📰 News we're reading

• Families lean on SafeKey program as new CCSD start times reshape daily routines (ktnv.com) — Las Vegas families are increasingly relying on the city's SafeKey program to cover the gap between work hours and the Clark County School District's new later start times. Parents at Wing and Lilly Fong Elementary say early drop-off and after-school care are now essential, and enrollment has more than tripled at that site, forcing SafeKey to add staff. Kids get a safe place to eat, do homework, and play while parents adjust to the new routine.
