Summary
The board approved consent agenda items including ESL translation contracts, facilities repairs and a Children’s Institute agreement; it also approved December and January bills, and accepted a $100,000 YASP grant for career academies.
The Franklin Regional School Board on Jan. 12 approved its consent agenda, several personnel items, and lists of bills for December 2025 and January 2026.
Consent items included two annual contracts with the intermediate unit to support English-learner families: a TransPerfect translation portal ($500 annually) and a telephone-interpretation service ($120 annually). Facilities items approved included ratification of a CSNE contract to replace a ruptured expansion-tank bladder at the high school and approval to move forward with a TMR roof replacement project for the gym and athletic entrance—projected to be part of the 2026–27 capital plan and described as carrying a 25-year warranty and lifetime materials coverage for certain components.
The board also approved an agreement to place students at the Children's Institute when needed (students attending the institute remain Franklin Regional students and receive district transportation) and accepted a $100,000 YASP prize from the Center for Education Reform to support development of career academies.
Treasurer's reports and bills were presented and approved: December 2025 paid bills totaled $2,199,653.53 with unpaid bills of $963,798.03 (grand total including food services $3,373,091.58). January 2026 paid bills totaled $3,205,002.80 with unpaid bills $649,613.65 (grand total $3,854,616.45). Where items were routine or listed on the consent agenda, the board approved them by voice vote; the Act 1 resolution was the item taken by roll call.
