Franklin Township Board of Education meetings remaining in 2026
The Board’s Annual Notice lists regular business meetings in the Board Administrative Campus Multipurpose Room. The district also posts separate legal notices and meeting-specific agenda pages, so the annual schedule should be treated as the starting point rather than the final word if a later notice changes the time or location.
| Date | Meeting | Annual-notice time | Location |
|---|---|---|---|
| Oct. 27, 2026 | Regular Business Meeting | 6:30 p.m. | BAC Multipurpose Room |
| Nov. 19, 2026 | Regular Business Meeting | 6:30 p.m. | BAC Multipurpose Room |
| Dec. 17, 2026 | Regular Business Meeting | 6:30 p.m. | BAC Multipurpose Room |
| Jan. 5, 2027 | Reorganization Meeting | 7:30 p.m. | BAC Multipurpose Room |
6:30 or 7:30? The 2026 Annual Notice lists most regular business meetings at 6:30 p.m. The general Board page separately explains that a meeting may open before a confidential session and later return to public session. Before attending, check the meeting-specific agenda and newest legal notice rather than assuming the public-comment portion begins at the annual-notice time.
Why Franklin BOE legal notices matter before you attend
Franklin Township has already used later public notices to change meeting details in 2026. The regular July meeting, for example, was moved from July 30 to July 23, while July 30 was later used for a separate special meeting.
The district’s Legal Notices page also recorded a June time change and an October 1 special meeting at Franklin High School. These examples are why an old calendar screenshot should not be treated as the last word.
Check the annual schedule
Use it to identify the expected regular meeting date.
Check Legal Notices
Look for a newer date, time, location or special-meeting notice.
Open the agenda
Confirm the exact meeting and review what is scheduled for Board action.
Agenda, exhibits, minutes and video: use the right record
Franklin publishes different records for different stages of a meeting. An agenda shows planned business; exhibits provide supporting materials; approved minutes provide the written meeting record; and video can help you understand the discussion.
| Record | Best use | Timing |
|---|---|---|
| Agenda | See planned Board business before a meeting. | Check shortly before attending. |
| Exhibits | Review supporting documents attached to agenda items. | The district says exhibits open publicly two days before the BOE meeting. |
| Minutes | Check the formal written meeting record. | Use after the meeting and approval/posting process. |
| Video | Watch discussion and meeting context. | Use when the district has posted a recording. |
Use the 2026–27 agenda page
Current fall 2026 meetings are listed on the district’s 2026–27 BOE Agenda and Exhibits page.
Select the meeting date
Match the exact regular or special meeting instead of opening the first PDF that appears in search.
Use minutes for the final record
Do not treat a proposed agenda item as proof that the Board ultimately approved it.
Agenda information by phone: the Annual Notice says the public may contact the Board Secretary’s office at 732-873-2400 ext. 308 beginning at noon on the business day before a public meeting for agenda information.
What the Franklin Township Board of Education handles
The district describes the Board as a separate governmental unit within Franklin Township and an elected representative body for school matters. Its work includes setting and evaluating policy, establishing district goals, oversight and adopting the operating budget.
The Board does not run each school day by day. The Superintendent is responsible for district operations under Board policy, and the Board advises residents to begin specific concerns at the most direct staff level whenever possible.
Board-level issues
Policy, district goals, budget oversight, Board action and public meeting records.
School-level issues
Attendance, dismissal, teacher communication and same-day student matters usually start with the school.
District administration
The Superintendent and administrative team manage district operations within Board policy.
Student privacy: a public Board meeting is not the place to publish a student’s health details, discipline history, password, IEP information or other private education records. Contact the appropriate school or district office privately.

Franklin Township school calendar: district dates vs school events
The district Calendar page is the correct starting point for systemwide school-year planning. Individual school websites carry building-specific events, while athletic schedules are linked separately for Franklin High School and the middle-school program.
Districtwide calendar
Use the 2026–2027 School Year Calendar for holidays, district closures, minimum sessions, teacher workdays and other systemwide dates.
