NO SCHOOL: Thanksgiving Recess
The City School District of Albany is offering four community-based budget presentations March 4-5 to provide all families and community members additional opportunities to learn more about the ongoing budget-development process.
Presentations will be offered at the following locations:
- Monday, March 4

The presentations will be the same at each meeting. Principals and district staff will discuss and get feedback on the district’s current budget proposal for 2019-20, which the Board of Education will review at its March 7 meeting. The board is scheduled to review updates to the draft budget at its March 21 meeting, and will adopt a proposal in early April for voters to consider May 21.
The mission of the City School District of Albany is to educate and prepare all students for college and career, citizenship and life, in partnership with our diverse community. The district serves approximately 9,500 students in 18 elementary, middle and high schools. In addition to neighborhood schools, the district includes several magnet schools and programs, as well as other innovative academic opportunities for students, including four themed academies at Albany High School.
