The Milford Daily News FRANKLIN — Winter break for Franklin public school students has come to an end, but rumors have been swirling that for several weeks, their plans to party or visit others out of state hadn't, said Franklin Superintendent of Schools Sara Ahern at a School Committee meeting on Tuesday night. Ahern said rumors of house parties and families traveling out of state on weekends have been heard by the administration, similar to whispers heard after a widely attended party on Halloween last year. As a result of that indoor Halloween house party, in which up to 50 high school students attended, Franklin High School's transition to hybrid learning was halted for two weeks.
