Reinstating Jeremy Jones as a GLBEC Math Teacher, Mentor, and Robotics Coach
Jeremy Jones, an outstanding math teacher, mentor, and robotics coach was let go by the Great Lakes Bay Early College and his position within the education institution terminated due to decisions made by the Saginaw Intermediate School District. Mr.Jones has impacted many students' lives not only through his well taught classes but also his skills as a mentor. Great Lakes Bay Early college would not be the outstanding academic organization that it is today if it had not been for Mr.Jones and his contributions to the students, faculty, and reputation of GLBEC. As a robotics coach, Mr.Jones not only built the team from the ground up but also led them to the state robotics competition as well as successfully integrated the team with the EngiNERDS robotics team. This not only bolstered the image and reputation of GLBEC but also greatly impacted the students that are a part of the team. On top of that, Mr.Jones has been a wonderful, effective, and amazing mentor to many students in his four years at GLBEC. In the classroom, Mr.Jones was able to teach students a thorough understanding of many different mathematical lessons and concepts but also made class enjoyable and fun. Overall, Mr.Jones has made an indelible mark on GLBEC, its students, and its staff that the district has failed to recognize. We ask that if you have felt the impact Mr.Jones has left on all of us, that you pledge your support to him and the continuation of his position at the Great Lakes Bay Early College.

The administration at the Saginaw Intermediate School District clearly underestimated how many people are fed up with their reckless decision to fire a teacher like Jeremy Jones. This momentum is the direct result of everyone refusing to let them destroy the culture he built at GLBEC. Keep applying the pressure because the board needs to realize we are not going away.

ABSOLUTELY This program needs Mr. Jones! As a parent, his impact on students is IMPERATIVE!
Mr. Jones might be the best math teacher I’ve ever had. I would like to see him more throughout my entire time at GLBEC. We are happy to support your role that inspires us!
I never had him as a teacher or mentor, but i can say without a doubt that even on the days when I was worrying about my medical conditions, his personality, jokes, and the way he taught always seemed to make me smile. Losing him as a teacher would not only put students at a learning disadvantage but would also decrease the day to day happiness felt in the GLBEC environment.
Mr. Jones has been super impactful in my career at GLBEC. As a teacher and mentor Mr. Jones has helped me and others a lot.
Mr. Jones has impacted my life more than any other teacher in any other school. Please don't let GLBEC continue without him.
It saddens me to hear that Mr. Jones won't be at GLBEC next year. He has been a huge part of my daughters 2 years at GLBEC. She has gone to him countless times with problems and he has helped her with a resolution. She felt comfortable enough to talk to him about any issues that she doesn't feel comfortable to talk to any of the other mentors about. He cared for the students and you could see it when he would work with them with the Robotics Team. This is a huge loss for the students, parents, and program. These students need someone like him that is a friend as well as a mentor to help them with any issues that they feel they can't just talk to anyone. He's always had an open ear to listen to issues the students are having and helped them come up with a solution to the problem.
Favorite teacher. Didn't deserve this.

Mr. Jones has influenced me so much in this past school year than any other mentor in my educational career. This man truly loved his job. He cared so incredibly much about each and every student in the Great Lakes Bay Early College even if they weren’t his student. He poured his heart into our education and donated countless hours of his time and personal funds to our robotics team. No other employee will ever be able to fill his shoes. Mr. Jones is an intricate part of students lives, he has helped so many of us discover our true passions in life and what it will take for us to get there. The program and its students are at a tremendous loss with Mr. Jones’ termination of employment.
