School Committee hears about the "Power of Moments", then spends time questioning the redistricting proposal (audio)

FM #979 = This is the Franklin Matters radio show, number 979 in the series. 


This session of the radio show shares part of the Franklin, MA School Committee meeting held on Tuesday, April 25, 2023.


The meeting was conducted in a hybrid format: all of the School Committee members, school district personnel along with some of the public were in the Council Chambers. Some members of the public participated via Zoom conference bridge.


Quick recap:

  • Heard from an update from Remington on their “Power of Moments” approach

  • Listened to and questioned the proposal for redistricting effective in Sep 2024 with an option for some affected by it to move to their ‘new’ school in Sep 2023. The Committee is scheduled to vote on the proposal at their May 9 meeting

  • Approved the middle school trip to the Grand Canyon and nearby national parks scheduled for April 2024

  • Approved the consent agenda

  • Entered executive session to continue negotiation with ESP/LPN bargaining unit and did not return to open session
