District overview
Franklin-McKinley Elementary School District
Funding structure, how it compares to peers, and where major projects stand.
A San Jose K-8 district balancing reductions, school programs, facilities, and charter oversight
The Franklin-McKinley Board of Education governs district schools, adopts the budget and curriculum, employs the superintendent, oversees district-authorized charter schools, and places local bond measures before voters. School Site Councils separately help write each school's achievement plan and allocate school-level categorical funds.
Budget reductions have moved into staffing
The board considered ongoing reductions in September and approved a final classified-layoff resolution 5-0 in April.
Mobile-device rules reached a second reading
The June 16 agenda scheduled a second reading of Board Policy and Administrative Regulation 5131.8; the archive row names the policy but does not include its full text as a separate collected document.
A new bond measure entered its oversight phase
The August 11 agenda scheduled a resolution declaring the Measure C election result and establishing a citizens' oversight committee consolidated with the Measure H and R committee.
The board directly oversees charter renewals
Rocketship Spark and ACE Esperanza renewal decisions appeared on the board's December and February agendas.
The official archive exposes complete English condensed agendas and available minutes, but not every packet attachment. Seven early minutes are image-only scans that were visually reviewed, and seven later meeting rows currently lack a standalone minutes link. Agenda-stage alerts are labeled scheduled and do not claim adoption.
