Public commenter backs Alison Reed during Saginaw board vacancy interviews
Summary
At the Dec. 3 special meeting, a lifelong Saginaw resident publicly supported candidate Alison L. Reed during interviews for a board vacancy; the board conducted three interviews using a 14‑question format and a 10‑minute break between candidates.
During the special meeting's public comment period, John Russell Thomas—who identified himself as born and raised in Saginaw and a 1963 SHS graduate—stood in support of applicant Alison L. Reed.
"He stood in support of his community friend, Ms. Alison Reed, who is applying for the Saginaw School Board," the minutes state. The public comment occurred before the board's deliberation and scoring.
Board interviewer Mrs. Seals explained that the 14 interview questions would be divided among members and that there would be a brief 10‑minute break between candidates while board members tallied scores. The minutes list the three candidates as Vera G. Harrison, Janae T. Bady and Alison L. Reed; scoring and the subsequent appointment favored Harrison.
