SAGINAW COUNTY, MI - The president of the Saginaw Intermediate School District’s Board of Education has retired after nearly three decades of service, according to a news release from the district.
Richard Burmeister resigned from the board after 29 years effective Tuesday, Dec. 31. An alumnus of Freeland High School, Burmeister worked for decades as a caseworker and later administrator with the Michigan Department of Health and Human services. His work in the area, including Saginaw and Midland counties, instilled in him the importance of education and prompted him to serve the board of the ISD and Freeland Community School District, according to the release.
“Mr. Burmeister has created a lasting legacy of bold and courageous leadership by which an incredible foundation of excellence has been established at Saginaw ISD,” said ISD Superintendent Jeffrey Collier in the release. “His experience, wisdom, and energy have been integral in supporting important decisions while protecting the best interests of our school children and families throughout Saginaw County and the Great Lakes Bay Region.”
During Burmeister’s tenure, the ISD brought back Head Start programs to Saginaw County, passed a career and technical education millage, helped to establish the Great Lakes Bay Early College program and more, according to the release.
“From supporting the passing of the CTE millage in 2018 to attending the State of the Union address with Gary Peters in 2020, I leave in good care the many successes, benchmarks, and paved paths forward that we have accomplished in education for students, families, and community members throughout Saginaw County,” Burmeister said in the release.. “The district is in good hands, and I do not expect anything but positive outcomes for the future of education in Saginaw County. It has been a pleasure serving in this role.”
