FM #163 - School Start Times update

FM #163

This internet radio show or podcast is number 163 in the series for Franklin Matters.

This recording shares the School Start Times update from the Franklin School Committee meeting held on May 28, 2019.

The update is one of an undetermined series as the administration continues to work out details on the proposal for school start times.

Superintendent Sara Ahern provides the update. The slides she refers to are linked in the show notes so you can follow along. At the end several members of the community take an active role in commenting or raising questions.

Per the Superintendent, the second update will come in September. Some number of updates may follow depending upon the progress in answering questions and developing a set of answers for a plan to change start times. If and when there is a proposal, there will be advance notification before the School Committee takes a vote.

Without further ado, here is the audio recording (approx 1 hour 20 minutes).

This podcast is my public service effort for Franklin but I can't do it alone. I can always use your help.

How can you help?

In particular, if you have an interest in real estate, zoning, or construction, I would like someone to help us by following the Planning Board, Zoning Board of Appeals, and or the Conservation Commission meetings. I’ll provide the guidance on note taking and sharing. You need to bring an inquisitive, open mind, and willingness to learn and share.

Overall:
If you can use the information that you find here, please tell your friends and neighbors.
If you don't like this, please let me know.

Through this feedback loop we can continue to make improvements.
Thank you for listening.
