Town Council asked to approve ballot question to authorize funding for new Tri-County school for the Nov 7 election

Among the key items on the Town Council agenda Wednesday, Sep 20 is the proposed ballot question to fund the Tri-County new school building. The proposed ballot question is part 2 of the school building approval. Part 1 of the approval is the 11 community vote on October 24, a simple yes or no answer required to build the school. Assuming the school is authorized by a 50% plus 1 margin, then this question is required to authorize Franklin to fund its portion. The proposed ballot question is before the Council to get on the Nov 7, 2023 election ballots.

"Shall the Town of Franklin be allowed to exempt from the provisions of

proposition two and one-half, so-called, the amounts required to pay the

Town’s allocable share of the bonds issued by the Tri-County Regional

Vocational Technical School District to pay costs of designing, constructing

and equipping a new high school to be located at 147 Pond Street, in

Franklin, including the payment of all costs incidental or related thereto?"
