Marilyn Franklin is the candidate for the Nicolet School Board. For the last seven terms Franklin has been an exemplary board member who has supported the growth of students into knowledgeable, skilled and confident citizens capable of succeeding in the 21st century.

Franklin advocates for students and works closely with parents, administrators, education professionals and other community members to create an educational vision that benefits all students and the community. She does all this with a clear view of fiscal responsibility to the taxpayers. Franklin has a strong understanding of the crucial role the board assumes in representing the community in this difficult financial time while creating an excellent educational future for the students of Nicolet High School.
