A light meeting week with schools out on break, rest up now for the busy week of April 28

For the week after Easter with schools on break and Patriot’s Day Monday, this a very light week for Town/School meetings. 


However, the week after this break will be a busy one with 3 Finance Committee budget hearings, along with the School Committee & Town Council meetings, Planning Board. and Conservation holding their regularly scheduled meetings.


If anyone has any questions about the line item details on the FY 2026 budget, these three Finance Committee budget hearings (4/28, 4/29, & 5/1) are the time to do so.   


Prior year experience indicates that the General government departments/line items will be on one night, the schools (Franklin, Tri-County, Norfolk Aggie) on one night and the third night covers public safety (Police, Fire & Dispatch) as well as Public Works both operational and enterprise accounts (water, sewer, solid waste, & storm water). Exactly which night will come out when the agendas are posted.


We know through the Schools, that they’ll be on April 28, which of the other two will slot where, we’ll find out when the agendas come out by Friday, April 25.
