Last week, Saline Middle School Principal Michelle Szczechowicz announced her resignation to take the Director of Curriculum position at Holly Area Schools.
This week, Saline Area Schools announced that Saline native and longtime administrator David Raft is returning to the district as interim principal at the middle school. Raft begins Oct. 9.
Raft left the school district in August of 2022 to become Executive Director of Secondary Education Curriculum and Instruction in Wayne Westland School District.

Martin provided the timeline for hiring a permanent principal:
