Franklin TV: The MIAA Bracket Reveal

For High School Sports – This is a Big Event

by Pete Fasciano, Executive Director 03/03/2024

I ended last week with:
“ Saturday: 7:30am call time. Prepare to go live – statewide – with our first MIAA bracket reveal programs. Several other PEG studios will carry our programs live. “

I’m pleased to report that in a ‘first’ at Franklin.TV, working with MASSLive.com and MIAA (Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association), our studio was connected across the state via several other PEG facilities, and over the internet via YouTube LIVE. We conducted two one-hour broadcasts hosted by Meredith Perri of MASSLive, along with Franklin.TV’s Jay Horrigan and Pete Royce. Thanks to Jim Clark and Steve Dubzinski at MIAA for their work on the stats and brackets.

In the studio, L to R: School Sports Historian, Michael Richard, Jay Horrigan and Meredith Perri interview a student athlete. Chris Flynn is at the studio controls.

All in, more than 3,000 folks statewide; athletes, athletic directors, coaches, and others, tuned in to Franklin.TV or their local cable station, or they watched online via YouTube Live to see the MIAA results immediately as they were released.

Events like this are also opportunities to produce more challenging ‘reach’ projects that advance our studio capabilities and staff skills. We’re already planning more technical updates to facilitate and improve our future Live MIAA events.

Let the word go forth – from MIAA.

Thanks for listening to 102.9 wfpr●fm. 
And – as always – thanks for watching.

Franklin School Committee hears and approves of the school improvement plans from all the schools in the District (video)

The Franklin School Committee met as scheduled on Tuesday evening Sep 26, 2023 in the Council Chambers. 6 members participated (one absent (Charles)).

Brief recap
  • The meeting focused on the next level of the District Improvement Plan which was introduced in the prior meeting. Administrators from the High school and middle schools, then the elementary schools presented how their goals are tied and support the overall goals
  • As revealed during the presentations and follow on clarification, the goals are intended to be consistent across the district. The goals focus on the key efforts underway and refining within them, for example in social emotional learning (SEL)
  • During the discussion the cost of the multi-tiered levels of support was raised, and the answer was impactful - "What is the cost of not providing it (such support)?"
  • As the improvement plans came up for a vote to approve, the vote passed 6-0 on the plans as modified during the discussion (minor adjustment to a piece of the elementary section)
