Report of the SCHOOL COMMITTEE
The School Committee submits the following report for the financial year ending December 31, 1925:
The expenditures for schools were $31,998.68, which lacks but $1.32 of being the total amount of the appropriations.
The appropriation at the annual town meeting was $31,000.00, but the opening of an additional school in the Cottage Street build- ing on account of the crowded conditions in the lower grades, and the cost of certain repairs which could not be foreseen, necessitated an extra appropriation of one thousand dollars at the special town meeting in January, thus making the total appropriation $32,000.00.
The above amount represents the total appropriation for the support of our schools, but on account of the town's receiving in reimbursements from the State for teachers' and superintendent's salaries $8,004.43, which is not available for the use of the School Committee, being paid directly into the town treasury, the net cost of the schools is reduced to $23,994.25.
