11:05 am
proponents of sb 328 have argued the old 8:00 a.m. start time was bad for teen's mental health and left them sleep deprived. adolescents stay up late and need to wake up later. the american academy of pediatrics agrees that, yes, teens should not start school before 8:30 in the morning. opponents to the law argued about the impact on school bus routes and parent' work schedules, especially when it comes to car pooling and whatnot. we spoke with a teenager who is about to become a junior at san jose mission high in fremont who can't wait for the extra half hour. >> not only myself. i notice a lot of kids in school, the first period they're super sleepy, unable to pay attention. i personally had my math class in first period and i saw a lot of people weren't able to perform their best. my math teacher was also -- first period was usually very low energy compared to the other
11:06 am
periods. >> it's actually a public health risk that increases their likelihood for becoming depressed, suffering from anxiety. it increases their suicide risk and we know teenagers are more likely to get in car accidents when they are sleep deprived, and they're more likely to miss school. >> reporter: a number of bay area high school districts like pleasanton unified which you can see return to school already swished to the 8:30 start time last fall. same with tamalpais high. their superintendent who agrees with the later start times tells us the mornings seem less frenetic but so far haven't seen an increase in attendance. she says they need more time away from the pandemic to see if this extra half hour is making much of a difference. the beginning of the year, some of the students at the school that had just gone to it were still adjusting. they didn't love it. just because they were getting up at 3:40 in the afternoon and
11:07 am
for some they felt that was a really long day, particularly in the winter when it starts to get dark earlier. overall we haven't heard a whole lot of complaints. >> reporter: this new 8:30 start time mandate does not impact zero period. that's the period before the regular class schedule begins. in livermore, bob redell, nbc bay area news. happening today, oakland education advocates demanding mandatory covid vaccines, more testing and a virtual education option will hold a car caravan in the east bay. it will go from oakland's federal building to the district headquarters. activists oppose the recent school closures including park elementary. the caravan begins at 4:00 p.m. new at 11:00, former president donald trump pleading the fifth during a deposition before lawyers from the new york attorney general's office. the d.a. is investigating the trump organization's valuation
11:08 am
of its holdings tied to bank loans and whether those valued were understated on tax filings. this is video of the former president leaving trump tower just this morning. last week his two eldest children testified in the same investigation and the trump family and the trump organization have denied any wrongdoing. this all comes after the former president and his allies ramped up their attacks on the fbi following that search by federal agents at miss mar-a-lago estate. trump and a group of supporters claim without evidence the investigation is politically motivated. nbc's chief white house correspondent kristen welker is following the latest in that investigation. >> reporter: overnight in a show of force, a group of house republicans having dinner and posing with former president trump at his home in new jersey. one of the congressmen who attended speaking out overnight. >> i've never seen president trump as fired up as what he was tonight. >> reporter: it comes amid dramatic new details about the

fbi's move to execute a search warrant at mar-a-lago, mr. trump's florida estate. a lawyer for mr. trump, christina bobb says his legal team had been discussing records stored at mar-a-lago since this spring. the news was first reported by "the washington post" who also said federal authorities were increasingly concerned mr. trump and his aides had not returned all documents that were public property. on monday bobb says the fbi removed about a dozen boxes from a basement storage area. >> they also said they were looking for evidence of a kriep as far as classified documents go. >> reporter: it comes as the former president and his allies are escalating attacks on the fbi claiming without evidence that the investigation is politically motivated. >> we're a nation that has weaponized its law enforcement against the opposing political party.
11:10 am
>> reporter: former vice president mike pence who has broken with mr. trump publicly is urging attorney general merrick garland to give a full accounting of the search. the justice department is not commenting. the search warrant remains under seal meaning details about what agents sought to remove from the residence are still secret. but experts say investigators had to meet a high bar to carry out the unprecedented search. >> the fbi can't get a search warrant unless it establishes probable cause to believe that a crime has been committed, a federal crime. >> reporter: and such a sensitive move to close to the midterm elections would almost certainly have to go through the highest levels of the justice department, including the usually cautious attorney general merrick garland. trump allies saying it may have made the former president more fired up to run again. >> i believe he was going to run before. i'm stronger in my belief now. it's time to take a look at what i would normally say is the

11:15 am
she's seen in this photo, wearing a black spaghetti strap body suit, green pant, block belt and black and white sneakers. we just got word this morning that investigators are still searching a heavily wooded area for any clues on kiely or her silver crv that is also missing. detectives say last time her phone pingd was a half hour past midnight august 6th. they plan to hold a news conference at 2:00 this afternoon and a community meeting at 5:30 tonight. the sheriff's office says they have had more than 100 tips, but no substantial ones from the two or 300 estimated people at that party which included teens from nevada all the way to the bay area. >> we have no interest in pursuing anybody criminally for engaging in any type of underage drinking or drug consumption. all we're interested in is

11:17 am
a look. >> there are hundreds of data points in the july consumer price index. how we talk about it depends on what data we're looking at and what timeline we're talking about. if you look month to month, we're paying less for all kinds of things. take a look. choosing some randomly from today's report. used cars and rental cars are slightly cheaper than a month earlier. the big changes are in gasoline, down 7%, airline takts down more than 9.5%. again, these are month-to-month changes. when we look from year to year, we're paying more than we did this time last year. inflation is still a factor. it would be entirely fair to use an up arrow in that context, but things are getting better and indeed faster than anticipated. it's a bit like the weather. if temperatures go from 95 to 85, it's still hot but cooler and getting better. it's all in the way you look at
11:18 am
it. back to you. >> thank you. we are moving you forward on the back-to-school and safety front, on top of mind of many students and teachers. when it comes to the debate about police in schools, there are different approaches. there's some evidence out there showing armed officers made many public schools safer and in some cases even prevented mass shootings. there's other data out there showing armed officers sometimes led to violent responses from officers. in response, some districts including oakland, san francisco and west contra costa removed sworn law enforcement from k-12 campuses. meantime, fremont and berkeley are among those committed to keeping the armed officers on campus. >> we have a school resource officer program where each of our high schools has a school resource officer, and they also support the various schools. in conjunction with the fremont
