"NO SCHOOL" SIGNALS
The sirens in Wrentham, Sheldonville, Plainville and Norfolk fire stations will be used to sound the signal. The "No School" signal will be:
2 BLASTS - 4 TIMES
Signal will have the following meaning:
7:00 A. M. - Omit session in Grades 7 - 12
"No School" signals will be used only when weather conditions are unusually severe, or in cases of emergencies. The scattered population of the district and the extensive pupil transportation system make it necessary to sound the signal, if at all, a considerable time in advance of the opening hour of the school session. It occasionally happens that weather conditions which appear promising at the hour the signal should be sounded became severe by the time many pupils start for school. Parents are requested to use their own judgment in such cases as to whether or not your son or daughter should attend a school session.
When school sessions are to be called off because of weather conditions, announcement will be made over radio station, W B Z - Boston, and W A R A - Attleboro. Parents should tune their radios to these stations between 6:30 A. M. and 7:30 A. M., if in doubt as to whether or not school will be in session.
Should it become necessary to dismiss school before the usual closing time, announcement will be made over the same stations.

Section IV Operating Costs
Operating costs shall be apportioned to the member towns annually in December for the ensuing calendar year on the basis of their respective en- rollments in the regional district school. Each member town's share of the total operating expense shall be determined by multiplying the total of the budgeted operating costs to be apportioned, by a fraction, of which that town's pupil enrollment in the regional district school on October 1 of the year in which the apportionment is determined shall be the numerator, and the total pupil enrollment from all the member towns in the regional district school on the same date shall be the denominator; in the event that enrollment in the regional district school has not been accomplished by said date, on the basis of enrollment in grades 7 through 12 of pupils residing in each member town and receiving education at such town's expense as of October 1 of the preceding year.

CAPITAL COSTS
SECTION IV
Capital Costs shall be apportioned annually in December for the ensuing year as follows: Payment of principal of and interest on notes or other obligations issued by the regional school district to finance capital costs shall be apportioned to the member towns on the basis of the equalized valuation of such towns, as set forth in Chapter 559 of the Acts of 1945 entitled “An Act Establishing the Basis of Apportionment of State and County Taxes" or any later equalized valuations enacted by the General Court of the Common- wealth of Massachusetts in effect on the date the vote authorizing such bonds or other obligations became effective. Each member town's share shall be determined by computing to the nearest one-tenth of one per cent, the ratio which its equalized valuation bears to the total of the equalized valuations of all the member towns, and the ratio shall not be changed during the period such bonds or other obligations are outstanding, except as provided in Section VII. All other capital costs shall be so apportioned to the member towns on the basis of the last such equalized valuation of such towns enacted by said General Court which is in effect on the date on which such apportionment is so determined.
