By John Felix, Somerset.
In March 2019, the Franklin Township Warrior Education Foundation (FTWEF) was conceived as a not-for-profit organization with the stated mission of “providing support to the Franklin Township Public Schools as they work to provide equitable, enriching learning experiences for all students”.
The Foundation, which is loosely partnered with the Board of Education (BOE), was established partly to mitigate the BOE’s economic challenges to implement costly mandated state and federal educational programs to its students while safeguarding their social and emotional growth. These measures have led to continuous financial strain on our school district budget, and consequentially teachers spending their own money, estimated to be $745 annually, on students’ needs in the form of purchasing classroom supplies. The FTWEF aspires to minimize, if not eliminate, teachers’ classroom expenses.
