Upgrades at Franklin will begin this summer and continue through the summer of 2023. This summer, the school will receive new door hardware, carpet, and paint, as well as renovations to the space that will house the school’s new SmartLab. Installation of new unit ventilation systems will also begin and continue into the school year. In the spring of 2023, construction will begin on a new office addition on the west side of the building that will include a secure vestibule.

With approval of the Citizens Bond Oversight committee, bond proceeds will be used to construct a 1,500 square foot office addition to Franklin Middle School. This addition will provide much-needed office space for counselors, office staff and administrators, as well as create a safe and security entry. A general contractor for the project will be hired this month. In addition, Franklin will receive a SmartLab, new paint and flooring and other renovations during the summer of 2022.
