Report of School Committee


The school population is slightly greater this year than last. More pupils are enrolled in the schools. There are 18 more pupils in grades 4 to 8 in the Center School than last year. These have been so distributed that they are accommodated in the regular rooms without additional teachers.


While the school budget is necessarily larger because of this increased school registration, it may be of interest to note that it is costing $17.46 per pupil less than the State average for towns of similar valuation. The total cost per pupil in Hatfield is $60.42. The average for similar towns is $77.88 per pupil.


As the school lot at Bradstreet was very small, an addition was puchcased in accordance with the vote of the town at the last annual meeting. A playground in connection with the North Hatfield School was also purchased. All the schools now have good playgrounds.


The furnace at the Hill School has been repaired and the ventilation improved. Some very much needed repairs were made at the Center School.


Plans, specifications and bids were secured for the remodel- ing of the North Hatfield building. These provided for ex- cavation for a basement under the old part, installation of modern sanitary equipment, and a heating and ventilating plant as well as the improvement of schoolrooms and new hall and stairways. The building is now in as good condition as any in town. The heating and ventilating system is so installed that it will be adequate for heating and ventilating the upper roim if it is ever needed for school purposes.


A smaller per cent of our teachers secured new positions during last vacation. The new teachers who took their places


69


are doing excellent work and the schools seem to be progress- ing very satisfactorily.


In the resources, other than taxation, for this year there are no receipts from the Academy Trustees. The income from some of the funds has been reduced. They are planning to make some repairs on the Academy building this next year. They are to contribute $1,000 toward the maintainance of the schools. The expenses have been kept within the budget recived with a balance in the treasury of $247.92


It is the rule in all towns using the State System of accoun- ting- for the town to appropriate the total budget for the School Departinent and then turn into the treasury all money received from the State and all other sources. We recommend that the two methods be carefully considered when appropria- tions are made this year.
