Research at The Ohio State University is on a roll.

As students continue to move in ahead of the start of autumn semester next week, university leadership had an opportunity Thursday to tout a spate of recent research wins to members of the board of trustees.

Whether its a national study about disaster preparedness that is helping to spur policy discussions or spearheading a new research center funded by the National Science Foundation, Ohio States commitment to research excellence is paying off.

We see our numbers increasing, we see more big wins, said Lou Von Thaer, chair of the boards Research, Innovation & Strategic Partnerships committee.

Grace Wang, executive vice president of research, innovation and knowledge, pointed to the research center announced last week as especially illustrative of Ohio States impact. Called the Hybrid Autonomous Manufacturing, Moving from Evolution to Revolution (HAMMER) Engineering Research Center, it will be one of the biggest research investments in recent Ohio State history if fully realized.

Its really, really exciting for Ohio State to have this milestone moment, said Wang, and to stay ahead of the curve in helping to bring back engineering and manufacturing in the United States.

The committee also heard an update on the Presidents Buckeye Accelerator, which university President Kristina M. Johnson created last year to help fund groups of entrepreneurial students. From this new program, Adithya Ramaswami, an aerospace engineering student, and his co-founder started a new company called Parawave, which aims to equip first responders with 360-degree views via drone technology.

Being part of a community of like-minded innovator students is invigorating and a safe space to grow and learn, he said. This first group of student teams finishes in spring 2023, and applications for a new cohort begin in the upcoming semester.

During the full board meeting, Johnson shared her excitement for the new academic year and important changes that come with it -- including the facilities that help improve the student experience. Johnson noted the opening of Jane E. Heminger Hall, which will expand the College of Nursing, and the Timashev Family Music Building in the Arts District.

How students learn is evolving with the start of fall semester, with the first major overhaul of the universitys general education, or gen-ed, curriculum in more than 30 years. The new program will reduce the number of required gen-ed credit courses, thus providing flexibility in scheduling while preparing Buckeyes for the world in which they will live and work after graduation, Johnson told trustees.

The following actions were also taken during the meeting:

Distinguished University Professorships namedThe board approved the following permanent honorifics of Distinguished University Professor to:

The Distinguished University Professor title is awarded to full professors who have exceptional records in teaching, research, scholarly or creative work and in service.

Textbook auto-adoption policy establishedThe board approved the establishment of a textbook auto-adoption policy that ensures that a decision about textbook and course materials for course use will be identified by the first day of registration for the autumn 2023 term.

The Worthington Board of Education voted unanimously June 27 to proceed with a combined $234million bond levy and 1.9-mill continuing permanent-improvements levy inthe Novembergeneral election.

If approved by voters, it would fund facility improvements to both district high schools and vehicle replacements,technology updates, grounds upkeep anddeferred maintenance.

The combined bond issue and PI levy would amount to an additional cost of$101.50 annually per $100,000 of appraised property value.

The board also unanimously approved an incremental operating levy starting with an additional 2.9 mills in 2023 or an additional $101.50 annually per $100,000 of appraised property value followed by three 2.0-mill increments in the next three years or an additional $70 per $100,000 of appraised property value each year from 2024-2026.

The incremental operating levy would fund district operating expenses, with collectionsphased in so the district could collect funding when it needs it.

The board's vote wasthe final decision needed to getthe bond issue, PI levy and incremental levyon the Nov. 8 ballot, according to board member Jennifer Best. It gives district treasurer TJ Cusick the green light to file the necessary paperwork with the Franklin County Board of Elections by the deadline of 4 p.m. Aug. 10.

Now the treasurer can organize all the paperworkand get everything filed and ready to go, she said.

Cusick said the bond issue and PI levy would be presented as one measureand the incremental levy would be another.

This bond issue would fund improvements at Thomas Worthington and Worthington Kilbourne high schools, following improvements to the middle schools conducted through phase 1 of the districts master facilities plan that were completed last summer.

If the bond issue is approved, both schools would receive new facilities and amenities, as well as upgrades to essentialunderlying building systems, such as HVAC and roofing.

Although taxpayers would take on more debt by approving abond issue this fall, a large percentage of that would be offset by $47.5 million in debt thats scheduled to come off the books between now and 2027, as well as a tax rate thats scheduled to decrease by approximately 3.6 mills or $126 per $100,000 of property value.

Currently, the district has $113.8 million in outstanding debt at a bond rate of 5.6 mills.

The PI levy would fund repairs and technology updates at all other buildings, as well as bus and vehicle replacements and upkeep of district grounds, including athletics fields.

PI levy funds may not be used for salaries or benefits for staff, general supplies or other items that do not have an estimated life of five years or more.

Superintendent Trent Bowers addressed the need for additional operating funds in his April "It's Worth It" column.

"First, Worthington Schools will see little impact to the amount of state funding it receives as the result of the new state funding formula, approved as part of the Ohio General Assemblys latest two-year budget bill," he said. "Second, our revenue is expected to flatten this year when the last installment of the levy that was approved in 2018 is realized.

