📰 News we're reading

1. Record Labor Day Gas Prices Projected: What Dublin Motorists Should Know (patch.com) — Dublin drivers heading out for Labor Day road trips are facing some of the highest gas prices ever, with local stations charging around $5.23 for regular. Analysts say global conflicts and refinery disruptions are pushing up costs, and while prices may ease after the switch to winter-blend fuel later this month, much depends on how tensions in the Middle East evolve.
   

2. Dublin Weighs 1,000-Foot Buffer Between Gun Shops, Schools (patch.com) — Dublin residents may soon see stricter rules on where gun shops and shooting ranges can operate, as the City Council considers a 1,000-foot buffer from K-12 schools. The move follows an inquiry about opening a firearm retailer and range next to the new BASIS Independent School, and staff say the proposal would still leave most of Dublin's commercial and industrial land available for such businesses.
   

3. Dublin Partners in Education - Dublin, CA Patch (patch.com) — Families in Dublin can tap Dublin Partners in Education for accredited after-school, summer, and enrichment classes that directly support students in Dublin Unified schools. The longtime local nonprofit, based on Clark Avenue, partners officially with the district to offer academic skill-building, online learning, and specialty courses like driver's education, all designed to boost student success in a fun, supportive environment.
   

4. AI pushes Tri-Valley schools to rethink academic honesty (pleasantonweekly.com) — Students and parents in Dublin should know that Dublin Unified is developing districtwide rules for how artificial intelligence can and cannot be used in classwork. Alongside neighboring Tri-Valley districts, officials are trying to balance AI's benefits with concerns about cheating, privacy, and student well-being, moving beyond simple bans toward clearer expectations for responsible use.
