6/5/13 - The Fowlerville School Board held a retirement party for Superintendent Richard Heinrich last night. The district hired Heinrich in 2009 with the understanding that he would only stay in the position for a few years. Effective June 30th, he will retire from the educational field after 36 years spent among six different districts. Dozens of people attended the retirement party last night, including Representative Cindy Denby. She presented Heinrich with a certificate signed by Governor Rick Snyder and local legislators thanking him and recognizing his years of service. School Board President Mike Brown says Heinrich steered the district through some difficult economic times. Heinrich tells WHMI that of all his accomplishments in office, he is most proud of how the district managed to handle the recession and ensuing state budget cuts. He says he plans to get a new job somewhere else, but for the summer he will be spending time at his vacation home on Lake Huron with his wife and family. His position will be filled by current Assistant Superintendent Wayne Roedel. (TD)
