A second building project was started in October of 1961 and the work is progressing well. Another Open House will be held sometime before the end of the school year.
The estimated productivity for the two divisions amounted to $25,309.80. This figure represents the total market value for all of the completed jobs for the year.

ANNUAL REPORT
1961
We are still taking advantage of securing government surplus property. For the past year we have been able to obtain nearly 100% of the materials used for training in our Machine Shop day classes. The material costs the school department less than five percent of its actual value. We were able to add a hydraulic cylindrical grinder to our machine shop equipment. It is now possible for the students to grind a cylindrical piece of stock to very close tolerances.
There are two Vocational Evening Trade Extension Courses and an Apprentice Carpentry Course being held this year in the Adult Education Program. Courses in Machine Blueprint Reading and Draft- ing and Machine Shop Practice are in operation. These courses run for 120 clock hours. Those enrolled must be working at the trade. Their purpose is to provide training so that the students will become more proficient at their jobs. Many of the students who attend the evening classes have been advanced to better positions or have relocated to better jobs.
The Carpentry Apprentice Course is for those employed as ap- prentices. They are required to attend related classes for 150 clock hours per year and are usually required to attend these classes for four years until they become journeymen.
The Director and faculty of the Vocational Division wish to ex- tend our thanks to all who have helped with our program. It is with your aid and understanding that has enabled us to progress.

ANNUAL REPORT
1961
Total number of school days according to the above is 185 days. The minimum allowed by the Department of Education is 180 days. This means that days lost due to bad weather or other causes must not exceed 5. Any days missed in excess of 5, must be made up, probably by extending the June closing.
Approved, June 5, 1961, King Philip Regional School District Committee.
"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 meanings:
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 popu- lation 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 become 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 con- ditions, announcement will be made over the following radio stations:
WBZ - Boston - 1030 on the dial
WEEI - Boston - 590 on the dial
WHDH -:- Boston - 850 on the dial
WPRO - Providence - 630 on the dial
WARA - Attleboro - 1320 on the dial
Parents should tune their radios to these stations between 8:30 A.M. and 7:30 A.M., if in doubt as to whether or not school will be in session, or telephone EVergreen 4-2654.
- Should it become necessary to dismiss school before the usual closing time, announcement will be made over the same stations.

EDUCATION PLANNING COMMITTEE
At the Annua Town Meeting in March 1961 it was voted to form a nine member Education Planning Committee to study school problems -such as organization, program and buildings and to act in an advis- ory capacity to the Town and to the School Committee.
This committee was formed and organized with one member each from the Board of Selectmen, School Committee, Finance Committee and Planning Board and 5 additional members. A series of meetings were held both independently and jointly with the Plainville School Board and with the Regional Enrollment Sub-Committee and the School Boards and Education Planning Committee of the other K. P. Regional members This committee has met on an average of every two weeks since it was formed.
The immediate problem confronting this committee was that of school housing both in the Regional School and in the Elementary School.
In regard to the housing problem at K.P. the building is now at capacity and as enrollment increases the educational program will suffer. Already in spite of efficient utilization of present facilities there are limitations on elective subjects.
Several solutions are possible. Among those considered were:
a) make additions to the present facilities at K.P. and continue with grades 7-12 at Wrentham.
b) return grades 7 and 8 to individual towns.
c) build separate junior high schools on a regional basis.
The committee recommends that in the interest of relieving over- crowding at the Regional H.S. and most economically providing the best educational program, a regional junior high school be constructed in Plainville or Norfolk by 1965 and an additional regional junior high school be constructed in Plainville or Norfolk (whichever did not get the first one) by 1969. Additions to the present building which would probably be confined to grades 9-12 would not be necessary until after 1970. (A similar recommendation was made by the Norfolk School Planning Committee. The Wrentham Planning Committee was in agreement with this approach.) Since it was the opinion of the repre- sentatives of the individual towns that grades 7 and 8 should not be
131
ANNUAL REPORT
1961
returned to the towns, the responsibility for accommodating these grades should remain with the King Philip Regional Committee.
To provide a more equitable basis for apportionment of capital costs this committee recommends that on all future construction undertaken by the Regional School capital costs be apportioned to the individual towns on the basis of enrollments. (Operating costs are now apportioned this way while capital costs are based on equalized valua- tions.)
Returning to the elementary grades projected enrollments of grades 1-6 show that additional classroom space will be needed by 1963. Although the enrollment level is not increasing now as rapidly as in the previous 10 years it is still increasing. In the tabulation below are estimated enrollments and classroom requirements based on pres- ent enrollments and census reports. Also are shown figures prepared by the State Building Assistance Commission which include a factor for growth. It is impossible to know exactly what future enrollments will be, but it is reasonable to expect they will fall somewhere be- tween these two estimates.

Since all 20 classroom are now being used in the present building and additional room will be needed, this committee recommends that the necessary steps be taken to provide additional classroom space for the elementary grades. Since 2-3 years is usually required from the

time planning is started to the time the building is ready the prelimi- nary work should be started as soon as possible. To this end the first step involving consultation with the Mass. State Building Assistance Commission has already been initiated.
The Education Planning Committee recommends that a new Ele- mentary School be built on a new site centrally locate for population growth.
To carry through the proposed building program it is recom- mended that a Building Committee be appointed at the regular Town Meeting.
