The City School District of Albany Board of Education on Thursday appointed two veteran educators as assistant principals at district middle schools.
Allison Brodie will join the team at Stephen and Harriet Myers Middle School and April Stokes will join the team at Edmund J. O'Neal Middle School of Excellence.
Brodie joined the district in 2014 as a teacher at William S. Hackett Middle School. She also taught elementary school at Rensselaer Park Elementary School in Lansingburgh and Henry Johnson Charter School. In addition, she served as a building substitute teacher at Giffen Memorial Elementary School, taught first grade at Round Hill Elementary School and taught sixth grade at Washingtonville Middle School. She earned her bachelor’s degree at SUNY Oneonta, a master’s degree from the University at Albany and her administrative certification from Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts. She replaces Timitra Rose, who recently became an assistant principal at Edmund J. O'Neal Middle School of Excellence.
Stokes joined the school district in 2005 as a school counselor at the former Harriet Gibbons High School. She also worked as a school counselor at Stephen and Harriet Myers Middle School, Abrookin Career and Technical Center Extended Day Program and, most recently, Tony Clement Center for Education. She holds a bachelor’s degree from SUNY Oswego, a master’s degree from the University at Albany and her administrative certification from Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts. Her new position will fill a vacancy created in October when Malik Jones left O'Neal to become principal of Steven and Harriet Myers Middle School.
Brodie starts her new post Monday. Stokes moves to O’Neal on Nov. 26.
