FM #1052 - Chalkboard Chat - #02 with Dave Callaghan - 08/29/23

This session of the radio show shares my recorded conversation with Franklin School Committee member Dave Callaghan. We had our conversation via Zoom on Tuesday, August 29, 2023. 

Our primary topic was a recap of the School Committee meeting held on Tuesday, Aug 22. 

We touched on hiring status, competitive salaries negotiated with the teachers union, handbook approvals, use of artificial intelligence (AI), communication guidelines, please drive safely with schools in session, buses, bikes and walkers will be on the way to school.

The recording runs about 35 minutes so let’s listen to my “chalkboard chat” with Dave Callaghan.
