>>> THE USE OF ELECTRONIC DEVICES INSIDE THE CLASSROOM IS A HOT TOPIC FOR MANY PARENTS AND TEACHERS ACROSS THE STATE AND IS EXPECTED TO BE CENTER STAGE AT THE SCHOOL BOARD MEETING.

I'M MAYA TRABULSI.

KPBS EDUCATION REPORTER HAS A PREVIEW.

>> Reporter: THREE CHANGES WOULD TAKE EFFECT IN AUGUST.

TRANSITIONAL KINDERGARTEN STUDENTS NO LONGER HAVE LAPTOPS IN THE CLASSROOMS.

GAMING PLATFORMS WOULD BE BLOCKED ON SCHOOL DEVICES.

AND STUDENTS LOSE ACCESS TO YOUTUBE AND OTHER VIDEO STREAMING PLATFORMS UNLESS A TEACHER ALLOWS IT.

SHE HAS TWO DAUGHTERS IN THE DISTRICT.

>> I'VE SEEN THEY HAVE ACCESS TO YOUTUBE ON THEIR CHROMEBOOKS, SOMETIMES IN THE CLASSROOM, SOMETIMES AT HOME.

IT'S NOT IDEAL.

>> Reporter: THEY ALSO USED HELPFUL TOOLS LIKE AN ONLINE MATH PROGRAM HER DAUGHTER USED.

>> WHEN SHE GETS A PROBLEM WRONG, IT HELPS HER GET THROUGH IT.

AS A MOM WHO IS GOOD BUT NOT GREAT AT MATH, HAVING THAT ENVIRONMENT IS VALUABLE.

>> Reporter: DISTRICT LEADERS WANT TO LOOK AT THE BENEFITS AND DRAWBACKS OF TECHNOLOGY USE IN CLASSROOMS.

BY WINTER BREAK, THE GOAL IS TO CREATE GUIDELINES BY GRADE LEVEL.

NICOLE DeWITT.

WHICH APPLICATIONS SHOW THEY'RE HELPING IMPROVE STUDENT OUTCOMES?

THOSE WE'LL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT.

BUT IF THEY'RE NOT, WE'LL LOOK TO TRANSITION AWAY.

>> Reporter: AND THEY'RE LOOKING TO SHUT OFF ACCESS TO CHROMEBOOKS ON TIME.

>> WHAT'S MOST IMPORTANT IS STUDENTING INTERACTING WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS AT HOME AND GETTING TO SLEEP AT A GOOD HOUR.

ONE OF THE YS TO PROMOTE THAT IS TO REDUCE TIME ON SCREENS.

>> Reporter: THE LOCAL CHAPTER ON SCHOOLS BEYOND SCREENS SAYS IT'S FALLING SHORT ON SOME AREAS.

THEY WANT STUDENTS TO LEAVE THE CHROMEBOOKS IN THE CLASSROOM IN THE MIDDLE SCHOOL AND WANT THE OPTION TO OPT OUT IN THE SCHOOL DAY, THEY'RE GOING TO SPEAK TONIGHT.

>>> CITY LEADERS ARE CONSIDERING A FARE FREEZE PROGRAM FOR RIDERS ENROLLED IN PUBLIC ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS.

360,000 RESIDENTS RELY ON CAL FRESH AND OTHER 150,000 RELY ON HELP FOR RENT, GROCERIES AND BILLS.

RUBEN JUAREZ USES PUBLIC TRANSPORT.

>> AROUND FOUR TIMES.

WHEN I GOT TO GO TO CARE FOR MY LEGS.

>> AND THE FARE FREEZE IS GOING UP FOR APPROVAL.

THEY'RE MEETING TO DETERMINE HOW ELIGIBILITY AND ENROLLMENT WOULD BE ADMINISTERED.

>>> SAN DIEGO LOOKING TO SEE IF THEY CAN REPLACE THEM WITH THEIR OWN POWER.

THE CITY WOULD NEED TO PAY 2.4 TO 7.6 BILLION TO TAKE OVER SDG&E, SAVING CUSTOMERS $500 A YEAR DOWN THE LINE.

