The lighting of three classrooms in the Danahy School has been improved by the installation of fluores- cent lights.


196


The window shades in the Danahy School, the High School and Agawam Center School have been repaired or replaced as needed.


The proposed repairs and replacements for 1949 will include painting and miscellaneous repairs in all buildings. A new roof at the Springfield Street School is badly need- ed. This roof has been patched each year for the past several years and we feel that it will be a saving to the town to install a new roof this year.


The boys' toilet facilities in the Springfield Street School are in a deplorable condition and need extensive repairs.


The installation of fluorescent lights in a few rooms at the Danahy and High Schools will further our program of gradually improving the lighting in our schools.


The boys' toilet, shower, and, locker rooms in the High School should be remodeled. This is a major repair item.


A few years ago the town voted equal pay for men and women on our salary schedule which went into effect September, 1947. All of our teachers are now on an equal basis according to their training and experience. This fall, the salary schedule has been revised to include the principal, assistant principal and supervisors. The com- mittee is glad to report that we have had no controversy with our teachers, which several of our nearby cities and towns have had. We feel that this is due to our adoption of the salary schedule.


The school committee feels that we have a fine staff of school officials, principals and teachers in all of our schools. We wish to extend our appreciation to them for their fine cooperation this past year. We wish to thank the janitors of all the schools for their cooperation and for the work done this year. To the citizens of the town for their cooperation and help in all our school programs, we wish to extend our thanks.

Report of the Superintendent of Schools


December 31, 1948


To the Members of the School Committee and to the Citizens of the Town of Agawam:


I herewith submit my third annual report as your Superintendent of Schools.


We bring our children into the world and look for- ward to the future with hope. Each one of us wants for our own child, or children, the very best opportunities for training and experience - that is our objective.


OUR SCHOOL LUNCHROOM PROGRAM


In Agawam, we have built up one of the most com- pletely developed lunchroom programs existing in the en- tire state. During the year, representatives of other communities have come here to gain from the experience of visiting our school dining rooms and with the operators of our program. It began three years ago at the Feeding Hills School under the sponsorship of the Parent-Teacher Association of the school. Since that time, through the splendid cooperation of many local citizens, the develop- ment has been rapid. We cannot underestimate the as- sistance of the various cooperating groups, particularly the various school Parent-Teacher Associations. Today, every school in our community serves its children a com- plete meal at noon at a cost of 20 cents. This program, which is conducted by the school department, is self-sup- porting and self-sufficient as a unit of our schools. The average layman probably does not have a conception of the magnitude of the program as it operates. Approxi- mately 800 are served daily in a program offering employ- ment to eighteen full-time and part-time workers, all at no cost to the taxpayer.

ORGANIZATION OF OUR ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS


We are all vitally interested in our elementary organ- ization, present and future, for here we are feeling the brunt of an ever-increasing birthrate and the rapid growth of Agawam as a residential community. The table which follows gives us a portion of the picture.

New residents moving into the community add to the above figures which show that the high point in our first grade enrollments may be reached about 1953. Increasing enrollments bring up the problem of housing but not that problem alone. An increase in the number of pupils causes a resulting need of more teachers, additional books, more supplies, etc., all resulting in a higher cost.

Our September, 1948, enrollment in all schools topped that of September, 1947, by 122 pupils. Our estimate for September, 1949, indicates that we will grow by about 100 or more over September, 1948, and have a three-year growth of over 300. Think of what that means in total costs of education in Agawam. The growth of school population has represented a considerable amount of the increase in school costs in recent years.


REPAIRS IN OUR SCHOOLS IN 1948


Your committee, during the past few years, has en- deavored to plan its repairs so that it can catch up on the backlog of the depression and war years and still not place too great a burden in any one year. In 1948, your com- mittee planned and completed the following repairs, on many of which much money was saved through the in- dustry of our janitorial staff.


