"It was heart breaking to see at the new building."
Recognition of the students from Franklin High School who were selected for All State Music Festival.
There was a good deal of time also spent with highlights on the math program being implemented at Davis Thayer. Students, faculty and administration coordinated to make the presentation. The presentation document is embedded here:
The FHS broken water pipe situation can be summarized with information combined from the School Committee meeting on Tuesday and the Town Council meeting on Wednesday. FHS Building Committee Chair Tom Mercer provided the update to the Council on Wednesday.
As announced on Monday as the students were to return to FHS, there had been a 'little water' situation at the high school over the school vacation. Superintendent Maureen Sabolinski provided an update to the School Committee. There was a meeting on Tuesday with all the relevant folks from the building contractors. This apparently was a known situation, an item on the 'punch list' that has been unresolved since the building opened.
The section of the building near the principals office has not been able to be heated properly. The deep cold that Franklin experienced on Presidents Day resulted in some broken water pipes and a lot of water damage.
The restoration is underway. The principal's office is the major area affected and hence it really doesn't hinder any of the instructional processes in the building. The clean up was handled, the painting and new walls are underway. When the office will be ready for use is not known.
The fix both short term and longer term is not a cost for the taxpayers as this was the result of the open 'punch list' item.
"It was heart breaking to see (this occur) at the new building."
On my walk around Franklin on Saturday, Feb 26, I was able to capture this photo through the window of the principal's office.
