Albert Lea board considers moving ALC to southwest site
Summary
Superintendent Dr. Heil presented a proposal to relocate the district—s Alternative Learning Center (ALC) to the southwest to secure a permanent administrator, a Dean of Students, an SRO, and expanded student supports; no formal decision was made.
Superintendent Dr. Heil told the Albert Lea Area Schools board that the district is considering relocating the Alternative Learning Center (ALC) to a site in the southwest portion of the district to improve administrative and student-support capacity. "Dr. Heil provided information regarding the potential relocation of the ALC to Southwest," he said, citing the availability of a permanent administrator and access to a Dean of Students and a School Resource Officer as key benefits.
Dr. Heil also noted that the move is intended to enhance counseling and social-work supports, transition a counselor position to full time, and expand students' access to curriculum and physical-education opportunities. The board did not take a vote on the relocation at the April 6 meeting; the discussion was presented as part of the superintendent—s update and will require further staff work and board consideration before any site decision or timeline is set.
The presentation took place during the regular board meeting at Brookside Education Center. No timeline or cost estimates for a move were provided in the transcript; follow-up materials and any formal proposal would be supplied to the board in future meetings.
