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.