Feeding Hills:


Emergency repairs to one boiler Painted the walls and floors of the lunchroom Connected the building to the new sewer


Springfield Street School:


Installed gas water heater and gas stove in kitchen Painted the walls and ceilings of two classrooms Painted the walls and ceilings of all corridors Extensive emergency repairs to one boiler


Danahy School:


Fluorescent lights installed in three classrooms Painted the walls and ceilings of two classrooms Painted the walls of one other classroom


202


Painted the ceilings of the basement


Painted the walls and floors of the basement Painted the front stairwells


Repaired and replaced old shades in some rooms


Center School:


Emergency repairs to the school roof


Painted the walls and ceilings of three classrooms


Painted the walls & ceilings of the first floor corridors


Painted the outside trim of the building


Painted the floors and walls of the boiler room

Painted the walls and ceilings of the addition, second floor only


Painted basement, lunchroom, first and second floor corridors


Repaired or replaced old shades


Emergency major repairs on the boiler walls of all three boilers


Installed new gas water heater and range in the cafeteria


It is very commendable that your committee com- pleted the above repairs on a budget of $8,169.19 for re- pairs and replacements.


REPAIRS PLANNED FOR 1949


Your committee has planned the following repairs for 1949 for which it is asking the sum of $11,800 in its regu- lar budget.


Feeding Hills:


None but emergency repairs


Springfield Street School:


Replace the old roof with a new one Paint the ceilings and walls of two classrooms Renovate the one classroom not now in use Renovate the boys' toilet facilities


Replace or repair shades as needed


203


Danahy School:


Install new fluorescent lights in the first and second floor corridors


Paint the ceilings and walls of two classrooms


Replace or repair shades as needed

Install fluorescent lights in four rooms


Install new flags in twelve rooms


Replace or repair shades as needed


Under a special article, your committee is asking the townspeople whether or not they wish to have the com- mittee make major renovations in the high school boys' toilet facilities. The committee believes that it should re- ceive your guidance on whether to make these improve- ments this year or next. All having information on the situation will agree as to its need. For this purpose, $18,000 is asked.

THE NEW FEEDING HILLS SCHOOL


At a special town meeting held on December 15, 1948, the citizens of our community voted unanimously to pro- ceed with the construction of a new school for the Feed- ing Hills area of Agawam bringing to a successful culmi- nation the planning and labors of the building, survey and school committees. Few of our citizens realize the work which has been donated to public service by the members of these committees in the past two or three years, as they strove to fill the need for a new school to replace the obsolete structure erected in 1874. It is the hope of those


205


working on the planning to have the building ready for occupancy by January 1, 1950.


The building committee has applied for state assist- ance under the legislation described in the following para- graphs.


NEW STATE AID FOR SCHOOL CONSTRUCTION


In June, 1948, the Massachusetts Legislature en- acted Chapter 645, Acts of 1948, to provide financial as- sistance to towns and cities in the construction of school buildings. The financial assistance will consist of "con- struction grants," the first of which will be payable in November, 1949. They will, in each case, amount to from 20 to 50 per cent of the approved cost of construction. Thus, if the town constructs on a cash basis, the con- struction grants will be paid in five annual installments.


The formula for the determination of a construction grant is an equalizing one in that it provides more liberal grants to poor towns and cities than to the wealthy ones. The formula is as follows, except that no grant is to be less than 20 per cent of the approved cost of construction and none is to be over 50 per cent:


Building cost multiplied by Average equalized valuation per pupil for the state divided by the


Average equalized valuation per pupil for the town equals Construction Grant


The equalized valuation of each town and city is de- termined by the state legislature. "Per pupil" means per pupil, net average membership. The latter includes all school children who reside in the town or city under con- sideration regardless of the towns in which they attend school.


This statute creates an unpaid School Building As- sistance Commission to administer the act. Three mem- bers of the Commission are appointed by the Governor and two by the State Board of Education for staggered terms of five years. As their executive officer, the Com- mission will choose an administrator. The legislature ap- propriated $25,000 for the administration of the act in 1948.


