Franklin Central, formerly Delaware Literary Institute This March, it will be two years since New York State instituted the Gap Elimination Adjustment which cut two billion dollars from state aid to public schools. Every school in the state got their aid reduced, but some much more than others. Some think the state did this not simply to balance the budget, but to pressure small, rural schools like ours to consolidate into bigger, though not better, schools. Who this benefits is a puzzle.

If FCS consolidated with another school, our school taxes would go up, not down. Businesses in town would be hurt, the teachers would scatter and the students would spend even more time on a school bus than they do now. The personal and business fallout would be disastrous. Our children would go to school in someone else’s town, they would be taught by someone else’s teachers.

That is why supporters of FCS formed the Franklin Community Educational Foundation, to make sure that Franklin Central School not only stays in Franklin, but that it gets better and better.

No one knows better what Franklin Central School means to the community than the people who have lived here or have been a part of the school over the years. You may not live in Franklin any more, but Franklin lives in you — its values, its people, and its memories. Let’s work together to keep them alive for the generations to come.

Thank You, Franklin!

Your Save Our School letter writing campaign helped influence State Legislators by making them aware of how the Gap Elimination Adjustment is unfair to small, rural schools.

You matched the monthly “Certificate of Excellence” scholarship award sponsored by Tom Morgan & Erna Morgan McReynolds. Eight $100 certificates were presented to FCS students in the past school year.

You sponsored student Field Trips to the American Museum of Natural History in New York City for 40 students, to the Gilboa Dam, to the State Capitol in Albany and to the MOST Museum in Syracuse.

You helped send the FCS Forensics Team to compete in Philadelphia.

You created a “Benevolent Fund” to provide students in need with financial support so they can participate in field trips, buy school supplies and take college credit courses.

You’ve donated happily to the Coins For Kids collection boxes in local businesses.

You’ve contributed to a program that gives free backpacks packed with school supplies to students in need.

You’ve helped support a twice monthly after-school program for kids.

You raised over $5,000 this year alone, helping all FCS students compete on an equal footing with big city schools.

Imagine what you’ll do next year!
