A message from FRANKLIN PUBLIC SCHOOL DISTRICT

Good Evening- At this point we have been advised the severe aspects of the storm are over. All school facilities have power and we anticipate all schools will open on Tuesday. However, this status could change and we will  continue to consult with Public Safety and Facilities personnel through the night. We do not have information on the status of roads If our status changes we will send out a message between 5:30 and 6:00 am.  We understand that some homes may not have power and that there are trees and power lines down in several neighborhoods.  If school is open and you feel you do not want to send your children to school we respect your decision as parents/guardians. Storm related absences will be excused. Thank You and Stay Safe, Maureen  This e-mail has been sent to you by FRANKLIN PUBLIC SCHOOL DISTRICT.
