School Committee Policy Manual
It is the hope of the Franklin School Committee that this collection of policies and regulations will make greater harmony and efficiency possible in all areas of school operations. This will enable the committee to devote more time to its primary duty — the development of long-range policies and planning for the future of the school system.
As the start of school approaches, the Franklin School Committee has addressed revisions to some of the policies they have established as well as student handbook language. The School Committee recognizes that there may be additional policies requiring temporary revisions. Disclaimer: These policy addenda shall remain in effect during the state of emergency declared by the Governor in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic and shall expire upon the expiration of said state of emergency unless earlier terminated or extended by vote of the School Committee. The Superintendent, principal, or other relevant official shall document any suspension or revision of a School Committee policy under these addenda, and any such suspension or revision is subject to review and approval of the School Committee at its discretion.
