History
[edit]The school district was founded in February 1908 with students initially attending school in a converted barn on Brighton street. In December 1908, the district completed construction of its first building, Albany School, on Solano Avenue between Cornell and Talbot. Albany built its first high school in the 1930s. In 1944, the Federal Housing Authority built Codonices Elementary School for children of war workers living in Codonices Village. The current middle school opened in 1999 on the site of a former lumberyard. The current high school building opened in 2001.[2]

In 2001, the district's financial reserve fell below state requirements and the county board of education appointed a fiscal advisor to monitor the district. District income is primarily based on average daily attendance, and in 2002, the district accepted out of district residents in order to increase the income to the district. By the end of 2003, the district received a positive budget certification. In 2006, the district put limitations on out of district transfers.[19]
