“The demand for higher education is not rising like it was”
From the Boston Globe Sunday edition, an article on the effects of declining enrollment for small colleges.

"Joseph Chillo has a luxurious office in a beautiful building with a view of a leafy neighborhood in this wealthy town. But while his perch may look idyllic, his job is not.
As the leader of Newbury College, a small, struggling, liberal arts college where enrollment has declined 86 percent over the past 20 years, he has a lot of sleepless nights.
Chillo worries about a lot of things: Will next fall’s crop of students materialize, will there be enough financial aid, which majors should be cut, how much will the school get for a building it is selling, and will that be enough to close a 10 percent budget deficit."

April vacation destination in our backyard: The Brown Sisters photos
As we enter April, a school vacation is coming up and perhaps you're looking for something to do. If you have ever been caught by the Brown Sisters photos, you can see them at the ICA in Boston through Apr 22.
Nicholas Nixon is the photographer for the 40+ year series of the photos of his wife and her three sisters. More about Nicholas and his work follows:

Nicholas Nixon is the photographer for the 40+ year series of the photos of his wife and her three sisters. More about Nicholas and his work follows:
"As an exhibition title, “Nicholas Nixon: Persistence of Vision” is almost self-explanatory. The show runs at the Institute of Contemporary Art through April 22.
Nixon needs no introduction around here. For many years, he’s been one of the starriest names in what has long been a very starry photography faculty at Massachusetts College of Art and Design. And since his inclusion in the ground-breaking 1975 exhibition “New Topographics: Photographs of a Man-Altered Landscape,” Nixon has had a national, and eventually international, reputation for decades.
So the Nicholas Nixon part of the title is clear enough. Ditto “persistence.” Nixon turned 70 in October, and the show’s 112 black-and-white images start in 1974 and extend to this year. In fact, there are two or three photographs for each year. The sole exception is 2017, which has just one image: the latest iteration of Nixon’s most famous body of work, “The Brown Sisters.” The series consists of an annual group portrait of Nixon’s wife and three sisters-in-law."

School Committee recap - March 27, 2018
The formal budget hearing for the Fiscal Year 2019 (FY 19) school budget was the primary topic on Tuesday night. The proposed budget was tweaked slightly to bring it into balance by using $900,000+ in additional funds from the schools revolving accounts.
The budget totals to be appropriated as well as the total offset via the use of the revolving account funds can be seen here for FY 18 and FY 19:
Background on the variety and fund balances for the many revolving accounts can be found here
http://franklindistrict.vt-s.net/Pages/FranklinDistrict_budget/23.%20Revolving%20Accounts.pdf
Additional info on the budget including the breakdown by school and across the district by department can be found here
http://franklindistrict.vt-s.net/Pages/FranklinDistrict_budget/index
Aside from the items on the "consent agenda", there were two votes recorded. One to approve to continue the practice of not accepting school choice students. The second vote was to accept the Committee meeting calendar for the 2018-2019 school year.
My notes recorded live during the meeting can be found here:

What is Franklin's most majestic tree?
This is the time of year, post snow, just before the trees bud and fill out with their leaf cover to really view a tree. They are amazing in their structure.

In the News: FHS students advocate for Tobacco21; more info on Acrylamide
"One group of Franklin High School girls is a leading youth voice in state government’s decision to raise the tobacco age to 21.
The pending Tobacco21 bill would raise the legal age to purchase tobacco products to 21, an issue that a group of Franklin students has been lobbying for since last year. Currently, about 180 municipalities across Massachusetts have already made this change. The legislation will force all 351 cities and towns on board.
The students returned to the Statehouse again on Wednesday, but with a much more active role. They filmed and showed a video of their testimonies, before a formal ceremony in front of a large audience at the bottom of the grand staircase in the Statehouse.
Advocates, legislators, senators, and others gathered to hear the Franklin High Students plead their case for this bill."

"Trouble is brewing for coffee lovers in California, where a judge ruled that sellers must post scary warnings about cancer risks. But how frightened should we be of a daily cup of joe? Not very, some scientists and available evidence seem to suggest.
Scientific concerns about coffee have eased in recent years, and many studies even suggest it can help health.
“At the minimum, coffee is neutral. If anything, there is fairly good evidence of the benefit of coffee on cancer,” said Dr. Edward Giovannucci, a nutrition expert at the Harvard School of Public Health.
The World Health Organization’s cancer agency moved coffee off the “possible carcinogen” list two years ago, though it says evidence is insufficient to rule out any possible role."Continue reading the article online (subscription may be required)

Tri-County Carpentry Students Build Oak Podiums for the Seekonk Police Department
Two oak podiums were delivered to the Seekonk Public Safety Communications building by students in the Carpentry program at Tri-County Regional Vocational Technical High School. The collaborative project involved other Tri-County vocational program students including Engineering Technology and Advanced Manufacturing. The students used their fine skills in designing and building the podiums with the help of Engineering students. Then, they were challenged to program a CNC router, in conjunction with advanced manufacturing students, in order to design the town of Seekonk logo in wood. The Municipal project gave carpentry students valuable hands-on experience in reinforcing their existing skills while working with new technology.
“The Tri-County School District would like to thank the town of Seekonk for providing our students with such a rich and authentic project, said Jean George, Vocational Director. “Our Carpentry students collaborated with students from Engineering Technology to create a set of plans using the AutoCad software. Once the design was ready, it was time to build the podium. As a finishing touch, the Town of Seekonk Seal was created using the skills of the Advanced Manufacturing students as they created the code to draw an exact replica of the seal. Those students guided Carpentry students in using the CNC router to complete the emblem. That is what we call STEM - Thank you again Town of Seekonk.”
Municipal projects give students in Tri-County’s Career Programs valuable hands-on experience in their industry. To learn more, visit: www.tri-county.us.

Tri-County Students Attend Girls in Trades Conference
Thirteen Tri-County students in grades 10, 11 and 12 from the carpentry, metal fabrication, electrical, and HVAC and R programs attended the 2018 Massachusetts Girls in Trades Conference and Career Fair at the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) Local 103, Dorchester, MA.
The event was attended by over 500 young women from 27 vocational high schools throughout eastern Massachusetts along with Lt. Governor Karen Polito.
The conference is intended to support and encourage female career and technical education students and alumni to pursue careers in the skilled trades. Tri-County students engaged in learning about apprenticeship training programs, met tradeswomen working in the field, and learned how they, as high school girls in trades programs, can leverage the increase in building projects and seek opportunities for high-paying careers in the construction industry.
Building Trades Unions, Apprenticeships, Contractors and Community Organizations who were part of Girls in Trades Massachusetts Conference and Career Fair shared information with students in anticipating that many of them will come and join them after graduation.
