"The School Committee will decide at its next meeting whether to allow school choice students into the district.
The matter was raised at the most recent committee meeting, with Superintendent Maureen Sabolinski noting that it had been some time since the schools have accepted such students.
"We haven't taken school choice students since 2006-2007," she said, noting that seven students accepted at that time currently attend Franklin High School."
"Years after the initial running of the "Dean Dash," organizers believe the 5-kilometer event has become the campus tradition they'd hoped it would be.
The fourth annual race - scheduled to take place at Dean Hall at noon on April 8 - is expected to draw between 200 and 250 runners, said college Recreation Director Carlos Aguilera.
"It started in 2014," he said. "We were thinking of traditions that the school might call its own. I was always a runner myself, so I suggested a 5K."
Aguilera said he thought the intent - to establish a new tradition - has been met; on student surveys, he said, the dash is often mentioned as a positive event."

"The second annual "Party for the Pantry" concert, set for this Friday night, will look to once again raise thousands of dollars for the Franklin Food Pantry.
The concert - featuring the bands Karate Show, The Abe Froman Project, Charity Case and South Street Six - will start at 7 p.m. at the Black Box Theater, mere steps from the pantry.
Bill Donovan, one of the organizers, said he got the idea for "Party for the Pantry" during another charitable event. He said he approached co-organizer Ray Auger, who had set up that event, about hosting something to benefit the Franklin community. He said since the people involved were musicians, it made sense to put on a concert.
"Most, if not all, the bands have current or former Franklin residents," he said.
