Franklin Matters: Franklin School Committee welcomed Supt Giguere and heard the FEF story in their brief meeting

Quick: Recap:

The School Committee meeting met briefly (37 minutes) on Tuesday for their only July scheduled regular meeting
Superintendent Lucas Giguere has hit the ground running per his update in the Superintendent's report. This was his first formal meeting as Superintendent filling in for Sara Ahern who departed for Barnstable
Franklin Education Foundation (FEF) board members Pandora Carlucci and Roberta Trahan presented on the FEF history, their fund raising efforts, changes due to the pandemic and hope to return to a more normal operation eventually. The School District did get a grant this year and how those funds were used was shared during the session
Very little action was reported among the subcommittee meetings due to the 'vacation'/summer schedule
All action items were approved via the Consent Agenda although not in the bulk format the process usually affords them. They were split individually to allow committee members to abstain from individual meetings they missed, and then continued this individual approach
