Quick Recap:
- After a brief audio issues, those in the Council Chambers couldn't hear folks on Zoom (but we could), the FHS students presented their updates
- Slight decrease in MA Senate version of Chap 70 but they still need to vote on it and then the House reconcile before it goes to Gov Baker for his approval, good news is no major change at this point
- Multiple retirees recognized virtually "it was a tough year to be your last"
- Policies up for second reading were approved, one policy approve for elimination as no longer needed (made redundant by others in place)
- New website for SWAC https://sites.google.com/franklinps.net
- Consent agenda approved, Executive Session entered
