SAVE FRANKLIN MOCK TRIAL 
With no funding from Franklin and SPS, as well as the recent news that our class has been terminated due to budget cuts, the future of FHS Mock Trial is in jeopardy. 
In order to keep the program going, we are demanding 
-One Mock Trial class for the 2023-2024 school year 
-$20,000 annually to cover the cost of competition fees and travel 
-Two Mock Trial classes (one beginning and one advanced) for the 2024-2025 school year and beyond

The news of budget cuts and the loss of our class came at a peak in our program; our class enrollment numbers for next year more than quadrupled, approximately 50 students just participated in our first-ever spring tournament, both of our teams went undefeated in the district and state competitions aside from the team who placed first in the state and fourth in the nation, and we made history this year as the first team in WA state to ever move up 17 places in the state competition placing 20th in 2022 and 3rd in 2023. This loss is devastating. 

Franklin High School has one of the best Mock Trial programs in the nation. We are one of only five schools to have won the National Championship twice, once in 2000 and again in 2018. 
For over 30 years, Franklin Mock Trial has trained hundreds of students (including the current Washington State Solicitor General) how to think critically, speak confidently, and argue persuasively. 
This program is not sustainable without the support of our community, school, and district. Please complete this form, sign our petition, and offer personal testimony to support our efforts to preserve the future of our program. You may also consider joining us at the School Board Meeting (virtually or in-person) on June 21st, 2023 at 4:00 p.m. Information is included below:
