Live reporting - Facilities
H. PRESENTATIONS/DISCUSSIONS
Mike D’Angelo, Richard Gaskins
overview of work order process for maintenance within all the Franklin buildings, including the schools
general submittal may take one or two days
Note - dial connection lost for remote participation of Councilor Mercer. He had commented earlier that if he lost connection again he would not re-dial to avoid the hassle for the group
normal easy work orders get approved right away and get into the queue for work. Others requiring more extensive work, or outside work require approval of a facility approval
usually 80-100 work orders open at any time
closing out the work order in a more timely manner; information to close not always readily available
also noting drive-by work is not always recorded
Pfeffer - request for ladders in all buildings?
Gaskins - all the faclities have ladders, an upgrade to better ladders is underway
Pfeffer - what about the roof leaks?
D'Angelo - leaks on single layer buildings are standard we do them all the time
Pfeffer - I am not going to keep you, I am the one complaining the most
there must be a better way to take care of these roofs and the lighting ballasts
Kelly - it could take one or two days to approve/
Gaskins - if it is a higher priority, they would generally call so it would not take that long
Jones - how often do you review the safety measures with the fire chief? I ask because some of the lights in Davis Thayer are non-functional
D'Angelo - we walk through the buildings with the Fire Dept in spring before the issuing of the occupancy permits. Most issues do not apply to us. Paper stacked in the wrong space. The principal would be working with their staff.
D'Angelo - if they are unlit they should be replaced via a work order
Jones - I'd like to know how quickly the issues on the Fire Dept listing get fixed.
D'Angelo - ours get fixed quickly
Gastins - I'd like to commend the custodians on their work, school got out late and they are working hard. It is still the same amount of work to be done

Survey says: school should start after Labor Day
Survey says, Franklin should start school after Labor Day. This is one of the key results from the survey conducted by the Franklin Public Schools in May/Jun this year. Twice the number of responses were received for the school calendar survey than were received when it was last conducted in 2008.
Other findings from the survey:
The full survey results will be shared with us later. I'll update this post as soon as they are available.
The modular units at Jefferson were taken down by the DPW already and the landscaping for where they were is already underway.
A new company will be handling some of the van service that had been covered by Franklin's participation in a collaborative. The School Dept will save approx.$80,000 and improve the service with this new company. Parents and students targeted to use this service will be invited to meet at Parmenter sometime later this summer to see the equipment and meet with the company drivers.
The full set of notes from the School Committee meeting reported live on Wednesday can be found here:
Other findings from the survey:
- keep the day before Thanksgiving as a no-school day
- schedule professional development days on Mondays and Fridays
- keep the Feb and April vacations however there are enough willing to look at a calendar that would just have a March vacation week
The full survey results will be shared with us later. I'll update this post as soon as they are available.

5. Information Matters
Superintendent’s Report
a busy summer, programs kicked off after July 4th
middle and high school summer programs successful
letter from a parent about "Math Camp" asking to consider running the camp for a longer period in the summer, the program has made a difference to the students
modular units at Jefferson are now gone
DPW working on the landscaping for the site where the units were
calendar survey has closed, interesting data
done a little different than last time
purposeful decision to avoid by parent vs staff, not conducive to the core values of the community
start after Labor Day may be coming next year, need to get out of the current high school hence the earlier start for this coming school year
next year due to the move into the new school, likely to start after Labor Day (2014)
10% more wanted the start after Labor Day
much more interest in the March vacation alternative than the last survey results
65% were interested in this type of calendar, should do the calendar 2 years out to allow for planning
no school the day before Thanksgiving, strong indication to keep this per survey
Scheduling of PDD to schedule those on Mon and Fri, 92% responded to this question, highest overall response
doubled the response this time over the last time, out for 6 weeks with multiple reminders via ConnectEd

- Van Pool Update
Sabolinski recapping service that had been provided by a vendor, looked for a new vendor to see if the service could be improved. Van Pool from Worcester area, looking to expand to the MetroWest area. Focused on service to students, the vans were in excellent shape, conducted due diligence, shared routes and currently evaluating that savings may be around $80,000 by going alone instead of using the prior service through the collaborative. Will be hosting a day at Parmenter to introduce the service to the parents, students to the new company and equipment being used. Some of the runs will be more efficient and effective than previously used. Should be off and running Aug 1 with new company and new contract.
Were paying an overhead that didn't cover the discount provided.
A student in a wheel chair was sent in a separate vehicle and incurring a separate charge previously. Now, the student will be combine with others going to the same place hence more efficient.

as of Apr 270 enrolled, 309 now, an increase of 39
births in the town are down significantly, lower birth rate over the next 5-6 years
anticipated not just here but elsewhere due to the economy
Jefferson grade 4 highest needs, Oak St grade 4 and others in this category

In Franklin, Senior Center Program Coordinator Sue Barbour said the center would stay open until 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday if the temperature stays in the 90s.
Hardware stores in the area were also feeling the effects of the heat, as air conditioners were flying off the shelves.
At Daddario Hardware and Supply in Franklin, owner Jack Daddario said there has been a very high demand for "any type of cooling device."

Alternative treatments for cancer are being explored
Ellmore’s story inspired Franklin native Paul DeGrazia, who has the same type of cancer and was diagnosed the same week, to seek out alternative treatments.
“We tried the traditional treatment, but they said it was inoperable and incurable and basically said they had a 10 percent chance of healing him,” Lynn DeGrazia said of her husband’s treatments.
For eight months, Paul received treatment at Dana Farber, but when the chemotherapy and radiation actually grew his tumor, closing up his esophagus and causing him to need a feeding tube, the family looked for other options.

"issues through a different lens"
Madalyn Becker, an FHS graduation now a junior studying at the Univ of Delaware, is on a volunteer trip to Morocco.

"In terms of my own experience I know that before I started my studies at (the University of Delaware), I knew relativity nothing about Islam or Muslim cultures," she wrote in a lengthy response to emailed questions. "What I knew was mostly from the media, which largely focuses on negative connotations. I think that this is not uncommon among a lot of Americans.
"This is not to say people are actively seeking to only see the bad in other people, but it takes some conscious effort to have an educated and understanding perspective."
College, as it often does for America’s youth, prompted her to rethink many of her prior misconceptions about Muslims. Still, beyond the lectures, she yearned for first-hand knowledge. "I think that even as a student who specializes in the area of international relations, there is often a gap between what we read and write and discuss in class and the reality of how people interact and view one another," she wrote. "I felt like this was the perfect opportunity to sort of fill in those gaps and cultivate a stronger foundation for my studies."
