1. Committee backs new policy governing AI use in Manchester schools (unionleader.com) — Manchester school officials are advancing a new policy that tightly governs how artificial intelligence can be used in city classrooms, emphasizing transparency, academic integrity, and data privacy. The proposal, which approves only three AI platforms and relies heavily on teacher judgment for enforcement, now heads to the full school board for a vote next month.
2. Boston MedFlight expansion celebrated at Manchester open house (inklink.news) — Manchester residents now have faster access to life-saving air medical transport thanks to Boston MedFlight’s new base at Manchester-Boston Regional Airport, celebrated Thursday with an open house.

4. New Hampshire House passes bill targeting scammers using crypto ATMs (wmur.com) — A Manchester police detective is backing a new state bill that would cap daily deposits at crypto ATMs and add refund and receipt rules to better protect seniors from scams.
