AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

Homeschooling debate heats up: A new op-ed argues that homeschooling needs stronger oversight, warning that patchwork state rules can miss educational gaps and keep abuse cases out of view—even when families mean well. AI liability fight: In Illinois, OpenAI is backing a bill that would shield frontier AI makers from civil liability unless harms hit a huge threshold, while critics say it dodges responsibility in teen-suicide lawsuits tied to ChatGPT. Connecticut public safety spotlight: The CT NAACP is launching an investigation into the death of a 17-year-old found in Wallingford woods weeks after a reported crash, citing a lack of public information. Local arts & community: Hartford breaks ground on a $24M Barbour Street library, while CT arts coverage spotlights an Australia-to-Connecticut week of performances and pop-culture events. Education leadership: Gov. Lamont names Ari Santiago interim chair of the Board of Regents for Higher Education.
