Franklin Community School board schedules executive session to interview prospective employees

The Franklin Community School Corporation Board of School Trustees will meet in executive session on March 9, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. in the Franklin Community Middle School media center to "receive information about and interview prospective employees," the board's official notice says.

The notice cites state law — IC 5-14-1.5-6.1 — as the authority for closing the meeting to the public and reproduces the statutory checklist of permissible executive-session topics. The board marked two items relevant to this session: where authorized by statute and "To receive information about and interview prospective employees." The document lists the meeting location as Franklin Community Middle School, 625 Grizzly Cub Drive, Franklin, IN, and the meeting room as B225.

Executive sessions conducted under IC 5-14-1.5-6.1 are closed to the public; the notice includes procedural language clarifying the statutory limits on discussion topics and the conditions under which records or appointment-related information may be released. The board's formal notice reiterates that interviews of prospective appointees must be conducted at a meeting open to the public when an appointment is being made, consistent with the statutory checklist language reproduced in the notice.

The notice is signed by board officers listed as Becky Nelson, President; Debbie Gill, Vice President; Jennifer Mann, Secretary; Brett Jones, Member; and David Yount, Member. The document was filed as the Franklin Community School Corporation's official notice of the March 9 executive session.
