Marc Cooper
for
Franklin McKinley School Board 2026
“The role of the Board of Trustees for a school district is to represent the values of the community. That’s what I will do for you.”

My ABC’s as a
Board Trustee
After teaching in the public school system for the past 22 years, I have sadly recognized that children are being promoted to high school unprepared to succeed academically. I am running for Franklin-McKinley School District Board to have an impact on the preparation of kindergarten through 8th grade students to succeed in high school.
