"Though not quite ready to break ground, Benjamin Franklin Classical Charter Public School will be leaving its Main Street location for a more spacious area at 100 Financial Park, previously the address of Putnam Investments.
Head of School Heather Zolnowski said the school will be built from scratch, and plans to open for the 2019–2020 school year.
The school opened in 1995 as one of the first charter schools in Massachusetts. The building was used as St. Mary’s Catholic School for decades in the mid-to-late 1900s. In 1995, it became the school it is today, but the building remains under ownership of the archdiocese of Boston.
Zolnowski said that though the archdiocese has been accommodating when it comes to after-school activities, having exclusive use of the new building will be a plus."

The Benjamin Franklin Classical Charter Public School's mission is to assist parents in their role as primary educators of their children by providing students with a classical academic education coupled with sound character development and community service. Our mission is supported by four distinct, yet interconnected pillars that provide for a collaborative, rigorous education for all students. These pillars guide, direct and define the school in all it does.

"The Franklin boys basketball team had little trouble finding its defensive identity this season, which is a big reason why the Panthers have won six of their first seven games.
The search for an identity on the offensive end, however, has taken a little bit longer. But the Panthers seemed to find the balance they need in a 72-60 win over Taunton on Tuesday night.
The Panthers exploded for 27 points in the third quarter, turning what was just an eight-point lead into a comfortable 20-point cushion with just eight minutes left.
“I think we were just more aggressive and shared the ball,” said Franklin head coach CJ Neely. “When we play aggressive and guys look to attack the paint, and then when they get in there and make good decisions that can be the difference."Continue reading the game recap ->

"The 2018 statewide primary elections will be held Tuesday, Sept. 4, the day after Labor Day, and Secretary of State William Galvin has asked legislative leaders to pay for a five-day early voting period leading up to the primaries.
The date of the state primary is usually settled without much discussion or public attention, but this year Galvin was required by law to move the primary to an earlier date in September due to a conflict with a Jewish religious holiday. His choice, Sept. 4, is the earliest possible date Galvin could have set for the elections.
Galvin’s office said his determination came after consultation with House Speaker Robert DeLeo and Acting Senate President Harriette Chandler, and that it comes with a request that the Legislature pay for cities and towns to hold five days of voting before the Sept. 4 primaries.
“Given the interest we are already seeing in the primaries and the successful implementation of early voting in the 2016 State Election, I believe offering early voting for the State Primaries would provide a greater opportunity for voter participation,” Galvin said in a statement Tuesday morning."
"The (Medway) school district is seeking public input this week on its upcoming budget, moving up a forum so community input could be better integrated into the process.
The School Committee will host the forum at 6 p.m. Thursday at the Town Hall. The event will be followed by the committee’s regular meeting at 7 p.m.
Superintendent Armand Pires said that though the forum is a yearly occurrence, it usually takes place when the budget is more fully formed. This year, the committee opted to convene the meeting earlier, allowing more leeway for resident suggestions to be taken into account.
″(The committee) is interested in hearing from parents and community members - identifying priorities in the budget process and having an open dialogue,” he said. “Typically, when this conversation is held, we’re further along in the process.”
