• Greenwich officials question plan for AI-powered private school (ctpost.com) — Plans for an AI-focused private Alpha School in central Greenwich are drawing pushback from local planners over traffic and parking, and the school is being urged to consider other sites. The network has previously eyed a King Street location in Port Chester to serve Greenwich families, so any decision could influence whether a campus ultimately lands just over the New York border.
