Good Afternoon Franklin Families, We had a non-credible written threat on the girl's bathroom wall at the middle school this afternoon. The Franklin Police Department responded and worked with the administration to quickly identify the student involved. Appropriate consequences and interventions are being administered. I will reach out and let you know when we select a date for our rescheduled Safety Forum that has been postponed tonight due to the winter weather. Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions. Sincerely, Dan LeGallo SAU 18 Superintendent dlegallo@gm.sau18.org (603) 266-9833

Good morning Franklin Families, Due to the forecasted winter storm, we are canceling all after school activities today in the Franklin School District. This includes the scheduled Safety Forum this evening at the middle school. The Safety Forum will be rescheduled at a later date to be determined.

Good Evening Franklin Families: The heating pipe has been repaired at the Franklin Middle School and we are all set to re-open school tomorrow for students and staff. We appreciate you cooperation while we mitigated this situation. Sincerely, Daniel LeGallo S.A.U. 18 Superintendent

Dear Franklin Families, There will be no school at the Franklin Middle School tomorrow due to a leaking pipe in the heating system that needs to be replaced. The repair requires us to shut down the school for the day because we will have no water or heat in the building. Students are asked to complete assignments that are being sent home by their teachers with the students this afternoon. The elementary school and high school will have normal operations at their respective schools. I expect the repair to be completed tomorrow and the middle school to reopen on Friday. Sincerely, Dan LeGallo SAU 18 Superintendent dlegallo@gm.sau18.org

Good Evening – This is a message from the Superintendents Office at S.A.U. 18. There will be no school in Franklin Tomorrow. District and School Offices will also be closed. Again no school tomorrow for the Franklin School District.

Good Evening Franklin Families, I am reaching out to answer some questions I have received regarding the written threats in the middle school girl's bathrooms. . In regard to what we have been doing , we have initiated student sign in and sign out procedures to log all student usage of bathrooms in each wing. Additionally we have been conducting "random and frequent" sweeps of the bathrooms to check for any threats. Bathrooms will be closed during "passing time" between classes to prevent groups of students from using the bathrooms until further notice. Using these procedures we were able to intervene quickly with a written threat at the beginning of the day this morning without having any further disruption to the school. Please know that any student(s) complicit in these threats will be severely disciplined. I would like to thank the parents who reached out to me over the last several days to share their concerns and their proposed solutions. I appreciate the support. Sincerely, Dan LeGallo SAU 18 Superintendent dlegallo@gm.sau18.org

Reported Covid for Week ending 12/9 PSS -1 staff & 1 student ; 2 total. FMS-5 students; FHS -0. Grand total 7

We continue to investigate these incidents with the full cooperation of the Franklin Police Department. Sincerely, Dan LeGallo SAU 18 Superintendent dlegallo@gm.sau18.org
