Board approves agenda, consent items, new courses and preliminary policy changes; waives tuition for one family
Summary
At its Nov. 11 meeting the Franklin Public School District board approved the meeting agenda, a consent agenda, several new courses and department pathways, gave preliminary approval to student‑policy changes, and extended a nine‑week tuition waiver for a family; no contested roll‑call tallies were recorded in the transcript.
The Franklin Public School District Board of Education convened Nov. 11 and approved a series of routine and substantive items.
The board approved the meeting agenda (motion by missus Witkowski; second by doctor Khan) and later approved the consent agenda (motion by missus Zipperski; second by missus Yank). The board approved new elective courses for the 2026–27 school year (Accounting 3, Calculus 3, Ceramics 3, Modern Band, Photography 3 and Video Game Design) on a motion by doctor Beers, seconded by missus Zipperski.
Trustees also approved updates to department pathways, including additions in English, computer science, music and social studies (the social studies pathway additions include pre‑AP World History, AP World History, "Modern Introduction to Law," "Early Empires and Myths" and other elective offerings). Missus Siberski moved preliminary approval of the student policy packet (5000 series), which the board approved as preliminary; the board and staff noted those policies are preliminary and will receive a full review in February prior to final adoption.
On a separate personnel/benefit item, the board extended an attached nine‑week tuition waiver for the 2025‑26 school year for a family in transition (presented by doctor Bennett; motion by doctor Beers; seconded by missus Zipperski) and approved the extension.
Meeting minutes and the full board packet in BoardDocs contain complete wording of motions and supporting materials. The transcript records that each motion was made, seconded and that the board voted “Aye” with “Motion carries,” but vote tallies by member name and numeric counts are not listed in the transcript.
