A speaker in a suit presenting a slide titled "Our Ideology Continued: How Saginaw ISD is different." The slide highlights topics like "Forward-Facing Culture" and "Striving for Excellence" with a graphic of a three-legged stool labeled "Environment," "Compensation," and "Culture & Climate." An audience member is seated in the foreground with a notebook, and a table with a Pepsi can and snacks is visible.
Three men posing together in formal attire at a conference. The man in the center is wearing a black suit with a light blue shirt and patterned tie, flanked by two others in suits: one in navy blue on the left and the other in light gray on the right. They are smiling in a well-lit indoor setting.
Had a fantastic time supporting Frankenmuth School District at their inspiring professional development event. The keynote and work sessions with Dr. Buddy Berry were outstanding. Huge thanks to Superintendent Grant Hegenauer for inviting other districts to join! #Culture
