Board adopts CSBA‑backed resolution calling on state for coherent student‑achievement plan

Franklin-McKinley School District Board of Education · August 12, 2026

Summary

Trustee Sanchez introduced and the board adopted resolution 2026‑39 urging the state to develop a coherent plan and aligned resources to close achievement gaps; trustees noted funding amounts remain under debate.

The Franklin‑McKinley board adopted a resolution urging the state to develop a coherent plan for supporting local schools and closing long‑standing achievement gaps.

"We thought it was important to move it forward," Trustee Sanchez said, describing how the resolution was debated at the CSBA delegate assembly and why the board supports calling for clearer state goals and aligned resources. The resolution (2026‑39) asks the state to set measurable benchmarks and align funding and accountability systems to support districts.

A trustee asked whether a specific dollar amount had been established for the proposed state effort; Trustee Sanchez said funding levels were still being debated and not yet finalized. The board then moved and adopted the resolution by voice vote.

The resolution is an expression of board priorities and a request to the state; it does not commit district dollars. Staff and trustees said they expect further advocacy and clarification from CSBA and state legislators about funding targets.
