SCHOOL COMMITTEE
To the Voters of Acton:
The School Committee presents herewith its annual report to- gether with the report of the Superintendent, which has the approval of the Committee, and is recommended for your study and atten- tion.
The school system has functioned fairly normally during the past year. The pared appropriation hindered somewhat, but the C.W.A. came to our assistance. Work which we normally would have had to do out of our own appropriation has been taken care of by that bit of legislation, a help to the townspeople as well as ourselves. The high school building has been thoroughly painted inside, which is quite refreshing. The leaking walls have been thoroughly calked and waterproofed, which will be a great benefit to the structure. These projects were absolutely done of necessity, and would have cost the town in the vicinity of two thousand dollars, whereas, its cost to the town for part of the material was approximately two hundred eighty dollars.
