This was followed by a presentation on the special education program. Beth Fitzmaurice was joined by Stephanie Gedis, Dillon Scarnicki, and Sara Mulcahey in making the presentation. Dillon was supported by most of the Franklin Boys Hockey team which he is part of. He showed a brief video clip of his first goal scored!

What a marked difference in community presence and meeting conduct.
The School Committee did get into some hard discussions around the capital budget (top priorities outlined here) and on the 2015-16 calendar (the school marking periods and parent meetings still need to be added to this draft). One section of a policy is being retired as it is outdated and covered by other business practices and legal requirements.
Of not, there will likely be a future discussion about the school starting time. Given some studies about high schoolers starting so early and recent weather events where extra time in the morning would make a difference for the safety of all involved with the schools, there is work underway to see if that could be done. Stay tuned as this will be a topic for a future meeting.
The enxt meeting this month will also be held at the Franklin High School. Details on specific location within remained to be announced.
