School Finances


In following out the policy of paying salaries that would attract good teachers and help to retain them in Lincoln, your committee has established a definite schedule of yearly advancement for the teachers, whereby grade teachers who remain with us receive an increase of one hundred dollars yearly, and high school teachers an in- crease of one hundred and fifty dollars yearly, these in- creases to be effective until maximums of fifteen hundred dollars and sixteen hundred and fifty dollars, respectively, are reached. This policy has been adopted with a view to enhancing in every way possible the probability of our teachers remaining with us. It is hoped that when the number of teachers graduating from normal schools be- come large enough to care for the demand for new teachers, that the effect of such an equalization of supply and de- mand will be reflected in fewer changes in our teaching force.


With the amount received from the Commonwealth and from other sources, your committee has been able to keep practically within the appropriation granted by the town for this year. It will be noted that the greatest increase in the expenditures were for salaries and High School tuition, both of which items have increased materially.


For the year 1922, to carry on the school work, will re- quire an appropriation of $26,000, which sum is recom- mended by your committee.


Below will be found a grouped statement of expendi- tures for the present year, together with other sums, re- ceived from outside sources and credited to the school account.


Also attached hereto is the report of the Superintendent for the ensuing year. In this report are mentioned certain


115


important matters, some having been referred to by your committee. One mentioned particularly, is that of the : ! '1- ployment of a school nurse, which position is required to be filled, according to a recent law passed by the Legalrare.


Respectfully submitted.


ANTHONY J. DOHERTY, GEORGE G. TAK! . 1. EDITH B FARRAK


116


arrangement of the whole transportation system will have to be made.


Without taking into consideration the added expense incidental to the re-opening of the South School, and including the matter of additional transportation, to continue the school work as at present arranged, your committee would recommend an appropriation by the town of twenty-two thousand dollars for the present year.


Owing to the illness of Mr. Morss, the Superintendent, the superintendent's report will undoubtedly have to be omitted from the Annual Town Report.


ANTHONY J. DOHERTY, CONRAD P. HATHEWAY, GEORGE G. TARBELL, School Committee.
