V GROWTH OF DISTRICT


The purpose of this section of the report is to give some measure of how the District costs and enrollments have grown and how the growth has occurred by towns .


The first portion of the following tabulation shows that in five years the number of students has increased 32.3%. The second portion shows that during the same period the cost to the towns for their assessments increased 18.5% per pupil. This includes the cost of servicing the additional capital debt for the addition. These figures should not be used for any other measurement than that of assessment per pupil.

REPORT OF THE FINANCE COMMITTEE


The Finance Committee organized for the year with George M. Campbell as Chairman and Abramo L. Mufatti as Clerk. Meetings were held during the year to discuss in detail budget requests of the various departments and committees and we ex- tend to them our appreciation for their cooperation and assis- tance.

The largest increase was in the School budget with $19,138.05 for Elementary Schools and $11,328.44 for Wachusett Regional School. Schools require 64.62% of this budget for 1963.
