"She gets the job done without fanfare"
Milford Daily News
FRANKLIN —
Paula Mullen, a Franklin resident and vice chairwoman of the School Committee, was one of 100 women in the state named a 2009 Unsung Heroine by the Massachusetts Commission on the Status of Women.
She will be recognized by the commission for outstanding contributions to her community in a ceremony on May 13 from 1 to 4 p.m. at the State House in Boston.
School Committee Chairman Jeffrey Roy nominated Mullen.
Roy thought she was "a perfect fit," especially because she hates the limelight, but deserves the recognition for all the volunteer work she does.

You may recall that this amount was in the hardcopy of the budget but didn’t calculate properly leaving the total unallocated
Sue Rohrbach reports from the budget subcommittee their recommendation
Maureen Sabolinski outlines the proposal to add three teachers in the elementary schools
Consensus was reached by the elementary principals on this decision

My notes from the discussion:
Michael McKean (?) representing Kaestle Boos on the Franklin High School renovation options.
- approximately 30 months for total renovation
- approximately 24 months to build a new school keeping the existing field house
- students will adjust quickly during the construction, the teachers and parents generally have more of an issue adjusting
- in the renovation options, the traffic flow remains mostly the same other than attempting to separate the parent drop offs from the buses
- the auditorium would be about $7 million (as sized at 26000 sq foot)
- all the options would connect on the second level, for brevity of the presentation they were not shown here
- this is not simply building on the roof as the existing building was done before the current seismic codes were put into place
- the new building option would locate the building further away from the existing homes
