Good Morning,
I hope you are all weathering the storm. As DPW is using resources and efforts to keep our roads open so we affirm the decision to close school on Wednesday.
School parking lots and walkways will be plowed on Wednesday. Also Facilities will assess the roof tops on each school. Although the snow is not heavy there is a lot of it. We are taking every safety precaution.
We anticipate school will reopen on Thursday morning as planned.
Please be aware that sidewalks will not be plowed until the end of the week. We will implement emergency transportation for those student who do not take a bus or who are normally driven to school.
Students who walk to school daily will be picked up at regular bus stops. Bus routes are posted on the web site in Transportation folder. Scroll to Departments, scroll down to Transportation and click on bus routes.
No school activities or community programs until Thursday.
Municipal Building Closed until Thursday.
All school offices closed.
Thank you

Hi Steve,
I wanted to share something with you that occurred this morning.
The Franklin Matters web site advertised discount CPR last year. I signed my musician husband up as we have 3 young children.
Well, this morning at his morning basketball game it came in extremely useful. A gentleman suffered a heart attack and my husband was able to perform compressions while someone got the AED, another called 911, while others helped with respirations, etc.
As a group, they likely saved his life (very hopefully). He had a stent placed within an hour of the event.
I just wanted to share with you. Though we had discussed him getting CPR training, we never signed up until your site simplified it for us.
Here's to counting our blessings!
Best, Jen and Hans Morrison

Tax season is upon us, and that can mean stress for Massachusetts residents and workers who don’t have the documents they need to file returns and payments by the April 15, 2015 deadline.
While the Department of Revenue (DOR) encourages online filing of Massachusetts state income taxes withWebFile for Income, you can make filing a paper return as easy as possible by having the right forms and information at your fingertips.
WebFile for Income is only available to full-year residents. Part-year residents and non-residents can file electronically using commercial software or a professional tax preparer.
