Each City School District of Albany middle school provides a number of in-house alternative programs. These programs are targeted both at low achievers who are "quietly failing," as well as at disruptive students who might be guilty of insubordination, fighting, rowdiness, vandalism -- anything short of a more serious safe-schools violation.

In many cases, the students are placed in smaller classes. They also are given more productive alternatives to short-term suspension. Please contact your child's school for more information.
