BETHALTO - During their regular meeting on Aug. 28, 2025, the Bethalto Community Unit School District #8 Board of Education voted to table two items regarding the use of AI and the implementation of Constitution Day. Both items were spearheaded by Board member Dallas Zimmerman, who explained that he wants to see “responsible AI use” by the school district, starting with Board operations. He proposed using AI to record, transcribe and summarize Board meetings. “It’s just about good governance,” Zimmerman said. “Board members are charged with ensuring the efficiency and the accountability and the transparency of our district operations, and adopting AI for Board use is a step forward in that.” Director of Teaching and Learning Dr. Alyssa Smith added that the district put out a survey to the district community to create a committee to build an AI policy. This committee includes Board members, union leaders, and other teachers and administrators.

EDWARDSVILLE – The City’s Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee is encouraging everyone who can to try going a week without driving, and is offering students a chance to do their part by traveling to school via the Bike Bus. The Week Without Driving challenge and Bike Bus are two initiatives championed by the Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee, which focuses on education and accessibility issues for pedestrians and cyclists in Edwardsville. The Week Without Driving is happening this year from September 29 to October 5. The idea is simple: Try to avoid taking a solo trip in a vehicle during the designated week. Instead, consider walking, biking, taking public transportation, carpooling or hailing a ride service. It’s not a failure if you must drive, but organizers suggest using the opportunity to consider the costs and impact on people whose options aren’t so varied. “Encourage others and your family and your neighbors to try it out,”

Data center debates across Missouri will likely be shaped by ongoing efforts to determine rules and rate designs about how to accommodate and pay for them.

August 29 has been a day of significant historical events that have shaped societies, cultures, and even the natural world. Perhaps the most profound event associated with August 29 is the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927. This catastrophic flood is often considered one of the most destructive river floods in the history of the United States. It began when heavy rains swelled the Mississippi River beyond its banks, overwhelming levees and inundating vast areas of the Mississippi Delta. By the time the waters receded, approximately 27,000 square miles of land were underwater, displacing nearly 700,000 people. The flood's devastation extended across Arkansas, Mississippi, Louisiana, and other states, decimating homes, farms, and entire communities. The Great Mississippi Flood of 1927 had far-reaching consequences beyond the immediate physical destruction. It exposed glaring racial and economic inequalities, as the majority of those displaced were African American sharecroppers and tenant
