Philadelphia, PA – Action Wellness today announced the retirement of a Philadelphia and national icon after three decades of extraordinary service to people living with HIV.

Miller Bill Requiring Transparency Policies for AI Surveillance in Schools Passes Assembly

Today the General Assembly passed legislation sponsored by Assemblyman Cody Miller that would establish clear standards for using artificial intelligence (AI) in school surveillance systems. The legislation comes as school districts in New Jersey and across the country increasingly turn to AI-enhanced security tools, raising important questions about privacy, transparency, and oversight.
“New Jersey should be setting the standard for how emerging technologies are used in our schools,” said Assemblyman Miller (D-Atlantic, Camden, Gloucester). “By requiring clear policies and communication with families, this bill would ensure that schools are transparent about how artificial intelligence is being used and that parents understand what information is being collected and how it is safeguarded.”
Bill A1323 would require boards of education of school districts, as well as boards of trustees for charter schools and renaissance school projects, to adopt policies governing the use of surveillance systems with AI capabilities—if such systems are used—including video cameras, x-ray machines, or body scanners.
The policies would outline what systems are in place, what information is collected, how the information is used and shared in compliance with State and federal law, and how families can access the information.
Schools would also be required to post signage in prominent, public places in buildings and on school grounds notifying the public when AI surveillance is in use, and to distribute the policy to parents and guardians.

Rothwein kept the streak going with the first goal of the second quarter before LVC got on the board at 8:28, and the Prof added another. Corson and Yasmin Harris closed out the scoring to give Rowan a 13-1 halftime lead.

Rowan Falls Short to #6 Montclair State, 89-75, in NJAC Men’s Basketball Semfinals

Khalil Baker scored 20 points but Rowan’s upset bid fell short as #6 Montclair State rallied from a 12-point deficit to defeat Rowan, 89-75, in the semifinals of the NJAC Men’s Basketball Championship. The season comes to an end for Rowan (10-17) while Montclair State moves on to face TCNJ in the title game on Saturday.

Baker shot a season-best 8-for-13 from the field to record a new career-high. Taz Cantey had 18 points, six assists and five steals in his final game as a Prof with fellow senior Brycen Williams scoring 12 points and picking up four steals. Khamai Orange scored 14 points and posted a career-high six steals as Rowan forced the Red Hawks into 23 turnovers.

With Rowan leading, 63-51, at 12:59 remaining, Montclair State went on a decisive 28-5 run that spanned nine minutes. The Red Hawks made 10-of-16 field goals, with five three-pointers and picked up seven steals to overtake the Profs. A three by Jacob Morales ended the run and the home team had a 79-68 lead with 3:21 remaining. Rowan could get no closer and saw MSU finish it out with six free throws in the final :44.

The game saw each team hold double-digit leads early on. Montclair State jumped out first and went up on Rowan, 27-17, at 11:35 of the first half. The Profs outscored the Red Hawks, 19-8, with contributions from a number of players to take a 36-35 lead at 4:24. The teams would go into halftime tied at 42-42.

Cantey got Rowan going in the second half as he scored four in an 8-0 run to give the Profs a 50-42 lead. Four straight from the senior, along with a basket from Williams, built Rowan’s lead up to its largest margin of the game, 63-51, but from there, Montclair State started its game-winning rally.

Rowan shot well in the game, hitting over 50 percent in both halves, but Montclair State made 16 three-pointers to just five for the Profs.

The fifth seed in the tournament, Rowan went 9-9 in league play and reached the semifinals for the first time since 2022-23 with a quarterfinal win over NJCU.
