Currently 9 of 11 of our schools receive CEP funding allowing students to eat lunch at no cost. Last night, School Nutrition Director David Lightner presented to the Macon County Board of Commissioners. During his presentation, Mr. Lightner requested $200,000 in funding to support providing all students at Franklin High School and Highlands School lunch at no cost for the 2024-2025 school year. This would ensure that every student at FHS and Highlands receives a nutritious lunch at no cost, addressing our students basic needs and promoting their success both academically and personally. Following Mr. Lightner’s presentation, the Macon County Board of County Commissioners approved 3-2 to fulfill the request. We are beyond thankful for the support of our county commissioners as we move into the 2024-2025 school year! Thank you Mr. Lightner for the detailed information that was given during your presentation and for advocating for our students!
The required public hearing regarding funding for the Franklin High School construction project will take place tonight at 6:00pm in the Commissioners Boardroom, 5 West Main Street, Franklin. The Macon County Board of Education and the Macon County School System would appreciate your support!
