This session shares my conversation with School Committee Chairperson Dave Callaghan. This is a new episode of our continuing “Chalkboard Chat” series. We had our discussion in person at the Franklin TV & Radio Studio on Wednesday, October 9, 2024. 

We cover 

• Redistricting draft alignment of schools as approved at the 10/08/24 meeting
• The implementation work that now begins in earnest
• The budget work continues with Joint Budget Subcommittee Oct 23

The recording runs about 38 minutes, so let’s listen in.
