February 28, 2020

Good morning Franklin Families and Faculty/Staff,

We are aware that many families and staff members have concerns and questions related to the news of the recent outbreak of the Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) and how it may impact our local schools and community.

As a district, we are remaining informed of the health advisories being issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Massachusetts Department of Public Health (MA DPH), the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) and other agencies. 

For your reference, you may wish to view the following links, which are providing regular updates and recommendations:

While this is a public health concern, the CDC and MA DPH continue to report that the immediate risk to the general public remains low at this time.

Please see the attached letter for additional school-based information related to prevention.
