As a student in the Saginaw Public School district, specifically as a student at Saginaw Arts and Sciences Academy, I can attest first hand to the creative ways in which Saginaw Public schools provides for its students. I have seen sports teams combined across schools in order to give students from less sports-inclined schools access to better sports facilities. I have also seen brand new learning techniques being brought into schools such as the IB curriculum. However, I have also seen some notable issues that I would like to see changes in. One of the worst parts of my experience as a student of SPSD has been the lack of funding to schools, leading to students having to used outdated equipment and outdated facilities to continue learning as best as they can. I have experienced hand-me-down technology and years old books at my school particularly. I would like to see more funding going to the materials students must use in class, I believe this would benefit the district grately.

The diversity welcomed in the Saginaw Public School District is amazing. Every culture and religion are not only accepted but also embraced. The lack of communication between the school district and its students is very frustrating.

I think overall the school district is great. There are many good teachers in all schools I have been enrolled in. There are things that could be better like communication with students but there is nothing that would turn me away from the district.
