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!

March 5, 2026
At the "Alpha Public Schools 'Stars of Tomorrow'" event, I had the privilege of meeting this parent leadership team at one of our great charter schools, Alpha Cindy Avitia High School, which many of our charter schools in FMSD send our students after they complete 8th grade. The parents thanked me for my unwavering support of them and their mission to provide a quality education in a safe and friendly environment at Cindy Avitia! Parents like these make our schools great!!!
