Board approves recognition of Learning Disability Awareness Month and Indigenous Peoples Day
Summary
The board unanimously approved two recognition resolutions: one declaring Learning Disability Awareness Month and another recognizing Indigenous Peoples Day on the second Monday of October; the superintendent framed both as opportunities to highlight district inclusion work.
The Franklin McKinley School District board voted to approve Resolution 2025‑46 recognizing a Learning Disability Awareness Month and Resolution 2025‑47 recognizing the second Monday in October as Indigenous Peoples Day.
The superintendent described the learning-disability resolution as a way to "highlight the work that this district is doing in creating inclusive environments for students, specifically students with disabilities," and noted the Indigenous Peoples Day recognition aligns with the governor’s and national calendars and offers a moment to "highlight and recognize their contribution." Board members asked clarifying questions about the purpose of recognizing national observances locally; several directors emphasized these are recognitions rather than program events.
Both items were moved, seconded and approved by voice vote during the meeting.
