In early 2015, several school records for Franklin Township were discovered. These school records were brought to the Wayne County Public Library Genealogy and Local History Department. These include:

• Certificate of Local Directors to the Township Clerk.
• Copy of School Examiners' Certificate.
• Teacher's Report to the Clerk of the Board of Educational Services.
• Teacher's Term Report to the Township Clerk.

Both reports include the names of the children, their ages, the number of days each child was present, and the subjects of study.

Most of the school records are from the mid-1880s to late-1880s with a few from the mid-1870s.

Digital copies of these records are found on the schoolhouse's Wiki page.
