Summary
Superintendent Jamie Kraatz announced a tentative bond Town Hall for March 19 to address widespread misinformation and told the board the district is seeking bids for spring field work, repairs to Hemmeter’s roof and a damaged room at Heritage High.
Saginaw Township Superintendent Jamie Kraatz told the Committee-of-the-Whole on March 9 that the district will hold a bond Town Hall tentatively on March 19 to address what she described as widespread misinformation about the proposal and to answer questions from the community.
Kraatz also provided a facilities update, saying the district is preparing for the spring sports season and is seeking bids to repair and restore several outdoor grass fields. The district is soliciting bids for grassy areas around portables at Weiss and Westdale, preparing for upcoming inspections, reviewing needed roof repairs at Hemmeter Elementary and arranging repairs for a damaged room at Heritage High School. Specific contract amounts and timelines were not specified in the minutes.
The superintendent said she attended a legislative breakfast the morning of March 9 and met with community members and elected officials as part of outreach ahead of the bond Town Hall. She emphasized the need for the Town Hall to correct misinformation and to provide residents an opportunity to ask questions.
The meeting also included a presentation from White Pine Middle School Principal Kevin Champagne, who provided a school update; the minutes record that an update was given but do not include details of that presentation. The board recognized White Pine rotating art students and the Heritage High School Varsity Pompon squad as 2026 state champions.
