TOWN OF RANDOLPH, MASS.
Elementary grades, one through six, may be discon- tinued if the weather is very bad.
By courtesy of WBET, WJDA, WBZ, WHDH, and WCOP Broadcasting Stations, no school announcements will be given by radio as near the local hours as is con- venient and possible for the station announcer.
"No School" (grades 1 through 6) will be signaled only on cold, stormy winter days when safety and health
factors are generally involved. Heavy rain at other times of the year will not be considered a cause for closing school.
In the final analysis, each parent can best decide whether or not to send his child to school on a stormy day. Individual factors of health, distance from school, available transportation, etc., can be considered in making the decision.
Please do not call the Fire Department as they have only one phone which must be kept open to be used for fire calls. Keep tuned to the above-mentioned radio sta- tions, and you will be the first to know about "no school".

ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-FIRST ANNUAL REPORT
Report of School Planning Board
At the Annual Town Meeting, held in March, 1956, by nomination from the floor, nine citizens were named to serve on the Randolph School Planning and Building Committee, until the completion of the Vesey Road School. By subsequent motion, the total number of the committee was increased to seventeen, and the eight additional ap- pointments were made by the Town Moderator.
This committee, composed of citizens holding no elective Town office, and serving without remuneration, replaces the former School Planning and Building Com- mittee composed of thirty-five members, who had already served so efficiently, and who had laboured in the plan- ning stages of this contribution to the Town's concern with its educational problem.
At the Special Town Meeting of 21 March, 1955, it was voted unanimously that the sum of $788,000.00 be raised and appropriated for the purpose of constructing, equipping, and furnishing the site development, a new 18 room Elementary School, on land already owned by the Town, off Vesey Road. In consequence of this mandate, the original committee proceeded with the planning, en- gaged the architect, and sent out the plans for bid pre- vious to the taking of office by the present committee.
The first meeting of the present committee was held on 23, May, 1956. The bids for the construction of the new school were opened on 4 June, 1956. Only two bids were received, one for $1,184,477.00 by the Margill Con-

struction Co., and the other, $1,234,500 by the Park Construction Co. Since even the lower bid was far in excess of the amount appropriated, it became the concern of the committee to enter into deliberations and considera- tion of what might be effected to bring down the cost of construction of this needed school within the realm of realization.
The architect of the building was instructed to in- corporate all possible changes to effect cuts in costs. The site development architect was likewise instructed to pare down judiciously on this part of the project. Both archi- tects agreed that this could be done and still possess a plan of maximum efficiency. It was determined to con- sider the site development contract as a separate contract. Many hours of careful study of the plans as well as the present and future needs of the school complex were put into the planning. The committee conferred many times with the State Building Assistance Commission whose approval of all plans is essential when school building with state aid is expected. The State Building Assistance Commission will furnish 50% of the cost of construction of this building project. Numerous visits to examine school construction in contiguous areas were made, and conferences with members of school building committees in adjoining towns were held.
