Oh my! omicron driving new record, again this week

COVID-19 case counts continue to be driven by the omicron variant. Last week's positivity was 8%, this week we are at 17.06%. Yup, more than doubled.

Yes, the chart doesn't look the same as last week for a rather significant reason: The Y axis scale has changed due to the rise in cases exceeding the prior view.  Last week's chart also show for comparison.

chart for week of 1/06/22 - note scale for Y axis vs for last week

chart for week of 12/30/21 - note the Y axis scale is less than 80

Franklin Public Schools is looking for substitute teachers - Is that a role for you?

"We are delighted that you are considering applying to become a substitute teacher.  

The work of our substitute teachers is an essential function to the smooth operation of our programs and we value that contribution. Without the support and dedication of our substitute teachers and staff, our educational program would be greatly hampered. 

We place the care of our students in their hands daily. Substitute teaching can be an ideal way to supplement your income while setting your own schedule.  Improve your classroom skills as you try out the different schools, grade levels and instructional practices. 

Ideally a teaching license and experience working with children is always preferred, however we will consider those applicants with a post high school education, a willingness to learn, compassion, energy and of course, a love for working with children.  

Please review the information below for an overview of our school system and the substitute teacher's role. 

Interested substitutes may apply by submitting a cover letter along with a resume to recruit@franklinps.net or stop by the HR Office to complete an application between the hours of 8 AM and 4 PM Monday through Friday."
