In the News: Roy seeks 4th term; school technology uses

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

"Now serving his sixth year on Beacon Hill, state Rep. Jeffrey Roy will seek a fourth term this fall. 

There’s more work ahead, without question, the Franklin Democrat, of the 10th Norfolk District, said in an interview Friday. 

“When I started in 2012, I was dedicated to education. I think that’s the most important thing that we do as a government and there is still a lot of work to be done in that area.” 

Roy currently serves on a national commission on student-centered learning, an initiative that brings lawmakers from across the country together to find ways to bring project-based and competency-based education into local classrooms."

"Students in Lorraine Magee’s third-grade class are pros at using technology. 

The class at Natick’s Johnson Elementary School has Skyped with students in other states and countries, tweeted favorite authors, shared pen pal letters with students in Uganda through Google Drive, sent cloud observations to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and an average Thursday morning had them solving a math challenge from students in Georgia. 

That’s the short list. 

“It’s cool because when we were in third grade, we could say, ‘Yeah, I do science experiments in class,’” Magee said. “But now (students can say), ‘Yeah, I do science experiments and send them to NASA."'

"we want to build a country that works for all of us”

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

"Wrentham resident Larry Grant chose to get personal when he stepped up to the microphone to quiz U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren on Saturday. 

He described his 30-year-old son, who has spent much of his life battling drug and alcohol addiction. 

He argued for more investment in helping people struggling to get sober, and suggested transforming Wrentham State School into a rehab facility. 

While Warren said she looks for guidance from local officials on the help they need, she highlighted the importance of cutting down on the prevalence of opioids and advancing alternative painkillers."

Franklin Police Pledge to IACP's ONE MIND Campaign

The Franklin Police Department is pleased to announce that they have pledged to take action in support of the International Association of Chiefs of Police’s One Mind Campaign, with the intent to unite local communities, public safety organizations, and mental health organizations in such a way that the three become “of one mind.”

The One Mind Campaign seeks to ensure successful interactions between police officers and persons with mental illness. To join the campaign, the department has committed to implementing four promising practices over a 12–36 month timeframe. These four strategies include (1) establishing a clearly defined and sustainable partnership with one or more community mental health organization(s), (2) developing and implementing a model policy addressing police response to persons affected by mental illness, (3) training and certifying 100 percent of the agency’s sworn officers (and selected nonsworn staff, such as dispatchers) in Mental Health First Aid for Public Safety, and (4) providing Crisis Intervention Team training to a minimum of 20 percent of the agency’s sworn officers.

Franklin Police Pledge to IACP's ONE MIND Campaign

"The Franklin Police Department is committed to training our officers to better serve all members of our community, especially those who struggle with the challenges of mental illness." said Chief of Police Thomas Lynch "We see the One Mind Campaign as an example of our mission, vision, and values statement. We will continue to look for innovative ways to bring our officers closer to the community, and build trust with all whom we are charged with protecting."

The Franklin Police Department acknowledges the need to recognize and address recent societal, cultural, and technological changes that impact law enforcement responses to persons with mental illness. The strategies that the department has pledged to adopt create a unique opportunity to form a partnership with mental health organizations in the community. The committed efforts of both law enforcement agencies and the mental health community to reduce officer and civilian fatalities and injuries resulting from encounters between law enforcement officials and persons with mental illness are of critical importance. Pledging to support the One Mind Campaign is the first step towards creating a safer community for all.

For more information on the One Mind Campaign visit http://www.theiacp.org/onemindcampaign. 

A copy of the full report, Improving Police Response to Persons Affected by Mental Illness, links to additional resources and a list of all agencies that have taken the pledge is also available on the website.
