Please email us!!  Franklin SEPAC invites you to join us on  Thursday, May 18th at 7 PM for the following workshop: Mindfulness and Nutrition  Presented by: Ms. Christene Gerardi and Ms. Janice Houlihan Join us for our final workshop of the year! We will be hearing from two wonderful presenters about ways to help your children both in school and out by focusing on two topics: Mindfulness and Nutrition.  Mindfulness is paying attention in a particular way non-judgmentally.  Research is showing us that a daily mindfulness practice for kids can help counter act many symptoms of stress that we are seeing in our schools and that mindfulness can be the foundation to SEL programs as a way to get students "ready to learn".  Come and hear more about this practice and learn how you can do some mindfulness of your own at home.  Janice Houlihan, M.Ed. is a Co-Founder of a non-profit organization called Inner Explorer whose mission is to unlock academic potential and foster lifelong well-being for millions of children.  Inner Explorer currently operations nationwide and in 20 countries. We will then hear from Christene Lee Gerardi, EdM, an Integrative Medicine Educator, Consultant and Wellness Teacher who has studied both mainstream and integrative health and medicine for over 20 years. She began studying her now 18 year old stepson's sensory processing disorder 15 years ago and is making holistic decisions as she raises her now 9 year old daughter in an effort to prevent, recognize if needed and naturally treat. Because she enjoys food so much, it's her first line of defense!  Christene will show us 5 of the most important nutrients your child should be getting, and how to get them; along with 4 of the most detrimental foods your child is probably eating now and how to replace or eliminate them. In addition, Christene will provide a few natural and complementary therapies that have been shown to be beneficial to children with special needs.    This workshop will be held in the Third-floor training room of the Franklin Municipal Building, 355 East Central Street. As always this workshop is free and open to all.

In the News: special ed costs; threat charge dropped

From the Milford Daily News, articles of interest for Franklin:

"A proposed tuition freeze at state-regulated private schools that serve students with high needs will further squeeze tight budgets at those learning centers, special education advocates say. 

"Our schools are already behind the starting line when the gun goes off," said Jim Major, executive director of the Massachusetts Association of 766 Approved Schools. "The state sets our tuition rate below our costs, so as a result 64 percent of our members operate at a deficit, which was $23 million in fiscal 2015." 

When students have special needs that a public school can't meet, they are put in out-of-district placements at private schools that are licensed under Chapter 766. The public school districts are responsible for paying to send the students to the specialized schools, and the costs of fully serving a child with a severe disability are often significant. Tuition at a Chapter 766 school can range from around $38,000 for a day program, to more than $320,000 for a residential program, varying depending on the child's specific needs."

"A former Tri-County student accused of threatening to "shoot up" the school had a charge against him dropped Wednesday. 

During a short hearing in Wrentham District Court, prosecutors said they would be moving to dismiss a "bomb or hijack threat with serious public alarm" charge against the student, Julius Willis. Judge Emogene Johnson Smith ordered a future hearing for April 10. 

Willis, 18, of 504 Ellis Road in North Attleborough, still faces charges of disturbing a school, resisting arrest, threatening to commit a crime and disorderly conduct."

What a marked difference for a community meeting

The School Committee meeting on Tuesday had almost as many in the audience as the Town Council did in their last meeting. It was an eventful meeting but more emotionally moving for good reasons.

Two young ladies, seniors at Franklin High School were recognized with the Superintendents Award for being in the Top 1% of their class.

(Left to right) Supt. M Sabolinski, H Frank, M Wendell, Sch Comm Chair P Mullen

This was followed by a presentation on the special education program. Beth Fitzmaurice was joined by Stephanie Gedis, Dillon Scarnicki, and Sara Mulcahey in making the presentation. Dillon was supported by most of the Franklin Boys Hockey team which he is part of. He showed a brief video clip of his first goal scored!

community participating in the School Committee meeting

Fitzmaurice acknowledged that there can be a feeling of isolation for a parent of a special education student, in that there maybe no one to help. In Franklin, there is a community to provide support. The town has been amazing supporting us. 

What a marked difference in community presence and meeting conduct. 

The School Committee did get into some hard discussions around the capital budget (top priorities outlined here) and on the 2015-16 calendar (the school marking periods and parent meetings still need to be added to this draft). One section of a policy is being retired as it is outdated and covered by other business practices and legal requirements.

Of not, there will likely be a future discussion about the school starting time. Given some studies about high schoolers starting so early and recent weather events where extra time in the morning would make a difference for the safety of all involved with the schools, there is work underway to see if that could be done. Stay tuned as this will be a topic for a future meeting.

