The Families in Transition (FIT) Program is here to assist Franklin students & families, through the McKinney-Vento Act, that are experiencing homelessness, experiencing housing instability, are displaced, are in transition, experiencing housing distress, and/or economic hardship.  FIT works as a bridge between those families, the school & district staff to empower students to stay in & remain successful in school as lifelong learners.  The FIT Coordinator also provides families access to community resources & services helping to ensure students get their needs met.
