Additional Background. A leave of absence of up to one (1) year may be granted to any unit member, upon application, for the purpose of participating in exchange teaching programs in other states, territories, or countries; foreign or military teaching programs; or cultural, travel, or work programs related to the unit member’s professional responsibilities; provided that the unit member states in writing the unit member’s intention to return to the school system.
Additional Background. Teachers shall be permitted to take a one (1) year leave of absence, provided, however, that on or before March 1st of the school year during their leave of absence, he or she must notify the Superintendent in writing that they intend to return to their former position. After such notice, the School Board will return the teacher to his or her former position for the following school year. A teacher will be given credit for a year of service if during the leave of absence he or she served in the military or engaged in an approved activity which benefits the teacher’s ability to teach. The Superintendent may require supporting documentation with respect to the teacher’s activities and shall make the determination whether the teacher’s service benefits the school district.
Additional Background. 1.1. The Foundation is a private charitable foundation organized under the provisions of Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), in order to further the charitable intent established by the board of directors of the Foundation.
Additional Background. In 2018, many cruise ships that will make port of call in Skagway will be outfitted with, and utilize exhaust gas cleaning systems ( ‘scrubbers’) to meet air emissions standards imposed by the International Maritime Organization. Scrubbers on most of these ships are ‘open loop’ wet scrubbers meaning that large volumes of sea water is pumped onboard and mixed with engine exhaust to ‘capture’ air pollutants created by engine combustion. This highly acidic ‘washwater’ is then filtered, blended with reaction water (typically engine cooling seawater) to neutralize, and discharged. Per IMO/EPA guidance, the washwater must be within 2 pH units of surrounding (ambient) seawater when maneuvering or in transit, or a pH of 6.0 at the point of discharge. Scubbers represent a relatively new and mostly untested technology. In 2017, there were numerous reports of ‘oily sheens’ present adjacent to ships operating scrubbers while at different ports of call in Alaska. The IMO has Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon (PAHs) standards for washwater discharge in the form of ‘Phenanthrene equivalents’ (phenanthrene is one of EPAs 16 identified priority pollutant PAHs) although the EPA has found that ‘widespread use of scrubbers emitting washwater with PAH concentrations close to this limit could pose a risk to the environment’ (EPA 2011). The level of PAHs discharged into Skagway harbor from cruise ships is currently unknown. The volume of washwater effluent created by a cruise ship while in Skagway is contingent upon a suite of factors including the power requirements of the ship (number of generators and auxiliary engines in operation to meet ship’s power needs), whether the engines in operation are outfitted with a scrubber, the acidity of the washwater produced (more seawater is needed to buffer the washwater to meet pH standards), and the buffering capacity of the seawater (higher freshwater inputs lower buffering capacity). The quality of the washwater effluent is also largely unknown as continuous sampling occurs for only a subset of water quality attributes. In 2018, the NPS is partnering with NOAA to passively sample hydrocarbons in seawater within or adjacent to park boundaries utilized by cruise ships. Scientists with NOAA will travel to Alaska for deployment and retrieval of sampling equipment, providing an opportunity for Skagway to ‘springboard’ onto this sampling effort.

Additional Background. 31. After the hearing Con Xxxxxx informed the NYISO that the figures used for SUFs in the cost Allocation Report, totaling $71 million, were understated. In addition, the NYISO approved a change in the interconnection point for NYPA’s Xxxxxxx Expansion Project, a Class Year 2001 Project subject to the cost allocation proceeding. The impact of this project on Reliant’s Astoria project a Class Year 2002 Project, was of concern during the negotiations.
Additional Background. A. AFC Through public-private partnerships, Alabama Forestry Commission (AFC) seeks to discuss, develop, sponsor, and promote programs and activities which will advance the practice of sustainable forestry, the conservation and protection of forestlands and associated resources and the establishment and protection of forests in the urban environment. The AFC is responsible for administering a wide range of programs which ensure the protection, health, and sustainability of forests in communities and on State and private lands. As discussed above, the AFC cooperates with Forest Service to deliver State and Private Forestry programs and with NRCS to deliver forestry assistance to private landowners. The AFC is the primary source for forestry assistance, and fund programs that provide technical and/or cost-share assistance to private landowners for forestry and agroforestry practices. The AFC is required to establish a State Forest Stewardship Coordinating Committee for consultation on key program and project actions that are necessary to deliver Cooperative Forestry programs. Additionally, the Commission is responsible for comprehensive forest resource planning within Alabama. These plans are developed with input from partners and the public.

Additional Background. The Airport’s Borders store opened on May 31, 2005. The lease agreement with Borders was negotiated as an independent direct lease with the Port by the then-contracted third party leasing consultant. As a result of public outreach, some local bookstores, as well as Borders, examined the retail opportunity at the Airport. The Port preferred to lease to a locally owned bookstore; however, at the time, the location did not have any proven track record of success, as the Central Terminal was a brand-new facility. Given the perceived risk, and high occupancy costs, Borders became the one operator interested in leasing the bookstore location. Borders already operated over a dozen airport bookstores and was familiar with the unique requirements and challenges of airport operations. In spite of problems that plagued Borders, the Seattle location was a resounding success. It quickly became the Borders airport network’s highest grossing location. In its top grossing year, 2008, Borders achieved sales of nearly $5 million. In 2009-2010, Xxxxxxx began suffering from inventory problems, yet still achieved sales of $3.9 million each year. The Port earned 12% of gross sales; $470,000 in 2010. With this consistent track record of strong sales potential, Airport staff believes that it should be possible to identify a local bookstore operator interested in this space under terms of a new lease and concession agreement.
Additional Background. The Federal Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act focuses on improving the quality of the workforce, reducing welfare dependency, increasing economic self-sufficiency, meeting skills requirements of employers, and enhancing the productivity and competitiveness of the nation. These federal moneys are allocated through states to localized workforce boards to fund employment assistance for youth, adults and dislocated workers through programs and workforce service providers. These programs and data assistance provided by the Workforce Centers are important to successful economic development efforts. The Consortium’s current jurisdiction, Local Workforce Area XIII utilizes four workforce service centers including a One Stop Center in Fredericksburg and facilities in Warsaw, Xxxxxxxxxxx and Onley, Virginia.
