Recap: School Committee hears options for finding their next superintendent

Quick Recap:

• The School Committee met in a workshop prior to their regular meeting on Tuesday, Feb 8, 2022 to discuss the basics around finding a replacement for Superintendent Sara Ahern who is leaving at the end of the school year
• Tracy Novick, Field Director for the district from the MASC provided her insights on the process and options and answered questions along the way
• Short story - the School Committee if they think they have an internal candidate, they can schedule for a regular meeting, a discussion item laying out that such a discussion, and decision may be reached. If the internal candidate is willing, they can proceed to negotiations and settle. If the candidate is not desiring the role, the Committee can then move to a search. 
• The search can be done internally with a consultant or search firm. Either way approx. 3 months is usually needed to do it properly. Cost for a search consultant or firm can start at about $10.5K and go up from their depending upon the menu of options chosen
• Stay tuned to this, the Committee needs to move quickly as the district is required to have a certified/qualified superintendent to operate. If the process is not completed in time, an interim superintendent would be needed to cover until a search is completed

Recording should be available within a couple of days

https://www.franklinps.net/sites/g/files/vyhlif4431/f/events/scagenda_2-8-22_workshop.pdf

• Live reporting underway for the School Committee superintendent search meeting tonight #schcomss0208 Tracy Novick here  (yay!) to lead the overview representing MASC on this key topic
• If you are transparent, say what you want and then do it, that works; problems arise when you don't follow through #schcomss0208 the public needs to follow along without getting surprised
• Districts having a bench is a good thing, about 1/3 of hires are from within, rather than going for a search. #schcomss0208 public process of hiring, posted agenda, quorum of committee, them up to the committee to do so;
• If you are transparent, say what you want and then do it, that works; problems arise when you don't follow through #schcomss0208 the public needs to follow along without getting surprised
• Underway about 15 which may not be all of them; #schcomss0208 no dwindling of applications for open positions, some in central admin didn't jump last year, some are this year. Position here wouldn't see the competition other open spots have, geographic/size district etc.
• There are ways to expedite a search (i.e. have some one do the prescreen and provide final candidates) MASC does that, but not why they are here tonight. #schcomss0208 a search firm will staff the detail work, confirming requirements, profile, application process, etc.
• Search firm can be a firm fee or a menu of items, can range from $10,500 and up... #schcomss0208 brought timeline could be 3 months for a regular search process. If search is not done in time, then an interim is required as one is needed
• Community needs to be part of the search process or at least be comfortable with the candidate selected #schcomss0208 waivers tend to come up from a retiree returning
• Even if an internal candidate is available, then it can be a consideration to be part of the search process to ensure getting "the" best candidate. #schcomss0208
• Q on other community examples? would need to check with her colleagues, she is unfortunately blanking at the moment. #schcomss0208 if there is a strong internal candidate, it will be "known" and some applicants will know also and not apply
• Consultant would provide the sorted listing of candidates to the subcommittee in executive session for review and discussion to select the 'semifinalists'; when the search comm comes to finalists then it becomes a public process #schcomss0208
• Search committee can conduct the discussion/whittling in a posted executive session meeting. #schcomss0208
• Meeting about to adjourn

Both FHS girls and boys basketball teams post wins vs. Taunton on Tuesday

Via HockomockSports.com, we share the results of the FHS winter sports action on Tuesday:

Girls Basketball = Franklin, 59 @ Taunton, 33 – Final 

– Taunton was tied with Franklin late in the third quarter, but the Panthers, playing their third game in three days, caught fire in the fourth quarter, outscoring the Tigers 26-5 in the final period, to pull out the win. With the victory, Franklin clinches at least a share of the Kelley-Rex division title. Katie Peterson, Olivia Quinn, and Brigid Earley each scored seven points in the fourth to propel Franklin to the win. Peterson led all scorers with 17, while Quinn finished with 16 and Earley had 11. Stefany Padula added 10 points on three triples in the win. Kameron St. Pierre was Taunton’s top scorer with 16 points. Olivia Gannon chipped in with six points and Cali Melo had four.

Boys Basketball = Taunton, 48 @ Franklin, 77 – Final  
Ryan Lanigan, founder and Editor-in-Chief of HockomockSports.com provides the game recap:

"The Franklin boys basketball team sent a message loud and clear to the rest of the Hockomock League and Division 1 on Tuesday night. 

The Panthers are a serious contender. 

Behind a near flawless opening three quarters, Franklin handed Taunton its first league loss of the season, and did so in emphatic fashion with a 77-48 win. 

Franklin hit from deep early, which opened things up for the Panthers to successfully attack the basket, and the offense clicked on all cylinders the rest of the way. The hosts connected on 10 of their 11 three-pointers in the first three quarters and shot just under 70% from two-point range, carving up the Tiger’s defense."

2022 DOER Proposed Building Code Updates - slide deck

"BAKER ADMINISTRATION officials unveiled a slide deck on Tuesday that outlines in broad strokes how they intend to use updates to two existing state building codes and the development of a third more restrictive code to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions coming from newly constructed commercial and residential buildings.

The new building codes are scheduled to take effect next year after a public comment period and regulatory hearings. It’s expected new construction regulated by the building codes over the next 27 years will account for 27 percent of all building space by 2050, when state law requires Massachusetts to reach net zero emissions."
