With more and more New Yorkers getting their COVID-19 vaccines, Saratoga County school administrators wanted to take a moment to acknowledge the dedication of more than 50 school nurses who participated in closed PODs for educators over the last two months.
These PODs, which stands for Point of Dispensing, are temporary sites in the community where vaccines can be quickly administered to people in large numbers. Recently, several PODs ran through a partnership between Saratoga County Public Health Services, Saratoga County schools and WSWHE BOCES.
Just about every Friday from Jan. 29 until April 16, happy educators could be seen leaving PODs at the WSWHE BOCES Ballard Road Conference Center or Ballard Elementary School in Wilton, knowing that they had received their vaccine and were a step closer toward returning our schoolsâ classrooms to normal.

SARATOGA SPRINGS After Mechanicville made a few more plays down the stretch than Saratoga Central Catholic did Friday night to remain unbeaten on the season, veteran coach Rian Richardson pointed to his team’s experience.
“I’ve got senior leadership out there,” Richardson said after a 60-52 win on the Saints’ court. “Devin Garland and Luci D’Ambro are four-year seniors. They’ve been there before. I’ve also got my sixth man back, and he saw a ton of minutes.”
That would be Tyler Eiseman, who scored 20 points before fouling out with 4:46 left in the game. After Eiseman fouled out, Garland delivered the last nine of his 19 to lift Mechanicville to its seventh win with seven scheduled games to go.
