Recognition of and Student Presentation of Learning and Achievement from The Academy @ Shawnee High School Students
Jade Burton, Ben Bommarrito, Alejandro Cid, Miranda Fitz, Cody Harral, Ashleigh Keister, and Amber Walters’ science experiment proposal called The Effects of Microgravity on the Viability of Lactobacillus Acidophilus was selected to fly in a mini-laboratory aboard STS-134, the final flight of the Space Shuttle Endeavour. The students submitted their proposal as part of the Student Spaceflights Experiment Program to study Lactobacillus Acidophilus, a probiotic, for its effectiveness as it is exposed to microgravity conditions.
Through this study, the students believe that understanding the viability of probiotics in microgravity can promote longer space missions without risking the health of astronauts and can be used to promote the health of people in space.
The students will be working to prepare their experiment for the space shuttle mission and will receive funding support from the Kentucky Space Grant Consortium, the Jefferson County Public School (JCPS) District’s Information Technology Department, and the JCPS Telecommunications Unit.

Approval of Offer of Environmental Settlement

This Site is now subject to an environmental cleanup as determined by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality (LDEQ).
Landfill users are subject to covering the cost of the cleanup. However, because the paint we disposed of was between 0.2 tons to 1.0 tons of waste and because of our status as a "de minimis" user; for the sum of $4,000, the LDEQ will provide to us a general release from potential liability to the members of the MSP-PRP Group for indemnity and contribution for the investigation and remediation of the Site. Although this release is not absolute, we believe this action best serves our interests.