SACRAMENTO - Senator Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco)s Senate Bill 1144, the Safe and Efficient Water Act, passed the Assembly Education Committee by a vote of 5-0. It will now head to the Assembly Appropriations Committee. SB 1144 requires public and charter schools and state agencies to complete a water quality and efficiency assessment on their facilities. This bill ensures our public schools and state agencies have safe, drinkable water. Far too many school children and other California residents currently lack access to clean water.

Under SB 1144, the water systems at public schools and state agencies must undergo testing to determine if lead is present. It will also require schools and agencies to test their water appliances and fixtures for water use efficiency. If any plumbing fixture is found to contain levels of contaminants beyond the legal limits, remediation methods such as filters, testing, or full replacement is expected at the earliest practice time, subject to funding. If any fixture or appliance is found to use more water than the current standards for water efficiency, the operating agency must replace the fixture with a more efficient equivalent at the earliest practical time, subject to funding.

School drinking water is frequently contaminated at unacceptable levels. 53% of reporting school districts in California found lead in at least one of their drinking water fountains on a campus. As with many other environmental pollutants, children are particularly at risk of experiencing the adverse health effects of water contamination. Exposure to contaminated water can result in an array of health issues that vary depending on the contaminant, as well as the intensity and duration of the exposure. Common health complications can include Legionnaires disease, liver and kidney problems, developmental and behavioral issues, and in some cases, cancer.

Finally, under SB 1144, agencies or schools with any covered buildings that use a cooling tower system over ten years old must create a Legionella management program. This program will include routine bacteriological culture sampling and Legionella culture sampling, as well as remediation and disinfection plans. Legionella is bacteria that can grow in water, HVAC or cooling tower systems and can cause a serious type of pneumonia, known as Legionnaires disease.

For environmental and health reasons, California must do better when it comes to water safety and efficiency. We cannot allow people across the state including children and low income communities to continue to be exposed to harmful contaminants. Californias water shortage is another serious problem that threatens the future of our state. Increasing water efficiency is an important strategy for saving Californias water supply and protecting our environment.

SB 1144 is sponsored by the California Pipe Trades Council.

Children in schools deserve clean water, said Senator Wiener. People who work at or visit public agencies deserve clean water. Clean water is a basic human right. California is one of the wealthiest and most innovative places in the world. The least we can do is ensure people have access to drinkable, clean water free of harmful contaminants.

As shutoffs resume after more than two years, low- and moderate-income customers will continue to have assistance with bills and may be eligible for new protections

UNIONDALE, N.Y., June 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Utility service shutoffs for nonpayment have begun to resume across New York State, and PSEG Long Island expects to resume shutoffs on July 12. Continuing more than two years of outreach efforts, PSEG Long Island stands ready to work with customers with outstanding balances to avoid interruptions to their service. Service shutoff for nonpayment is always the last resort, and customers who are behind on their bills can still call 1-800-490-0025 to get help and protect their energy service from disconnection.

"We want to reassure our customers that if they're struggling with their energy bills, we are here to help. We are ready and willing to partner with households who have fallen behind on their bills, as we have been throughout the pandemic," said Rick Walden, vice president of Customer Services, PSEG Long Island. "That commitment is not going away. We offer many programs to help people who are behind on their bills, including deferred payment agreements, low-income electric rates, and more."

How customers can avoid a shutoff

Customers with unpaid account balances should call PSEG Long Island at 1-800-490-0025 to determine if they are eligible for these or other financial assistance programs, and to develop individualized payment agreements.

"It's not too late. We know how hard it has been to manage household bills when your income has been affected," Walden said. "We want to work with our customers, make sure they know about assistance programs, and help them set up individualized payment agreements that avert a shutoff, letting them pay what they can now to prevent them from getting too far behind."

What to know about shutoffs:

Customers are beginning to take actionPSEG Long Island continues to partner with social service agencies and perform outreach to customers who have fallen behind on their bills, including letters informing them in advance about the resumption of shutoffs for nonpayment.

For the past seven months, PSEG Long Island field representatives have been making customer visits, connecting one-on-one with residential customers who have past-due account balances to discuss payment methods, accept a payment or work out a payment plan to pay down balances over time. In that time, representatives have visited with more than 47,000 residential customers and 10,000 of those customers have entered into deferred payment agreements. PSEG Long Island representatives work with customers to find the best solution for the household.

PSEG Long Island's Consumer Advocacy team also works year-round to provide customers with crucial information, utilizing email and social media, hosting educational webinars, and conducting proactive phone outreach. These outreaches also include energy efficiency tips, referrals for additional assistance for food insecurity and housing concerns, and help applying for the federally funded, statewide Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP).

When a new, state-administered program was established to provide eligible households up to $10,000 in unpaid bill forgiveness in the fall of 2021, PSEG Long Island mobilized to inform as many customers as possible, hosting a series of webinars that connected with more than 1,000 customers. The Consumer Advocacy team made thousands of phone calls to encourage customers to apply.

The combination of PSEG Long Island's efforts and New York State's own outreach resulted in more than 7,000 PSEG Long Island customers benefiting from this unique program receiving $20 million of the $150 million total utility aid that had been made available statewide.
