The Franklin Board of Education met Dec. 29, 2025, approved its agenda and consent items, set meeting dates for January and February 2026, took action on a matter discussed in closed session and adjourned at 10:31 a.m.
The presiding officer opened the meeting, confirmed it had been properly posted and led the Pledge of Allegiance. During roll call the transcript records Mrs. Larson, Mrs. Yang, Mrs. Zipperzke and Mr. Sprague as present; Dr. Khan and Mrs. Witkowski were excused.
The board first approved the meeting agenda. According to the transcript the motion was made by Mrs. Yang and seconded by Dr. Beere; a voice vote was taken and the motion carried. The consent agenda was then approved after a motion recorded in the transcript as moved by Mrs. Zipperzke and seconded by Mrs. Yang; that motion also passed on a voice vote.
Board members also approved the calendar for upcoming meetings. The transcript records a motion to adopt the calendar moved by Mrs. Sapersky and seconded by Dr. Beier. The roll-call-style sequence in the record shows votes of “Aye” from Mr. Sprague, Mrs. Yang, Mrs. Zipperzke, Mrs. Larson and the presiding officer; the calendar motion carried.
