The Albany City School District, like many other districts in New York, is facing mass layoffs because of a 20 percent reduction in state aid brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic.
With a $23 million funding gap, Albany is considering laying off 222 employees and moving most students in grades 7 to 12 to a virtual-only model.
Sharing what she hopes will happen when students classes in less than two weeks, Albany City Schools Superintendent Kaweeda Adams spoke Friday with WAMC’s Lucas Willard.
