The Federal Communications Council has announced that 707 participants have been selected to receive funding through its three-year $200m Schools and Libraries Cybersecurity Pilot Program. Information from the pilot will be used to decide whether and by how much the FCC should expand its E-rate program to include funding for cybersecurity measures. E-rate uses Universal Service Fund dollars to help schools and libraries pay for telecommunications and Internet services. The initiative will examine the effect of cybersecurity funding for schools and libraries across four categories: advanced firewalls; endpoint protection; identity protection and authentication; and monitoring, detection and response. Those chosen must now provide more detailed cybersecurity information to the FCC, seek competitive bids for cybersecurity equipment and services, and report specific data to the FCC.

Julia Lo Cascio, a student at NYU Grossman Long Island School of Medicine, is determined to become a pediatrician despite a national trend where many medical students are opting for higher-paying specialties. In 2024, 252 pediatric residency slots went unfilled, highlighting a growing shortage of primary care doctors, projected to be between 20,200 to 40,400 by 2036. Andrew Bazemore, a senior vice president at the American Board of Family Medicine, noted: “Subspecialties tend to generate a lot of wealth.” While some medical schools are waiving tuition to attract students to primary care, the systemic issues of low pay and high administrative burdens remain. Schools like the University of Washington have successfully increased primary care graduates by focusing on recruitment and community placements. Lo Cascio's passion for pediatrics is fueled by personal experiences, saying: “What a beautiful opportunity it would be to be that for someone else.”

Stacey Millman, a mother from Sullivan County, faced a lack of mental health services for her daughter in 2017, prompting her to establish EverGreen Meadow Services in 2021. The nonprofit provides mental health support to at-risk youth and is now developing EverGreen Meadow Academy, a residential treatment center for middle school girls, set to open in fall 2026. New York Governor Kathy Hochul announced a nearly $2m grant to support this initiative, emphasizing the need for specialized care. Millman stated: "Our mission is to provide hope and healing to young girls of all identities, ethnicities, cultures and incomes who have experienced trauma." The academy aims to create a nurturing environment where girls can learn and heal together, addressing the alarming rise in self-harm among adolescent girls.

In the wake of a devastating fire that destroyed Palisades Charter Elementary, first-grade teacher Jean De Longe is determined to recreate a nurturing environment for her students at Brentwood Elementary Science Magnet. "I'm trying to plan for the end of today," said Principal Juliet Herman, as she coordinated efforts to accommodate displaced students. With support from the L.A. Unified School District, teachers received $500 Amazon gift cards and donations from the community to help restock supplies. De Longe's classroom features a new rug reminiscent of the one lost in the fire, and she has set up desks and nameplates for her students. Despite the challenges, the children are adapting, sharing stories of comfort items and engaging in creative activities. The resilience of the teachers and students shines through as they embark on this new chapter together.
