This Chalkboard Chat recaps the current Schools situation awaiting results of the Special Election June 11 (audio)

FM #1232 = This is the Franklin Matters radio show, number 1232 in the series. 


This session shares my conversation with School Committee Chairperson Dave Callaghan. This is a new episode of our continuing “Chalkboard Chat” series. We had our discussion in the Franklin TV & Radio studio after our respective participation in the Strawberry Stroll on Friday, June 7, 2024. 

 

We talk about 

  • The school budget & the override scheduled for June 11

  • Redistricting next steps proceeding no matter the override vote results

  • Harsh reality of cuts pending if the override vote fails

  • Reminder to vote on June 11 and make sure your friends & neighbors do so as well


The recording runs about 35 minutes, so let’s listen in. Audio link -> https://franklin-ma-matters.captivate.fm/episode/fm-1232-chalkboard-chat-06-07-24
