REPORT OF THE SCHOOL DEPARTMENT
REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE
To the citizens of Chelmsford:
The School Committee wishes to report that during the fiscal year of 1953 they held thirty-five official meetings as well as several other informal meetings for the purpose of keeping in close contact with our school affairs. Several groups and individuals have appeared before the Committee from time to time with various problems and inquiries. We encourage such an interest on the part of parents and at all times are anxious to assist in the solution of their problems as they relate to our schools. The members of the School Committee also serve on the North Building Committee and the Center Building Committee and, in furtherance of these duties, attended thirty-two meetings.
In keeping with the Committee's policy of maintaining the school plant in the best possible manner with available funds, several major repairs and improvements were made. One of the two boilers at the McFarlin School was replaced. An unsightly and dangerous condi- tion between the McFarlin School and High School was remedied by grading and seeding the entire area, installing new walks and erecting a fence to prevent cars from entering this area. A catch-basin and pipeline were installed at the Westlands School playground to take care of a perennial surface water problem. It was necessary to pro- vide Lunch Program facilities at the Highland School as a result of using this school for seventh and eighth grade pupils from the Mc- Farlin School. Late in the year, the Committee voted to purchase an intercommunication system for the High School, an action which had long since been delayed for lack of funds. In addition to these major projects, many other routine maintenance repairs were made.
The new North School was opened for use in September and was immediately filled to capacity. At a special Town Meeting held in March, the Town voted the sum of $850,000 for the construction of a new twenty-four room elementary school in Chelmsford Center. Construction of this school was begun late in the summer and, by the end of the year, work was progressing at a satisfactory pace. We hope to have this school available for use soon after the begin- ning of the school year, 1954-1955. With its opening and the transfer of seventh and eighth grade pupils from all parts of the town to the McFarlin School, the overcrowded condition of our present school buildings will be considerably alleviated. With our school enrollment increasing so rapidly, however, and with no immediate relief in sight, we must make early plans to further meet the pupil-housing needs and, at the same time, maintain a high standard of education.
267
REPORT OF THE SCHOOL DEPARTMENT
Your Committee was sorry to lose the services of Ray Pike, Jr. who was forced to resign in September because of business reasons. Mr. Pike had been a member of the Committee since March, 1952. At a joint meeting of the School Committee and the Board of Select- men, Arthur S. Russell was elected to fill this vacancy until the an- nual town election in March, 1954.
The Committee wishes to assure the townspeople that we are constantly striving to improve the caliber of education available to the boys and girls of Chelmsford and, at the same time, to keep our school facilities in as good condition as possible. We are grateful for the cooperation we have had in the past year from the citizens of the town and trust that the same good relations will continue to exist in the year ahead of us.
Respectfully submitted,
VERNON R. FLETCHER, Chairman ALLAN D. DAVIDSON ARTHUR S. RUSSELL

REPORT OF THE SCHOOL DEPARTMENT
REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
To the Chelmsford School Committee:
This report includes the usual statistical data and tables for com- parative purposes together with general information pertaining to the operation of the schools for the year 1953. Further information or details may be secured at the office of the Superintendent of Schools.
STAFF
The opening of the North School and the increase in enrollment in all schools necessitated the addition of six new teachers. This gives us a teaching staff of 71. As a result of resignations we had ten teacher replacements. For the last three years we have had an average ot ten replacements per year or a total of thirty replacements in three years.
Our teaching staff ranks high with respect to education and training yet low in salaries in comparison with towns of comparable size and wealth.
BOOKS AND SUPPLIES
Tables in this report indicate birth rate and immigration continue annually to increase our enrollment thus causing increased demands for books and supplies over and above the normal needs.
The basic needs are being met even though we are far from an ideal plan of text book replacements.
SCHOOL PLANT
Opening of the new North School made possible the closing of the two Princeton School buildings and the Quessy School. Pupils who formerly were housed at the Highland School attend the new school.
The North School with its new and modern equipment has given pupils and teachers the incentive and tools for improved teaching.
Increased enrollment at McFarlin School made necessary the use of the Highland School for grades seven and eight. Two rooms at the High School are still used by McFarlin pupils.
Some pupils who normally would attend the Westlands School were again transferred to the McFarlin School. The cooperation given in connection with the above mentioned transfers has been thoroughly appreciated. In fact, most parents have demonstrated an excellent spirit in helping to meet the difficulties involved while adequate housing is being provided for our pupils.
.
270
REPORT OF THE SCHOOL DEPARTMENT
The school buildings to remain a permanent part of our school plant are being maintained in good condition with some improvements made annually.
LOOKING AHEAD
During the next school year the new Center School will be com pleted for use by the McFarlin and East pupils in Grades 1-6 together with any excessive enrollment in those grades at the Westlands School.
When the Center School is ready for occupancy all pupils in grades seven and eight can be housed at the McFarlin School and the six-year High School plan can begin to operate.
Chelmsford has made an excellent start in plans to adequately house the pupils of the town but the end is not in sight for national figures indicate that there will be 30% more pupils in our schools in 1960.
Plans need to be started soon to provide proper education faci- lities long needed for grades seven through twelve as well as to be ready to meet crowded conditions in those grades. It is essential that such facilities be ready for occupancy in September 1958. They will be sadly needed before that date.
A glance at the enrollment chart for October 1953 should leave no doubt in the mind of any citizen regarding the urgency of this item.
The people of Chelmsford have cooperated in our efforts to sa- tisfactorily meet and solve the many problems of the year. A continua- tion of this spirit will result in improved education for the children of Chelmsford.
Respectfully submitted,
H. MORTON JEFFORDS
Superintendent of Schools.
