Elect
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.
Opt-Out Notice Program
The OPT-OUT Notice delivery system allows you to send a fully completed and signed OPT-OUT Notice directly to your child’s school and district. By utilizing this system, you ensure that your preferences regarding your child’s education are formally communicated and respected.
Parents Have Rights
I support every parents' right to choose the school they feel is BEST for their children, whether it's Regular, Charter, Private, or Homeschool!
This parent leadership team at one of our great charter schools, ACE Esperanza Middle School, thanked me for my unwavering support of them and their mission to provide a quality education in a safe and friendly environment. Go Panthers!
