Saginaw Township Community Schools - WHAT AN INTERESTING COINCIDENCE?

[Shadowninja]

 WELL, WELL, WELL... WHAT AN INTERESTING COINCIDENCE.

Dearest readers,

Remember Saturday's post about administrator credentials at Saginaw Township Community Schools?

Specifically, Heritage High School Assistant Principal Marcie Winters?

Well, I have a rather interesting update.

A reader sent me a breadcrumb, which I verified when I checked Michigan's educator credential system on Saturday. At that time there were SIX records listed for Ms. Winters.

All six were teaching credentials.

No School Administrator Permit appeared. Not ONE.

I checked again today.

And wouldn't you know it?

There are now SEVEN records.

That seventh record?

A School Administrator Permit for the 2026–2027 school year, issued to Saginaw Township Community Schools.

And the issue date?

📅 OCTOBER 17, 2026. SATURDAY!

The very same day Lady Budgetdown brought the credential question to readers' attention.

Now, isn't that an interesting coincidence?

I do have a few questions.

How could the board unanimously approve her elevation to assistant principal in 2025 for the 2025-2026 school year without verifying she had the proper credentials?

How could the board who stated her promotion was based on if she received the proper certifications/credentials etc., not follow up on that for over a year?

Why was an administrator permit for the 2026–2027 school year issued in mid-October?

And is the timing simply a coincidence?

I've included the MOECS screenshots so readers can see the change for themselves.

Sometimes a breadcrumb leads to another breadcrumb.

And sometimes the dates raise more questions than the original records.

With receipts and respect,
