Dr. Decker walked trustees through the updated marks for each school and said the district collaborated with a design firm and school principals to preserve historical elements where desired while bringing visual uniformity. \"We really in working with Metal 5 and, of course, the schools and especially the principals, we tried to keep in mind that there are histories behind these logos,\" Dr. Decker said during the presentation.

The presentation showed side-by-side comparisons for each school, noting that some schools retained much of their previous marks while others were substantially reimagined. Examples cited included a refreshed tiger for Johnson, an updated cubby for Franklin Elementary and a cleaner circle-with-mascot treatment for several schools. Staff said the new marks can be used with optional tags that indicate elementary or middle levels when desired.

Board members asked for questions; the item was informational. Staff said principals participated in logo choices and that individual schools would retain elements of their histories within the new design system.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","FSD School Board Meeting - May 2025","oneSentenceSummary","District leaders presented a brand refresh that updates individual school logos while creating a consistent, district-wide visual system; the board heard that schools provided input and that logos retain school identities.","taxTitle","Franklin SSD, School Districts, Tennessee","taxId",38747,"location","Tennessee","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6059808,"Special Olympics honors Franklin SSD as a districtwide Unified Champion Schools partner",238,552000,790000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3293610-93ece784f777d4896c58b466296ff45e&start=552&end=790","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3293610-93ece784f777d4896c58b466296ff45e/thumbnail_552000.jpg","/articles/6059808/Tennessee/Special-Olympics-honors-Franklin-SSD-as-a-districtwide-Unified-Champion-Schools-partner","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6059808-9475c546be1647c17d3dc675588cbe09/orig.mp4?Expires=1770416847&Signature=Lj8lpDQfPg1nn2LisaxY~H8-rqrjG2IJLJlLZeABhhOzgeizNxOEInaCL1~WzW4RUQiiDeeO3iDKsBdOszX1tnhgrEQb~hVeEDN-mAyqhB~Pnb-BvyKXCPG58v1Wc6BQnPPta378AXeBmLviihOFgZ1kYjLPBYboth7-TOZi3enjPVvihqxr2c56gCEFqdlKVEAlCnY~Lz3U3TunSd7orSsSTJ5yKvNYS4jIWXv1DJE9BPuEDpSNYGsoFjaIbP2oTnI6qhGZbVNklGwDYwGRWDn9sSjfbhRghZsK6xQP1MijMCveAR0bMf~LVujrgsAvrX9qcbLg824UiqaK7u2r1Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Special Olympics representatives presented the Franklin Special School District with a districtwide Unified Champion Schools (UCS) designation and discussed the program's goals and research on its effects on school climate.

\"We are so excited that Franklin special district is 1 of 3 districts in the state of Tennessee that is a district wide unified champion school district,\" Beth Tigard, vice president of Unified Champion Schools for Special Olympics Tennessee, told the board as she described the program's three components: unified sports, inclusive youth leadership and whole-school engagement. Tigard said national evaluations show UCS improves social inclusion, reduces bullying and can have positive correlations with graduation rates for students with and without intellectual disabilities.

Tigard presented a plaque recognizing the district's designation and encouraged continued districtwide implementation so students experience inclusive school climates from early grades onward. Doctor Snowden accepted the plaque and thanked district administrators and faculty for prioritizing inclusion.

The Special Olympics representative said the district-level implementation aims to create continuity of inclusive practices across pre-K through high school; no formal board vote was required for the presentation.","Special Olympics representatives presented Franklin Special School District with a districtwide Unified Champion Schools designation and discussed research showing improved social inclusion and related academic outcomes.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6059814,"Franklin SSD board discusses potential sale to 1 Gen Away; no written offer yet",454,1447000,1901000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3293610-93ece784f777d4896c58b466296ff45e&start=1447&end=1901","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3293610-93ece784f777d4896c58b466296ff45e/thumbnail_1447000.jpg","/articles/6059814/Tennessee/Franklin-SSD-board-discusses-potential-sale-to-1-Gen-Away-no-written-offer-yet","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6059814-5b5cb3a2bb618198b59cdf135f63ef5b/orig.mp4?Expires=1770416847&Signature=YcmNJ-asAhON2QXORq4Kg3WapjpvANhldGISe-hMw6biNlbj2Dc7VOg1v-aYyujYUkww2agoGYG-P-eSJ7W4VtFrzqXRJeEsO1x9qqFOj0MhccGP5jwOCeWv4BTEkw4-nIK~VsMj4qYQdEzKdDV64Qujz45FuxeLl42DkQcdiPUJysm8MYvmdAgQJF7KSqjqav1IBMiB1-l65NHD~-879hqOHYTVSKZWIsqF4Q5PSbRRwBZ~7Uwz4Zvm1ZhsOshsQTBJkUWDQtaETjVHYWSpvEhaG7qaDCB-~kH98wgJQTwnH90zyI4ZLYKFrfGqwK9yPXXLsxNw-gVIZgma1xdxpg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Board members of the Franklin Special School District discussed a potential purchase and partnership with 1 Gen Away but said no formal written offer was on the table at the time of the meeting.