SOME ARE ALL FOR IT.

>> WE HAVE TO START MAKING DECISIONS THAT ARE GENERATIONAL IN EFFECT.

WE HAVE TO START THINKING WHAT WILL OUR KIDS AND GRANDKIDS INHERIT?

WILL THEY BE ABLE TO AFFORD TO LIVE IN SAN DIEGO?

>> YOU DON'T HAVE THE RESOURCES OR KNOWLEDGE TO DO THIS.

DON'T GAMBLE WITH MY JOB OR THE JOB OF MY UNION BROTHERS AND SISTERS, WE'LL NOT GO DOWN WITHOUT A FIGHT.

>> SDG&E SAYS THE PLAN IS FLAWED, AND HAS RISKS.

AND UNDERESTIMATES THE COST, THEY ESTIMATE AT $9.3 BILLION.

THIS IS AFTER THEY WANT TO RAISE RATES AGAIN IN 2028.

>>> TEMPERATURES ARE ABOUT WHERE THEY'VE BEEN ALL WEEK OVERNIGHT BUT -- I KNOW THAT ICON IS NEW.

NOT EVERYBODY IS GOING TO SEE RAIN TONIGHT.

EVEN THOSE WHO DO, IT'S NOT A LOT.

I'LL BREAK DOWN WHAT TO EXPECT COMING UP.

>>> A FUNNY SOUNDING NAME FOR A SERIOUS PROBLEM, A TINY BEAD OF PLASTIC THAT CAN GET INTO OUR WATER, FOOD AND BODIES AS WELL.

HERE'S AN EFFORT TO PUT A NUMBER TO THE PROBLEM.

>> Reporter: THE 2026 PLASTIC PELL OT COUNT SHOWS THEM POLLUTING WATERWAYS ALL OVER THE WORLD.

>> THEY'RE CLEAR, CAN EASILY BLEND INTO THE SAND SO YOU OFTEN DON'T KNOW THEY'RE THERE.

>> SHE DIRECTS THE CALPIRG EDUCATION FUND.

DURING MAY, OVER 1,000 VOLUNTEERS COMBED RAILWAYS, BEACHES AND WATERWAYS IN SIX COUNTRIES, COUNTING AND REMOVING POLLUTANTS.

>> TINY BEAD-LIKE PIECES OF PLASTIC THAT ARE RAW MATERIAL FOR PLASTIC ITEMS.

THEY'RE CREATED AND SHIPPED ALL OVER THE COUNTRY TO BE MELTED DOWN AND MOLDED INTO BOTTLES, BAGS AND OTHER PLASTIC ITEMS.

>> Reporter: THEY FOUND OVER 1 MILLION PELLETS.

IN CALIFORNIA, OVER 15,000 OF THE SO-CALLED NERDLES.

>> THEY'RE TREATED WITH CHEMICALS OR CAN ABSORB CHEMICALS THAT ARE EATEN BY FISH AND GET IN OUR BODIES.

>> Reporter: HOW THEY END UP IN THE WATERWAYS, THE POLLUTION TENDS TO BE NEAR SITES WHERE THEY'RE TRANSPORTED AND CAN COME FROM SPILLAGE OF RAIL TRANSPORT.

>> MORE WE LOOKED ALONG THE RAILROAD LINES, ESPECIALLY IN NORTH COUNTY WITH PROTECTED LAGOON HABITATS THAT THE RAIL LINES CROSS OVER, WE NOTICED THEM ALMOST EVERYWHERE WE LOOKED.

>> Reporter: PATRICK TOOK PART IN THE COUNT AT CARLSBAD NEAR A RAIL LINE.

MOST OF THEM FLOAT.

>> THEY REMAIN IN THE WATER AND OCEAN FOR POTENTIALLY HUNDREDS OR THOUSANDS OF YEARS AND END UP ALL OVER THE GLOBE.

>> Reporter: HIS ORGANIZATION IS ORGANIZING ANOTHER COUNT THIS JULY, KPBS NEWS.

>>> THERE HAVE BEEN 15 NEW SCREWWORM INFECTIONS IN U.S.

