Franklin SSD highlights record ELPA gains, summer meals and learning programs
Summary
District leaders reported record English-language proficiency gains, no retention for rising grades this year, and outlined summer learning, meal and enrichment program schedules.
Franklin SSD leaders on Monday reported strong student outcomes for the 2024–25 school year and outlined an expanded schedule of summer learning and meal programs.
The director of schools told the Board of Education that no students were retained for next year in the grade-level promotions reported this year and that English-language learners showed record gains on the ELPA (English Language Proficiency Assessment), with the district roughly doubling its four-year success rate for those students.
The report also summarized summer offerings: Summer Learning Camp and Young Scholars Institute are underway; a mobile library story bus will be at local Kroger locations on specified days; Johnson Elementary School playground hours and summer meal times were given (breakfast 8–8:30 a.m., lunch 12–12:30 p.m., Monday–Friday through July); and partnerships will provide meals through the Franklin-Williamson County Boys & Girls Club and the Franklin Housing Authority.
Administrators highlighted awards and recognition, including a National School Communications Award for district staff involved in a strategic branding campaign. The district also announced leadership retreats, required drug-free workplace training and professional learning dates for administrators and teachers ahead of the 2025–26 school year.
Board members and administrators encouraged community attendance at summer events and noted the benefits of smaller class sizes and added programming in Young Scholars and summer camps.
