FM #1691 - SchCmte Community Relations Subcmte Mtg - 03/16/26

This session shares the Franklin, MA School Committee Community Relations Subcommittee meeting held on Monday, March 16, 2026.

The meeting agenda had placed the session in the 3rd floor conf room so I was there. Chair Al Charles, member Nadia Mausolf and Operations Director Colin Boisvert were remote. Member Stephen Karunakaran was caught in another meeting and didn’t make it. Future meetings are intended to be virtual unless otherwise noted.

The agenda topics:

● Website Usage Metrics

● Quarterly Community Engagement Update

● Senior Center Visit / Monthly Q&A Session

● Strawberry Stroll Planning

● Newsletter Planning

The recording runs about 44 minutes, so let’s listen to the Community Relations Subcommittee meeting of March 16, 2026.
