maintenance yard. beside it, a sign that read your access and a ladder. >> i was in the emergency room the next weekend. my wife said you are having panic attacks. i thought i was having a panic attack. i thought i was having a heart attack. at first i thought he is bullying me for speaking out over a conversation we had months earlier where he asked me to do a job assignment and i said i'm open to doing whatever you ask me to do, but i want to let you know because you are new, i'm not a mechanic, i'm not an electrician. he literally blew up at me. he went from zero to 60 in five seconds.>> it wasn't a joke, it was predatory, it was bullying. to the school district purchasing technician said this was not an appropriate way to

use public resources. so we are a school district, our money is for students, and we are spending money and employee time and overtime to put at desk on a roof as a cruel prank. >> kasser and atkinson are two employees who have reported them into the district. the school district director of maintenance operations and facilities. he oversees everyone in the department, including these four, who provided the copies of their complaints against him. they said his behavior but three of them on medical leave for stress, and convinced bruce to retire early.>> they said i honestly feel like you are disrespecting me. he did this little shoulder thing and said i respect you. i said okay, thank you, i appreciate that. he stomped behind his desk, clenched his fist, and said i

board meeting.>> i'm here to speak to the superintendent. you have not directly respond to any of my calls or emails. you have received numerous complaints about kenneth turnage. has he been disciplined? he is accused of putting one of his employees address? on the rooftop, using district resources. what was your reaction to that? several employees feel he has not been properly disciplined because he has a close relationship to you, as well as your four husband, a former antioch police chief. how do you respond to that?>> these employees say the sounds makes them more uneasy. so i ready for complete evaluation. >> i'm scared what he's going to do to me.>> this problem doesn't just impact them, they say, but antioch schools as well. together, they represent the seven decades of experience maintaining school district

facilities. >> i wanted to spend two or three more years, i love my job, and i wanted to work longer, there's no reason i couldn't work longer. >> let me know if you change your mind about commenting, it is important to us that we get your side in our story.>> hours ago, the school district board president told me as a result of the investigation you just watch, he is calling for a special board meeting to talk about disciplinary or possible removal action against the public employee. he says they cannot disclose which employee, but he did say it relates to our report. he also wanted to share reports with the workers, offering an apology. >> i was so inspired by the bravery that these employees had to share their stories, to share the trauma that they've suffered through their employment at the school district. and i'm sorry that we have not done more to help address

this.>> this special meeting can only happen tomorrow if there is a morning meeting of a majority of board members in agreements to attend. there is no quorum as of right now, but it does not mean there will be no meeting, it just means it will not be tomorrow. i will keep everyone posted. with the investigative unit, nbc bay area news.>> thank you so much, candace. if you have a story for candace or our investigative unit, give us a call, or visit our website. a new battle of the bay, this time over a name, and now the courts will get involved. the city of san francisco is suing the city of oakland over the post renaming of oakland airport to san francisco bay oakland international. we are at the airport with a

look at lawsuit, and why oakland says it is not backing down.>> in a lawsuit filed in federal court, san francisco argues the law should prevent oakland from renaming oakland international to san francisco bay oakland international, saying the name infringes on a trademark, but will also confuse travelers.>> i thought i was in oakland, so that's weird. do they not have their own airport?>> clearly you come up here for the bay area, so i think the change of name is fine.>> port of oakland commissioners approved the new name last week. the lawsuit is demanding any new name that includes empress go be inhibited. this empress go david - - the san francisco attorney said it is clear there's only one airport. >> it has been trademarked for so long, it is incontestable under federal law. >> a portuguese has used the

and think you are going to san francisco, and you are going to end up in oakland.>> others don't believe it makes it difference, and say taxpayer money should be used for something more useful than a court fight.>> i think it's silly. a waste of money and resources, and time periods to the second and vinyl for the new name change will be voted on, may 9. how long would you give a business to fulfill a $600 order? one woman waited a year and a half and then contacted us. i will get you the latest on the droughmonitor, and wht at

