Franklin School Levy May Postpone December Closings
About 150 residents gathered as Franklin High faces possible December closings if the 7 mill operating levy fails on November 7. Without levy approval the district would seek a state loan and risk receivership with possible state controls and bus reductions. Supporters urged citizens to back the levy to avoid shutdowns and preserve schools for future growth.

Franklin Education Association applauds the school board for possibly closing schools if local funds fail. President James Vanderpool says the district faced a difficult, viable alternative to borrowing and debt. He places responsibility for funding on Franklin voters, citing a need for new local money as state aid remains distant.
