The School Budget
The Town Meeting of March, 1949, voted the School Depart- ment the total amount of $442,279.71, which was $39,000 more than the original Estimate of Expenditures, approved by the School Committee on December 6, 1948.
The results were as follows:
Salaries
All Other Expenses Total
Original Request
$336,862.31
$66,417.40
$403,279.71
Town Meeting Vote
$375,862.31
$66,417.40 $442,279.71
This increase of $39,000 was for a salary increase for Teach- ers, and it was obtained directly by them on a "substitute mo-
19
tion" on the Town Hall floor, following an appeal to the voters, based on the amount of New State Aid to be received by the Town of Southbridge by virtue of the Act of the State Legis- lature in June, 1948.
The actual expenditures for the year 1949 are as follows:
Salaries
School Budget $375,862.31
Actual Expenditures $335,254.06
Balance $40,608.25
All Other Expenses $ 66,417.40
$ 66,415.88 $ 1.52
N. B. To the salaries balance must be added the Federal Funds in the amount of $4,838.58, making a Salaries balance of $45,446.83 or a "balance on hand" December 31, 1949 of $45,448.35, which will revert to the E. & D. Account of the Town.
The Estimate of Expenditures for the fiscal year 1950 as ap- proved by the School Committee on December 6, 1949, shows, therefore, the following decreases:
1949
1950 $351,337.82
Decrease
Salaries
$375,862.31
All Other Expenses $66,417.40
$ 65,475.00
$24,524.49 $ 1,042.40
The decrease in salaries is accounted for by the limits set by the School Committee to the "Salary Schedule" proposed by the Teacher's Association, one of which was the elimination of "Service Pay." The amount includes normal yearly increments. The amount of "All Other Expenses" takes into account a nec- essary but reasonable repair and maintenance program.
State Aid for Schools
It is now possible to talk of State Aid with tangible figures. It needs also to be pointed out that this "State Aid" is a "Redis- tribution of State Income Tax," based on a definite formula, re- ceived by the Town of Southbridge on account of its day high and elementary schools and this state aid does not interfere in any way with reimbursements on account of the trade school.
The actual "State Aid" received by the Town of South- bridge for the year 1949, was $88,719.00 or over $5,000 more than was originally forecast. Since the amount received in 1948 was only $13,713.60, this is an actual increase of $75,005.40 for the Town of Southbridge, on account of schools.
Further legislation will be sought in 1951 to increase still more the amount of State Aid in order to make more tangible the "relief to the Taxpayer."
20
Tuition Rates
As is customary, the School Committee in December, 1949, set the per capita tuition rates, effective January 1, 1950, for the ensuing year. The tuition rate is determined according to a definite formula specified by the State Department of Education and based on the Actual Expenditures for Support, exclusive of general control and transportation for the School Year ending the previous June 30th. A comparison of tuition rates for the last four years points unmistakably to the tremendous rise in school costs:
1947
1948 $145.00
1949 $179.00
1950
High School
$135.00
$213.06
Elementary School $110.00
$120.00
$141.00
$161.36
Salary Schedule
By the Citizens' vote at the Town Meeting in March, 1949, the salaries account in the school budget was raised by $39,000 for the purpose of granting the teachers a Salary Raise, accord- ing to a schedule developed by the Teachers' Association. The School Committee, after several meetings, voted to set the following maximums:
Non-Degree (60 pts.)
$2,900
Non-Degree (90 pts.)
3,000
Bachelor's Degree (120 pts.)
3,200
Master's Degree (150 pts.)
3,500
The Trade School maximum salaries of $3,440 and $3,640, depending on requirements by the State Department remained unchanged by vote of the School Committee on December 6, 1949.
The total actual increase by the new schedule for teachers in the school system, as of June, 1949, amounted to $19,894.29. The School Committee had further voted to make all salary in- creases effective September 1, 1949. Therefore there has been only one-third of the above amount disbursed for salaries in the fiscal year 1949. New teachers entering service in September, 1949, benefited by the new salary schedule. The Physical Edu- cation Department was greatly expanded and the increase in the salaries of coaches took a considerable sum.
