This session of the radio show shares my recorded conversation with Franklin School Committee member Dave Callaghan. We had our conversation in the Franklin TV & Public Radio studio on Monday, October 16, 2023. 

Our primary topic was a recap of the School Committee meeting held on Tuesday, Sep 12.  We covered 

• ECDC school improvement plan
• Joint Budget Committee meeting
• Tri-County election Oct 24 & Franklin Election Nov 7

The recording runs about 31 minutes so let’s listen to my “chalkboard chat” with Dave Callaghan.
