Stanford University researchers found that most students did not use an AI literacy tutor, even with human support, spending only 1-4 extra minutes weekly. The study highlights a gap between access to AI tools and actual student engagement, with implications for educational technology adoption in schools.

A North Carolina Senate education bill proposes $10 million in recurring state funding for Khan Academy's AI tutoring tool, Khanmigo, without a competitive bidding process. Khan Academy's founder admitted the tool has not met classroom expectations, with limited student engagement. The bill also includes provisions for teacher apprenticeships, financial oversight, and chronic absenteeism reporting.

OUTnewcomers, a Boston-based LGBTQ organization, paused its 'Belonging Matters' wellness program for migrants and returned a $7,500 city grant after officials stated the funds were never approved for the initiative. The program offered wellness perks like yoga and massages, but discrepancies in voucher amounts and security concerns led to its halt.

OUTnewcomers, an LGBTQ group in Boston, returned a $7,500 city grant after its 'Belonging Matters' wellness program for LGBTQ migrants—offering perks like yoga and massages—clashed with the city's grant expectations. The mayor’s office stated no funds were approved for the voucher program, leading to questions about grant oversight.

Boston is providing wellness vouchers to LGBTQ+ migrants through a partnership with OUTnewcomers, initially reported as $250-$500 but later clarified as $50 or less. The program faced backlash and threats, leading to its temporary pause after death threats and ICE reporting concerns emerged.
