The Franklin County Community School Corporation board on June 9 approved a slate of personnel actions, handbook updates and a classified wage increase and heard a public plea to protect federal funding for school meal programs.
The board unanimously approved the consent agenda covering amendments, expenditures and resignations and then voted to confirm new hires, extracurricular coaches and staff. On policy items, trustees approved 2025 student and academic handbook changes, a revision to the 2025–26 school calendar that adds three waiver/professional-development days for teachers, and a revised support-staff handbook.