ANIMALS.

NO LOCALLY RECORDED CASES IN HUMANS AND RISK TO PEOPLE IS LOW.

BUT THE PARASITIC FLY CAN INFECT HUMANS AND THE AGENCY IS ASKING PEOPLE TO WATCH OUT FOR SYMPTOMS.

>> Reporter: IT'S A SPECIES OF PARASITIC FLY THAT FEEDS ON THE FLESH OF WARM-BLOODED ANIMALS AND PEOPLE.

NEW WORLD SCREWWORMS LAY EGGS IN WOUNDS AND BODY OPENINGS THAT HATCH INTO LARVA AND EAT LIVE TISSUE.

>> WE'RE HOPING FOR THE BEST, WHERE THE STATES AND U.S.

ARE ALIGNED.

>> Reporter: TEXAS HAS HAD THE MAJORITY OF CASES.

A DOG WAS INFECTED IN NEW MEXICO.

ONE WAY THE U.S.

IS RESPONDING IS STERILE FLIES, A TECHNIQUE THAT AFFECTS THEIR ABILITY TO REPRODUCE.

>> THAT WAS VERY SUCCESSFUL IN THE UNITED STATES AND THROUGH CENTRAL AMERICA IN THE '50s, '60s AND EARLY 2000s AND I BELIEVE IT CAN BE AGAIN.

>> Reporter: THE CDC SAYS THE RISK TO HUMANS REMAINS LOW BUT WATCH FOR SYMPTOMS, UNEXPLAINED WOUNDS OR SORES THAT DON'T HEAL.

FOUL-SMELLING ODOR OR BLEEDING.

MAGGOTS, FEELING MOVEMENT, AND REPORT TO LOCAL AND STATE HEALTH OFFICIALS.

PROTECT IN AREAS THE FLIES ARE PRESENT BY KEEPING OPEN WOUNDS CLEAN AND COVERED.

LIMIT EXPOSED SKIN WEARING LONG CLOTHING, USE AN EPA REGISTERED INSECT REPELLENT.

SLEEP IN DOORS WITH SCREENS.

VERBAL THREATS, HARASSMENT, PHYSICAL ASSAULT AND SEXUAL VIOLENCE.

JANE THOMPSON WITH NATIONAL NURSES UNITED.

>> WE ALSO SAW THAT HEALTH CARE EMPLOYERS ARE NOT PUTTING IN PLACE THE MEASURES WE KNOW CAN PREVENT WORKPLACE VIOLENCE.

THINGS LIKE TRAINING, STAFFING, METAL DETECTORS, INCIDENT REPORTING AND FOLLOW-UP.

>> Reporter: THE UNION IS PUSHING FOR A FEDERAL WORKPLACE VIOLENCE PREVENTION STANDARD.

>> THE FEDERAL BILL IS BASED ON OUR EXPERIENCE IN CALIFORNIA, WITH WHAT HAS WORKED WELL HERE.

AND TAKE THAT STANDARD AND APPLY IT TO ALL STATES.

>> Reporter: CALIFORNIA ALREADY REQUIRES HOSPITALS TO MAINTAIN WORKPLACE VIOLENCE PREVENTION PLANS AND TRAIN EMPLOYEES.

AT SCRIPPS HEALTH, EVENTS HAVE LED TO -- >> A HUGE IMPROVEMENT IN THE REDUCTION OF INJURIES.

>> Reporter: HE'S THE CEO, HE HELPED LAUNCH A REGIONAL TASK FORCE IN 2023 THAT BROUGHT HOSPITALS, LAW ENFORCEMENT AND PROSECUTORS TOGETHER.

>> NOW IN SAN DIEGO THERE'S PROSECUTORS THAT HANDLE HEALTH CARE WORKPLACE VIOLENCE CASES.

>> Reporter: THE SAN DIEGO COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEYS OFFICE HAS PROSECUTED MANY CASES SINCE JULY 2023.

STILL VIOLENCE IN HEALTH CARE CAN'T BE SOLVED BY HOSPITALS ALONE.

