Teacher Convicted After Footage Shows Abuse | Albany News
A former special education teacher in Schenectady, New York, has been convicted after video footage showed her violently assaulting a six-year-old student—dragging him by the ankle, pushing him to the ground, and kicking him repeatedly. The 69-year-old educator was found guilty in a one-day bench trial on charges of endangering a child and harassment, marking the first time in over three decades that a local prosecutor has pursued such a case against a teacher. The school district claims it followed proper procedures, but the judge expressed shock that no action was taken sooner after reviewing the damning video. Sentencing is set for November tenth, with possible jail time up to a year—a chilling reminder of the devastating consequences when educators betray the trust placed in them.

Belmont Park Reopens After $555M Renovation | Albany News
Belmont Park is officially back — and it’s bigger, bolder, and ready for a new era. Governor Hochul cut the ribbon on Friday, Sept. 18, welcoming fans back after a three-year hiatus and a $555 million renovation. The track, once shuttered since 2023, now boasts a major upgrade — and with it, the return of the Belmont Stakes to its historic home in 2027. For now, Saratoga is holding down the Triple Crown race, but the spotlight is shifting back to Belmont as horse racing embraces this bold reinvention.
