Franklin County Schools '❤️ Our People For the eighth time in the past nine years, and the second year in a row, FCS employees will be receiving a 4% pay increase. Our Superintendent and Board members have worked tirelessly to elevate Franklin County Schools from 90th to 26th in the state for teacher pay. This 4% pay increase for all employees is in addition to the approximate 1% step increase, supplementing the 4% raise from 2024 and the 2% raises provided in 2017, 2018, 2019, 2021, 2022, & 2023. A special thank you to our board for their unwavering support and dedication. #FCSYes | #OneTeamFCS

Dear Franklin County Families, We want to make you aware of a concerning social media trend that encourages students to intentionally damage their school-issued Chromebooks by attempting to short out the charging ports. In some cases across the country this trend has led to injury and even caused electrical and fire damage to homes. Please take a moment to speak with your child about the serious dangers of participating in these types of online trends. Their safety—and the safety of our students, staff, and families—is our number one priority. Thank you for your continued support in helping us keep our school community safe. #OneTeamFCS
