REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE


To the Voters of Acton :


The School Committee presents herewith its annual report for the fiscal year 1928, and its requirements for the year 1929. The reports of the Superintendent and Supervisors are approved and attached herewith.


The new appropriation is expected to cover the cost of main- taining the third teacher in Acton Center School and the increase in the transportation due to the three year contract signed last September.


A new teacher was added to the staff at Acton Center to re- lieve the situation, where a large increase in attendance made it very difficult for two teachers to satisfactorily carry the work. A number of new books have been put into the hands of the pupils from Grade I to VIII. The School Department has brought the elementary school buildings to a higher state of repair and has improved teaching conditions. Further details about repairs may be found in the financial report and the superintendent's report.


The Committee has insured the High School building and contents for the sum of $88,000.00 at a premium of $970.01 for three years, by taking advantage of the 80 percent insurance clause. It was found that this insurance could be written for more face value of policy and at less premium expense to the town, by insuring the building in this manner instead of for $75,000 previously specified. Otherwise the Town of Acton would have had to become co-insurers, with insurance of less face value of insurance ($75,000) and expend more in premium payment. The present insurance is more advantageous to the town from all three of these points.


The School Committee has found it advisable and practically necessary to go out of the transportation business because it was found that as a town agency it was practically impossible to ob- tain adequate insurance to protect the children. This protec- tion can be obtained by operating the busses by private individ- uals or a corporation. The Committee therefore disposed of the busses to Mr. A. W. Davis of West Acton for cash and made a contract with him for transportation for the next three years


Through a clerical error in reporting the transportation balance it was believed necessary to have the money from the sale of busses reappropriated to the school committee. It has since been found not to be needed, and the money is returned to the treasury.


The following table shows the amounts received by the Town Treasurer for the reduction of taxes (with correction in 1927) :
