Weapons detectors are being installed Thursday at Schenectady High School.

The screening systems are being put in place to ensure student and staff safety.

Staff members will be trained on this system for the remainder of this week.

The security system will be operational starting on Monday with full implementation beginning on Wednesday, Jan. 8.

NewsChannel 13’s Tessa Bentulan will be speaking with school officials about the new system and will bring you updates on air and online.
