Good morning, Schenectady.

Schenectady’s three pools — Central Park Pool, Quackenbush Pool, and Front Street Pool — will open on June 28 with set hours for lap and open swim sessions to help residents plan their swim season.

Officials will confirm the detailed schedule soon.

The Broken Inn, a local pub near the station in Niskayuna, offers drinks and sandwiches that help build community spirit—serving as a gathering spot for locals who want good food and conversation—and remains a favorite on Tasty Tuesday.

Today, the Capital Region will honor Memorial Day with parades and ceremonies starting at 6:15 p.m. in Scotia-Glenville (and Waterford) and continuing through several communities until May 26.

Local events honor veterans with marches, ceremonies and celebrations across towns (exact times and routes vary by location).

Schenectady will soon hold the Big Bang fundraiser to support miSci by funding its programs and exhibits.

Board member Terra Joy said the event will include science demonstrations — a silent auction and other activities for everyone.

Voters in many Capital Region school districts approved budgets, tax increases and bus purchase plans while electing board members.

In Schenectady County, the city schools passed their budget with 681 yes votes and 113 no votes — board members Cathy Lewis and Vivan Parson were re-elected.

CDC preliminary figures showed that overdose deaths in New York dropped 32% from 2023 to 2024—falling from 6,688 to 4,567 cases—with opioids involved in 77% of these fatalities.

State programs to expand addiction treatment and provide free naloxone are credited with the decrease.
