This session of the radio show shares my conversation with Franklin Public Schools Superintendent Sara Ahern. We had our conversation via conference bridge to adhere to the ‘social distancing’ requirements of this pandemic period.

We talk about 

• FY 2023 budget overall/timeline
• Multiple central office and district positions open, hiring in process
• Equity audit - report due approx. May 2022
• Critical conversations - March 24 (will update to include the link to recording when available)
• DECA, cheerleaders, winter sports performance overall, spring starting practices

The recording runs about 39 minutes, so let’s listen to my conversation with Sara
