Franklin County Technical School

Voters in Franklin County, Massachusetts, have approved funding for a new technical school building. At the same time, an effort to combine two regional school districts fell short.

On Tuesday, Oct. 6, residents in 19 Western Massachusetts towns will decide whether to fund a new home for the county’s vocational technical school.

“Waste not, want not.” That was the sentiment as dozens of households made their way to a special “fix-it” event in western Massachusetts over the weekend.
