What we are funding this school year:

For the 2017-2018 school year, SchoolCARE pledged $274,500 to the Albany Unified School District. This money is currently supporting all Albany students by funding:
  • At the Albany Children's Center: Funding for the Gardening Coordinator and giving our kids a chance to play in the dirt and learn how plants grow;
  • Cornell, Marin, and Ocean View Elementary Schools: Enrichment funding for Art, Dance and Chess instruction, new iPads, the noon-time YMCA staff that structure physical activities and games, and the library tech position in every school library;
  • Albany Middle School: Counseling funds that support 3 full-time counselors (a counselor dedicated to each school grade) and the library tech position that ensures the library is open for students at lunch and for special programming;
  • Albany High School:  Funding for three elective sections to enhance student choice and flexibility, a portion of the Career and College Coordinator, and longer hours at the library through the library technician position.
