Sarah Buck, the daughter of Jim and Lucy Buck of Jacksonville, received a Faculty Excellence Service Award from Chicago State University.
To be considered for the award, faculty members had to demonstrate service at various levels at the university as well as off campus.
Buck serves in leadership positions on the Faculty Senate, Academic Affairs Committee, General Education Committee and Program Elimination Review Committee, as well as on various department committees. She is a professor in the Department of Health Education, Physical Education and Recreation at Chicago State University and serves as program director for both the initial licensure and master’s programs in physical education.
The quick testing strategy is meant to identify who has COVID early, so that more students can quarantine and prevent further spread, according to state officials.
Rather than a nasal swap, the covidSHIELD test, which was developed by the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, collects saliva and provides results typically within 12 to 24 hours. Officials said specimens will only be collected with parental consent at participating schools.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention signed off on expanded usage of Pfizer and BioNTech s Covid-19 vaccine for 12- to 15-year-old kids, clearing the way for pediatricians to start giving out the shots across the U.S. as early as Thursday.

Teaching kids to hate America? Republicans want ‘critical race theory’ out of schools Alia Wong, USA TODAY
Idaho s governor last week signed into law a bill whose purpose, at face value, is noncontroversial. The law prohibits public schools and colleges from teaching that any sex, race, ethnicity, religion, color, or national origin is inherently superior or inferior.
The catch? Baked into the legislation is an effort to stamp out conversations about race and equity. A dozen or so states including Iowa, Louisiana, Missouri, New Hampshire, Oklahoma, Rhode Island and West Virginia – have introduced bills that would prohibit schools from teaching divisive, racist or sexist concepts.
