Last update: 3 hours agoArizona Education & Tech Funding: Kyrene School District is laying out a 2026-27 capital plan of $23M+ in bond projects plus $9M in tech, but says state capital support covers less than $7M annually—leaving a major gap as Arizona’s school-construction funding system faces an uncertain legal reset. Autonomous Mobility: Waymo is temporarily pausing freeway use in Phoenix while it improves how its driverless cars handle construction zones, a reminder that “driverless” still means operational tuning.

Workplace Safety Spotlight: A new map ranks state workplace fatality risk, with energy/mining-heavy states topping the danger list—useful context for Arizona employers planning safety investments. STEM in the Spotlight: Phoenix hosted the 2026 Regeneron ISEF, where Kalamazoo Area students earned major awards, underscoring Arizona’s role as a STEM hub. AI Backlash on Campus: Across commencements, students keep booing AI talk—most recently tied to University of Arizona coverage of Eric Schmidt—fueling a growing debate over how young workers see AI’s job impact.
