Good morning, Albany.

On Monday, Cohoes High School previewed a new metal detector screening system that will be fully in place on March 30, where students lock their phones in a pouch and place metal items on a table (a process aimed at keeping the school safe).

Students and local advocates gathered outside the New York State Capitol yesterday to call for expanded bus routes and free rides for those who do not meet the district's 1.5-mile rule.

A school spokesperson said that adding more rides would require 120 extra buses (a challenge for current resources).

A student-run clinic in downtown Albany is offering affordable counseling on a sliding scale starting at $45 along Washington Avenue.

UAlbany psychology students deliver sessions under close supervision (ensuring confidentiality and quality care) to help reduce the stigma around mental health services.

Yesterday, Medical Monday featured Dr. David Perlmutter from Perlmutter Eye Center discussing cataract surgery + glaucoma treatment and retinal care.

Hosted by Ray Graf, the program invited local viewers to call with their questions.

University at Albany men's lacrosse player Max Neeson was named America East Defensive Player of the Week after recording two turnovers and two ground balls in the team's 10-6 win over UMBC on Monday morning + the Danes will play UMass Lowell on Saturday, Mar.
