ANNUAL TOWN REPORT
SCHOOL COMMITTEE REPORT
During the year 1956, the Chelmsford School Committee held twen- ty-two regular and thirty special meetings. In addition, the Com- mittee held several informal meetings with the Superintendent for the purpose of keeping in constant contact with all phases of the school program. The Committee participated in all meetings of the New High School Planning and Building Committee, of which they are members. Interested citizens have met with the Committee on several occasions to discuss matters in which they have an interest and with which they are concerned. Such interest has always been encouraged and all residents of the town are urged to acquaint them- selves with the operation of the school system as it is of ever-in- creasing importance to them. The Committee has always been ready to cooperate whenever possible. From all this, it is readily apparent that, in this period of rapid growth of our system and the problems created thereby, the office of School Committee has become increas- ingly more demanding on the time of the members.
As anticipated, 1956 was another year of increased enrolment. With the exception of the old four-room East School and one classroom in the Quessy School, every school building is filled to capacity. In September, 1957, all school facilities in the town will be filled to over- flowing. A natural result of greatly increased enrolment is greatly in- creased cost of operation. Added to this is the rising cost of all school textbooks, supplies and materials, and the problem of acquiring qual- ified teachers within the salary range which the town can reasonably afford to pay. Although we have revised our salary schedule radically upward in recent years, we still pay no more and, in some instances, less than communities of comparable size and financial circumstances. Also, we have begun to experience difficulties in procuring the services of qualified teachers in the field of mathematics and science.
Unquestionably, the most significant action taken during the past year in the field of education was that of acquiring land for the erect- ion of a new high school and, later, the voting of funds for its con- struction. This will be the most costly project undertaken in the histo- ry of the town, but it is one of necessity, and we are sure that, upon
299
ANNUAL TOWN REPORT
its completion, our whole educational program will be vastly improved. It is not only necessary to keep pace with our growing enrolment, but we must continually endeavor to improve the quality of the education which we offer our youth.
Regrettably, the cost is staggering and is a matter for sober re- flection. The need for greater educational aid at the state level cannot be overemphasized. The already harassed real estate taxpayer cannot be expected to shoulder these burdens indefinitely. Fortunately, there are strong indications that, in 1957, legislation will be expected to alle- viate the situation, and it is our fervent hope that such will be the case.
In closing, we commend to your attention the entire school depart- ment report, as it concerns you vitally. We wish to thank those mem- bers of the school staff. whose devotion and dedication have been in- strumental in keeping our school system at a high level, the parents and other townspeople who have been patient with the numerous tem- porary measures which have been necessary during this period of trial, and all others who, in any way have contributed to the welfare of the school department.
Respectfully submitted, Chelmsford School Committee
Vernon R. Fletcher, Chairman Arthur S. Russell Allan D. Davidson, Secretary

ANNUAL TOWN REPORT
REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT
I take this opportunity to express my appreciation to the members of the Chelmsford School Committee not only for their sincere inter- est, but also for their help in increasing the effectiveness of the educa- tional program of the Chelmsford Public Schools during the past year.
The work of the High School Building Committee has been impress- ive. Its members deserve commendation for the many long hours that are going into the careful and thoughtful planning of the new high school. This will result in a better high school program for the youth of Chelmsford.
It is indeed a pleasure to serve in a community which not only rec- ognizes but is willing to face realistically its school problems.
Likewise, it is gratifying to see the keen interest that parents are showing in our educational system. Nothing blocks the path of a good educational program so much as public apathy. An alert citizenry can do much to get good schools and good teaching.
The School System is continuing to grow at the rate of approxim- ately six to seven classsrooms per year. Consequently, the teaching staff is increasing. To select and keep good teachers is one of the most important tasks of the school administrator. Today, with the shortage of teachers, it is a difficult task. Perhaps the greatest single factor causing this shortage is that of salary. The School Committee is cog- nizant of this factor and has spent many hours arriving at their salary recommendations which will put Chelmsford in a more competitive position.
The expanding school population make it necessary for the High School to utilize three classrooms in the McFarlin School. Next September an additional three classrooms will be assigned to the High School.
A similar growth in the elementary grades caused the reopening of the Quessy and Highland Schools.
The fall term will find the East School in operation and possibly sev- eral grades on double session. However, every effort will be made to avoid double sessions.
Chelmsford teachers are continuing to take steps toward improving themselves as teachers and toward improving the educational pro- gram. Many of them are enrolled in special courses in various colleges throughout this area. Significant curriculum work is now going on at all levels of instruction. During the present year many recommenda- tions will be forthcoming from these studies.
301
ANNUAL TOWN REPORT
Greater emphasis is being placed upon our guidance services. If a guidance program is to be most effective, it must serve the pupil when he enters school for the first time and be of assistance to him during his entire school experience. A vital and necessary part to the func- tioning of a successful guidance program is the testing program. At present our testing program is being evaluated relative to its use for better guidance purposes.
This past September the Chelmsford Public Schools started a special adjustment class for the children with limited mental abilities. We were fortunate to secure a most competent teacher and to find space in the Center Elementary School.
The Remedial Reading position remains vacant as it has been impos- sible to hire such a teacher to date. However, with the proposed new salary schedule, I am hopeful that the position will be filled by the next school term.
Educational field trips evolving from the science and social studies curricula are now beginning to benefit our elementary school children. These trips, closely related to their school work, build a resevoir of information for a more meaningful educational program.
The routine maintenance program of our buildings this past year has continued. The work done by our janitors is outstanding and results in considerable financial savings for the Town.
Your attention is called to the reports of our Supervisors as well as to the charts and tables appended to this report.
The endeavors of the various Parent-Teacher Associations, the Boost- er Club, the Town Departments, the Town Officials and the Civic Or- ganizations have been extremely helpful.
I am grateful to these people, to the School Committee and the en- tire School Personnel for their loyal support and cooperation.
Respectfully submitted,
Thomas L. Rivard
Superintendent of Schools.

EDUCATIONAL AND EMPLOYMENT CERTIFICATES
Every person from 14 to 16 years of age must have an employment certificate or permit, and those between 16 and 18 years of age must have an educational certificate before starting work. These certificates and permits may be obtained from the offices of the Superintendent of Schools and the Principal of the High School. When one makes applic- ation for a certificate (or "working card"), he must apply in person and bring his Birth Certificate or proof of last grade attended.
NO SCHOOL SIGNALS
When school is called off because of severe weather conditions, the following system will be used :
FOR ALL GRADES
The "NO SCHOOL" whistle which is 3-3-3 will blow at 7:25 A.M.
FOR ELEMENTARY GRADES
This will include all students who either walk to school or are transported on the elementary scheduled buses.
The "NO SCHOOL" whistle which is 3-3-3 will blow at 7'25 A.M. Radio Stations WLLH and WCAP of Lowell, and WBZ of Boston, will carry announcements on their regular No School Broadcasts.
It will be the policy of the School Department to close school only in case of extreme weather conditions, otherwise, to hold regular sessions. Parents are urged, therefore when school is in session on stormy days, to exercise their personal judgement as to the wisdom of sending their children to school.
