Here are the top three stories today in Franklin:

1. On Tuesday, Williamson County Schools Superintendent Jason Golden announced he plans to recommend closing a school later this month. Golden will recommend closing Discovery K-8 online school at the Apr. 14 work session and Apr. 18 board meeting. Information about the possible closing was sent to Discovery staff and families on Monday. The primary reason for the closure was that there were not enough students to attend. (WSMV 4)
2. Franklin police are asking the public to help identify two suspects wanted in a series of shoplifting cases from the CoolSprings Galleria. The two suspects arrived in a dark-colored SUV on Mar. 20 and Mar. 23, and stole designer sunglasses and fragrances. If you recognize the suspects, please call Crime Stoppers for a cash reward: (615) 794-4000. (Williamson Source)
