For those doing the math, aside from Chap 70 & the UGGA (unrestricted local aid), there is $283,000 specifically for Franklin (excluding the unknown portion of the 7010-1192 (DESE) $500,000 and the unknown portion of the 8000-0313 (EOPSS) $50,000 - 'unknown portions' as both of these amounts are grand totals covering several communities and the breakout is not available).
By my view, both the Chap 70 & UGGA (unrestricted local aid) amounts are more than what was put into the Town of Franklin budget approved by the Town Council in May.
