ยท SCHOOL REPORT


REPORT OF THE MERRIMAC SCHOOL COMMITTEE 1963


To the Citizens of Merrimac :


Your School Committee submits the following report for the year 1963. As you know, your Committee super- vises the elementary grades within the town and three of its members serve on the Pentucket Regional School Committee. At the present time there are 484 pupils in grades 1 - 6 and 377 in grades 7 - 12 with 7 students at the Vocational Trade School in Haverhill, 1 in Haverhill Special Education class and 1 in the Massachusetts Hospital School.


PUPIL HOUSING


The need for additional educational facilities for the children of Merrimac is evident on both the elementary and secondary levels. In Merrimac every classroom has been used for over a year. With the expected sizable first grade in the fall of 1964 and only 63 pupils in the present sixth grade, we can expect a shortage of classrooms. Due to the uneven distribution of children in the grades, two classrooms will have to be set up in the all-purpose room. In view of the length of time used to plan, have accepted, and build new facilities, steps should be taken for new facilities immediately.


7


TOWN OF MERRIMAC


As you know, on the secondary level the efforts to secure additional pupil housing have failed twice. An alternate proposal is being prepared to present to the voters. The shortage of classrooms cannot be wished away. It will have to be faced over and over again until the dilemma is solved. Platooning, now in effect, is slowly eating away the slight educational advantage that many of you had provided for your children.


This Committee appreciates the assistance and en- couragement which many citizens have given to us toward the solution of our educational housing situation. We have been dismayed by our inability to convey the criticalness of the situation to others. Without hesitation we can say that in terms of cost-quality the best solutions have been presented to you after long hours of careful consideration.


EDUCATIONAL EXPENDITURES


Because your children are largely educated through property taxes, the burden seems almost too great. And yet as we visit our neighboring communities we find this oppressive feeling nearly everywhere. One solution which appears to give some hope to the homeowner is the pro-, posed State Aid to Education program. This program, if enacted, will greatly relieve the homeowner of some educational expenditures. From another viewpoint, how- ever, we know from experience and life that the economic


8


SCHOOL REPORT


salvation of our children lies in their education. Our sacrifices may give them some hope. We know that more of the uneducated are unemployed, more of the uneducat- ed are destitute, many of the uneducated are unemploy- able. The facts supporting sufficient educational oppor- tunities are around us on all sides if we just want to see them. The additional sacrifice we make for our children may not be appreciated by many now but this sacrifice will pay handsome rewards in the future.


ADDITIONAL REPORT ON EDUCATION


This Committee, the Pentucket Regional Committee, and the School Committees of Groveland and West New- bury are planning a comprehensive report on the schools of the three towns. Significant information bearing on many items of interest will be found in this publication. which many of you will want to review when it appears about Town Meeting time. We hope that, in this manner,. we can bring the schools closer to you and present more of the information about the schools for your consideration ..
