Good evening Franklin Families, I am reaching out regarding the tragedy that impacted our community yesterday. We grieve for the family and are grateful that the student involved is out of the hospital and recovering. We are coordinating with the Disaster Behavioral Health Response Team at the state level to prepare for our return to school tomorrow morning. We will have counseling staff available to help students and staff at all 3 schools who need assistance. Please feel free to reach out to the schools if you anticipate any specific needs for your student/s. I am also available as always to answer questions and provide any needed resources or support. Sincerely, Dan LeGallo SAU 18 Superintendent dlegallo@gm.sau18.org
