VT Educational Employee Statewide Bargaining Reaches Impasse • • • Students in the News The Employer and Employee Commissioners on Public School Employee Health Benefits met again yesterday to try to reach agreement on the relative shares of health insurance premiums and out-of-pocket expenses that will be paid by Vermont taxpayers and education employees. Unfortunately, despite the school board commissioners presenting a new proposal that incorporates additional union requests and reflects our commitment to balancing high quality, generous benefits that are sustainable and affordable for taxpayers, the Commission was unable to reach agreement. The two parties will now go to mediation. The school employers’ team’s proposal will provide high quality benefits while containing health care costs. The union representatives on the commission have so far not provided data on how much their proposal will increase costs to taxpayers, despite previous requests for this crucial information. The school employers’ team is unwilling to agree to any proposal without fully understanding its cost and evaluating whether it is affordable for Vermont’s school districts and their supporting taxpayers. The meeting today marks the end of the scheduled negotiating process. We will now enter into mediation with school employee commission representatives on August 1st, and continue to work to reach an agreement that provides generous healthcare benefits to school employees while ensuring these benefits are financially sustainable and affordable for Vermont taxpayers. While we are disappointed the Commission was unable to reach an agreement via direct bargaining, we remain committed to working for a resolution through the mediation process.

Montpelier Student Named to Dean’s List at Lawrence University Lawrence University released its 2019 Dean’s List, an annual honor roll of students demonstrating exemplary academic performance. Harriet Porter of Montpelier, VT, was among the Lawrence students earning Dean’s List recognition for the 2018-19 academic year. The Dean’s List is compiled at the end of the academic year once all grades have been recorded. To make the Dean’s List, a student must have earned at least 36 units in Lawrence courses during the year and have earned a GPA of at least 3.5. Local Student Named to Dean’s List at University of Rochester Fiona Nichols-Fleming, a senior majoring in physics & astronomy at the University of Rochester, has been named to the Dean’s List for academic achievement for the spring 2019 semester. Nichols-Fleming, a resident of West Berlin, Vt., is the child of James Nichols- Fleming and Diane Nichols-Fleming, and a graduate of U-32 High School in Montpelier, Vt. The University of Rochester, founded in 1850, is a private research university located in Rochester, N.Y., (pop. 212,000) on the south shore of Lake Ontario. The University offers a unique undergraduate curriculum, with no required courses, that emphasizes a broad liberal education through majors, minors, and course “clusters”—a Rochester innovation—in the three main areas of knowledge: humanities, social sciences, and physical sciences/engineering. The University (on the Web at www.rochester. edu) is also home to the world-renowned Eastman School of Music as well as graduate professional schools of business, education, medicine, and nursing. Local Students Graduate from University of Utah The University of Utah congratulates 8,465 students who received their academic degrees on May 2, 2019. The following local students earned degrees: Brennan Degen of Moretown, VT, graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Engineering.

Local Students Named to Dean’s List at Worcester Polytechnic Institute The following local residents were among 1,598 students from Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) named to the university’s Dean’s List for academic excellence for the spring 2019 semester. • Benjamin Slattery of Richmond, Vt., is a member of the class of 2021 majoring in computer science, and humanities and arts. • Evan Llewellyn of Waterbury, Vt., is a member of the class of 2022 majoring in computer science. The criteria for the WPI Dean’s List differs from most other universities as WPI does not compute a grade point average (GPA). Instead, WPI defines the Dean’s List by the amount of work completed at the A-level in courses and projects. UMF Announces Dean’s List for Spring 2019 Semester The University of Maine at Farmington is proud to announce its Dean’s List for the spring 2019 semester. Located in the heart of Maine’s four-season outdoor recreational region, UMF is nationally recognized for its academic excellence, affordability and graduates’ positive career outcomes.

Students whose grade point average for the semester is equal to or greater than 3.8 are listed with high academic achievement. Students whose grade point average for the semester is less than 3.8 but equal to or greater than 3.5 are listed with academic achievement.

This is a high energy band which should rock the hall! For the second summer in a row they are touring Vermont libraries, donating their creativity to 16 libraries. This year’s tour title is “Across the Zoo-niverse,” paralleling with the Summer Reading Program theme used by libraries all over the country: “A Universe of Stories.” The trio includes frontman David Rosane with partners in crime musicians and community activists Don Sinclair & Jennifer Grossi, of Bradford, Vermont. Bandmate Jennifer Grossi said “In many communities in Vermont, libraries are the only places some people can access the Internet. And we’re lucky in Vermont - there are more libraries here per capita than in any other state!” They describe their music as Indie folk-rock/pop and rather ‘nerdy,’ as they are academics, teachers and community activists by day, hence the library tour.
