In accordance with 333 CMR 13.04 (7) (a & b), please consider this as notification of the pending aerial application targeting mosquito larvae in the wetlands in the District.

The Norfolk County Mosquito Control District will be conducting helicopter applications of the biorational larvicide Bti (Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis) to control mosquito larvae.

These applications will be conducted for 2 to 4 days, anytime between April 16, 2019, and April 26, 2019. As always, the weather in the spring is unpredictable. For this reason the District cannot pin down actual application dates with any more accuracy at this time.

Norfolk County Mosquito Control District - Arial application begins April 16

“The process was a thoughtful but very difficult one”

From the Milford Daily News, articles of interest for Franklin:

"Superintendent of Schools Sara Ahern is proposing that the School Committee trim its proposed fiscal 2020 budget by about $2.3 million, achieving that in part by eliminating 13 teachers. 

“This was a very difficult task, given the direct relationship of the School Department’s budget to a student’s classroom experience,” she wrote in a letter to the committee outlining the recommended cuts. 

The superintendent cited a budget forecast from the town as the reason for the need to cut from the School Committee’s budget proposal."
