Stephen and Harriet Myers Middle School is adding 11 faculty and staff positions during the current marking period as the City School District of Albany begins to strategically rebuild its staffing and programs.
The new positions at Myers during the third quarter will include:
- 2 hall monitors
- 4 teaching assistants
- 1 social worker
- 1 special education teacher
- 1 ENL teacher
- 1 reading interventionist
- 1 assistant principal
These positions are among 74.2 that the district is reinstating during the third marking period to support the continued expansion of in-person opportunities for general education students in grades 7-12.
In September, 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 district also is planning to rehire additional faculty and staff for the fourth quarter, which begins April 26, to support the planned hybrid instructional model at the secondary level.

Brianna Olsen will return to Myers as the school’s second assistant principal later this marking period. Olsen returns to the role in which she served at Myers during the 2019-20 school year and at the beginning of the current school year, prior to the district’s staffing reductions due to COVID-19.
