This exciting collaboration will enable Saginaw ISD to share important updates on education in Saginaw County and across the Great Lakes Bay Region, highlighting key developments, emerging topics, and the broader educational landscape.
This new initiative emphasizes WNEM TV5’s commitment to keeping the community informed about critical issues in education. Through the "Education Matters" segment, Saginaw ISD will cover a wide range of topics, from safety and legislative changes to literacy initiatives, funding, and other timely matters impacting schools. The segment will also provide a platform for Saginaw ISD to rotate through the 12 public school districts and five public school academies it serves, as well as its various departments, including Career and Technical Education, Early Childhood Services, Finance, Human Resources, Instructional Services, Special Education, and Technology.
Through this partnership, Saginaw ISD will share its expertise in a wide array of educational areas. Whether discussing legislative updates, highlighting student and staff achievements, or presenting strategies that impact classrooms, Saginaw ISD is committed to using this platform to inform and inspire. The district's leadership has earned significant recognition, with team members named State Superintendent of the Year, State Special Education Administrator of the Year, and State Business Official of the Year—underscoring the expertise Saginaw ISD brings to this collaboration.
“We are excited to share the incredible work happening in our schools and programs throughout Saginaw County through this partnership with WNEM,” said Dr. Jeffrey Collier, Superintendent of Saginaw ISD. “This opportunity allows us to highlight the great strides being made in education, not just in Saginaw County, but in the larger Great Lakes Bay Region.
