UPDATE:
As an update to our earlier message about the 1:00 p.m. dismissal at Albia Junior High and High School, we want to share the latest information from our safety checks.
Current readings show carbon monoxide levels at zero, and carbon dioxide levels are within the expected range. These tests indicate no immediate concerns in the building. We will continue to monitor throughout the weekend and will provide additional updates as needed.
We would like to extend a sincere thank you to emergency management staff, first responders, Alliant Energy, and our parents, staff, and students for your flexibility and support as we navigated this situation.
Student and staff safety remains our top priority. If you have questions, please contact the district office.
Sincerely,
Richard Montgomery
Superintendent

We’ve just received word from the Albia Community Schools:
Dear Families and Staff,
Out of an abundance of caution, all Albia Junior High and High School students were dismissed at 1:00 p.m. today after several individuals in the 200 wing of the building reported experiencing headaches.
We are actively investigating the situation to determine the cause. In the meantime, we have removed everyone from the 7-12 building until we can confirm it is safe to return.
Students who need to remain on campus for transportation will be supervised at Lincoln Center until buses arrive.
All other district buildings are operating on their regular schedules, and transportation will run as usual for those schools this afternoon.
We will share an update with families as soon as additional information becomes available. Please know that the health and safety of our students and staff remain our highest priority, and we appreciate your understanding as we take these precautionary steps.
Thank you for your attention to this important update.
Sincerely,
Richard Montgomery
Superintendent
