Franklin Schools SAU #18

Power was restored at FHS at 11:24 am

A fallen tree on wires on Daniel Point/ Victory Drive required Eversource to shut down the power at FHS temporarily. They have assured us they will push to have our power restored within a half hour and would prefer students remain in the building/ on campus while they contend with the situation. FHS is continuing with classes at this time. We will continue to follow up as we get more information.

This means school arrival and start times will be 2 hours later than usual, and the bus arrival times will be two hours later than usual.
