Franklin, MA: Finance Committee - Agenda for meeting Dec 13, 2023 |
FM #1113 = This is the Franklin Matters radio show, number 1113 in the series.
This session of the radio show shares my recorded conversation with Franklin School Committee Chair Dave Callaghan. We had our conversation in the Franklin TV & Public Radio studio on Monday, December 4, 2023.
Two key topics for this conversation were recapping the MASC Workshop on Monday (11/27/23), and then the School Committee meeting on Tuesday (11/28/23).
The recording runs about 28 minutes so let’s listen to my “chalkboard chat” with School Committee Chair Dave Callaghan. Audio link -> https://franklin-ma-matters.captivate.fm/episode/fm-1113-chalkboard-chat-with-dave-callaghan-12-04-23
