If there is one thing that is abundantly clear in the FY08 budget process, it as that Franklin is not alone. The Boston Globe has launched a website to provide coverage of Prop 21/2 override campaigns in more than 30 communities in Greater Boston, including Franklin. The site is updated daily by the Globe staff. You can view the site by clicking here. The site is affectionately known as Override Central.

FY08 Budget materials available
Posted by Jeffrey Roy on April 4, 2007
FY08 budget materials are available online. You can access those materials by clicking here, which will take you to the Superintendent’s budget page. There, you can view an Executive Summary of the budget, a list of budget cuts from previous years, proposed cuts for FY08, student enrollments for the past 10 years, and a long range projection of student enrollment trends. In addition, you can see how Franklin performs in comparison to the state average in budget categories by viewing data compiled by the Department of Education.
