Franklin Public Schools: Rumors/ Pediculosis
A message from FRANKLIN PUBLIC SCHOOL DISTRICT
Good Morning:
It has come to our attention that there are a number of rumors circulating on social media that there has been an outbreak of pediculosis. Comments cite an epidemic of lice (pediculosis) in our schools that has gone unchecked. Please be assured that if the facts had any credibility we would communicate to our parents/guardians.
As of this morning school health officials report there are no active cases of lice. From the start of the school year there were two reported cases - and only one at the elementary level. Both Cases were effectively treated medically and we can report no recurrence.
We are not sure what motivated the circulation of these rumors but be assured there is no epidemic. We take public health concerns seriously and our protocols and practices are aligned with the Department of Public Health regulations and guidelines.
Thank You

Franklin News from the Twitterverse
How teachers set up their classroom is part of the 'hidden' curriculum. I know this to be true for one K Teacher I am close to. Now I find that others approach the classroom in the same way.

Artificial turf is still in the news here and there. Crumb rubber still being objected to but no major inroads being made, yet. This article talks of one county in Virginia that is trying organic infill.

You can play football even if you can can't hear the whistles. Two Franklin kids could use your help to fund their playing time.
Being mindful of hidden curriculum. http://t.co/DjbfNgWr3Z #YourEdustory #middleschool @WildemanBrian @KYankeeDHS
