• Suffolk school superintendents share thoughts on AI (newsday.com) — Kings Park families can hear directly from Superintendent Timothy Eagen on how the district plans to balance AI tools with limiting student screen time and protecting privacy this school year. He joins several Suffolk County superintendents in stressing that AI skills are essential for graduates, but should be used purposefully so technology enhances, rather than replaces, human teaching and relationships.
