• Page Proposes Returning Some County Roads To Cities (timesnewspapers.com) — Kirkwood could soon be asked to assume maintenance of several county-controlled roads, including stretches of Adams, Marshall and Ballas, as part of a cost-cutting proposal from St. Louis County Executive Sam Page. City officials say they currently have no intention of taking over these roads and insist any transfer would require formal council consideration, while neighboring municipalities also voice strong concerns about unexpected new expenses.
• AI takeover: KHS grapples with technology policies (thekirkwoodcall.com) — Students and staff at Kirkwood High School are wrestling with how to handle rapidly advancing AI tools like ChatGPT, which some teens use as a shortcut on homework. Teachers and administrators stress that AI isn't going away but warn it can undermine critical thinking, creativity and even social connection if students rely on it instead of doing their own work.