School-specific events
Use the Events section on the student’s individual school website for parent nights, performances, clubs, activities and other building events.
2026–27 starting dates: the published calendar lists September 3, 2026 as the first day for K–12 students and September 8 for Pre-K. Because those dates are now past, use the live calendar hub for remaining holidays, minimum sessions and any later revisions.
Do not mix calendars: the academic calendar, school event calendars and Board meeting calendar answer different questions. A school holiday does not automatically cancel a BOE meeting, and a BOE meeting date does not describe student attendance.
Franklin Township Public Schools superintendent and leadership update
Older summer 2026 pages may still mention Dr. Daniel C. Loughran as Interim Superintendent. That was part of a transition period. The district’s current leadership and staff pages now list Dr. Jamil Maroun as Superintendent of Schools.
Dr. Jamil Maroun
Superintendent of Schools
District staff listing: 732-873-2400 ext. 300.
Central administration
The leadership structure also includes curriculum, operations, business, pupil personnel, school management, HR and communications functions.
Franklin Township student registration for 2026–27
The Office of Student Enrollment handles first-time Franklin Township registrations, returning students, charter-school registration, withdrawals, address changes and name changes. Families should use the correct process rather than starting a second registration when the actual task is an address change or withdrawal.
PK3
2026–27 registration opened February 1, 2026.
PK4
2026–27 registration opened April 6, 2026.
K–12
2026–27 registration opened February 1, 2026.
Enrollment office
732-873-1227
registration@franklinboe.org
Genesis Parent Portal: grades, attendance and required forms
Franklin Township Public Schools uses Genesis Parent Access for student information including grades, attendance and required forms. Families receive a Parent Access account when a child is first registered with the district.
Username
The district’s parent resources say the Genesis username is the parent’s email address.
Password reset
Allow several minutes for the reset email and check spam or junk if it does not appear in the inbox.
Disabled account
The district advises waiting 20 minutes before trying again after a Parent Access account becomes disabled.
2026–27 forms: the district says required health verification, meal application notice and back-to-school forms may need to be completed in Genesis before schedules or teacher assignments can be viewed.
Franklin Township transportation: bus timing and contact
The Transportation Department is located at Franklin Middle School–Hamilton Street Campus, 415 Francis Street in Somerset. The department lists 732-828-6620 and transportation@franklinboe.org.
The 10-minute rule
Students should be at the designated bus stop 10 minutes before the scheduled arrival and wait 10 minutes after the scheduled time if the bus is late.
Babysitter/daycare requests
The regular request window runs from the end of May through July 9. Requests must be submitted again each year.
Late babysitter request: the district says requests received after the annual July 9 deadline are considered by the Board in October, but consideration does not guarantee approval.
Delayed opening and minimum-session times
Franklin uses different schedule tiers. This matters because the high school, middle-school campuses and elementary schools do not all begin and dismiss at the same time during a delayed opening or minimum session.
| School level | Delayed start | Minimum-session dismissal |
|---|---|---|
| Franklin High School | 9:20 a.m. | 11:53 a.m. |
| Hamilton Street & SGS middle campuses | 9:20 a.m. | 12:30 p.m. |
| CRS, Hillcrest & Franklin Park | 10:50 a.m. | 1:30 p.m. |
| Claremont, Elizabeth Ave., MacAfee & Pine Grove Manor | 11:30 a.m. | 2:10 p.m. |
Weather and emergency announcements can override normal expectations, so use the current district or school notice before changing transportation or childcare plans.
Child Find and special-education support
Franklin Township’s Department of Pupil Personnel Services covers special education, Child Study Teams, preschool, transition and SEPAC. This route is different from ordinary student registration.
If a Franklin Township resident suspects a child is experiencing learning difficulties, or a healthcare provider recommends evaluation, the district directs families to Pupil Personnel Services at 2301 Route 27.
Board records are not the same as student records
Board/public records
Use BOE agendas, exhibits, minutes, videos, policies, legal notices and district public-record procedures for government records.
Private student records
Transcripts, health information, IEP records and other education records should go through the appropriate school or district student-record process, not public comment.
