Country Gazette FRANKLIN — The holiday break for Franklin public school students may have come to an end, but rumors have been swirling that their plans to party or visit others out of state haven't, said Franklin Superintendent of Schools Sara Ahern at a School Committee meeting this week. 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. As a result of that indoor Halloween house party, which up to 50 high school students attended, Franklin High School's transition to hybrid learning was halted for two weeks.
