Finance staff reported November sales tax collections rose 2.6% month-to-month and 4.4% year-to-year; Director of Schools previewed events including a Veterans Day parade and said a December meeting is tentative while a January 10 retreat is scheduled.
Franklin SSD's finance and administration office reported a small sales tax uptick and the director provided district scheduling and event updates.
Ed Eslinger, Finance and Administration, said November sales tax collections were up 2.6% from the prior month and up 4.4% from the prior year. "Let the Christmas shopping begin," he added lightheartedly during the report.
Director of Schools Dr. Snowden summarized recent and upcoming events: a "business meets education" event (Williams Incorporated) showcasing student opportunities, a Papa Grove Middle School choral performance at the event, and a new family open house on Oct. 23 that produced 61 family visits in total (counted from school attendance logs). He provided logistics for the Veterans Day Parade, saying the lineup will be about 10:30, and noted Thanksgiving break and a tentative December board meeting (dates not finalized). He also reminded the board of a scheduled board retreat for Jan. 10 and the TSBA annual convention taking place this weekend.
A board member praised the recent State of the Schools address and thanked staff for the work. With no further business, the presiding official dismissed the meeting.
