Preventing young people from terminating their education involves much more than urging them to continue, we must continue to provide diversified educational experiences in which they can achieve success in school and in the world of work.


And in the report of the Guidance Director it is interesting to quote from part of his report concerning what happened to our 1963 graduates.


"The recent follow-up study of the Class of '63 revealed that former students are involved in varied school program and occupations. Forty- three percent are enrolled in some type of formal school programs. Of this group, sixteen percent attend four year colleges. The remainder are in business schools, nursing programs and other one and two year technical schools. Seventeen percent are involved in some type of clerical work. Nineteen percent are employed in other types of positions. Nine percent have entered the armed services. The remaining eight percent are still


154


undecided as to what they are going to do or are in the process of obtaining employment."


Education is not a static thing. The staff of the High School have been involved for the past two years in preparing for the evaluation carried out by the New England Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools sched- uled for March 1964. The High School was last evaluated in 1955. A re- quirement for continuing membership in the Association is a periodic exam- ination at least once in every ten years.


The single most important aspect of accreditation by the New England Association to individual students is the acceptance of our graduates by the colleges.


The High School Principal reports on this activity in his annual report as follows:


"The program for the evaluation of member schools in the New England Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools has been developing for several years. Reports of this development have been made from year to year."


"Since all schools must be evaluated within a ten year period, this school is scheduled for its evaluation next March. The heads of departments have spent many hours revising their respective courses of study. The evaluative criteria for all departments is slowly nearing completion. Certain members of the staff have served on visiting committees at other schools and four members of the staff are scheduled to serve in the evaluating of other schools during the next three months. The experience gained and the experience about to be gained by these teachers will be of great value to their respective departments, the high school in general, and in the school system as a whole."


In the elementary schools we have been carrying on a study in Reading. New reading textbooks and techniques are being evaluated in the classroom by the teacher, and the success of students using these new materials is being carefully analyzed.


Principals are planning regular visits to school systems that have achieved success in one or more areas of the elementary school curriculum. Careful evaluation of the results these schools have obtained will be deter- mined by our staff before recommending adoption by our school system.


In this time of almost explosive changes in curriculum development, our school system will benefit greatly from the addition to our staff of a Curriculum Coordinator. Miss Dorothy Woodhams has been elected to this position and brings to the position a great deal of successful experience. Miss Woodhams will be available to all departments for the development of new curricula and for the evaluation of curriculum study and tryouts in our school system.


155


In conclusion, this quotation from the late President, John F. Kennedy, seems most appropriate in this summary of our educational efforts.


"The future promise of any nation can be directly measured by the present prospects of its youth. This Nation - facing increasingly complex economic, social, and international challenges - is increasingly dependent on the opportunities, capabilities, and vitality of those who are soon to bear its chief responsibilities. Such attributes as energy, a readiness to question, imagination, and creativity are all attributes of youth that are also essential to our total national character. To the extent that the Nation is called upon to promote and protect the interests of our younger citizens, it is an investment certain to bring a high return, not only in basic human values but in social and economic terms."


All of us who work in the Tewksbury Public Schools will continue to strive to provide educational opportunities so that each student can develop his talents to the maximum possible extent.

1964 Increases


The $231,871.77 represents an increase in the 1964 request for schools of about 16% over the amounts appropriated in 1963. The increase can be explained by the following: added personnel for the new Junior High School building opened in September 1963, costs of maintaining and operating this new building and the salary revision to place teachers on step com- mensurate with their training and experience. This salary plan was adopted by the School Committee last year and this will be the second year of its operation.

PUBLIC AND VOCATIONAL SCHOOLS


Another area of School Committee responsibility covers Tuition and Transportation to Public and Vocational Schools outside of Tewksbury for pupils who cannot be served adequately in Tewksbury. Some of these pupils are receiving specialized vocational training at schools such as Lowell Trade High School or Essex Agricultural School. Another group of pupils is handicapped and receives education and training to help overcome the various handicaps.

ADULT EDUCATION PROGRAM


Most of the classes are in the field of Evening Practical Arts under the supervision of the Massachusetts Department of Education. A limited begin- ning has been made in classes in general education. The program is growing each year. This response is reflected in the Adult Education Request which covers a full calendar year and makes provisions for the added courses requested by interested adults. Included in this account are funds for paying tuition for some Tewksbury residents who are receiving training in other towns.

MONIES RETURNED TO TOWN


The laws of municipal finance in Massachusetts differ from those in most other states. A major difference is in the area of reimbursements for activities carried on in the schools. The Town receives each year amounts of money for school aid based on the number of children from seven to sixteen years in age resident in the Town. In addition there are reimburse- ments for State Wards, Transportation, and several other programs. The formulas for determining the amounts of reimbursement are usually based on a proportion of the amounts actually spent.


The applications for reimbursements are made to the Department of Education. After being approved the applications are forwarded to the Treasurer of the Commonwealth for payment. The payments are then sent to the Town Treasurer and are by law deposited in the E & D Account. These funds are not spent by the School Committee but are available to the Town for spending for any purpose. The effect of this procedure is to have all of the funds needed for schools raised by taxation even though the Town will receive over three hundred thousand dollars in aid and reimbursement on account of schools. A breakdown of the 1964 Requests and estimated reimbursement is shown below.
