Proposition #2
Shall the Board of Education of the Albany
City School District be authorized (a) to sell the property
located in Lincoln Park, Albany, NY (the “Sunshine School”) for
a price not less than $125,000, less usual and customary closing
costs or, in the alternative, (b) to transfer the Sunshine
School to the Albany Community Development Agency for no
consideration ($0.00)?

Voters overwhelmingly approved
the sale of the
former Sunshine Building in Lincoln Park for not less than $125,000
on May 15, clearing the way for the district to sell the building to the

The Sunshine Building is the former home of the district's Central
Registration, Pupil Personnel Services and Special Education offices.
Those offices relocated last year to the district's new registration
cetner at 75 Watervliet Ave.
