COMMITTEE OF NINE REPORT
Retention Method of Projected School Population
The average of the first grade public school population from 1945 thru 1954 is divided by the average of the births for the same length of time six years earlier. This "retention" figure was applied to known annual births for each year to determine the expected first grade public school enrollment six years later.
The average annual public school enrollment in the second grade was divided by the average annual public school enrollment in the first grade for the preceding year. This "retention" figure was applied to known and expected public school first grade enrollments for each year to determine the expected enrollment in grade 2 for the following year. This method was used similarly for grades 3 thru 8. The only exceptions to this rule occur when the parochial school reaches its maximum of 200 pupils per grade. At this point total retention figures were applied to total school enrollments to arrive at a total school population. Then 200 was subtracted to determine the public school enrollment.
As the parochial school abandoned grade 9 in 1952, the total retention figure was applied to the total school population for grades 9 thru 12.

To hear and act upon the further report of the commit- tee appointed under Article 7 of the Special Town Meeting of January 29, 1953 to make a survey with reference to the need and location of additional school buildings and to see if the Town will vote to determine a site or sites for a new school building or school buildings; to appoint a committee to obtain plans and estimates for a suitable building or buildings on such site or sites as the Town may determine; to raise and appropriate a sum of money for the use of said committee; to determine whether the money shall be pro- vided by appropriation from available funds in the treasury or otherwise; or take any other action in relation thereto.
The report of the Committee of Nine on the above Article is as follows: THIRD AND FINAL REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE OF NINE Appointed Under Article 7 of Special Town Meeting of January 29, 1953
To make a Survey with Reference to the Need and Location of Additional School Buildings
Your Committee submitted an initial report at the Town Meeting of April 16, 1953, and a supplementary and concluding report at the Adjourned Special Town Meeting of July 1, 1954. Recommendation 2 of the initial report read in part as follows: "That a six room, three story and basement addition be constructed at the Junior High School .. Pursuant to this recommendation and in ac- cordance with the vote of Town Meeting, the Moderator appointed a committee of seven to obtain plans and estimates of cost for this addition to the Junior High School.
This Committee of Seven submitted a report to the Adjourned Special Town Meeting of July 1, 1954. The principle recommendation contained in this report resulted in the motion which reads in part as follows: "That the Committee of Nine - make a further study with reference to the need and location of addi- tional school facilities and that such committee report with its recommendations to a future Town Meeting."
In accordance with this vote your Committee of Nine respectfully submits its third and final report.
Since the Town Meeting of July 1, 1954, your Committee has held 20 meet- ings. It has reviewed, revised, and brought up to date all statistics contained in its earlier reports. It has given consideration to all available relevant facts, informa- tion, and opinions including current statistics as presented to it by the Norwood School Department, by Bishop Minihan and others concerned with the operation of St. Catherine's Parochial School, by the Town Clerk's Office, by the Town Engineer, and by the Building Inspector of the Town of Norwood.
Your Committee has re-visited all rooms in all Norwood Public Elementary Schools, with the exception of the West School, and all rooms in the Norwood Public Junior High School. Your Committee was pleased to have had the company of representatives of the Parent Teachers Association on this tour.
Your Committee wishes to take this opportunity to publicly commend the Building Committee for the Callahan School Addition, the School Committee and other school officials, and the architect for the part they each and severally played in providing the Town with such an outstanding modern addition to the Callahan School.
