Trustees report on community events; president requests support for Little Saigon freeway recognition
Summary
Board members summarized community visits and district events; Board President requested placing a resolution on a future agenda supporting Assembly Concurrent Resolution 71 to designate a portion of Highway 101 as 'Little Saigon Freeway.'
Trustees used the communications portion of the agenda to report on recent community and school events, including the district’s student performances at the 35th annual Moon Festival, a college and career fair attended by more than 2,000 people, and multiple school-site visits. Several trustees thanked staff for outreach and applauded student participation.
Board President (speaker 12) asked the superintendent to place a resolution on a future agenda supporting Assembly Concurrent Resolution 71 by Assemblymember Ash Kalra, which would designate a section of Highway 101 near San Jose’s Little Saigon as the "Little Saigon Freeway." "Since Franklin McKinley serves many Vietnamese American students and families, I think it'll be a meaningful way for us to formally support this recognition of the community's cultural and historical contribution," the president said.
Trustees also described attendance at community meetings (including tenant association meetings), outreach to charter operators, and partnerships with regional education organizations. The president’s request was noted for future agenda scheduling; no formal board action was taken during this meeting.
