Committee seeks parent, community participation

The City School District of Albany’s new Alternative Education Think Tank invites parents and community members to participate in biweekly meetings to evaluate the district’s programs and develop recommendations for the Board of Education.

The collaborative initiative between the district and community aligns with the district’s strategic plan, “A Vision for Tomorrow,” which the board approved in November 2008. The think tank is an important educational and team-building opportunity to marshal resources and address the needs of all students.

The next meeting is Monday, Dec. 14 from 5-6:30 p.m. at Parsons Child and Family Center, 60 Academy Road. Future meetings will be scheduled with input from the committee, and the committee’s work will be completed by August.
