Franklin Public Schools: Updated Information about Schools March 8, 2018 PM
Thursday, March 8, 2018
PM Update
Good evening, Franklin Families, Faculty, and Staff,
Earlier today, ten of our eleven schools were without power as a result of last night's storm. Some power has been restored, but many schools are still without it. We have been communicating closely with National Grid and the DPW, Facilities, Police, and Fire Departments throughout today to remain informed of power restoration activities within Franklin.
We are concerned about the widespread power outages at our schools and within neighborhoods, however restoration efforts are under way and will continue through the evening. Any decision that may be made to close schools tomorrow will be made between 5:00 and 5:30 AM.
Stay warm and safe. More information will be sent in the early morning hours.
Sincerely,
Franklin Public Schools
