FM #963 - 964 = This is the Franklin Matters radio show, number 963 - 964 in the series.
This session shares the Franklin, MA School Committee meeting held on Tuesday, March 21, 2023. The meeting was conducted in the Council Chambers with all seven members present.
School Committee Chair Denise Spencer opens the meeting at 7:02 PM.
Key items on the agenda
Recognition of several FHS students
Parmenter Elementary update & presentation
Superintendent's recommended budget for FY 2024
The show notes contain a link to the full agenda and to my notes & photos captured via Twitter during the meeting.
The Committee entered Executive Session on a negotiation discussion and did return to public meeting. I did not capture that portion of the meeting.
The recording runs about three hours, thirty four minutes, so let’s listen to the Franklin School Committee on March 21, 2023.
I split the audio into two sections
#963 - Part 1 - covers the opening of meeting, FHS student recognitions, Parmenter presentation (less the musical audio segment - approx 5 minutes), and then the closing of the meeting after the budget presentation (net of 1 hour and 25 minutes)
#964 - Part 2 - the entirety of the budget presentation (2 hours)

Ryan Martin has a great profile of Tyler Morrill:
"You’re in the championship. With the gold medal on the line, the score is tied. As the clock winds down the few seconds it has left, your teammate zips a pass in your direction. You nail the shot as the buzzer sounds, sending everyone into a frenzy: You are a champion.The narrative has been dreamed of and practiced by countless kids on turf fields, ice rinks, and courts around the world. For Franklin’s Tyler Morrill, the moment came to fruition last June as he was a part of the Franklin Unified Basketball Team. Morrill’s buzzer-beater in the Special Olympics final crowned Franklin the Gold medalists.“I was so confident I was going to make that shot!” Morrill said, grinning."
