  1. Just curious, what were the vote totals from the previous override elections? What made the difference? And what is the demographic make-up of Precint #3?

    I am very happy that my daughter who in entering kindegarten this upcoming September will now be in a class of 20 rather than 27.

  2. It is indeed a good thing that the override passed, had it not, it would have been a dark day for Franklin.

    Precinct 3 is one of the older sections of the central downtown area and heavily elderly.

    As for previous results, the Country Gazette had a good table last week but I did not find that in their online version. The best info I know of was found on the School Committee blog here:

    My wife teaches kindergarten and she would agree that 20 will be better than 27 in September!
