UPDATE:

SAGINAW, MI — Saginaw School District officials are considering a consolidation plan that would close Saginaw High School.

Superintendent Carlton Jenkins is giving a presentation to the Board of Education at 6 p.m. Monday, Feb. 3, regarding the future of Saginaw schools at the district's instructional center, 1505 Ottawa in Saginaw.

More than 70 people are in attendance, including State Sen. Roger Kahn, R-Saginaw Township.

In order to deal with a loss of students and a decline in funding, the district will look at a redesign process that includes closing Saginaw High School and Daniels Middle School and sending students to Arthur Hill High School and Thompson Middle School, respectively.

The plan includes changes throughout the district, including at the elementary school level.

The meeting is a planning session and the board will not take action tonight, said Board President Beverly Yanca.

On Wednesday, the board will have a special meeting. The venue is yet unknown, she said.
