Math teacher charged with murder is reassigned to administrative duty

ALBANY - An Albany high school math teacher charged with murder in the death of his father 12 years ago has been reassigned to administrative duty while awaiting trial. <br> <br> Fifty-three-year-old William Scheer is charged with killing his father -- William Henry Scheer -- with a golf club at the Albany home they shared. <br> <br> He was released on $65,000 bond and ordered to remain under house arrest. A judge said Scheer would be allowed to go to work and keep legal or medical appointments. <br> <br> Scheer -- a math teacher at Monroe High School -- maintains his innocence. <br> <br> Dougherty County School System attorney Tommy Coleman says the school system agreed Thursday to reassign Scheer to the curriculum and instruction department --- an administrative post -- until the charges against him are resolved. <br> <br> Education officials say Scheer could be asked to evaluate student performance on test questions and help draft math exams as part of his assignment. <br> <br> Scheer&#39;s attorney -- Pete Donaldson -- says Scheer can do some of the work from a computer at his home and some of it at school administration offices in downtown Albany. <br> <br> Arrangements for his new assignment are not complete and a date for his return to work is not yet set.