In Massachusetts, most towns pay for the construc- tion of school buildings by the issuing of serial notes or bonds which are payable over a period of 10, 15, or 20 years. Since these construction grants will be paid by


206


the state in annual installments over the same terms of years, the financial impingement upon the state will be a gradual one.


A recent survey indicated the total urgent school- building needs of the state up to 1958 to be about $142,- 000,000. If one quarter of the needs are met in approxi- mately equal amounts in the next ten years, the construc- tion would total about $35,500,000. Since the median of the construction grants is about 35 per cent of the ap- proved cost of construction, the grants for the ten-year period would total about $12,000,000. If the average term of years for the school serial notes or bonds is 15 years, the amount of the construction grants payable by the state to the towns and cities the first year, 1949, would be $800,000 and $1,600,000 in the second year, etc. The peak annual load for the state, to be reached in 15 years, would be about $12,000,000.


During the 1930's when the Federal Government was subsidizing the erection of schools through the PWA and WPA up to 40 per cent of the cost, not nearly one quarter of the towns and cities took advantage of the opportunity. Therefore, it may be reasonable to estimate that not over one quarter of the urgently needed school buildings will be actually undertaken by the towns and cities under this new Chapter 645, Acts of 1948.


It is hoped that we can qualify for approximately 40 per cent of the cost of our building from the state.


STATE AID FOR EDUCATION


Under legislation passed by the legislature of 1948, Agawam will receive, in 1949, additional state funds to help us support local education. These receipts will be sent to the town treasurer and may be used by the asses- sors to offset the increasing costs of education.

BAND AND INSTRUMENTAL PROGRAM IN OUR SCHOOLS


One of the finest developments in our schools has been our band and instrumental program now under the direction of Mr. Harold Crotty. The success of our pro- gram in the elementary and junior high schools assures


207


the future development and success of the high school program. Through the splendid efforts of a committee made up of citizens, pupils and school personnel, the sum of $2500 was raised in three months for the purchase of band uniforms for the high school band. We will never forget the generosity of organizations and individuals who cooperated to help us in the development of this project.


INVENTORY OF OUR BAND EQUIPMENT


A report from the school department indicates that the various elementary schools and the junior-senior high school own band and orchestra instruments and equip- ment valued at a total of $5656.30. This material has been gathered in recent years through donation and through the cooperation of Parent-Teacher as well as other civic organizations within the community. School money-raising programs have also assisted materially.

In September, 1948, when Mr. Raymond Harris be- gan his service as full-time director of guidance and place- ment, one of the most progressive, forward-looking steps was taken in our schools. Guidance is based on the prem- ise that human beings need help. It cannot be haphazard. It must be an organized program with emphasis on coun-


209

seling. It is the type of assistance which can be given to individuals to help them better to understand them- selves and their needs and to formulate plans for action under good direction. Guidance is a broadening of the basic objective which is to aid our young people in choos- ing an occupation, preparing themselves for it, finding an opening for it, and building a career of efficiency and success.

17. That 67 per cent of the school budget in 1948 went for teacher salaries ?


18. That the town has an equalized valuation of $7,365 for each pupil in our schools ?


CONCLUSION


I wish to commend to you the reports of my associ- ates which follow directly.


To our citizens, we wish to express our appreciation for your cooperation and support of our schools, both fi- nancially and morally.


To our teachers, principals, janitors, lunchroom em- ployees, and to all others who participate in the operation of our schools, we express gratification for their work.


We wish, too, to thank our pupils for their fine spirit of work. It is because of their fine attitudes that we in Agawam have a system which is second to none.


May your superintendent close by expressing appre- ciation for the hard work done by your school committee in 1948. The committee met monthly in regular meetings and held many special meetings, all of which were well attended and lasted several hours. Yours has been an active committee and it has been a pleasure to work with them.


May we look ahead to another fine, constructive and progressive year of achievement.


Respectfully submitted.


STANLEY W. WRIGHT Superintendent of Schools
