REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE
On May 31, 1951, Mr. Stephen G. Bean retired as Superinten- dent of Schools after twenty years of service. He carries with him the best wishes of the School Committee, citizens, teachers, and former pupils who were in his charge.
With his retirement the Town of Wilmington was allowed to withdraw from the superintendency union, leaving the Towns of Middleton and Tewksbury to share the services of the new super- intendent.
Mr. Thomas L. Rivard was elected as Union Superintendent by the joint school committee of the two towns and assumed his duties on July 1. Under this arrangement Tewksbury now has the services of the superintendent for four days of each week. The salary of the secretary and office expenses are paid proportionately by the two towns.
Mrs. Thelma Whitehouse of Tewksbury was elected to the position of secretary to the office of superintendent of schools.
The Town of Middleton has loaned us twenty-eight desks and chairs for use in the Foster School, and equipment for use in the superintendents office.
The Rinehart Functional Handwriting System has been adopted for use in our schools. This system makes it possible for the town to have expert supervision of handwriting at a fraction of the cost of a full-time handwriting supervisor.
The new schools are progressing according to schedule and should be in use for the fall term. Extensive repairs will have to be made to the present Shawsheen School, which will remain in operation.
During the summer numerous repairs were made at the High School addition. The plumbing and heating repairs in the elemen- tary schools have continued to be expensive.
The work of our School Lunch Program continues to be out- standing. However, due to the continued increase in the cost of food, it is necessary to raise the price of meals from fifteen to twenty cents, effective January 2. This is still low, as many schools are charging twenty-five cents.
In the High and Foster Schools, under the direction of Jessie Winter 81,146 type A and B lunches have been served; 4845 bottles of milk sold to children bringing lunches; while 113 free lunches have been provided.
116
Reimbursements from the Federal Government amounted to $5,757.50.
In the Shawsheen School, under the direction of Evelyn Farrell, 29,667 type B lunches have been served; 3759 bottles of milk sold to children bringing lunches; 1417 free lunches have been provided.
Reimbursements from the Federal Government amounted to $1,653.62.
While our remarks are all too brief to cover the various subjects, our superintendent will provide factual reports for your serious study. We recommend that you divide equally your thinking between (1) our end product - our graduates and future citizens, and (2) the financial cost. Our plan is to give the student the best education possible with consideration for the school personnel and at a reasonable cost to the taxpayers. The best way to do this is to have efficiently operated schools. The faculty and citizens must set high but well balanced goals and help us attain them.
The School Committee recommends the sum of $194,511.00 to be appropriated for the schools in 1952. This amount represents a gross per pupil cost of $184 each and is based upon the following budget:
