School Committee votes to approve redistricting plan effective Sep 2025 (video)
The Franklin School Committee met as scheduled on Tuesday, Oct 8, 2024. 6 members were present (O'Sullivan not present).
I joined approx 8:15 PM via YouTube and then in person as I came in from the debate in Medway. The Committee was still discussing the proposed redistricting plan and boundary line.
Brief summary:
- The Committee did vote 6-0 to approve the redistricting plan.
- The Committee did vote to amend the recommendation on inclusion of the former DT students/Families in an exception, then tabled the full motion (as amended) to the next meeting. They are looking to clarify that the expansion does cover the 9 students mentioned.

SAFE Coalition shares series of teen Questions & Answers for Mental Health Awareness Month
"In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, every day we will post a question from a local teen that was submitted to us over the last month. We can answer questions without shame; the world of recovery and support is endless!
Check back in daily for questions and answers!“How do I help someone who is struggling when I am struggling too?”You can be supportive without trying to fix their problems. Empathy goes a long way. Supporting each other can also be really positive and give us a sense of purpose, as long as we set healthy boundaries & expectations about how much we can help others when we need to help ourselves. To help each other, you can engage in healthy activities such as exercise, mindfulness, and volunteering."

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:
If you have an event to add to the calendar, you can use the form to submit it for publication: https://bit.ly/Submit2Calendar
The Town meeting calendar is found https://www.franklinma.gov/calendar
