Summary
Director of Schools Dr. Snowden updated the Franklin SSD board on recent events — including an FIS choir performance under Miss Candace Adams — staff presentations at the Learning Forward conference and plans for a January 10 board retreat; members discussed scheduling with Williamson County and legislators.
Director of Schools Dr. Snowden delivered the district update, highlighting recent and upcoming events and professional development. She noted the district’s FIS choir performed Dec. 5 under the direction of Miss Candace Adams and praised staff who presented at the Learning Forward conference, including Drs. Decker, Looney and Weimer on tier 1 instruction and Dr. Whitley on technology for student success.
Dr. Decker, who also spoke during the meeting, said it was “just wonderful being able to represent the FSD” and thanked the board for support. Dr. Snowden asked the board for topics to add to the upcoming board retreat planned for Jan. 10 and said the district is coordinating timing with Williamson County so the schedule does not conflict with that county’s legislators’ meeting.
Board members discussed that morning sessions tend to draw better attendance from legislators; Dr. Snowden said staff will follow up with county contacts to confirm arrangements. The director also announced the TSBA legal and legislative conference in February and the annual TSBA conference in March in Louisville, Kentucky.
No formal actions were taken on these items during the meeting.