>> IT'S THE HOSPITAL, ALSO THE LAW ENFORCEMENT, THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY, THE CITY ATTORNEY, THE SOCIAL SERVICES PROGRAMS.

THE COMMUNITY NEEDS TO SURROUND THE HOSPITAL.

>> Reporter: HE SAYS WORKPLACE VIOLENCE MAY NEVER DISAPPEAR COMPLETELY, BUT HE BELIEVES HOSPITALS AND COMMUNITY PARTNERS MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

>> REDUCE IT TO ZERO?

NO.

CAN WE REDUCE IT?

YES.

>> Reporter: HEIDI DeMARCO, KPBS NEWS.

>>> AMERICANS ARE HAVING FEWER BABIES THAN EVER, RESEARCHERS ARE LOOKING INTO A CONTRIBUTOR TO THE DECLINE, SMARTPHONES.

OUR PHONES MAY BE RESHAPING HOW WE BEHAVE.

>> Reporter: IS THE iPHONE BIRTH CONTROL?

THAT'S ASKED IN A RECENT WORKING PAPER PUBLISHED IN THE NATIONAL BUREAU OF ECONOMIC RESEARCH.

>> TRYING TO UNDERSTAND HOW OUR SMARTPHONES HAVE CHANGED HUMAN INTERACTION.

>> Reporter: RESEARCHERS STUDIED THE LINK BETWEEN THE ROLLOUT OF THE ORIGINAL NETWORK AND CHANGE IN FERTILE RATES.

THEY ESTIMATE THE SMARTPHONE EXPLAINS PART OF THE RATE.

>> RATHER THAN MAKING PLANS, IT'S EASIER TO REVERT TO GOING ONTO MY PHONE AND COMMUNICATING WITH PEOPLE THROUGH A TEXT.

>> Reporter: OTHER EXPERTS ARE SKEPTICAL THAT iPHONES, PARTICULARLY THE EARLY MODELS, COULD HAVE GREATLY IMPACTED BIRTH RATES AS THE STUDY CLAIMS.

>> WE DIDN'T HAVE THE APP STORE, COULDN'T STREAM VIDEO, WASN'T INSTAGRAM.

>> Reporter: INSTEAD POINTING TO OTHER FACTORS.

>> 2008 RECESSION, FINANCIAL CRISIS AND HOUSING CRISIS THAT AFFECTED PEOPLE IN ALL KINDS OF WAYS.

BIRTH RATES IN WOMEN OVER 30 HAVE GONE UP, PEOPLE ARE POSTPONING TO LATER AGES.

AND WE HAVE YET TO SEE HOW THAT PLAYS OUT.

>>> AS PART OF THE AMERICA 250 INITIATIVE, WE'RE EXPLORING STORIES OF OUR NATION.

IN CALIFORNIA, EVERYTHING WOULD CHANGE WHEN SPANISH ENTERED THE TRADITIONAL TERRITORY, BRINGING VIOLENCE, CONTROL AND DISRUPTION TO LIFE, CULTURE AND IDENTITY.

WHAT FOLLOWED WAS COLONIZATION AND A FIGHT FOR SURVIVAL AS THE FIRST PEOPLES AND THE NATION RESISTED FROM THE VERY BEGINNING.

ELSA HAS THE STORY.

>> Reporter: THE SPANISH ARRIVED IN KUMIAI TERRITORY IN NORTHERN BAJA, CALIFORNIA, IN 1542, BUT IT WOULD TAKE ANOTHER 200 PLUS YEARS TO RETURN WITH SOLDIERS AND MISSIONARIES IN 1769 TO STAY.

THEY WOULD BUILD THE FIRST MISSION AND PRESIDIO IN SAN DIEGO MARKING THE BEGINNING OF A SYSTEM TO DEEPLY DISRUPT LIFE IN THE REGION.

>> THIS IS A SPECIAL PLACE FOR OUR PEOPLE.

A VILLAGE HERE WAS A FRESH WATER SPRING, RARE ALONG THE COAST.

IT PROVIDED THE PEOPLE AND THE SPANISH FRESH WATER.

