📰 News we're reading

• School District of Palm Beach County cuts 244 positions following enrollment decline (wptv.com) — The Palm Beach County school district has cut 244 positions after enrollment dropped by nearly 7,000 students, deepening budget strains that could approach $100 million. District leaders are freezing hiring, trying to reassign affected staff, and warning that renewing the 1‑mill property tax referendum—crucial for teacher pay and programs—will be key to stabilizing local schools and services.
   

• West Palm police spending big on AI for surveillance, investigations (miramarflnews.com) — West Palm Beach police are rolling out several powerful AI tools to search video, reports, and license-plate data, aiming to boost crime-solving despite officer shortages. The move, funded with about $10 million in city redevelopment money, is sparking privacy concerns and calls for clearer rules—issues Palm Beach residents may care about as similar technology spreads across the county and state.
