By now, the 2025-2026 school year is well underway. The glow of new beginnings has faded, and the process of learning has begun in earnest. No doubt there is plenty to do, but I recommend that educators take a moment and check in on their teaching toolkit.
As digital learning continues to evolve, K-12 districts are under pressure to deliver connectivity that’s as fast, secure, and flexible as the learning it supports.

A few years ago, Jenn Judkins was attending a data governance training session when the instructor posed a question: “You may say you have a good data privacy practice in place, but is it documented? If it’s not documented, does it really exist?” That question resonated with Judkins, technology director at Wayland Public Schools in Massachusetts. She had spent years thinking about how to protect student data, working with her team to follow best practices around access, data protection and vetting software vendors. But none of it was formally written down. The instructor, Melissa Tebbenkamp,…

When an AI system makes a “bad decision,” most organizations can’t really explain why. They aren’t entirely sure which data trained it, where the error was, which version it was running or which third-party components were involved. This is an ethical and regulatory blind spot that creates risk for tech leaders in institutions of all sizes, and it’s driving interest in a newer framework called the AI bill of materials. If you’ve ever seen a software bill of materials, or SBOM, then you already understand the concept. But many organizations have not yet thought about applying that framework…

What does it look like when a city becomes a learning campus? The Providence After School Alliance spent two decades answering that question, aligning schools, city agencies, and community organizations so young people could access high-quality learning far beyond the school day. This Steward Story traces PASA's evolution from a bold response to a local crisis into a nationally recognized model for ecosystem building, credit-bearing out-of-school learning, and the kind of coordination that outlasts leadership transitions. For education leaders navigating fragmented systems, PASA's journey is both a blueprint and a call to action.

arXiv:2607.05690v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Language agents run a loop - observe, reason, act - but the memory they reason over sits outside it: a store queried at most once per turn. We study the regime where memory moves inside the loop, read and written on every step. The obstacle has always been latency: networked stores answer in tens to hundreds of milliseconds, and in-loop retrieval can inflate end-to-end latency by up to 83x when retrieval is expensive. Prior work manages that cost rather than questioning it: serving-layer scheduling hides it, "memory-first" designs ration retrieval to once per turn. We argue latency is a property of where the store lives, not the in-loop pattern: an in-process store answers in ~100us, three orders of magnitude below the network regime, and at that speed the per-step tax collapses. By the extended-mind thesis's parity principle, a store fast enough to be constantly and directly available becomes extended working memory, not a tool
arXiv:2607.02947v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Public official-information request records contain process signals. They can support research, workflow review, and analyst-led assessment. Yet they also mix observed correspondence, platform states, inferred events, and legal outcomes. FOI-O is a reusable process-modelling method and verification infrastructure for Freedom of Information administration. It is a global model that began with the New Zealand Official Information Act and has since iterated through the Australian Commonwealth and New South Wales settings. The NZ package remains the mature reference implementation; the Australian work remains provisional pending empirical evaluation and jurisdiction-specific legal validation. FOI-O models request records, observed correspondence, controlled vocabularies, provenance, review queues, release metadata, and bounded analysis rules. Legally meaningful outcomes require certification by an authorised decision-maker. Its type
