REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE
To the Citizens of Weymouth:
The School Committee herewith submits its report for the year 1952. There has been during the past year a change of one-third in the mem- bership. Dr. Edward J. Howley and Mr. George H. Thompson took the places previously occupied by Mr. Joseph W. Mahoney and Dr. Clifford F. Danforth.
Once more rapid growth of the town and its natural corollary, rapid school growth, is the pressing problem, and unfortunately all indications are that it will continue to be so for some years.
In 1952 there have been nine new classrooms opened and eleven are under construction and will be opened during 1953. In November work was started on the conversion of the Bicknell School to a Junior High School next fall. Due to the terrific crowding in North Weymouth a portion of this building will have to be continued as an elementary school for a short while.
In spite of all of this building there will still be overcrowding in certain areas. The following figures will be of interest in comparison with 1945 when there were 771/2 classrooms in use in grades I to VI. In September 1952 there were 139 classrooms, an increase of 79% . In September 1953 there will be 149 classrooms, an increase of 92%. By 1955 the present estimate is for 171 classrooms, or an increase of 120%. With a loss of four classrooms to junior high grades, it would appear that 27 additional class- rooms will be necessary by 1955 for grades I to VI.
In addition to the overcrowding in North Weymouth there will also be a pressing need in th next two years for school housing in the westerly portion of East Weymouth and in the Ralph Talbot and Union Street areas of South Weymouth.
The recommendations of Dr. William K. Wilson, Consultant to the Committee, are being issued under separate cover and provide for these demands.
The impact of rapid growth will be felt this year through the fifth grade level. In June 1953 approximately 270 will be graduated from the High School, whereas 997 pupils were admitted last fall in the first grade, and it is expected that a class of over 900 will be admitted next fall. It does not take courses in higher mathematics to figure where this is leading, but the development of the Junior High Schools will, when completed, solve a large portion of the problem.
With all of this in mind and considering Dr. Wilson's report, it is obvious that new classrooms must be provided in the areas mentioned. This Committee strongly urges the acquisition as soon as possible of land for this purpose. Unless this is done at once there will be no vacant land available in the overcrowded areas. The Committee will from time to time make specific recommendations as to what it deems the proper locations.
After five years with the South Shore Coach Lines holding the con- tract for transportation of pupils, the Committee voted at the expiration of the contract to award the new contract to Hudson Bus Lines, Inc. There had been increasing dissatisfaction on the part of the public and of the School Department with the type of service received. With the Hudson Bus Lines supplying new Reo busses on all school routes, and with the
272
tie-in with the public transportation system of the town, there should be marked improvement and benefit to all concerned.
After many hours of study and comparison of salaries with those of other towns and cities of the Commonwealth, the Committee felt that the request of the teachers for increased compensation was justified and, therefore, adopted a new salary schedule which appears to be more equi- table and fair. At no point is it out of line with comparable towns and cities and unless economic conditions change noticeably, it should be basic for some to time to come.
The budget for 1953 is submitted herewith, together with the amounts spent in 1952.

Increases, with the exception of the teachers' salaries, were all ex- pected and a large portion is found in the need for twenty-three new teachers. Additional janitors and additional transportation also explain the increased budget estimates. Maintenance and operation of the school plant include in the budget those items which were not allowed last year, but which the Committee believe are now more necessary than at that time.
The 1953 school budget was prepared over a two months' period. Many hours of computing, compiling, and assembling of data went into its development. The School Committee held two regular and three special
276
meetings before finally adopting the budget as presented above. The Appropriation Committee will study this budget in relation to all other budgets and make its recommendation to the Town Meeting. It is as much a fault to pare a budget to the bone as it is to pad it, and the Committee feels that the above budget will give the Town of Weymouth and the children a good school system, comparable to what it has insisted on having in the past, with progressive measures but no radical innovations.
