After a brief thank you, the Franklin School Board accepted, with regrets, the retirement of High School Principal Alice Rogers Farris Tuesday night.
Farris came to Franklin High School at the beginning of the 2007-2008 school year and previous to that served as a member of the Hill School Board. She taught French at the Winnisquam Regional High School.
In her two years as principal, Farris brought Freshman Academy — a program designed to ease student transition from middle to high school — to Franklin but was also the subject of controversy when she was placed on administrative leave this past September.
I wish her well.
Now all we need is those minutes...
Something is'nt right here. First, the principal goes on administrative leave. Then, she is back but there are no answers for the parents of students attending the High School. Minutes from the school board meeting that were to be released to the public are non-exsistent. Now the principal is retiring. If it looks like a duck. Walks like a duck. Its a duck. The citizens of Franklin should be outraged. "Scotty, BEAM ME UP!"
