MNPS pushes to expand concealed weapons detection system to all high schools

MNPS pushes to expand concealed weapons detection system to all high schools

Yahoo07-02-2025
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — In order to enhance its multilayered safety approach, Metro Nashville Public Schools (MNPS) is proposing an expansion of concealed weapons detection systems to all of its high schools.
On Tuesday, Feb. 11, officials said the Board of Education will vote on the proposal, which would amend the district's current contract with security vendor System Integrations to lease and install Evolv systems incorporating Motorola technology to integrate into MNPS' digital security platform Avigilon.
This news comes after Antioch High School successfully implemented the Evolv system following the deadly shooting on Jan. 22. According to MNPS, the system has provided an effective layer of security, helping to detect weapons while still allowing a welcoming and efficient entry process for students.
Antioch High School to have third permanent school resource officer, per MNPD
'There is no single solution to ending gun violence, a national epidemic that affects all parts of society, with access to weapons often going unchecked. However, we remain committed to doing what we can to protect our students and staff in our schools,' said Dr. Adrienne Battle, MNPS superintendent. 'Expanding concealed weapons detection systems to all high schools is an important step forward. This will take time to implement thoughtfully, and we will work closely with staff, students, and families to ensure a smooth transition.'
If the board approves the proposal, officials said concealed weapons detection systems will be deployed gradually, allowing time for the following:
School-specific entry flow designs to ensure efficient student movement
Training for staff to effectively manage the systems
Student education on how to move through the detection systems with minimal disruption
Antioch High School parents petition for metal detectors instead of new AI security system
Based on a preliminary review of school designs and needs, MNPS said the estimated cost of the concealed weapons detection systems across all district high schools is about $1.25 million per year. However, there will be a more intensive design process, in coordination with the schools, in order to determine the actual costs and configurations.
If approved, the district said it will work with stakeholders to determine an appropriate source of funding for the weapons detection systems.
As MNPS gathers data and feedback on the system's effectiveness, officials said they will monitor its impact, which will be considered alongside other future investments across the district, subject to additional funding and input from families and staff.

'I regret that we live in a time when schools must invest in weapons detection systems to keep students safe. The reality is that meaningful gun safety measures by state and national leaders have remained out of reach, and we cannot wait for change that may never come,' said Nashville Mayor Freddie O'Connell. 'While I firmly believe in the need for stronger policies to prevent gun violence, our immediate responsibility is to protect students and staff. This investment is a necessary step to address the threats we face today while continuing to push for broader solutions that prioritize safety in every community.'
Board Chair Freda Player emphasized that this expansion is part of a comprehensive school safety approach: 'As a school board, we are committed to providing the tools and resources needed to protect our students against another tragic situation like we experienced at Antioch High. The proposed expansion of concealed weapons detection is one part of a broader effort that includes trained security personnel, controlled building access, and emergency preparedness. We will continue to evaluate additional measures to enhance safety across all schools.'
MNPS said it is committed to creating a safe and welcoming learning environment for all students. Therefore, pending board approval, the district will move forward with phased implementation of the weapons detection systems, ensuring they're effectively integrated into each high school.

Yahoo Mail users must act before Aug 27

If you've had the same Yahoo email since the early 2000s, you're not alone. Many of us have been dragging that inbox along for 20+ years, stuffed with decades of old messages, forgotten subscriptions and heavy attachments that could probably sink a server. Recently, Stacy from Nashville, Tennessee, wrote in asking if a message from Yahoo about storage limits and pricing was real or just another scam. The email claimed she'd maxed out her free storage and risked losing email access unless she upgraded or cleared space. Sound familiar? If you've seen the same warning, you're in good company, and yes, it's legit. But that doesn't mean you should click and pay without thinking. Here's what's actually going on and if it might be time to consider a new provider.