>> Reporter: THE VILLAGE WAS AT THE FOOT OF PRESIDIO HILL NEAR MIDTOWN.

A MISSION SYSTEM OF CONTROL RESHAPED DAILY LIFE.

THE CLANS IN THE REGION WERE CONFINED TO IMPOSED SYSTEMS THAT RESTRICTED MOVEMENT, ENFORCED LEADERSHIP AND NEW WAYS OF LIVING.

EVIDENCE REVEALS THE TOLL.

MALNUTRITION, FORCED LABOR AND LIVES DISRUPTED UNDER COLONIAL RULE.

>> THESE BONES SHOWED SIGNS OF SEVERE MALNUTRITION.

THESE PEOPLE WERE PUSHED CONSTANTLY, NO BREAKS.

SIMILAR TO A PRISONER OF WAR CAMP.

>> Reporter: THIS WAS PART OF A BROADER PATTERN AS NATIONS EXPANDED AT THE EXPENSE OF NATIONS IN NORTH AMERICA.

FOR THE PEOPLE AND THEIR CLANS, IT WAS DEVASTATING.

>> WE LOST STORYTELLERS AND ELDERS AND MUCH OF THE STORY WAS LOT OF.

WE SPENT FROM THEN TO NOW KEEPING WHAT WAS LEFT AND RESTORING WHAT WAS LEFT.

>> Reporter: THE PEOPLE RESISTED FROM THE START.

IN 1775, THEY BURNED THE MISSION, IT WAS DESTROYED BUT LATER REBUILT.

SPAIN WOULD CONTINUE ITS EXPANSION, EVENTUALLY BUILDING 21 MISSIONS ACROSS CALIFORNIA.

AT THE SAME TIME, RESISTANCE WAS RISING ACROSS THE CONTINENT.

IN THE EAST COAST, FIGHTING BEGAN IN LEXINGTON AND CONCORD IN 1775.

COLONISTS SEEKING INDEPENDENCE AND SELF-RULE.

TWO STRUGGLES IN THE SAME YEAR, SAME LAND.

ONE LED TO INDEPENDENCE IN THE EAST, THE OTHER CONTINUED COLONIZATION IN THE WEST.

>> THE SPANISH WANTED TO SPREAD THE RELIGION AND HAVE CHURCHES IN DIFFERENT AREAS AND CONVERT THE KUMIAY.

>> Reporter: AS THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION UNFOLDED, THE FIRST PEOPLES OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA CONTINUED FIGHTING FOR SURVIVAL, LAND AND IDENTITY.

THEIR RESILIENCE AND ADAPTABILITY CONTINUED TO CARRY THEM FORWARD.

♪ >> THAT WAS A SEGMENT FROM ELSA'S RIES.

STREAM THEM ON LINE.

KPBS.

>>> TRAVELERS PLANS HAVE SHIFTED FROM READY AND OPEN TO ADVENTURE DO SELECTIVE.

IVAN RODRIGUEZ BREAKS DOWN THE LATEST.

>> Reporter: SUMMER TRAVEL IS IN FULL SWING BUT THE WAY PEOPLE ARE CHOOSING TO TRAVEL IS SEEING A SHIFT.

41% DESCRIBE THEMSELVES AS SELECTIVE, UP FROM 29% LAST YEAR, UP OVER THOSE SEEKING ADVENTURE.

>> THERE'S A TALE OF TWO TRAVELERS FOR THE SUMMER.

IT REALLY STARTS TO SPLIT IN DIFFERENT INCOME LEVELS.

>> Reporter: BUDGET IS THE NUMBER ONE BARRIER TO TRAVEL FOR 39% OF TRAVELERS EARNING UNDER $150,000 A YEAR.

70,000 OR LESS ARE PULLING BACK HARDEST.

1 IN 4 WILL TAKE FEWER TRIPS AND ANOTHER 1 IN 4 ARE STAYING CLOSE TO HOME.

>> THE LOWER INCOME TRAVELER IS CITING LIMITATIONS HOW MUCH THEY'RE GOING TO SPEND.

>> Reporter: THE RESULT IS THE BACKYARD SUMMER.

