Several weeks ago, the School Committee requested an opportunity to speak directly with the Franklin Education Association (FEA) membership at its meeting on April 28. We did not get that opportunity.
Through the two video segments below, the Franklin School Committee reaches out directly to the rank and file membership of the education union in this town. In these messages (which total approximately 14 minutes), the School Committee spells out the reasons underlying its request for wage concessions, and the need to maintain collaborative meeting times for principals and teachers. It is also an invitation to engage in further discussions to save teaching jobs and preserve Franklin as a high performing school district.
It is our sincere hope that the members will view this message and reach out to leadership and request that a resolution be forged immediately. As we state in the message, our door is open. We stand ready to talk with you or with your representatives at any time or place.
