Albany Unified Schools Swap Spots Around the City
The Albany Unified School District, city of Albany and UC Berkeley orchestrated a collaborative plan to increase classroom space, add infant and toddler care, and improve childcare and after-school services.
Most of the moves took place over the summer.
1. The Albany Children's Center moved to a permanent home at the former MacGregor High School site, 720 Jackson St.
2. MacGregor moved to the Albany Adult School space at 601 San Gabriel Ave.
