The Albany County School District #1 (ACSD1) Communication Plan is reflected in the Strategic Plan adopted by the school board in November 2017. The Strategic Plan detailed three Pathways or major goal areas:

- Strong Community Relationships

- Innovative Teaching and Learning

- Optimal Operations

The Communication Plan comes directly from Pathway One—Strong Community Relationships. The Communication Plan details the goals and strategies for communicating with ACSD1 stakeholders as well as articulating priorities and communication channels. In addition, the Communication Plan details district branding specifications, social media guidelines, effective email communication protocols, and the procedures for the parent ambassador program.
