The summer holidays are coming to an end, and for all of the teachers, faculty and staff throughout the Franklin County School System, that means beginning to get to work on the upcoming school year. But before the teachers go back to working in their classrooms, the Franklin County Board of Education held a board meeting last Tuesday to discuss some personnel moves that would come into play for the upcoming school year.
