nbc bay area's jodi hernandez joins us in oakland this evening with details. jodi? >> reporter: raj, part says it hasn't made much progress at all

run trains is absurd. she says train operators undergo 16 weeks of training and must get recertified each year. she says it would take far too long to get managers up to speed. >> they don't know how to troubleshoot, don't know how to evacuate. >> reporter: b.a.r.t. riders we talked to seem skeptical, too. while he doesn't want a strike, he wouldn't want managers to take the helm of the trains, either. >> operators know the lines, know their work. they're trained. managers should just manage the operations, not the trains themselves. >> reporter: b.a.r.t.'s assistant general manager says if they do turn to managers to operate the trains, it would be a very limited service. basically a lifeline into and out of the city. now, ultimately it will be up to the b.a.r.t. board of directors to approve such a plan. meanwhile, both sides are gearing up to go back to t

including the 12 with certified plans on covered california. now for the whole state of california, there are 12 insurance companies offering health care plans on the exchange. you can see them in the list on the right hand side of your page. that doesn't mean there are 12 companies in your region. in fact, that number tends to vary quite a bit. there are 19 regions in the state of california. in san francisco, for example, there are five different companies offering plans. they range from hmos to ppos. we'll explain all that in a later story. in alameda county, there are four different insurance companies with plans and in the santa cruz/monterey region, there are three companies. so where you live will determine how many companies you can choose from but typically it's going to be between three and five different companies. once you've narrowed down a plan you like, it's important to remember you still have plenty of choices. now, each plan comes with an option of four different tiers. platinum, gold, silver and bronze. now, keep in mind, the only

difference for all of these is how much you're paying upfront in premiums versus how much you'll pay later in co-pays and medical bills. that's it. for example, the platinum plan will cover roughly 90% of your medical bills but in turn you'll pay more money in premiums upfront. on the other hand at the other end of the spectrum, the bronze plan covers the lowest percentage of your bills, 60% or so. for those who don't think they're going to get sick or aren't worried about bills, premiums will be significantly lower. >> all the benefits are the same depending on which level you're at. bronze, silver, gold or platinum. and that allows customers to make what we call an apples to apples comparison. so that no longer are they trying to figure out what benefits am i getting? now they only have to figure out what they're going to cost and is my hospital and doctor within that plan? >> and that's the key question. which plans, if any, will have the doctors and the hospitals that you're familiar with? some of those details i'm told are still being ironed out. but when the site launches on

october the 1st, there will be a way to view all the providers within each plan. next week, we'll look at available subsidies and how you can get the best bang for your buck. i'm sam brock. that's today's reality check. >> thank you, sam. our 5:00 newscast and throughout this newscast we asked should b.a.r.t. managers be allowed to drive the trains in event of a strike in october? the results are in. 76% of you say yes. 24% of you say no. still ahead here at 6:00, how about a $10 airfare to hawaii? seriously. the big mistake by united airlines and their response today. stay with us. >> that sounds good, raj. good evening. i'm jeff ranieri in the nbc bay area weather center. we have a nice cool breeze this evening main want to get outside and enjoy it. we're going to be looking at big-time changes on the way. even including some rainfall. back with your seven-day forecast in a few minutes.
