"should have a wide-ranging meeting about how to fund the schools"

From the Milford Daily News, articles of interest for Franklin:
"The school district has identified several capital needs - including science curriculum materials and replacement Chromebook laptops - for the upcoming year, but officials lamented the uncertainty around funding those items. 
Administration members briefed the School Committee on the needs at a Tuesday night meeting, saying the list was developed in consultation with principals, the district business office and the town's building department. 
Assistant Superintendent Peter Light said the district had created a list: science materials, Chromebooks, staff laptops, replacement interactive SMART boards, improvements to the Davis Thayer Elementary School building and a new cafeteria freezer. 
Assistant Superintendent Joyce Edwards said the top priority was the science materials, as they would help the schools meet new state guidelines on instruction in the subject."
