As Chairman of the School Committee, whose purpose it is to formulate the policies for the School Department, it is my duty to discuss at this point certain pertinent phases of the operation of our public schools.


The effectiveness of our efforts have been, to a great extent, impeded again this year by the sombre aspect of the whole financial picture. The fiscal year just closed has fared no better than the preceding one, since it was found advisable again, at the annual appropriations meeting to have recom- mended a reduction of some $13,000 of the requested school budget.


It could be seen clearly at the time that a reduced budget would be totally inadequate to foster an unhampered school program for the greatest good of he greatest number of our school population. There remained but one course of action to follow: to appeal to the proper state agency for pro- tection of the inalienable rights of the School Committee whose members hold sacred the trust of the citizens who have elected them to their posts. However, all possible was done to avert for the town the adverse publicity of a law-suit.


As the fiscal year drew to a close, there was foreseen, as anticipated, a deficit in "Salaries" and "Other Expenses Account". There could not have been a reduction in an otherwise barely adequate personnel. There could not have been a reduction in the already barely adequate sup- plies. Moreover, normal current expenses had to be met as always. But unfortunately, maintenance had to be restricted. There could be little or no capital outlay, in spite of urgent need, as stressed in last year's report, and the equally urgent recommendations of the building inspectors.


The Special Town Meeting of December 23, 1946 was unwilling to ap- propriate the needed funds to meet the deficit, but voted the needed amount as an added item to the tax levy of 1947. All expenses of operation will be relatively heavy for several years, no doubt; school costs are a product of the times, and they are beyond your control and mine, just as they are in every other city and town.


The proposed budget for the coming year must be adopted as submitted in order to permit the proper and adequate operation of the School Department. The School Committee will pursue its policy of rendering the utmost service under existing conditions; the effectiveness of its decisions can be limited only hy restraining circumstances.


It must nevertheless follow that the highest possible scholastic standing must be maintained in every grade of our schools according to the best edu- cational practices. Likewise, the physical plant must be ameliorated, properly repaired, properly maintained in such a way that each pupil will benefit to the utmost of every educational opportunity, whether in the classroom or on the playground.


Moreover, following the uniformly state-wide and national trend, the educational personnel and other employees, upon duly submitted petitions, have been granted salary increases commensurate with the requirements of the


- -84 ---


times. It must be noted that any salary raise has been based on all available figures, plans and practices followed in towns of approximate size throughout the Commonwealth. Southbridge must at least maintain a reasonably safe position relative to its size and resources.


I wish at this time to express to my colleagues on the School Committee my deepest appreciation for their unfailing support. I am equally grateful to all the employees of the School Department for their cooperation and under- standing in our common endeavor.


Respectfully submitted, ARTHUR H. GAUMOND Chairman, School Committee


REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS


Mr. Arthur H. Gaumond


Chairman, School Committee


Southbridge, Massachusetts


Dear Mr. Gaumond:


I have the honor of submitting herewith a first annual report. This report is the sixty-second in the series of annual reports by the Superintendent of Schools.


Since I have had the privilege of being your Superintendent but three months, this can be only an acknowledgement of the situation on my part. Subsequent reports appended hereto, submitted by the heads of the various departments in the school system, will attest to the intense and successful activities within the schools under the able administration of my predecessor, Mr. Channing H. Greene.


It is but recently that the strain of war overshadowed the every effort of the school administration. What irony that Education should ever suffer privations when Education must be the bulwark and strength of our democratic ideals. The dawn of peace was to have significant implications; but the problems in a school system have not vanished, nor have they decreased in number, if they do perhaps differ in degree.


But Education must continue all the more earnestly if the future citizens and leaders of our community are to take their rightful places in a New World which is only now slowly emerging from the chaos of a terribly devastating war. Education has the urgent task of preparing our children to do their part as effective citizens in the restoration of this shattered world and the rebuilding of a meaningful peace.


To this very task, we, in the administration of public schools, dedicate our every effort and pledge our unswerving endeavor, that we may also justify the faith and trust placed in us by the citizens of the Community we serve. As your Superintendent, I will understand that it is the realization of this task before us that will challenge and exact from us our best effort which can only be on the utmost cooperation and understanding in this our common endeavor.


As you have already stated, it is the duty of your committee to formulate the policies of the School Department. The Superintendent of Schools is the executive officer of the School Committee; it is his duty to administer and direct the essence of those policies to their ralization. It will be by working in close harmony with every agency of the Community, as well as with every interested citizen who is willing to lend his support that we will see our efforts materialize.


A preliminary survey has revealed several problems on whose solution time and finances will have a direct bearing. Certain situations require im- mediate attention; others must invitably enter into a program that will extend


-85-


over a period of years. A constant study will be made of the scholastic standard in all our schools, as well as of the physical plant. Efficiency in meeting every demand must always be the keynote, with the assurance to every citizen that the tax dollar expended for the public schools is producing the utmost in desired results.


I wish to thank you, Mr. Chairman, for the privilege of presenting a first message. I have already had many occasions of realizing the support and co- operation of every member of the School Committee, of all the members of our various staffs, as well as of the many citizens it has already been my good fortune to meet, to all I extend my heartfelt appreciation.


Respectfully submitted, WILLIAM L. BOURGEOIS


Superintendent of Schools