DOMESTIC TRAVEL HAS SLIGHTLY INCREASED, AS WELL AS STAYCATIONS.

>> IT'S NOT A CONVERSATION ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT PEOPLE ARE TRAVELING BUT HOW PEOPLE ARE LOOKING TO BE MORE SELECTIVE, CONTINUE TO TRAVEL BUT DO IT SMARTLY, AMID HAVING BUDGETARY CONCERNS THIS YEAR.

>> IVAN RODRIGUEZ REPORTING.

>>> WE ARE TRACKING SOME RAIN CHANCES.

TONIGHT, OVERNIGHT, INTO WEDNESDAY.

NOT FOR EVERYBODY.

WE'LL BREAK IT DOWN IN A COUPLE OF MINUTES.

FIRST, OTHER HEADLINE FOR THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK, PEAK OF THE HEAT FOR SOME OF US IS HERE, OTHERS ARRIVING TOMORROW.

BY THE WEEKEND YOU'LL NOTICE THE DIFFERENCE.

SOME WILL SEE 30 TO 40-MILE-PER-HOUR GUSTS INTO THE VALLEY ESPECIALLY.

THIS IS YOUR EARLY HEADS UP FOR ANYTHING OUTDOORS YOU DON'T WANT TO DEAL WITH GUSTY WINDS AND FIRE DANGER.

TONIGHT, THE RAIN ICON, I'LL SHOW YOU THE FUTURE RADAR IN A MINUTE HERE.

BECAUSE THE ICONS MAKE IT SEEM LIKE A BIGGER DEAL THAN IT'S GOING TO BE.

TEMPERATURE-WISE, WE'RE IN THE 70s IN BORREGO SPRINGS, 58 FOR RAMONA AND 60s AT THE COAST.

TOMORROW, THE MOUNTAINS AND DESERTS HAVE THE BEST RAIN CHANCES.

DOESN'T GET US OUT OF THE TRIPLE DIGITS THOUGH, 83 FOR EL CAJON.

THIS EVENING IS A BETTER SHOT.

OVERNIGHT, I STOPPED IT AT 1:00 A.M.

IT'S DECREASED, HOW MUCH RAIN ON FUTURE RADAR.

BUT EVEN WHAT YOU SEE THIS MODEL COULD BE OVERDONE.

THE SYSTEM IS WEAKENING IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, SO IT'S VERY SPOTTY FOR ANYONE THAT SEES RAIN AT ALL.

BUT I WANT YOU TO BE PREPARED.

IT'S NEVER FUN TO BE OUT AND ABOUT AND GET STUCK WITHOUT A RAIN JACKET OR UMBRELLA.

TOMORROW THE RAIN CHANCES DWINDLE AS THE SYSTEM MOVES OUT.

OTHER THING TO HIGHLIGHT, NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION TO SEE DRY LIGHTNING OR DON'T HAVE ENOUGH RAIN ALONG WITH LIGHTNING TO MITIGATE FIRE RISKS.

ANOTHER FACTOR TO KEEP IN MIND.

FIVE-DAY OUTLOOK ALONG THE COAST, NOTHING NEW, STATUS QUO.

A LITTLE BIT OF A CHANGE IN LOW TEMPERATURES THURSDAY AND FRIDAY, COOLER THAN WE HAVE BEEN.

OUT OF THE 80s, COOLING TREND, INTO THE MOUNTAIN REGIONS, WE COULD SEE A FEW SHOWERS TONIGHT.

OVERNIGHT INTO TOMORROW, BUT TEMPERATURES GET BACK INTO THE 60s.

63 SATURDAY, BUT THE ROLLER COASTER CONTINUES ON SUNDAY.

AND THE DESERTS, SHOWER CHANCES DOESN'T GET IT OUT OF THE TRIPLE DIGITS, BUT THE COOLING TREND SLOWLY BY THE WEEKEND -- SUNDAY, 92, THAT MIGHT BE YOUR DAY TO PLAN ANYTHING OUTSIDE.

FOR KPBS NEWS, I'M FROM ACCUWEATHER.
