Report of School Committee


The total enrollment in town this year is 15 more than last year. The enrollment in the Academy in October was 20 more than last year. In grades 4 to 8, there has been an in- crease of 18, making 38 more pupils in the upper grades than a year ago. These extra pupils are being cared for without increas- ing the corps of teachers. Of course, the service to individual pupils is reduced because of the larger number per teacher. The indications are that a very similar increase will occur in the Academy and upper grades next September. While it may be necessary to employ another teacher, an effort will be made to so organize the classes that this will not be demanded. If it is impossible to do this, more money will be required for a teacher and new equipment for an additional room at the Center. There will be about 16 more children at Bradstreet next September than at present. This will necessitate en- larging the present room by moving the partition or transferring the grammar grades to the west room.


Based on the last statistical report of the State Board of Education, the total cost per pupil in Hatfield was $64.80 which is an increase over the previous year of $4.38. The state average for the group of similar towns was $84.68. This amount is $6.80 higher than the year before. There are several towns where the cost per pupil is nearly twice as much as here. By comparing the 1927 budget item by item with the expen- ditures for the year just closed, it will be easy to see that the increases are demanded by natural conditions and a steady increase of attendance in the upper grades.


During the year, a new heating plant has been installed at Bradstreet, and such repairs have been made as were absolutely necessary to protect school properties. The school buildings in the different sections are in good condition.


We feel that the town has a very capable corps of teachers and that the standard of work which is being maintained is high


53


considering the overcrowded conditions under which it is being achieved.
