Franklin Town Charter discussion: Frank and Steve take a winding road - P2 (audio)

FM #707 = This is the Franklin Matters radio show, number 707 in the series. 


This shares part 2 of my conversation with Frank Falvey, of Franklin Presents, a long time Franklin resident and cable show host. This is part of a three-part series on the Town Charter, the process to change it, and some of the possible revisions that Frank and I discuss.  


While Frank and I start with the charter, we take a winding round through Franklin topics in this session.


Links to the current Town charter (modified in 2013) and the charter report for 1995 (prior changes) are included in the show notes. 


The recording runs just over an hour: Let’s listen to this recording of Frank and I talk about the charter.  


Note: while we mention the PCC’s role in communicating with the parents, there is also a School Council where parents join with faculty representatives in determining changes at the ‘school’ level.
