UCLA Secures $75 Million in NSF Grants for Quantum Technology Research

The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) has been awarded two grants totaling $75 million from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to advance quantum technology research.

Rochester Teachers Association Files Improper Practice Charge Against School District Over HIPAA Violation

Rochester Teachers Association Files Improper Practice Charge Against School District Over HIPAA Violation

The Rochester Teachers Association (RTA) has filed an Improper Practice charge with the New York State Public Employment Relations Board against the Rochester City School District (RCSD). This action challenges an email notification sent by Christopher Miller, Chief of RCSD’s Human Capital, to all RTA members. The RTA alleges that the district's unilateral requirement for physicians to "State the nature and extent of illness" on a Certificate of Personal Illness (CPI) form, particularly for Superintendent’s Conference Days, violates HIPAA privacy provisions. RTA President Adam Urbanski stated that this requirement demonstrates a distrust of teachers and a denial regarding the quality and relevancy of district-mandated professional development. The RTA also noted that their contract expired on June 30, and the district has been unresponsive to proposals concerning student services, class sizes, teacher pay, and school safety. News10NBC has requested comment from the Rochester City School District.
