Council appropriates state teacher-bonus funds for Franklin schools
Summary
Council approved Resolution 2025-81 to appropriate state FY2025 carryforward funds to Franklin Public Schools in FY2026 for teacher bonuses; manager said teachers have already received bonuses and the city is accepting state reimbursement.
Franklin City Council on Oct. 27 approved a resolution to appropriate state-provided carryforward funds for FY2026 so Franklin Public Schools can receive reimbursement for teacher bonuses.
The city manager explained the funds were authorized under state code as a carryforward from the FY2025 state budget to the city’s FY2026 budget. He said teachers have already received the bonuses and the city is accepting the state payment to the school system to cover those amounts.
Council moved and seconded acceptance of the appropriation and approved the measure by voice vote. The manager said that once accepted and appropriated, school officials will complete the process of issuing or reconciling bonuses to staff as appropriate.
The record did not include a detailed breakdown of the total appropriation or individual school allocations; the manager indicated the appropriation aligns with state authorization and will be routed through the school system.
