• Hot weather drew early Summer crowds to Hammonasset Beach (fox61.com) — Madison’s Hammonasset Beach State Park was packed Monday as summer-like heat drew crowds from across Connecticut to the shoreline. Visitors described it as the unofficial start of summer, while state officials reminded beachgoers that lifeguards won’t be on duty until Memorial Day weekend and urged extra caution in and near the still-frigid water.
• More Schools Are Providing AI Training for Teachers. Is It Any Good? (edweek.org) — A Madison connection shows up in the national conversation on AI in schools, with Daniel Hand High School principal Anthony Salutari Jr. highlighting how his staff is being trained to use AI thoughtfully. The piece explains how teacher training on AI is expanding nationwide, why many educators remain hesitant, and how clearer guidance could help students use these tools responsibly.
• WARRANT: Former Chester Elementary School substitute teacher accused of striking minor says she ‘tapped' victim (wtnh.com) — A Madison resident who worked as a substitute teacher in Chester has been charged after an alleged physical incident involving a student during a live school broadcast. Authorities, witnesses, and the former teacher offer differing accounts of whether the contact was light tapping or open-handed slaps, and district officials stress that student safety and swift action guided their response. Court proceedings are scheduled for later this week.
