FMSD Open Session - Board Meeting - 08/25/2026

The Franklin-McKinley School District board meeting held on August 25, 2026, focused primarily on the adoption of a statutory developer fee for residential and commercial industrial development projects for the 2026-2027 cycle. The board reviewed a presentation detailing the fee structure, which sets the maximum fee at $5.38 per square foot for residential and $0.87 per square foot for commercial industrial developments. This fee is adjusted biennially by the state allocation board and is intended to offset the costs of new school facilities necessitated by development. The board approved resolution 2026-35 to adopt this fee, which will take effect 60 days after the vote. Additionally, the board appointed Melanie Skin to the Citizens Bond Oversight Committee and approved the 2026-27 Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP). Consent items over $25,000 were approved without discussion, and updates to board policies regarding inventories, equipment, and volunteer assistance were also adopted to ensure compliance and reduce staff workload. The meeting included reports on ongoing facilities modernization projects and upcoming community engagement events.
