Franklin County Public Schools town hall set for Oct. 19 in Rocky Mount

ROCKY MOUNT — Franklin County Public Schools has listed a community town hall for 6 p.m. Monday, Oct. 19, 2026, at Rocky Mount Elementary School, 555 School Board Road.

The county calendar says the meeting will discuss school capital needs and the upcoming 1% sales tax referendum. That makes the session relevant to residents following potential school-facility investments and the county’s public discussion around funding.

The official listing identifies the school as the venue but does not provide an agenda, speaker list or separate registration instructions in the event summary. Readers should check the county calendar for any updates before attending.

No referendum result or funding decision is stated in the notice. The event is presented as a town hall discussion, so its purpose is to share information and receive community input rather than announce an outcome.