Yahoo is making changes that kick in on Aug. 27, 2025. If your account is still over the limit by that date, you won't be able to send or receive emails. Read On The Fox News App The email Stacy received originally had incorrect pricing meant for Canadian users. Yahoo followed up with corrected U.S. pricing: 20 GB for Free with every account: Perfect for everyday use. 100 GB for $1.99/month: Suits more active users who receive newsletters, photos and attachments. 1 TB for $9.99/month: Best for longtime Yahoo users with extensive archives and large files. Yahoo Mail Plus: 200 GB of storage, plus premium features like an ad-free inbox, enhanced privacy controls, and priority customer care. You can combine Yahoo Mail Plus with a Yahoo Mail Storage plan, giving you up to 1.2 TB of total storage. This is part of Yahoo's broader push to monetize its email platform while encouraging users to either clean up their inboxes or pay for expanded storage. If you want to keep using Yahoo for free, here are the steps to reduce your storage: Access your storage dashboard in Yahoo Mail settings. Sort and delete large emails, especially those with big attachments. It's easy to keep your email inbox tidy. Here's how to delete a single email, or how to delete multiple emails at the same time, in New Yahoo Mail. Delete 1 or more emails Select a single email or multiple emails you'd like to delete using the checkbox next to each email message. Alternatively, select one email using the checkbox next to it, then click the Expand icon in the upper left to choose the emails you'd like to delete. This menu gives you the option to select all emails, read emails, unread emails, starred emails or unstarred emails. Click the Delete icon at the top of the page. By default, selecting all emails will only select 100 emails at a time. A pop-up notice will be displayed near the top of the screen that gives you the option to select all messages in your inbox. Delete all messages in a folder This option isn't available for your Inbox or system folders. Click the Folders icon. Mouse over a folder title. Click the More options icon. Select Delete all emails. (Note: This doesn't work for system folders like Inbox or Spam.) Find and delete Yahoo Mail emails with large attachments Older version of Yahoo Mail: (These steps apply to the older Yahoo Mail interface and may differ slightly depending on your browser or account settings.) Use Yahoo Mail on a desktop browser. In the search bar at the top, click the Advanced arrow. Check "Has attachment" to filter messages by attachments. Review the displayed emails, select the ones you want to remove using the checkboxes. Then click Delete. Newer version of Yahoo Mail: (These steps apply to the newer Yahoo Mail interface and features may vary by account. Yahoo may update these steps at any time.) Open Yahoo Mail (desktop browser works best). In the search bar, type the following: has:attachment larger:10MB (You can change 10MB to a different size (e.g., 5MB, 20MB) to adjust the filter.) Press Enter. Yahoo will show all emails with attachments larger than the size you specified. Review the results and delete emails with attachments you no longer need. Pro tips: In the newer version of Yahoo mail you can't sort the results by file size, unfortunately. There's also no built-in attachment manager like in Gmail or Outlook, so you'll need to scroll through and delete manually. What Is Artificial Intelligence (Ai)? They still count against your storage, even if you don't see them in your main inbox. On desktop (web browser): To empty your Trash folder: Log in to Yahoo Mail. In the left sidebar, click Trash. At the top of the Trash folder, click "Empty Trash." Confirm when prompted. This will permanently delete all emails in the Trash. To empty your Spam folder: Click Spam in the left sidebar. At the top of the Spam folder, click "Delete all spam messages." Confirm the action when asked. On the Yahoo Mail App (Mobile): To empty Trash: Open the Yahoo Mail app. Tap the menu icon (three horizontal lines ☰) in the top left. Tap Trash. Tap the three dots (•••) in the top right. Select "Empty folder." Confirm deletion. To empty Spam: Repeat the steps above, but select Spam instead of Trash. Important: Deleting messages from Trash and Spam is required to actually free up storage. Emails in those folders still count toward your Yahoo Mail quota until they're permanently removed. Check your real-time usage under settings so you're not caught off guard. Using desktop (Web) Yahoo Mail Sign in to Yahoo Mail using a desktop browser. Click the Settings (gear icon) in the upper-right corner. Choose More Settings from the dropdown. On the bottom left of the More Settings page, you'll see your current storage usage. Using the Yahoo mobile app or mobile site Open the Yahoo Mail app (or mobile site). Tap your Profile icon (or Yahoo logo) in the upper left. Your storage usage will appear below your email address. This ensures you're up to date and never surprised by a storage cap. If you're frustrated with storage limits, privacy concerns or the uptick in paid features, you're not stuck. Option 1: Forward important emails to another email address This is the quickest, no-tech-required method. Open the email you want to back up. Click Forward. Enter a backup email address (like Gmail or another provider). Click Send. Tip: Create a separate folder in your other email account for these backups. Option 2: Download emails as files Great if you want offline access or to store them on a drive. Open the email in Yahoo Mail. Click the More menu (••• or three dots). Select "View Raw Message." Use Ctrl+S (Windows) or Cmd+S (Mac) to save it as a .txt or .eml file. You can save these files to your desktop, external hard drive, or cloud storage like Google Drive or Dropbox. Consider switching to a more modern provider that offers better value and enhanced privacy features. Many newer email services focus on user privacy, provide clutter-free inboxes and often support the use of alias addresses for added security. Free options are available that seamlessly integrate with popular productivity tools. For recommendations on private and secure email providers that offer alias addresses, visit If you're not ready to cut ties completely, forward Yahoo emails to your new address so you don't miss a beat. Here's how to do it: Log in to Yahoo Mail on your desktop browser (auto-forwarding can't be set up via the mobile app). Click the Settings icon in the upper right corner. Click More Settings at the bottom of the dropdown. In the left sidebar, select Mailboxes. Under Mailbox list, click on your Yahoo email address. Scroll to the Forwarding section. Enter the email address you want your messages forwarded to. Choose whether to:Store and forward (keeps a copy in Yahoo Mail)Forward only (removes the message from Yahoo after forwarding) Store and forward (keeps a copy in Yahoo Mail) Forward only (removes the message from Yahoo after forwarding) Click Verify (Yahoo will send a confirmation email to the forwarding address). Open that verification email and click the link to complete setup. What you should know: You must verify the forwarding address before it starts working. Free Yahoo accounts allow forwarding, but features may vary slightly depending on your region or whether you use Yahoo Mail Plus. Some spam or promotional emails might not forward, check both inboxes regularly for a while. Bonus tip: If you use Yahoo Mail Plus, you can set up filters and more advanced forwarding rules for even more control. Yahoo is no longer just an old-school email provider; it's a business looking to turn free users into paying customers. If you rely on Yahoo Mail for critical communication, it's time to decide: Clean up and stay for free Pay a few bucks a month Or migrate to something better aligned with your needs Whatever you choose, the worst option is doing nothing and losing access on Aug. 27. Now, before you click anything in that email from Yahoo, take a pause. While this particular message from Yahoo above is real, scammers love to copy messages like this to trick people into clicking fake upgrade links or entering personal info. Always go directly to or open the Yahoo Mail app to manage your account. Never click links in unexpected emails, even if they look official.
