About the Board of Education

The nine-member South Colonie Board of Education meetings are held twice each month on Tuesdays, unless otherwise noted. Please see the Board meeting schedule below for specific dates. Exceptions may be made to avoid conflicts with religious holy days, state and national conferences, or extended recess periods.

Board of Education meetings begin at 7:00 pm in the Board Room at the District Office located at 102 Loralee Drive, Albany, New York 12205.  Board meetings may be held at alternate times or sites, and may occasionally be rescheduled due to inclement weather. In these cases, advance notice is given on this website. The Board of Education may also hold special meetings as needed.

The New York State School Boards Association has created this webpage entitled The School Board Member Experience to answer questions of new and potential school board members. Check it out!
