Board adopts Juneteenth resolution; plans flag‑raising
Summary
The Franklin McKinley board adopted Resolution 2026‑26 recognizing Juneteenth and plans a flag‑raising event the day before the holiday; vote was 4 ayes and 1 abstention.
The board adopted Resolution 2026‑26 in recognition of Juneteenth, with Superintendent Cruz noting the historical significance of the day marking the liberation of the last enslaved people in the United States.
Cruz said the district will place the Juneteenth flag the day before the holiday because the district will be closed on the observed date. Trustee comments emphasized the symbolic importance of reaffirming support for civil rights and inclusion; the motion passed with four ayes and one abstention (Trustee Cooper).
Trustees said the resolution is timely in light of national debates about voting rights and civic participation, and they expressed hope the resolution would communicate district values to families and staff.
