Providing accurate and timely information about what matters in Franklin, MA since 2007. * Working in collaboration with Franklin TV and Radio (wfpr.fm) since October 2019 *
As you may recall, the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 contains a provision that , effective July 1, 2011, required School Districts that participate in the National School Lunch Program to ensure that schools are providing the same level of support for lunches served to students who are not eligible for free or reduced price lunches (i.e., paid lunches) as they are for lunches served to students eligible for free lunches.
As a result, School Districts must compare the average price charged for lunches served to students not eligible for free or reduced price lunches to the difference between the higher Federal reimbursement provided for free lunches and the lower Federal reimbursement provided for paid lunches.
After completing this comparison, the increase required in our lunch pricing amounts to $.10 cents.
Elementary = $2.30
Middle School = $2.75
High School = $3.00
Premium meal (grades 6-12) = additional 50 cents
Breakfast = $1.80
Adult meal = $3.85
Reduced price lunch = $.40
Milk = $.50

Summer is here, and for cyclists, it’s time to get ready to ride. Cyclists love Massachusetts because of the beautiful scenery and variety of terrain available across the state.
If you’re new to Massachusetts or to cycling, you’re in luck. The Commonwealth has plenty of great trails and paths to ride.

a. School Lunch Price Increase – Miriam Goodmanrequired to recalculate every year, proposing an increase of 10 cents across the board, as well as a premium meal increase of 50 cents (optional)
b. Student Technology Insurance Revolving Account – Miriam GoodmanLooking to establish a revolving account with the new 1:1 initiative at the high school to cover the new chromebooks. $25 per year, for coverage of accidental damage or theft. If not, then the cost to replace the device would be $300. Any expenses from the fund would coverage the insurance, repairs, etc. They already have a lost book revolving account which would cover the lost scenarios.

I did want to share our Free Little Library, pictured below. It's an Amish-made cranberry box. We put books in it for people to take, and people come by and leave theirs. We've seen all types of books, from poetry to murder mysteries to classic lit -- and today's gem: the Supreme Court Reporter from 1939.
There's lots about the organization here: http://littlefreelibrary.org/ and people can search for boxes all over the world using their locator.
