REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE
As a result of the favorable action of the last annual town meeting in regard to the appropriations for public education, we have been able to conduct the schools with- out curtailment in necessary teaching service or in essen- tial equipment.
In addition to meeting all expenses including the pur- chase in advance of fuel for the heating season from Jan- uary 1, 1943 to June, 1944 we are able to return a sub- stantial balance to the excess and deficiency funds of the town treasury. This returned balance together with bal- ances from other departments serves to reduce the amount of funds necessary to be raised by taxation in subsequent years. As a long-run policy it seems wise to the School Committee to forecast as accurately as possible the amount of money necessary to run our schools efficiently and to ask the town to appropriate this amount. During the course of the year it will be our effort to save as much money as circumstances permit without detri- ment to our educational services and turn this back to the town treasury as a balance. Such a procedure should in the long run beget mutual confidence between the school officials and the citizens of the town in the matter of appropriating and expending money for the support of schools.
The budget for 1944 calls for appropriations as follows : salaries $220,800 and general purposes $53,300. It will be noted that the budget for general purposes is the same amount as appropriated last year. The salary budget on the other hand is larger than for last year, the chief reasons being the ten per cent cost of living increase granted as of April 1, 1943 and which is expected to be effective for twelve months in 1944 against nine months in 1943 and second, the salary increments that are granted annually to teachers who have not reached the maximum on the salary schedule.
The sum of the two major items in the budget for 1944,
-10-
namely, salaries and general purposes, is $274,100. Atten- tion is called to the fact that these two major items totalled $227,225 for 1941, the year preceding the war. This comparison makes it clear that the 1944 budget is 21% larger than the 1941 budget, which is almost exactly the same percentage increase that has taken place in the general cost of living during the war period.
We are glad to report that the elementary school lunch which was taken over by the school department on the termination of the W. P. A. activities last April, has been in successful operation at the Cornish School serving about 125 children, most of whom are transported from the outlying sections of the town. In 1943 the receipts from this project turned into the town treasury have exceeded expenditures. This will doubtless continue to be a self-supporting project as long as parents are earn- ing good wages and the federal government continues its cash subsidy of nine cents per meal. The total appropri- ation needed for the elementary school lunch for 1944 is $5,900, this to cover the full school year whereas the 1943 appropriation of $4,500 covered three-fourths of the school year only.
One new item appears in the school budget this year, namely, an amount to cover one-half the retirement fund assessments that would have been paid by those of our teachers who went into the armed forces. We have eleven such teachers. One-half the amount they would have paid to the retirement fund from the time of entry into the armed forces to December 31, 1943 amounts to $767.22. The appropriation of this amount by Plymouth is made obligatory by Chapter 419 of the Acts of 1943. Indeed, it seems most fitting that the retirement allow- ance of these teachers should not be allowed to suffer from their absence in war service.
Any extensive improvements of school property have been out of the question during the past year. The task of waterproofing the easterly side of the High School building which was begun several years ago was com-
1
-11-
pleted this year. Other improvements at the High School included : the partitioning off of a corner of the cafeteria for a workroom on elementary machines; and the installa- tion of a soundproof ceiling in the typewriting room. At the Cornish School the southern and easterly expos- ures of the roof on the main building were reshingled and interior painting was done in the stair halls, corridors, and lavatories. At the Hedge School painting was done in the auditorium, two classrooms, corridors, and coat halls. Considerable preservative work was done on the exterior of the Mount Pleasant building. This included repainting all washed out and open mortar joints in the brickwork, caulking around all windows and doors, and applying two coats of waterproof treatment to all brick- work and stone trim.