Tim Stillings, a board member who has been part of the district real estate committee, said the district had discussed possible ways to strengthen a relationship with 1 Gen Away and that those conversations were still at a theoretical stage. \"Let's give Chris a little more time to, work through details on his end about any, potential for, projects to work on together. But in essence, we are waiting for a, an offer, a formal offer. An offer to purchase real estate is in writing,\" Stillings said.

Board members also discussed a reported fundraising figure and timeline. A board member said representatives of 1 Gen Away had indicated they had been fundraising to finalize a purchase, including an amount of $225,000 mentioned during the discussion; district staff said there was internal discussion at 1 Gen Away and no finalized contract had been provided to the board.

District administrators raised a site-security concern specific to Franklin Elementary. Doctor Eslinger and other staff noted that a sidewalk crossing the back of Franklin Elementary's campus would be opposed by the district because of security concerns. \"We would adamantly be opposed to a sidewalk,\" a district leader said, adding that the district could not block the city's approvals but would register opposition to a sidewalk across campus.

Board members said that if 1 Gen Away submits a written offer and related proposals for partnership work, the board would place the item on a future agenda for action. No motion or vote occurred on the property during the meeting.","Board members discussed a proposal from 1 Gen Away to acquire district property; trustees said 1 Gen Away's representatives have expressed intent to buy but the district is waiting for a formal written offer and clarified concerns about a planned sidewalk crossing Franklin Elementary's campus.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6059817,"Franklin SSD approves first reading to add Introduction to Aerospace to advanced-course policy",70,1939000,2009000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3293610-93ece784f777d4896c58b466296ff45e&start=1939&end=2009","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3293610-93ece784f777d4896c58b466296ff45e/thumbnail_1939000.jpg","/articles/6059817/Tennessee/Franklin-SSD-approves-first-reading-to-add-Introduction-to-Aerospace-to-advanced-course-policy","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6059817-793c595d68356dfb275e1da5b0354370/orig.mp4?Expires=1770416847&Signature=aUezbkHETlpipl4zRrGavJJinwVHoiTiXXW-DpZol9OaGI6Ro82EDr2~iIJyqNv0NjZdsk2VWr1KTGPP5~kwG0WPhz7TwGefM4XjmlGRSmGnFO0gybv2QTW-0QUq9GtdUZ5bkP0tPTLk8NiI~8nIktykrdFi1rK9OPha~uAdDqdJiUbVQHC2YBFW6Y5ryWkpm6nXHYGez~GeLg6tDwcF4GY~jWx~ke-a-ilFGqV1t6Kb8DXW4Tz9Vlpc8B2VLtu3~woPwgxYeP8muGSSrpqR3VP98ulxr4NOP5ehWQRgKNNLwZ-stt5SvcdnfRGhA~mKdrtk4HR1TriPEDYd-Ya8KA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Franklin Special School District Board of Education approved a first reading to revise Policy 4.2205 to add Introduction to Aerospace to the district's advanced-course listings and to clarify the district's wait-list procedures.

The change adds Introduction to Aerospace on the high-school course list and clarifies that the wait list language does not apply to seventh-grade Algebra 1. \"We recommend approval of the first reading,\" Doctor Snowden, director of schools, told the board before members voted to approve the item as a first reading.

District staff said students who complete Introduction to Aerospace will be eligible to take Aviation 1 next school year. Students now in eighth grade who complete the introductory course will return in the morning to Freedom Middle School to take Aviation 1 with Mr. Dollar and then be transported by bus to either Franklin or Centennial High School for part of the program. Staff and a news segment shown at the meeting said the curriculum uses flight simulators; students will earn high-school credit and log hours that may be applied toward a pilot's license.

\"We don't want them to be afraid of flying. We want them to understand, the safety aspect of it,\" Mr. Dollar said during the presentation about the course's emphasis on safety and procedure. A short video from a local news report was shown during the update.

The change to Policy 4.2205 was presented as a first reading; the board did not record a named mover or vote tally on the public transcript beyond the board's approval of the first reading. The written policy revision notes the new course on page 5 and the clarified wait-list language on page 3, item 13.

District staff said further implementation details — including enrollment caps, transportation logistics, and scheduling — will be finalized before full adoption and rollout of Aviation 1 next school year.","The Franklin Special School District board approved a first reading to revise Policy 4.2205, adding Introduction to Aerospace to the district's advanced-course listings and clarifying wait-list rules; Aviation 1 high-school credit and simulator hours were discussed.","actionData","errors"]
