Business Continuity Keeps Albany District Running No Matter What
EdTech, Tuesday, September 23rd, 2025
The City School District of Albany develops a plan to restore operations in the face of disruption.
In early 2025, an electrical transformer exploded in Albany, N.Y., knocking out fiber-optic cable to a local elementary school. The school was without internet connectivity for three days, a major inconvenience because students, teachers and staff all rely on access to online tools to conduct their daily work.
The City School District of Albany had considered ramping up its business continuity plans, and the transformer incident was the final straw, driving district leaders to reconsider their readiness for unexpected events.
