• South Brunswick BOE Awards EV Charging Station Contract Amid Push For Details (patch.com) — South Brunswick school officials have approved a five-year contract for privately funded electric vehicle charging stations at select district properties, with the district receiving a share of revenue. Board members pressed for more detail on the number and locations of chargers, and the superintendent pledged to share a finalized plan before the business administrator signs, aiming to secure grant funding and avoid costs to taxpayers.
   

• South Brunswick Plans Districtwide AI Guidelines for Students and Teachers (tapinto.net) — South Brunswick school officials are working on districtwide guidelines for how students and teachers can use artificial intelligence in classrooms, aiming for clearer, more consistent expectations across grades and subjects.
