REPORT OF SCHOOL BUILDING COMMITTEE
It was the intention of the School Building Committee to close its account and forward all necessary documents to the Massachusetts School Building Assistance Com- mission for approval by October 1. This date was set so that the State reimbursement would be received by the Town during the calendar year of 1952.
In the course of construction of the school some of the sub-contractors were not paid by the general contractor and the law of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts pro- vides that in such cases liens may be filed on the Town Treasurer against the contractor building the school. The law further provides that the Town Treasurer shall hold funds due the contractor to the amount of these liens until the same has been determined in court and the liens enforced. For this reason the building account cannot be closed and sent to the Massachusetts School Building Commission for the reimbursement.
Three hundred and twenty-eight thousand dollars has been credited to the School Building Account. An ac- counting of the amount spent to date is as follows:
Architect
$13,649.36

2. A child whose sixth birthday occurs in the two months after December 31st may be admitted the pre- ceding September if readiness for school can be dem- onstrated by means of appropriate tests. Parents having a child whom they wish to be examined under this rule are required to make application to the Superintendent of Schools on or before August 15th preceding the opening of school in September. A special form will be furnished for this purpose upon written request from the parent.
CLOSING OF SCHOOLS
It is the policy of the School Committee to close schools only under the severest weather conditions or on such occasions when it is dangerous to operate school buses. At other times, parents are expected to use their own Judgment in sending children to school. When a decision to close schools has been made, this information will be broadcast through the courtesy of radio stations WBZ, WNBH and WBET. The no-school signal will also be given on the local fire warning apparatus. This signal is two short blasts sounded three times.
