Myers adds an additional 12 positions to support in-person learning

Stephen and Harriet Myers Middle School is adding 12 faculty and staff positions during the fourth quarter as the City School District of Albany begins to strategically rebuild its staffing and programs.

The positions at Myers during the fourth quarter will include:

•          1 behavior specialist
•          2 social workers (one shared with Hackett)
•          1 music teacher (shared with Hackett)
•          3 math interventionists
•          1 custodian
•          2 reading teachers
•          2 English and reading interventionists

These positions are among the 93.8 that the district is reinstating during the fourth marking period to support the continued expansion of in-person opportunities for general education students in grades 7-12.

In September, many of these positions at Myers were among the 215.6 the district reduced when faced with the possibility of a 20% reduction in state aid due to the COVID-19 economic crisis.

The fourth quarter begins April 26.
