FM #677 = This is the Franklin Matters radio show, number 677 in the series.
This session of the radio show shares my conversation with Franklin High School Athletic Director Tom Angelo. We had our conversation in person at FHS. The office was mostly quiet although you’ll catch the bell to change classes during our session.
We talk about:
How Tom got to FHS in 2016
Program insights including the development of the Unified teams
Credit goes to the coaches, the student athletes, and the community
Shout outs to HockomockSports.com and Franklin TV for coverage of the sports
Special shout outs to Trainer Jen (Jen Edmunds) and Athletics Secretary Susan Jacobson
Retirement at end of school year and how Tom will keep busy
Links to the key references are included in the show notes. The recording runs about 47 minutes, so let’s listen to my conversation with Tom Angelo

Dear Franklin Families,
We are writing
to inform you of concerns due to recent fan behaviors during our varsity games.
In recent weeks, there have been
several instances of students exhibiting unruly, inappropriate, disrespectful, unsafe, and unsportsmanlike
behavior during games. This includes behavior among middle and elementary students. This behavior is unacceptable. Disrespectful fans will be asked to leave the event. Fans are also not allowed
to exit and re-enter the event.
We have noticed that many younger
students are attending
games unaccompanied by an adult. Dropping children
off at games unattended poses significant safety
concerns.
Effective immediately, all non-Franklin
High School students, including Franklin middle school and elementary school students, must be accompanied and
supervised by an adult throughout the
duration of all varsity games. Unaccompanied children will need to be picked up by their
parents / guardian.
At Franklin
High, we pride ourselves on demonstrating sportsmanship and integrity on the field/court, and it is expected
that our fans exhibit the same behavior
off the field/court (see FHS Spectator Code of Conduct).
Fan cheering and
team support are welcomed parts of sporting events and can directly impact our athletes. Appropriate cheering, done in
good taste, can contribute to a positive game environment. Inappropriate cheering, or excessive
jeering, has an adverse effect on the players, the game, other fans, and does not represent our school
or community values. We have all been enjoying cheering on our outstanding teams this season and wish for their continued success.
We ask that parents/guardians talk to their children about their behavior
during sporting events,
and we are hopeful that this
issue will subside with this new rule in place. We appreciate your cooperation.
Thank you,
Joshua Hanna,
Principal Franklin High School
Sara Ahern,
Superintendent of Schools

"The MIAA Board of Directors took a crucial first step Wednesday in providing urban schools across Massachusetts a larger voice in high school athletics and other business.
By a 20-0 vote, the board agreed to create an urban schools ad hoc committee to serve as an advisory resource to various MIAA committees. Avery Esdaile, athletic director for Boston Public Schools, addressed the board on behalf of a group of ADs from urban areas across the state, which has been meeting regularly to address challenges and other issues their programs face.
“We want to see the group get to, and ultimately be a resource and utilize the different people and experiences that we have, and help out others in the association,” Esdaile said. "
