Good afternoon,
As part of the Integrated Monitoring Review process, the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education's Office of Public School Monitoring recommended updates to our school handbooks. In response, we have revised the Code of Conduct and Support section (Section II) to include additional language clarifying discipline processes and procedures. These updates address suspension protocols, disciplinary measures for students with disabilities, and alternative remedies to suspensions. The School Committee approved the revised handbooks on November 26, 2024. The link to the school handbooks is here: https://www.franklinps.net/o/fpsd/page/school-handbooks.
If you have any questions, please reach out to your building administrators.
