REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS


TO THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE AND CITIZENS OF ACTON:


Herewith is present my annual report as Superintendent of Schools for Acton and the Acton-Boxborough Regional School District.


The two most important problems facing American Public Schools are one, construction of needed classroom space, and two, finding the very best qualified teachers to instruct the children of this country. Acton, like any other growing community, is faced with these two major challenges.


HOUSING


Regional School


In January 1962 the fifteen room addition to the Regional High School was opened for occupancy. It accomodates 350 pupils bringing the capacity of the Regional High School to 1000 students. The original building opened its doors in September 1957 with a capacity of 650 pupils. At the start of the school year in September a total of 915 boys and girls were enrolled in Grade 7 through 12, or 85 pupils less than the capacity of the present building. In September 1963 it is expected that the enrollment will be 1050 pupils, or 50 pupils above capacity. The following is a breakdown of Regional High School en- rollment:

The Regional School Committee has purchased a parcel of land on Charter Road beyond the high school for the building and con- struction of a Regional Junior High School. From the figures above, it is apparent that plans for the start of this school should be formulated very soon. The building will be needed by the very latest in Septem- ber 1966.


Local Schools


The four room addition to the Julia L. McCarthy School was opened in September 1962. This completed the twelve room primary school that was originally built as an eight room school in 1952, with the four rooms to be added at a later date. Actually, this building replaces the three disbanded district schools in West, South and Acton Center. These three village schools had a total of 11 classrooms.


Land has been purchased (the Anunal Town Meeting in March 1962) on Arlington Street beyond Route 2 for the construction and equipping of a 20 room elementary school. Plans were presented to the town at a Special Town Meeting held on Monday, January 21, 1963. A breakdown of the local school enrollment indicates the real need for this school by September 1964. Presently we have 45 classrooms available in the elementary schools.

STAFFING OUR SCHOOLS


Along with the housing, hiring and retaining the best of teachers is a problem facing all communities regardless of size. In the past two years we have hired over 60 teachers. Many were hired because of increased enrollment, but the majority because of replacement. The


70


227th ANNUAL REPORT OF


high turnover of women teachers because of marriage, pregnancy or change in the husband's position is a constant problem. It is fortunate we have experienced principals and supervisors to train these new teachers and help them to adjust to our fine school system. Both our school committees, local and regional, have established salary schedules for our teachers comparable to the best school systems in the State. However, we have to live with the continued turnover of personnel. Our schools will continue to improve and be good only because of excellent teaching. To find these outstanding men and women is a continuing challenge to the Superintendent and School Committee. The School Committee has spent long hours in discussing ways and means to continue to improve our schools. The major achievements printed each year in the town report is an indication of this. Their main effort has been to prepare the boys and girls in our schools for the ever challenging world of tomorrow.

Conclusion


I personally think the Acton Public Schools and the Acton-Box- borough Regional High School have made tremendous progress in the past years, and it has been only through support, understanding, co- operation, and lovalty of the School Committee that this has been accomplished. I should like to express my gratitude to all the school personnel: our principals, teachers supervisors, secretaries, custodians and especially the various town committees who have worked very closely with our school committee for the continued improvement of our schools.
