THE TOWN OF ACTON


ACTON SCHOOL COMMITTEE ANNUAL REPORT - 1960


The Acton School Committee respectfully submits this report for the year 1959-1960, and as a review of the past ten years.


A year ago "Evaluation" was the keynote of the report of the Acton-Boxborough Regional High School. This year, when the Acton Pub- lic Schools have completed a decade of unprecedented growth since the mid-century point, it seems appropriate that we evaluate our develop- ment at the Primary and Elementary level as well -- with a passing critical glance at the functioning of the School Committee responsible for it.


Nationally, this has been a decade of tremendous school population growth, and of a reawakened public interest in American education. The population explosion, at its peak in the 1943 baby crop, has burst its way through to the end of high-school in these ten years, making its demands for more room and more teachers the major civic problem in every village and city in the land.


At the same time, the revolutionary scientific break-through of the Atomic Age has stimulated widespread interest and anxiety about the quality of our national educational offerings. Long before "Sputnik" jarred us awake to our scholastic deficiencies, or Dr. Conant began telling us what to do about them, citizen interest in better public education had become a national trend.


These two factors for growth and change in our schools have been as potent in Acton as elsewhere. Our one hundred "'43 babies," this year's seniors, have literally broken out of Acton's time-honored village school houses. Over-flowing their way through church basements, fire- house lofts, club houses, residential apartments and rented school-rooms in neighboring towns; struggling through two years of educational "austerity" under a two-platoon schedule, they were at last rewarded by being the first class to go through their four years of secondary schooling in the new Regional High School Building.


And thanks to their pioneering pressures on the school department, they leave in their wake some eleven hundred first through sixth graders properly housed in first-class school rooms in the Julia McCarthy, the Marion L. Towne and the New Elementary schools. Our supply of "grammar school" rooms has at last caught up to the demand - for this year !


The Class of '61 has made its impact felt on more than our physical facilities. Reflecting, in their increased numbers, a greater diversity of ability and interest than had previous classes, they pointed up the need for curriculum changes and additions, and for some type of grouping of classes geared to the special needs of various students. Their increased


64

interest in and competition for college admission, for example, is now reflected down the line to the elementary grades where conversational foreign language classes and an enrichment program for qualified students are two more steps to lengthen the "running start" needed nowadays for a successful leap from high school into college.


Since 1953, the school committee has encouraged curriculum study at every level; not only to meet the students' immediate needs but at every stage of planning instructional space and equipment as new schools are built. Further, our methods and materials must be constantly re-evaluated in response to expressed public interest in new educational theories, and eagerness to have "the latest thing" tried out in our own school system.


The first elementary curriculum guide was prepared by a faculty committee in 1957. So useful has it proved for both teachers and parents, that a far more comprehensive study, involving the entire elementary teaching staff, is now in process. To be done in a thorough and scholarly fashion such a project calls for full-scale research in every area of curriculum development. Hence, the study has been set up as a University Extension course under the auspices of the Massachusetts Department of Education, thus enabling those teachers who enroll in it as full time working participants to earn graduate credits. At its com- pletion the revised curriculum will be of great value to the entire school system, reflecting not only the philsophy and educational aims of the Acton school department, but incorporating as well the best and most promising of educational practices. The School Committee has been proud to give enthusiastic support to this pilot project in curriculum development.


What of the School Committee itself ? What has it done in ten years beside "support" and "encourage?" How has it responded to the double pressures of population increase and popular interest in the "School Department's Business?"


A review of Acton School Committee records during this mid-century decade points up a clear trend away from a "laissez-faire" attitude toward one of careful study and long-range planning.


The make-shift school housing scramble of the post-war years gave place in 1952 to a first attempt at drawing up a reliable estimate of predictable school building needs. We can laugh at the summary of this "expert" survey which asserts that "the attainment of a minimum enrollment of 500 pupils in grade IX through XII seems a remote possibility," (it will be that next fall!) while being grateful for the precedent it set for planning in advance and scheduling over a period of years an economically balanced school building program. This plan continues in effect, with school building needs projected now in the


65


THE TOWN OF ACTON


1970's, yet adjustable to unforeseen changes as they may occur from year to year. The Committee is grateful for the expert assistance given the school department in its long-range planning, by the town-wide studies being completed by the Acton Planning Board.


The tendency of the Committee to adopt changes in curriculum, in teachers salaries, in school policy, only under pressure of immediate circumstances, has gradually been replaced by the establishment of similar well-thought-out plans in these and other phases of its responsi- bility. The School Committee By-Laws and Rules and Regulations, which form the basic policy statement for the operation of the entire school department, have recently been revised and brought up to date. A flexible salary schedule for teachers and school administrators has been established with the support and cooperation of all those involved, which provides not only above-average recompense for professional services rendered, but allows for regular advancement, opportunities for graduate study, and leaves of absence for study and travel. It is this latter part of our employment policy, and the attitude it reflects, that attracts the type of teacher we want in the Acton Schools, more than mere pleasant working conditions and multiple "fringe benefits." Our present faculty and its aggregate qualifications amply confirm this.


There is, in the final analysis, only one area in which the School Committee feels that its progress has not been as steady as desirable in the past ten years. This is in the field of its relationship with the people it is here to serve - the parents of the school children. Elected by you and responsible to you, we often wish that your "Commendations and Recommendations" were brought to us directly as we meet for unit action. (We can act no other way.) We attempt always to be responsive to suggestions and requests seriously made by any representative group, whether it seeks a longer school year or a shorter school day, a football program or adult education. But unless you, our constituents, feel urgently enough to tell us what you want us to do for you or your children, we may unwittingly do what you want us not to. Please help us to do our job, which is to represent the citizens of Acton and so provide for their children the type of education they want at a cost they are glad to pay.

After conferring with Mrs. Lucas Gardiner of the Acton Town Report Committee and learning that the School Department is to be featured in the 1960 Town Report, I decided to give a resume of the schools for the past decade, 1950-1960.


Below is a list of the citizens of Acton who have served as School Committee members during the past ten years, and also the men and women who have served on the Acton-Boxborough Regional District School Committee since it was formed in 1955. Because these people have given so much time, energy and interest, the Acton Public Schools and the Regional School District have obtained an outstanding reputa- tion in the State.

Graphs, lists and commentary show the tremendous growth and various changes in the school department in the past ten years, and it is hoped that they will serve to answer questions relating to the schools. They cover the following subjects: town population, pre-primary enroll-


81

ment, school population, teacher increase, school budgets (maintenance and operation), courses added in the past ten years, colleges where our teachers earned their degrees, resume of graduating classes 1950-1960, guidance department accomplishments, major achievements, and increase in classrooms. Appreciation should be extended to the following boys and girls who compiled the school graphs for this town report: Judith Dill, Donna Files, Gordon Hall, Richard Nylander, Carol Schene, Roger Siciliano, and Ellen Taft.


This ten year report illustrates that the Town of Acton has more than double its population in the past five years. As a result it has been necessary to construct new buildings and additions to meet the needs of a growing school population. There is no doubt that this increase will continue and that it will be necessary to construct more schools in the very near future. The pre-primary enrollment shows that the entering classes in our first grades for the next five years will average 250 pupils or more and that an elementary school will be needed soon.


I have been fortunate in having outstanding cooperation from the various departments in the town, and at this time I should like to thank them for the support they have given to me and the school department. It is only by such cooperation that our schools can be improved, as we certainly cannot stand still in the vital field of education.
