SCHOOL COMMITTEE
To the Voters of Acton:
The School Committee herewith presents its report for the year 1938, together with the report of the Superintendent, which has been accepted by the committee.
The work of the Committee for the year consisted of making numerous repairs to all buildings, consultation on policy of school system, appointment of new teachers, and approving all bills.
By vote of the town, we were given the sum of $3,000. for repair work. This amount was spent as follows :
High School Building
In this building, the entire upper part of the rear wall above the windows was taken down and re-laid. The mortar was found to be very loose, and the wall leaking badly, causing severe damage to the interior walls of rooms and auditorium. The auditorium ceiling was badly stained by leakage through the floors in the toilets above. Waterproof, concrete floors were placed in these toilets. Auditorium walls and ceiling were painted as well as library and rooms above. A new motor- driven fan was placed above the chemical laboratory to draw
-146-
off fumes from experiments. Certain roofing and flashing was done in connection with the new rear wall; also all other leaks were taken care of. Numerous other small repairs were taken out of this amount, including weatherstripping and a storm drain from parking space to Charter road.
Rebuilding rear brick wall down to the top of windows and laying waterproof concrete floors in two toilets over the auditorium

The largest item of expense in this building was the installa- tion of a new steam heating plant, and extra radiators. To date the new plant has maintained proper temperature and saved fuel. New gutters were placed on building, storm porch on rear door, and plastering and painting on the inside, including black- boards.

The repairs in this building were smaller than the others.

Basement walls were painted with white water paint. Miscellaneous other small items in plumbing, heating and wiring were done:

In December we let a contract for building a brick tool house in the rear of the parking space at the high school, where we will store the gasoline-driven lawn mower, along with other miscellaneous tools used in the upkeep of the grounds, and storage of inflammables. We recommend that the exterior of the elementary schools be painted this year; the funds to come out of our regular appropriation.
At the South School we had erected a new chain-link fence, partly along one side adjacent to the Sheehan property; the cost of same coming out of our regular repair appropriation.
The janitor service in all schools is now very satisfactory. The men holding these positions have made many repairs and maintained the buildings in a very good condition.
Respectfully submitted,
EVERETT N. MONTAGUE,
Chairman.
