REPORT OF THE PLYMOUTH-CARVER REGIONAL DISTRICT SCHOOL COMMITTEE


At the March Town Meeting it was voted to appoint a committee of three to join with the already existing Carver Planning Committee to investigate the advisa- bility of forming a school district with Carver for the purpose of constructing a regional high school.


In accordance with this vote, Alton S. Cavicchi from the School Committee, David A. Cappannari from the High School Building Committee, and A. Linwood Ellis, Jr. from the Planning Board were appointed by Moderator George A. White. The Carver Committee consisted of Erwin K. Washburn, Faith A. Young, and Franklin P. Wilbur.


These two committees organized as the Plymouth-Car- ver Regional School Planning Board on April 28, 1960 with Mr. Cavicchi as chairman, Mr. Washburn, vice- chairman, and Mrs. Young secretary-treasurer.


A brochure containing a proposed agreement be- tween the Towns of Plymouth and Carver, Mass., with respect to the formation of a regional school district; a drawing, floor plans, and estimated cost of the proposed high school; and the recommendation of the Regional Planning Board were compiled and copies mailed to every registered voter in the two towns. The Regional Plan- ning Board stated that "it is the unanimous opinion of its members that a regional school is the ideal solution to the educational problems of both towns."


Early in October, after many public meetings had been held, the voters of Plymouth and Carver went to the polls and voted to establish a regional school district. The Regional Planning Board then became the Interim School Committee for the district.


-245-


The Plymouth-Carver Regional District School Com- mittee held its first meeting on October 18 and organized with Mr. Cavicchi as chairman, Mr. Washburn vice-chair- man, and Mrs. Young, secretary. In order to expedite the planning of a school, it was agreed that the Plymouth High School Building Committee would work with the Regional School Committee in an advisory capacity.


At special town meetings held in November, the dis- trict was authorized to borrow $100,000 to purchase land from the Town of Plymouth and pay for architects' ser- vices. A sum of money was also appropriated for operat- ing expenses.


Mr. Cappannari was appointed to serve as temporary treasurer for the district without compensation until the regular regional school committe takes office in March. It will also be the duty of the new committee to appoint counsel and to select a name for the school.


The committee adopted a seal for the district and also met with the Plymouth School Committee to inter- view candidates for the position of Superintendent of Schools for the Town of Plymouth and the regional school district. Mr. F. Edward Nicolas was appointed to this position.


Many meetings have been held, including meetings with the architects and Advisory Building Committee, and it is hoped that the voters will approve the bond issue when it comes before them at a later date as it is only then that the Plymouth-Carver Regional High School can become a reality.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE AND THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS


To the Residents of the Town of Plymouth :


I herewith submit my first annual report in coopera- tion with the School Committee.


Incorporated herein are the reports of the Principals, Director of Guidance, Special Subject Supervisors, Dental and Medical Departments, and the Supervisor of At- tendance.


The many problems facing the Town of Plymouth concerning schools are not localized. Practically every town in the Commonwealth is faced with increased school costs and the construction of one or more school plants.


Our most urgent concern in Plymouth at this time is the need for a new secondary school. The present high school opened in September of this year with 505 students. The projected enrollment of September of 1961 is 578 students. The following year, September of 1962, the enrollment is estimated at 946 students. This is figured on a four-year high school program.


The present physical facilities of the senior high school and the continuation of the seventh grades on double session has restricted the entire curriculum as well, forcing the elimination of music and converting the library into classrooms. Educationally speaking, the situ- ation is far from desirable. We must move immediately in order not to shortchange our students of the quality and types of courses needed to equip them to take their place in society.


If the present projected plan is followed through, the junior high will house grade six and some of the fifth


-254-


grades. The senior high school will house grades seven and eight. The enrollment would be in the vicinity of 800 students. This would free some classrooms at the elemen- tary level and allow classes to be rescheduled and elimi- nate congestion to some degree.


Miscellaneous


Being new to Plymouth it is difficult to write a re- port at this time, but I do feel that serious consideration should be given to the establishment of a kindergarten program as soon as the opportunity presents itself.


A pre-school census has already been completed in the Manomet area, and in the spring the census for the remainder of the Town will be completed. This will give a fairly accurate picture for the next few years where our major needs may develop.


The possibility of continued growth in the Manomet area has caused the School Committee to insert an article in the Warrant for a committee to be appointed to study the situation. It appears at this time that for the school year 1961-62 we will be able to meet the projected enroll- ment for the school, but certainly it is not a desirable situation.


The High School Science Department is participat- ing in the N.D.E.A. P.L. 85-864, Title III and our Guid- ance Department under Title V of the same Public Law.


The following is just a part of the use made of Public Law 874 funds.
