The Saginaw Intermediate School District (ISD) has appointed David Krantz as the new Executive Director of Special Education. With over 25 years of experience, Krantz brings a strong commitment to quality education for all students, having previously served as the ISD’s Director of Special Education.
Superintendent Dr. Jeffrey Collier praised Krantz’s leadership, stating, “David Krantz’s servant leadership aligns perfectly with our mission to serve, innovate, and empower at Saginaw ISD. His experience and vision will be instrumental in providing exceptional services and opportunities for students throughout Saginaw County.”
Krantz’s work in passing the 2022 Special Education Millage enhancement, which secured funding to expand resources for students with diverse abilities, is one example of his dedication. In 2020, he received the Murray O. Batten Humanitarian Award from the Michigan Administrators of Special Education, recognizing his impact on the community.
Reflecting on his new role, Krantz shared, “I am incredibly honored to step into this position and continue serving the Saginaw ISD community. I am committed to working alongside our talented staff to ensure that each student receives the support they need to reach their fullest potential.”
Dr. Erin Senkowski, Deputy Superintendent of Instructional Programs, has worked closely with Krantz and expressed her confidence in his ability to lead. “Dave’s advocacy for students and families has made a lasting impact, and I look forward to seeing the positive outcomes that will continue under his leadership,” she said.
Krantz began his career in special education after graduating from Saginaw Valley State University (SVSU). He has held various roles at Saginaw ISD since 2011, focusing on compliance and administration. Active in organizations like the Michigan Association of Administrators of Special Education (MAASE), he is well-regarded for his advocacy at both the state and national levels. Outside of work, Krantz enjoys family time with his wife, Angie, and their two children, Elijah and Emily.
As Krantz steps into his new position, Saginaw ISD will begin searching for a new Director of Special Education to uphold the district’s high standards of support for students and families.
