REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE


To the citizens of the Town of Reading, the School Committee submits its annual report.


During the present year there have been problems regarding the schools on which the Committee has had to make important recom- mendations to the Town. Foremost among these, of course, follows earlier recommendations and suggestions relating to new buildings in the school system. A year ago we recommended that a new high school be considered, as originally planned, to be built as an addition to the present Junior High School.


At the last Annual Town Meeting, in March, 1944, we felt that since the expressed general opinion was against a high school being built on the same property as the Junior High School, we should have, before spending any of the money appropriated at that time for preliminary plans, a complete survey made by an outside authority that would cover our entire building program.


This survey was made, and one of the recommendations was that the high school should be a separate unit located in that part of the Town which would allow enough land for all outside activities. The recommendations on the elementary school more or less followed both the location and size of the plans we already had under consideration.


Although it is not possible to build until after the war, we feel it is necessary at this time to recommend the taking of land for a high school and an elementary school, having the necessary appropria- tions made to allow us to begin our plans. Without the definite knowl- edge of location we naturally cannot start any actual plans.


As both the State Department of Education and the authorities in Washington requested, at least two years ago, information from all towns as to their needed building plans following the end of the war, we have felt the definite need of completing plans as soon as possible, so that they may be ready in case there is a Federal grant. Figures so far submitted to the Town by the School Committee, as well as figures given by the Budget Planning Committee, have not been based on any Federal grant. Under the PWA during the depression, the Federal grant amounted to 45% of the cost; therefore, it will be natural to assume that any grant for public buildings given after the war will be at least as large as this. We have been given to under- stand that the communities that have their plans ready when they are needed will be the ones to receive first consideration from Washington.


A few years ago we made a slight adjustment in our salary schedule, but have realized for several years the necessity of making further adjustments that would recognize the need, as well as the fairness, of having teachers in the elementary grades on the same basis as teachers in the junior high and high schools. A thorough study of this has been in process during the last year or two by the Reading


131


Teachers' Club, and this coming school year we are planning to put into effect the new schedule, as explained in the Superintendent's Report. Many other towns adjacent to ours and comparable with ours have made similar changes this year, so that about all we are doing in making our change is to hold our present basis in comparison with competitive towns.


We take pride in our faculty and wish to be able to maintain the same high standard which we now feel we have.


As the expenditures for maintenance of buildings and grounds have been very limited since the end of the WPA work, we find it neces- sary this year to show a few increases in our budget to cover what we consider needed items of upkeep.


Due to increased registration at the Prospect Street School, it was necessary to move the fourth grade from there to the Junior High School. The outlook for this coming fall is that we may need to take an extra room at the Junior High for an additional elementary grade. If so, there will be minor changes needed at the Junior High School, so that more room may be made available to continue the present Junior High School program.


Both at the Junior High School and the Senior High School there has been a large increase in the number of pupils buying their lunches. This has made it necessary to increase our school lunch appropriation, but, of course, this money all comes back to the Town.


We are this year returning to the Town the following amounts from the various accounts :


Salaries


General Maintenance


$ 1,560.19 7.81


Transportation 279.50


$ 1,847.50


School Lunches


$ 2.36


Industrial Tuition


$ 547.39


As Miss Margaret Canty and Mrs. Charles Holcomb moved from Reading, we regretfully accepted their resignations. To those vacan- cies we appointed :


Mrs. Walter Earley on August 14, 1944 Mrs. Henry Milton on October 16, 1944


The terms of Dr. Merle W. Wescott and Mrs. Walter Earley expire this year. The regular expiration date of the term filled by Mrs. Henry Milton is 1946.


Respectfully submitted, School Committee.