vicki and her family. thank you. let's get a check of our forecast. we have been enjoying this really warm weather, but things are changing.>> how about a nice weekend? no rain. we are going to stay dry as we go through saturday and sunday, and then changes, including some colder temperatures, and eventually some rainfall coming on in. let's take a look at that microclimate forecast. i'm going to update you on the drought monitor. we will show you where it is the worst, certainly over texas, new mexico, arizona, central u.s., up toward the midwest, but look at this, happy to report no drought here through most of california, just a little bit toward the desert and toward the california and oregon border. we are insured to stay drought three free through at least six months, potentially even longer based on how the rain season has really come in for us.

most areas with a rain surplus, santa rosa up 4.77 inches. we are guaranteed this year will finish 100% or better. and 100% or better guaranteed for san francisco, a surplus of 3.30. there's not enough to put those areas into a drought. not only the rain season, but look at the snowpack. we have finished at 122% of normal. no drought, at least for the next six months, and potentially even longer than that, with this great season we've had coming on in. as we head through the weekend, we can sit back and enjoy the sunshine, because of this great

numbers. we've got high pressure moving in, bringing a mix of some sun, some clouds, and some fog. it will be real close, this snow track is just to the north, we will be staying dry throughout the bay area. as we started off for tomorrow, we've got the fog coming on back. through the afternoon, that fog clears back. we get sunshine inland. at the beaches, we still will see some on and off patchy clouds at times, with the fog pattern staying stubborn at the coastline. 31 at the peninsula, southbay at 50, more of those low 50s to the east bay, and right up toward the north bay. the daytime high is cooling off a little bit with that fog in the coastline, but we are staying above average, and comfortable. 77 in santa rosa, 76 in palo alto, upper 70s in san jose and morgan hill, 75 in martinez. look at this 10-day forecast, 70s and 80s through monday, then we drop off big time by next thursday, friday, and saturday. with that, we are looking at a slight chance of some rainfall.

as we head into wednesday and thursday, we will continue to closely monitor that. my goal and a few others might be doing this tomorrow, i'm going to try to maximize my time, get things done. enjoy the weekend.>> kick back and relax. great advice. thanks, joe. another off season of uncertainty after the season ended

is the dynasty over? the team missed the playoffs in both fashion, facing tough off- season decisions to get back on top.>> after losing to the kings in the play in game, the warriors are missing the playoffs for the third time in five seasons, but really, it's the first time since stefan curry, klay thompson and draymond green have all been healthy and able to play. the question heading into the off-season, does the front office believe the big three can still lead the warriors to a championship?>> as long as those guys are still really good, yeah, we can contend and compete, we unequivocally have to improve. >> the general manager is holding his end of the season

media availability to say. he says everything is on the table when it comes to evaluating the future of the team. dunleavy believes that future includes klay thompson. >> everybody wants him back. he still a really good player. >> after an up-and-down season and a scoreless performance against the kings, the nba champ is scheduled to become a free agent this summer, keeping thompson could come down to the almighty dollar. the shooting guard made north of $43 million last season. he might have to take a big pay cut to remain with golden state.>> i haven't thought about that deep in the future. i still need to process that year we had. >> chris paul is another aging veteran that they will have to decide if they are going to keep. the warriors are looking to get better while trying to trim spending, with salary and luxury tax, they've spent $400 million on a roster that was

not good enough to make the playoffs. >> it didn't make sense in hindsight to spend this much on a team that didn't make the playoffs. obviously we thought we would do better.>> adding size and more shooters is a priority. finding a second scorer will take some of the pressure off, and help the warriors extend a dynasty.>> it's pretty straightforward what we need to do, is get better. norman, bad news... i never graduated from med school. what? but the good news is... xfinity mobile just got even better! now, you can automatically connect to wifi speeds up to a gig on the go. plus, buy one unlimited line and get one free for a year. i gotta get this deal... that's like $20 a month per unlimited line...
