FM #1228 - Comprehensive School Facility Plng Mtg - 06/05/24

Franklin Matters Radio

This session shares the Comprehensive School Facility Planning Subcommittee meeting of Wednesday, June 5, 2024. Subcommittee Chair Dave Callaghan, Al Charles (remote), Erin Gallagher, Supt Lucas Giguere, Asst Supt Dr Tina Rogers, Asst Supt Paula Marano, Business Administrator Dr Bob Dutch, Food Service Director Colin Boisvert, and Facilities Director Mike D’Angelo participated.

Review of the Phase I planning for June was provided. Progress on the timeline is being made with announcements coming before the end of this school year.

Preliminary data shared to highlight the juggling being done to help determine the best alignment for equity in enrollment for the new schools, distribution of the students for demographic and other factors. The redistrict line remains to be determined and that proposal will likely be shared in advance of a school committee vote to approve that alignment in Sept/Oct.

The administrative teams for the new schools (principals, assistant principals, etc.) will be announced in advance of the final alignment so they can be involved in the next level of planning. Architect and landscape designers are being engaged to review the bus loops on the facilities for possible improvements to the traffic flow.

The meeting recording runs about 55 minutes.
