Edward R. Millen's Resignation as School Committee.
During my term of office on the Boxford School Committee I have tried to perform the duties of that office for the best interest of the school children of the town and to keep up a progress- i've policy. As the townspeople at this time does not care to go along with the program as set up by the school committee and I cannot contend with a standstill policy I hereby Tender my resignation as a member of the Borford School Committee to become effective March 6, 1944, Edward R. Millen A true copy Altest John W. Parkhurst. Town Clerk.
Seth Low Kelsey. East Bouford, Mars. February 28, 1944. Mr. John W. Parkhurst, Town Clerk Town Hall
Seth L. Kelley's resignation as School Committee
Buford, Massachusetts.
I he Boxford School Committee recently niva imously voted to designate Georgetown High School as the official High School for our town, and the one To which transportation would be furnished.
This decision was made after careful study of all factors involved . I voted to make this change for the following principal reasons :-
First: 30 place the high school pupils of the entire town at the same school in our superintendenty union and therefor under the direct supervision of our superintendent making possible a closer
43
1944.
check on their welfare and progress. Second, Jo place them at a school at which the B oxford School Committee could actively assist in promoting improved methods of education and discipline and in providing increasingly complete and superior facilities and equipment. This is very important now and will be increase ingly so in the postwar years if our pupils are to have full advantage of the new methods of education that have already been and will further be developed.
Third :- To place them in acompletely modern and fire proof school building entirely devoted to high school education and having adequate room for enlargement of the school. Boxford is a rap- idly growing town, and even now our pupils would comprise about one-third of the total enrollment at Georgetown High School under the proposed arrangement.
Fourth :- To facilitate and improve the transpor- tation of our pupils. It was planned that each day one bus would wait late enough in the after- noon so that those pupils who wished would participate in athletics, dramatics or other extra-curricular activities without having to provide their own transportation hom. This is not feasible with our pupils enrolled in widely separated schools.
The school departments in the towns involved were notified of our action and the Georgetown School Committee voted to admit our pupils to Georgetown High School starting in the fall of 1944. Funds to provide for new equipment and for enlargement of their teaching staff have been asked for, and Georgetown Finance Committee has given it's approval to their request.
At the request of some of the parents The Borford School Committee has been represented at meetings
44
1944.
at each end of the town, at which these and other reasons were given for their action. From the dis- cussion at these meetings and with parents at other times it seems evident to me that a majority of Boxford parents do not approve this action of the school committee, and will not support it by sending their children to Georgetown High School.
A duly elected school committee has very wide and independent howers to act as it thinks best for the welfare of the town. It is, therefor, all the more important that in major matters of policy its actions should meet with the town's approval.
I believe that when a member of the school committee feels that his stand on such a major matter of policy is not approved by a majority of those concerned, he should either reconsider his decision on resign from office so that he may be replaced by someone whose ideas will accord more closely with those of his fellow citizens.
I firmly believe the decision of the school committee was a sound one, and that to reconsider would be inconsistent with This belief as well as being unfair to the Georgetown School Committee, whose friendly and willing assurances of cooper ation were given in all good faith.
Therefor I hereby offer my resignation as a member of the Boxford'S chool Committee, to beeffer tive one week from date.
It has been a privilege to serve the town as a member of this committee, and the citizens of town may be assured of my continued interest in all matters of education affecting the children of school age in Boxford.
