The easiest way to be in the know.

It’s Friday, Jan. 16, 2026: The headlines around the use of AI in schools are scary to say the least, but adoption seems all but a foregone conclusion. “I don’t even have the ability to shut it down if we wanted to,” West Chester Area School District Director of Technology John McGowan tells me. This week, we dig into the district’s approach and look at two A.I. platforms they are currently piloting.

Also, we look at the impact of an unexpected store closure, West Chester University’s football team takes another coaching hit, and production crews are back in town. Plus, West Goshen’s Township engineer resigns, a dramatic water rescue, and a state rule change that could impact local high school sports.

Two weeks in, and this year is starting to roll.


Ok, who’s ready? Let’s catch up.
