School Committee
To the Citizens of the Town of Hatfield:
Your school committee submits this annual report of its activities and approves the reports of the staff mem- bers which appear on the pages following. During the year ending December 31, 1949, the committee held eleven regular and four special meetings.
Recent School Legislation
On June 17, 1948, the Massachusetts legislature en- acted a law known as Chapter 643. This law was an amendment to Chapter 70 of the General Laws. Section I states : "To promote the equalization of educational oppor- tunity in public schools of the Commonwealth and the equalization of the burden of the cost of schools to the respective towns, the State Treasurer shall pay annually to the several towns sums as provided in this Chapter, which sums shall be known as school aid." (The bold face type is ours.) In 1949, the Town of Hatfield received reim- bursement from the Commonwealth under this new law in the amount of $17,148.12. In 1948, under the old Chapter 70, the Town of Hatfield received $3,370. It is a matter of arithmetic to show that the new law provided over five times as much state reimbursement for the town of Hatfield. The school committee requests that the voters take into consideration this increase in state aid in considering the budget of the school department.
91
Pending State Legislation
The Massachusetts Council for Public Schools has presented for the consideration of the 1950 legislature a bill increasing state aid to schools by $15,000,000.00. Some of the highlights of this bill are:
1. The bill proposes an addition to the state aid granted under Chapter 643 of the Acts of 1948 of about $15,000,000.00.
2. A formula for computing this additional amount is proposed. The main factors are the net aver- age pupil membership and the relation of the local tax rate for schools to the average state tax rate for schools.
It is safe to say that the Town of Hatfield would gain by the passage of this bill. The school committee feels that the proposal deserves the support of those interested in maintaining good educational conditions in Massachu- setts.
Veterans On-Farm Training
During the year 1949 the school committee has con- ducted the Hatfield Evening Agricultural School as a part of the Veterans On-Farm training program. Six veterans of World War II have been enrolled in this program. The instructor, Mr. George Feiker, has been teaching in the high school agriculture department one- half of each school day and spending the rest of the day supervising the work of the veterans on their own farms. Twice each month he has held evening classes for as- semblied instruction.
In the summer of 1949 the state legislature passed a law transferring the veterans' training program to the State Department of Education. This law was to become effective January 1, 1950. Early in the new year the
92
veterans' program will be expanded in that more veterans will be enrolled. During 1949 the combination of vet- erans' training and high school teaching has been a full- time position. However, the increase in enrollment in the veterans' program during 1950 will necessitate a full-time instructor. This will enable Mr. Feiker to de- vote his entire time to an expanded high school agriculture department.
Under the state organization the veterans' instructor will be paid directly by the state and the Hatfield school committee will supply adimnistrative service, minor sup- plies, and a meeting place for the assembled instruction. The Town of Hatfield will be reimbursed for these services and supplies.
Repairing Of The Smith Academy Building
Later in this report are listed the repairs made by the trustees of Smith Academy to the high school build- ing. The committee respectfully calls the attention of the voters of the Town to the savings affected for the taxpayers by the making of these repairs through funds earned under the Smith will. Were it necessary to finance the upkeep of this building by public funds the budget of the school department would be increased considerably. The gratitude of the school committee, the teaching force, the students, and parents is extended to the mem- bers of the board of trustees.
Salary Schedule
In August 1949 the state legislature passed a bill making it mandatory for towns with a valuation of over $2,500,000.00 to pay all school teachers a minimum salary of $2,100.00. There were in the Hatfield schools seven teachers whose salary was below this minimum. In con- formance with the law the school committee raised the
93
salaries of these teachers to $2,100.00 on November 15. Feeling that other teachers who had taken increased professional training under the Hatfield salary schedule should be given consideration in view of these changed salaries, the committee met with a salary committee from the Hatfield Teachers Association to discuss the matter. After two meetings an agreement was reached. Ap- proximately $1,650.00 of the increase in the teacher salary item in the 1950 budget is due to the minimum salary law passed by the 1949 state legislature. The school committee is definitely committed to the principle of rewarding increased professional training by increases in the salary schedule. This principle was adhered to during the talks with the teachers. The committee feels that the teachers deserve the considerations given them in the matter of salaries.
Changes In Personnel
In April 1949 Miss Doris MacLaughlan, teacher in grade one, resigned to accept a position in Agawam. Miss Evelyn Marinus, of Newtonville, a graduate of Les- ley College, was employed to fill the vacancy.
Mrs. Sophie Filipkowski, teacher in grade two of the Center Elementary School, applied for and was grant- ed a leave of absence for the school year 1949-50. Mrs. Martha Boyle, a former teacher in the Hatfield schools, was employed as a one-year substitute for Mrs. Filip- kowski.
