Franklin School Committee hears concerns from teachers before vote to approve FY 2026 budget (video)
- The Keller Student Council stepped forward to lead the Pledge of Allegiance to open the meeting
- During the Superintendent's report, there was recognition of 4 FHS musicans who were selected to the All-State Music Fesitval; Emma Anderson (French horn), Ace Eagerman (string bass), Alex Fioavanti (?) and Emily Lou, (violin)
- During the discussion prior to the vote on the budget, a number of teachs from elementary, middle, and high school stepped up to comment
- on the decline of funding over the years
- the impact on the students and their educational development
- affects on college prep with a limit on foreign language options less than optimal
- and not talked off impacts to the new schedule at both elementary & middle levels while individual classes size is maintained within guidelines,the teacher work load increases
- The committee did vote 7-0 on the proposed budget, I assume it is possible to make further adjustments (as hoped for by some of the teachers) given the position we are in for this budget cycle
- The budget as approved does assume a successful override althoughthat decision remains before the Town Council at a March meeting, after the listening session are completed. Date and amount of override to be determined
- School calendar for the 2025-2026 year was approved. It does start after Labor Day this year to enable the move to be completed. Resumption of pre-Labor Day start is expected for the next school year
- Discussion on a draft of the School Committee meeting calendar covered multiple topics mostly around the local election in November and to prepare for a new committee to be able to transition into their new role more easily than prior
- Motion to enter into Executive session, not to return to public meeting for contract negotiation discussions
