The teachers union overwhelming approved a proposal to freeze their wages for one year, which will save an estimated 16 teachers' jobs, said School Committee Chairman Jeffrey Roy yesterday.
The Franklin Education Association voted 176-74 yesterday in favor of the proposal, which defers members' negotiated 2.5 percent pay raise through June 30, 2010, Roy said.
Union President Robert McLaughlin could not be reached for comment yesterday.

I do not believe that the article states the correct number of school positions to be cut for this budget year. By my count, I show the following positions cut since FY 2003:
Franklin (MA) School Position Reductions | Total |
FY 2003 | -28 |
FY 2004 | -21 |
FY 2005 | -1 |
FY 2006 | -4 |
FY 2007 | -1 |
FY 2008 | -29 |
FY 2009 | -44 |
FY 2010 | -45 |
-172 |
