Superintendent says district is combating misinformation on bond; highlights Bond Landing Page and PFM calculator
Summary
Superintendent Jamie Kraatz told the board she has spoken about the bond with local groups, flagged misinformation circulating in the community, and pointed to the district’s Bond Landing Page and a PFM tax calculator used for outreach.
Superintendent Jamie Kraatz told board members she had briefed community groups — including an NAACP panel and the Saginaw Charter Township Board — about the district bond and said outreach will include postcards, door knockers and yard signs. Kraatz said there is “a lot of misinformation out in the community” and directed members to the district’s Bond Landing Page for authoritative details.
Kraatz also demonstrated a tax calculator created by PFM and showed how the tool works for residents evaluating the bond’s impact. The Committee‑of‑the‑Whole did not take a formal vote on bond messaging at the meeting; Kraatz described outreach plans and the materials the district intends to use.
