Summary

The school committee approved the consent agenda (minutes, an $800 PCC donation, and student activity accounts) and voted to enter executive session under Chapter 30A §21(a)(3) to discuss bargaining with multiple employee units.

The Franklin School Committee approved its consent agenda after a motion from Speaker 9 and a second from Speaker 2; the chair called for ayes and declared the motion passed. The consent agenda included approval of September minutes, acceptance of $800 from the Lincoln Street PCC for field trips, and approval of student activity club accounts.

Later the chair cited Massachusetts General Law chapter 30A, §21(a)(3) to justify adjourning to executive session to discuss collective bargaining strategy for several units (FDA, van drivers, cafeteria, ESP, LPN and secretarial units). Speaker 9 moved to enter executive session; Speaker 2 seconded; the committee voted aye and adjourned to executive session without returning to open meeting.

No formal roll-call tally by name was recorded in the public transcript for either vote; the chair announced each motion as passed after voice vote.
