“Hey There! Hope all is well!
Congratulations to the participants of my Modern Wilderness Winter Survival Club at Albany Community School. Over the past two months we’ve been meeting twice a week to discuss and practice Modern Survival skills. These students have blown me away.
To the students:
Remember, the importance of Proper Prior Planning. You’ve learned so much and it’s shown, take your time and do it right.
Take care, Stay safe
You’re barefooted friend, Devin”
We hope to see you there!

The Committee seeks input on the concept of a regional Elementary and Middle School to be constructed adjacent to the Lake Region High School.
The Committee will present an overview of this plan and alternatives, offer an opportunity for questions, and listen to feedback from attendees.
OCSU faces significant challenges that require the attention and cooperation of the community to address: the rising costs of education and the subsequent increases in taxation; the need to provide an excellent education for our students in safe, welcoming, and productive settings; the need to alleviate staffing shortages by providing a safe, sustainable, and enriching work environment; and to house our educational enterprise in school buildings that are efficient, functional, and cost-effective.
To meet these challenges, OCSU assessed the current state of our school buildings and facilities, considered the implications of forming a central middle school, and analyzed multiple scenarios involving the renovations of our buildings in combination with new construction. The architecture firm of Truex-Cullins was hired to assist in our analyses.
Truex-Cullins' work has shown that the least expensive option in the long term is to build a new regional elementary and middle school adjacent to Lake Region Union High School.
Whether to move in this direction will be the choice of the eligible voters of the seven towns that make up the Supervisory Union. This Forum will help educate these voters that ultimately shape the quality of education in our community.
For more information please link to the Long-Term Planning section of the OCSU website: (https://www.ocsu.org) including the Truex-Cullins reports and the work of the Committee.