The enxt meeting this month will also be held at the Franklin High School. Details on specific location within remained to be announced.

767 - serviced in main stream classrooms
81 - sub-separate serviced within district but not mainstreamed in the classrooms
68 - out of district serviced

extremely fortunate to be resourced as they are

par for the course, most of the students and families are happy with the service
some due go to litigate but that is a private peice that is not fair to the students and families involved

student achievement is on the rise, it is very exciting
if you have to do it, you might as well get something out of it

O'Malley - this is the best sporting performance where a team (or most of it) shows up to support you Dillon

Rohrbach - thank you, this was a great presentation tonight. It shows how important the parent parnters are. The out of district expenses are very much asn issue, but you do a great job in managing those out of district tuitions.

Fitzmaurice - about $5 of the total school budget is for out of district tuition; are able to manage some of the students to return to service within the district. We are careful before sending a student outside. They go because that is the best place for them to get those specific services and the decision is not taken lightly. We try to make things work here.

Rohrbach - we have been very innovative to provide the students the opportunity to stay here

Jewell - tonight is one of the most emotional nights I have had sitting in this role. The next man up is a good philosophy. This team can go to the state becuase it is a team effort, a lot of average players are playing above because they are playing encouraged by the others. I can tell you how well I feel tonight.

Trahan - this is an amazing night, thank you. We are a community in this town!

Mullen - I have heard several presentations over the years, this was the best.

"The better we can work together, the better results we have"

The Milford Daily News writes about the sometimes contentious discussion about an Individual Education Plan (IEP) for special education students.

Haberman said parents "are very aware of the difficult financial times districts are under," but also want to ensure students are receiving services outlined in an IEP or are needed. 

She said the litigious nature of special education disputes can lead to a breakdown of trust between both sides. 

Haberman emphasized disputes are almost always with school administration rather than teachers and staff actually providing the services. 

Beth Fitzmaurice, Franklin’s special education director, said staff encourage parents to sit and talk with them multiple times before rejecting an IEP and often, both parties are able to come to a resolution without a rejection.

"looking to improve service and trim expenses"

The Milford Daily News has a long article on the trend and effects of increasing costs for special education.

One of the top drivers of special education funding is out-of-district tuition – tuition costs associated with students that need to be sent to other private or public specialty programs to meet their needs. 

Administrators say costs for day programs can cost as much as $100,000 per student annually, while a residential placement can cost as much as $350,000 annually. Since districts by law are required to educate special education students until they either graduate or turn 22, one or two extremely high-need children can add a strain on a budget for years, while planning is difficult because a new high-need child can move into a district at any time. 

State funding "does bring funds back to the district, but not commensurate with the increase of private, collaborative, and public tuition and transportation costs," Milford Superintendent Robert Tremblay wrote in an email.

This is also a significant factor for the Franklin school budget and has been for many years. Franklin has taken steps to increase their capability to provide special education services to as many of their students within the district as possible.

Franklin Superintendent Maureen Sabolinski said special education costs in Franklin actually declined by $200,000 this year. 

"The strength of our in-district programs and our commitment to co-teaching has enabled our educators to be successful in meeting the needs of students," she wrote in an email.

Is Mental Health Addressed?

 

 

Did you know that May is Mental Health Awareness month? It coincides with the time of year when students across the country are busy taking state exams, AP tests and preparing for final exams. Our team is hitting the road, asking people far and wide what educational changes we can all make that best support the mental health of our children.
 


Earlier this week we visited New Jersey, talking to schools that are collaborating across districts to adopt policies that support thriving students. From limits on homework and APs, to later start times and student-driven curriculum, we're seeing a mindset shift around the way we are raising and educating our children. These conversations prove it.
 


And today, we're engaging stakeholders in higher education with a screening of "Race to Nowhere" for Harvard University's Health Services. Colleges across the country, including the Ivy Leagues, are seeing the long-term effects of the way students are being pushed and "packaged." We are thrilled to be a part of Harvard's work to spread the "Race to Nowhere" message and to remind students that they are more than just a test score or letter grade on a report card.
 


You can make a difference too. Take a moment to think about how your school has--or has not--addressed the mental health of students and share your stories and work to foster conversation with us! Take a first step by using "Race to Nowhere" and the Companion Book to begin your community's conversation about student well-being. Learn more about bringing the film to your community or home today by visiting our website or replying to this email.

Then pay it forward by sharing or acquiring the film for a friend, teacher or school administrator and help grow the conversation and movement.
 


Together we can champion a more balanced, healthy learning experience for every child.
 


Thank you,

Vicki Abeles and the "Race to Nowhere" team
