Chalkbeat Staff, Chalkbeat May 24, 9:33pm EDT Many Americans’ first thought after learning of Tuesday’s school shooting that left 19 students and at least one teacher dead was likely “not again.” For parents, teachers, and school administrators, other thoughts probably followed: How will I explain this to the young people in my life?

The shooting also comes just over a week after a shooter killed 10 people, all of them Black, at a Buffalo grocery store, among the deadliest racist attacks in recent American history. Here, we have compiled a list — sadly long — of stories Chalkbeat has produced over the years in the aftermath of school shootings.... Read more →

Healthy and Safe Swimming Week Here are some tips to keep your young ones safe and healthy in splash pools. A waterborne illness outbreak occurs when two or more persons experience a similar illness and have exposure to the same water source and there is evidence that the water is the likely source of the illness. Chlorine doesn’t kill germs instantly. In fact, it may take up to a couple of days for chlorine to fully eliminate germs in splash pads and pools. Swim diapers can delay diarrhea-causing germs from leaking into the water for a few minutes; however, swim diapers do not keep these germs from contaminating the water.

Cryptocurrency is a type of digital currency that has special technology that makes it almost impossible to counterfeit. Many types are based on blockchain technology, and a network of computers enforces it. It is attractive to many because no central authority issues it.

Ensure You Have Enough Funds Set Aside While cryptocurrency can be an attractive investment, it can also be volatile, so you will want to make sure you are not putting all your money into this investment.

For the second year, USGS scientists have installed and are testing the effectiveness of an innovative system to monitor bacteria concentrations in near real-time on the Delaware River. The system was re-deployed earlier this month at Pyne Point Park in Camden County, New Jersey. USGS data could help water resource managers and local government agencies as they make decisions focused on reviving the river and protecting public health, including determining the safety of recreational activities. Bacteria levels in this area can change rapidly, and this system—which is one of the first in the nation—has the potential to collect water samples on demand and provide results the same day. It can also be set up to take samples during regular intervals such as daily. Sources of bacteria can include wastewater, animal waste and other pollution from nearby communities. More traditional bacteria monitoring practices typically take three days and involve scientists travelling... Read more →

PHILADELPHIA—The Philadelphia Department of Public Health is issuing the following statement with regards to the School District of Philadelphia’s announcement that students and staff are required to wear masks while in school buildings and vehicles. The Philadelphia Department of Public Health strongly supports the decision by the School District of Philadelphia to require all students and staff to mask at this time. Given the rising case counts in Philadelphia and the surrounding area and the high transmissibility of the current variants of COVID-19 circulating in the Philadelphia area, masking will likely keep many children safely in class who otherwise would be out of school because of COVID-19 infection. It reflects the commitment of our city school leaders to keeping schools open and keeping children in school and learning and we are grateful for that commitment. We will continue to monitor COVID-19 trends and work closely with the School District to... Read more →

The 2nd Congressional District of New Jersey's primary is scheduled for June 7, 2022. Cumberland County Resident Sean Pignatelli is running against incumbent Jeff Van Drew. Pignatelli is available for interviews. CNBNews graphic file Two years ago, the thought of Jeff Van Drew even being challenged in a primary would have likely drawn laughter. Today, it's drawing silence as Pignatelli's campaign continues picking up steam with endorsements, most notably from PRIMO, and the Veterans of NJ. Air Force Veteran, Scott Hitchner Jr, who recently dropped out of the congressional race to pursue Commissioner of Salem County, shared posts on Facebook with Pignatelli. Pignatelli says Van Drew's voting record (which can be found here: https://clerk.house.gov/members/V000133) reveals that during the 116th Congress, Van Drew voted a total of 122 times in agreeance with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (the U.S. representative for New York's 14th congressional district and a member of Democratic Socialists of America)....

Catholic League president Bill Donohue comments on the rift between Rep. Nancy Pelosi and her bishop: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who has been told by her bishop, San Francisco Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone, not to present herself for Holy Communion, has been begging for a confrontation with him for many years. Now she has succeeded. Less than two years after Cordileone was installed as the new archbishop in 2012, Pelosi, who was House Minority Leader at the time, "took the lead," according to the San Francisco Chronicle, "in a high-profile lobbying effort to pressure San Francisco Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone not to attend the controversial March for Marriage event...." The March for Marriage was held to promote the idea of marriage, properly understood: in other words, as the exclusive union between a man and a woman. This bothered Pelosi immensely, which is why she went public with her dissenting position. She has... Read more →
