Remote pre-K, magnet lotteries Monday

Lottery drawings will be held remotely on Monday to determine September placement in prekindergarten for 4-year-olds and magnet school programs in the City School District of Albany.

Since school buildings are closed due to COVID-19, the lotteries will be conducted remotely by Joseph White Associates, an independent national firm that specializes in school lotteries.

The school district will inform families in writing about the outcome of their child’s lottery application. Starting May 1, families should check their U.S. mail and email for this notification, which will include important information about registration.

Results of the lotteries will be conveyed only by mail or email. The district will not provide this information over the phone.
