Today's riddle: What is full of holes but still holds water? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• 'Improving the campus experience': Updates coming to Boise State campus this academic year (ktvb.com) — If you're heading to Boise State this fall, expect detours: major steam tunnel work through the Quad, Greenbelt pathway widening near campus, and upcoming elevator overhauls in the Education Building will reshape how students, staff, and visitors move around. Campus officials say the disruptions should pay off with better heating, safer routes, and improved accessibility over the next year.
• Boise School District implements AI policies into classrooms (ktvb.com) — Boise students are heading back to class under Idaho's first statewide rules for using generative AI in schools, and the Boise School District is already weaving the technology into lessons from kindergarten through high school. District leaders emphasize "human-first" learning, using AI mainly for tutoring, proofreading, and research support while promising to adapt their classroom framework as the technology evolves.
• Amid intense U.S. fire season, Australia and New Zealand send largest ever contingent of firefighters to help (boisestatepublicradio.org) — Hundreds of Australian and New Zealand firefighters just mustered at Boise's National Interagency Fire Center before heading to massive wildfires across the West. The story follows their training on Boise's airport campus and explains how this record international deployment supports an unusually intense U.S. fire season threatening many communities.
