• MVLA weighs how to use AI in classrooms (losaltosonline.com) — If you have teens in Mountain View or Los Altos schools, district leaders are actively shaping how AI will be used in their classrooms, emphasizing judgment and privacy over shortcuts. MVLA is drafting an AI guidebook, weighing which tools students can access, and debating how teachers should set clear, consistent rules while protecting student data and academic integrity.
   

• Local politicians, promoters of small businesses, support bill targeting ADA lawsuit abuse (losaltosonline.com) — Mountain View small businesses are at the center of a push to curb abusive ADA lawsuits, with local Assemblymember Marc Berman and the Mountain View Chamber backing Assembly Bill 649.
