SCOTUS upholds the Universal Service Fund (6–3), protecting $8B+ in E-Rate & Lifeline support.

NNoelle Ellerson Ng@Noellerson · Jun 27

FriDAY? FriYAY!! The US Supreme Court just ruled, in a 6-3 vote, the USF funding mechanism is constitutional and categorically rejected all of the plaintiff’s arguments. This is a big win and a big relief. Here is the opinion: supremecourt.gov/opinions/24pdf…

Servant leadership, first coined by Robert Greenleaf in 1970, flips the script—it’s not about power, it’s about people. Great leaders show up asking, “What do you need to succeed?” When you lead with purpose and serve with heart, those around you soar.

Lead with faith. Stay rooted in family. And never miss a chance to be genuinely happy for someone else—it’s one of the quietest, strongest forms of leadership.

Strong communities. Strong schools. Brighter futures. It all begins with bold investment—in our K-12 schools, our neighborhoods, and the people who call them home. When we invest in our communities, we create the conditions where every child can thrive and every dream can grow.

If you’re ever in Nashville, I can’t recommend visiting the Ryman enough. It’s the “Mother Church of Country Music” for a reason. The history there is just incredible—from its origins as a gospel tabernacle in 1892 to becoming the legendary home of the Grand Ole Opry. @theryman

The Bulldog community celebrates our nation's birth. We see it in sparklers, laughter, flags in the breeze—simple joys that show our American spirit. At BCSC, we honor freedom, remember sacrifice, and cherish the bonds that unite us. Happy Independence Day, Bulldogs! 🇺🇸
