History
Yancey Elementary was founded in 1960 in rural Scottsville and named for Benjamin Franklin Yancey, an African-American educator who came to Albemarle County in the 1890s and established a school for African Americans. The land upon which Yancey Elementary is situated was donated by the Men's League, an organization also founded by Yancey.[1]
In August 2012, the Albemarle County School Board approved long-delayed proposed repairs to Yancey, including work on the roof HVAC system, and septic field. The work is projected to cost an estimated $6 million and will include renovations over the next ten years.[2]
