ALBANY, N.Y. (October
29, 2009)
-- Starting in
February, the City School District of Albany Board of Education will
hold its first monthly meeting on the first Thursday of the month
instead of the first Tuesday.
The board typically
meets twice a month. The first meeting is considered the monthly
business meeting and the board considers matters that require action at
that time. The board also meets the third Thursday of the month for a
“roundtable discussion” of specific items. Those meetings will remain on
the third Thursday unless otherwise noted.
The January business
meeting will be held Monday, Jan. 4 because the district is required to
hold the first meeting of the new calendar year on the first business
day to swear in newly elected board members and select board officers.
The roundtable will be held Jan. 21 at William S. Hackett Middle School.
The new schedule for business meetings will
take effect in February. That meeting will be held Thursday, Feb. 4.
All business meetings
are held at 7 p.m. at Albany High School, 700 Washington Ave. Roundtable
meetings start at 7 p.m. and are held at schools throughout the
district. For information on the location of roundtable meetings or a
complete list of upcoming meetings,
visit the Board of Education section of our Web site or call the
clerk of the board at 475-6010.
The mission of the City School District of
Albany is to educate and nurture all students to be
responsible citizens, critical thinkers and lifelong learners to
successfully compete in the global community by providing an
academically rigorous and safe environment in partnership with parents,
students and the community. The district
serves approximately 8,400 students in 16
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.
