• 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. Board members stressed that AI rules should educate and enable, not simply restrict, and that teachers' input will shape the framework. Draft guidance could emerge sooner than 2027 as committee work resumes this fall.