The new salary schedule has been given some consideration for teaching as a profession and comes a step nearer to permit- ting teachers to maintain the standard of living that is expected of them, which necessarily includes "professional improvement" for which considerable disbursement must be made. There is much controversy as to "how much should a teacher be paid." It is a matter that can be settled arbitrarily by saying "that teachers should be paid only what the town can afford to pay
21
them" ... Or should not teachers who are doing the same job in a town, as other teachers are doing in other cities or towns, re- ceive the same salary, and not a salary of three to four hundred or more dollars less ... Teaching is still a profession and it is a profession that needs to be given much more consideration in many, many respects. All we ask, and I repeat, is the "fighting chance" to do the job that you expect of us ...
Transportation of Pupils
To the existing policy of providing transportation for pupils in grades one through four who live a distance of one mile or more from school, and for pupils in grades five through twelve who live one and one-half or more miles from school, the School Committee voted on September 19, 1949, to grant transportation to pupils in Kindergarten, or in a similar grade in the parochial schools, who live three-quarters of a mile from school.
Pupils given transportation as of January 1, 1950:

The School Department spent for Transportation during the year 1949, the sum of $15,284.89 as follows: School Busses (Lepain) [Including 2 Worcester
Street Railway busses sublet by Mr. LePain
besides 3 busses of his own]
$13,610.10
Taxi and Small Car (Bourdelais)
1,575.74
Taxi (Veteran's Taxi)
82.55
Total
$15,284.89

A sub-committee of the School Committee has conducted a survey, the results of which are to propose that the Town of Southbridge purchase and operate its own busses at a figure considerably less than the above. Much more study must be given to the problem.
Expansion of Pupil Services
It has been gratifying this past year to have had many of our plans and projects materialize. Pupil services denote those facilities that are an amelioration to the curriculum, as well as those activities which are often called extra-curricular.
1. The establishment of Kindergartens which were finally opened in September, 1949, has won approval from all quarters. There are presently 80 youngsters in 4 ses- sions who are being initiated to the rudiments of school- ing. As facilities are developed we will have reason to be all the more proud of our Kindergartens.
2. The re-establishment of Guidance on a full-time basis has filled a long-felt want. That is a service which is essential to a modern school department. The Guid- ance Director's report is worthy of a great deal of study.
3. The program of Health and Safety and Physical Edu- cation in the Elementary Schools became very popular from the start. Many phases are yet to be developed but the after-school activities in Physical Education has already begun to develop that idea of good sportsman- ship of which we need so much in the world today. The Director's report is worthy of note.
4. The Audio-Visual Education program has made a step forward with the addition of a Director on at least a half-time basis. In spite of a long process of reorganiza- tion, an appropriate program is being developed. And as equipment is made available to that department, a program worthy of the needs and interests of our school population in all grade levels, will be a reality. Our endeavors will be limited also for lack of time in the present set-up.
By contrast to the expansion of services noted above, it was unfortunate for the school system to lose its elementary super- visor. The several phases of the job have been taken up as fa- cilities permit. One of the phases is testing. It has been pos- sible to meet our needs: One of the principal needs of tests is for Grade Placement for those pupils who enter our elementary schools from out of Town or by transfer from another school in Town.
23
It must be pointed out that a test, whether to determine achievement or mental ability, gives a good indication of what a pupil has done or what a pupil can do. Of course they are not infallible: There is always the "margin of probable error," but they are nevertheless an indication for the principal and the teacher of what we can expect from a pupil.
From September to December, 1949, the following tests were very ably administered by Mrs. Evangeline Towse, Special Class Teacher.
Mental Ability Tests
Individual 58
Group 220
Achievement Tests 141
Total
419
An individual test report has been made in duplicate and a copy has been placed in the Cumulative Record Card of the respective pupil.
The few considerations made above are only an insight into the vast field of educational administration-only an observa- tion on a few topics of prime importance concerning our schools. All problems cannot be even outlined in these few pages of a Town Report. It will be only when all interested parents and patrons, individuals or groups, face squarely the problems with which we are confronted that we will arrive at a solution on a basis of mutual respect and confidence.
In conclusion I wish to express my sincere appreciation to the entire personnel of the School Department for their loyalty and cooperation, as well as for their conscientious and efficient work during this past year.
To the Citizens of Southbridge I give my heartfelt thanks for their constructive criticism and for their cooperation and assistance in meeting and solving the many problems of the school year.
We are equally indebted to the officers of the other town departments who have always been willing to help us by pool- ing their respective facilities.
Respectfully submitted,
WILLIAM L. BOURGEOIS, Superintendent of Schools.
