Good morning. This is Melanie Asmar with Chalkbeat Colorado.
Today’s top story comes from our colleagues at Chalkbeat Philadelphia, who reported on the findings of a recent analysis of shooting victim data in that city. It found that alternative and cyber charter school students were at higher risk of being shot, and a certain day of the week was most dangerous.

One more thing: AI is moving into schools fast. So is the backlash to screen time. Join Chalkbeat reporters Lily Altavena and Alex Zimmerman on Oct. 1 for a members-only conversation about this tension and the technology choices schools are making right now. This event is for Chalkbeat members. Donate any amount to become a member, support Chalkbeat’s independent education journalism, and reserve your spot. We hope to see you there!
Local education coverage is disappearing. Chalkbeat helps families and educators understand what’s changing. We can’t do it without you.
