The days of 6-inch, 500-page School Committee packets are gone, replaced by the much greener option of e-documents and laptops.
Aiming to save the environment, cash, and set an example for the rest of the district, the School Committee has decided to "go green."
At the suggestion of Annie Sullivan Middle School Principal Beth Wittcoff, a member of the paperless Southborough School Committee, the Franklin School Committee did a pilot run at its first meeting, and gave it rave reviews, said Chairman Jeffrey Roy.
Members discovered a minor glitch - that their laptop batteries died once the meeting hit the 2-hour mark. The town has since put electrical outlets at the meeting table, Roy said.
"Everybody loved it, so we jumped on it from there," said Roy.
