Franklin Together
The challenges facing our town and school district affect us all. People from all walks of life come to Franklin not just for the education of their children but also for what a strong school system brings to a town: parks and open spaces, arts and culture, an educated and engaged population, and of course robust property values. In addition to an historically venerated school system, Franklin has an exceptional fire department, police force, department of public works, recreation department, library, and more.
Expenses have continued to outpace revenues for the past several years, leading to a structural deficit (see explanation here). If we do not pass an override this spring, Franklin will likely face significant layoffs and cuts to services across the board.
Let's support those who support us, and
vote YES to an override to preserve and invest in Franklin on June 3, 2025
What is One Franklin 2025?
We are a ballot question committee working to pass an operational override for Franklin, MA in support of our Fire, Public School, Police, Senior Center, Library, DPW and other critical staff and services we value.
We are a 100% volunteer campaign with supporters across Franklin, driven by a shared conviction that strategic investments are necessary to protect the town we love from budget cuts so deep that they threaten to change who we are. We stand united in support of our police, firefighters, teachers, library workers, DPW workers and others whose work forms the foundation of what makes Franklin a great place for families to thrive.
