Why are there multiple calendars?

Respectfully, the Library and Senior Center calendars are too full of events to include all their events so we tend to focus on the major events. Town and School meetings are also kept separate. Links for all the calendars are shared here:

Franklin, MA: School Committee subcommittee meetings - April 9 & April 10

Newly elected Franklin School Committee reorganizes, Callaghan as Chair, McNeill as Vice-Chair (video)

The newly elected Franklin (MA) School Committee met for the first time on Tuesday, Nov 14, 2023 and reorganized. 

Superintendent Lucas Giguere opened the meeting and after soliciting nominations for the Chair, conducted the vote to confirm Dave Callaghan as the new Chair. Superintendent then turned the meeting gavel over to Chair Callaghan.

The Chair solicited nominations for a Vice-Chair and conducted the vote to confirm Dave McNeill.  No musical chairs tonight, they'll remain as seated for this session.

The committee was sworn in by Franklin's Town Clerk Nancy Danello when they had gathered but just before the meeting began.

Brief recap:

• Superintendent's report; full PD day on Nov 7. 56 students by this week expected across all levels; $104/day per student enrolled from the hotel environment. Coordinating with Town and local resources, inclement weather may have an impact as the season progresses, update coming
• Migrant is not a good term, new arrival is the better term to be used as there are a variety of statuses within the population
• FHS update from Principal Hanna and 2 other assistants, slides being captured via pix which will be shared in one album. "Engagement is all the same as in Disney" "There are moments when things aren't perfect, that is a public high school with 1600 students; the majority of the students are behaving and performing well"
• The album with the photos captured of the presentation  https://photos.app.goo.gl/Epjj1EDBSFk8X4cT8

Franklin Public Schools: Policy Sub Committee Meeting - Feb 8, 2023 - 6:00 PM

Franklin School Committee reviews FHS program of studies & approved Westboro for membership to the Accept Collaborative (audio)

FM #924 = This is the Franklin Matters radio show, number 924 in the series. 

This session shares the Franklin, MA School Committee meeting held on Tuesday, January 24, 2023. The meeting was conducted in the Council Chambers with six members present and one member (M Whitmore) remote. Hence all votes were via roll call.

School Committee Chair Denise Spencer opens the meeting at 7:00 PM. 

Key items on the agenda

• Update from Supt Giguere on the Inclement Weather Policy, now that we have had some weather to deal with, a reminder on the process, how it is coordinated with DPW, Police and Fire. Additional details posted on FPS page (see link below)

• FHS Program of Studies - Principal Josh Hanna presented an update on the program highlighting some changes to add courses, and answered questions from the School Committee. He acknowledged as he began that this was the results of a whole team of effort, many of whom were out and about tonight with student activities. The PDF of my notes captures screen presentation pages. The presentation doc should get posted soon to the meeting folder so you can find additional details

• Accept Collaborative presentation - E Stokes recused herself from this portion of the meeting to avoid a conflict of interest. The presentation provided an overview of the services and work among the collaborative to support the needs of the students in the district. This was all in advance of a discussion and vote by the Committee to approve the application of Westborough into the Collaborative (each member needs to do so, it was mentioned this is the first of a few). The Committee voted unanimously (6-0-1; 6 for, 0 no, 1 - recuse)

• Proposed school committee meeting calendar and Accept Collaborative report were among the items for discussion only

• The Committee did enter Executive Session not to return to open meeting

The show notes contain a link to the full agenda and to my notes & photos captured via Twitter during the meeting. 

The recording runs about 1 hour and 40 minutes, so let’s listen to the Franklin School Committee on January 24, 2023. Audio file -> https://franklin-ma-matters.captivate.fm/episode/fm-924-town-of-franklin-ma-school-cmte-mtg-01-24-23
