The largest single item contributing to the over-all increase of $286,749 in this year's budget is the salary account. This reflects the total impact for the addition of 22 new teachers in September of 1965 and one third of the total annual salary for 21 new teachers next September. Salary in- creases voted in the 1965 budget had a total effect in this year's budget. In addition to this, new salary schedules have been voted for most school personnel. These increases for the past 2 years, in addition to regular annual increments this year, amount to approximately $85,000 in the 1966 budget. The 40 plus new teachers over a 2 year period mentioned pre- viously added approximately $120,000 to this year's budget.
Under other expenses there has been an increase of approximately $80,000. Increased enrollment means increased costs for books, supplies and materials. We have been advised that paper and similar educational sup- plies can be expected to take a "jump in price" of from 10% - 15% this year. Transportation costs have increased almost $40,000 in this year's budget. An increase of close to $20,000 has been reflected in the maintenance account. Our school buildings which were constructed in the last 7 to 11 years are beginning to require a great deal of maintenance. Repair and maintenance costs at the Memorial High School are very high. The heating system in that building is a constant source of trouble and expense. When the high school was constructed, construction costs for materials and specifications were held to absolute minimum. This type of economy is now resulting in high maintenance costs.

The School Committee should be complimented for the careful study they made relative to teachers' salaries in Tewksbury and surrounding communities. The study revealed that Tewksbury was not retaining its new younger teachers after two or three years of service. The study also showed that Tewksbury's minimum and maximum salaries for teachers were low when compared to the towns with which we compete for teachers. The Committee, ever cognizant of increased costs and the effect on the tax rate deliberated carefully and with vision before voting a new salary schedule which increased the minimum salary by $200 and gave an extra service increment of $200 after step 3.
The School Committee is to be commended for establishing the new salary schedule which should do a great deal to attract and retain capable experienced teachers in Tewksbury.
The newly adopted schedule, effective September 1, 1966, is shown below.

The following table of figures compares selected statistics pertaining to operating the Tewksbury Public Schools for the past five years and the calendar year 1966. Your interest is directed to the per pupil cost. A recent publication of the Massachusetts Department of Education shows the over all per pupil cost for support of schools in the Commonwealth to be $479.37 for the year 1965. In Tewksbury our cost per child for the same period was $398.78 or $80.59 below the state average. These figures are given only as a guide and to let the people of the community know where we stand on a comparative basis.
It would seem that the School Committee has kept the cost of education in line with the Town's ability to support its schools. The per pupil cost reflects an honest effort on the School Committee's part to provide the best education possible with the funds available.

It is pertinent that I make a few general statements pertaining to the curriculum in our schools. The work of the past few years in the area of curriculum and program in Tewksbury has been extremely beneficial. Our youth are offered some of the most up-to-date courses and our teachers have been trained in many of the very new and recent techniques for improving instruction. Modern Math is now a part of our school program at every grade level. A new elementary reading program with great emphasis on phonics has been introduced at the primary level and will extend up through the intermediate grades as the children progress. Both of these programs are strong in content and our teachers have been receiving training and direction to get the most out of each of the new programs. Our preliminary evaluations indicate that the elementary Modern Math and Reading Programs were wise choices. The work of the children reflects better understanding and facility with reading and math.
Whatever a student's ultimate goal, a broad general education is essential. New skills and new learning are easier to acquire when the foundations are strong in the basic subjects, and the mind well trained, flexible and inquisitive. Although it is important that we take every opportunity to review, broaden and improve our curriculum in the areas of science and mathematics, it is equally important that we maintain a proper balance in our curriculum with the humanities, foreign languages and social sciences to insure a broad general education for each student.
As a means to achieve these criteria, the teachers at the Junior and Senior High Schools are conducting a comprehensive study of our curricular offerings. When the study is concluded, we will develop a new "Program of Studies" for grades 7-12 and eventually develop our own "Curriculum Guides." These guides will facilitate and insure a well integrated plan for all subjects at the Junior and Senior High School levels thereby providing for a well developed program geared to the needs of each individual student.
In his annual report the Principal of the High School discussed student drop-outs for the school year 1964-65. These figures are significant in that
156
they indicate we are doing a better job at "educating our youth" in terms of our ability to have them finish high school. According to the report of the Principal in the school year for 1962-63, 25 students or 2.55 per cent of the student body dropped out of school. In the school year 1964-65 only 16 students or 1.95 per cent of the students left high school.
DROP-OUTS
A recent survey reveals that only 16 students - 9 boys and 7 girls - or 1.95 per cent of the students enrolled dropped out between September 1964 and September 15, 1965. A breakdown of the number and the reasons for leaving follows:
1. Was not interested in school work

However, it is interesting to note that six out of this group returned to school in September. As five were post graduates, only 5 actually, or .59% dropped out of school during the last school year. This is a relatively low percentage compared to the national figure.
Another important function at the high school was a "follow-up" study of the class of 1964. Since the effectiveness of our school program is measured by what happens to the students when they leave high school, we have found a follow-up study to be a helpful instrument in helping us to evaluate it. The results of this study follow.

In conclusion I would like to express my gratitude and thanks to the members of my administration and teaching staff for their dedicated and loyal support. My sincere thanks also to all other members of the school personnel - central office staff, clerical and custodial staff and cafeteria workers who all contribute so generously and efficiently to the operation of the school system. Any success we have achieved is due to the "team approach" of the entire staff.
The members of the School Committee have given generously of their time, talents and efforts in pursuit of providing the best possible education for the children of Tewksbury. The work of the School Committee deserves the appreciation and respect of every citizen - for theirs is labor without reward - except the reward of a better educated youth. To the other town officials, P.T.A.'s, civic and fraternal groups - all who have helped to provide quality education in Tewksbury, I extend my sincere appreciation and thanks.
February 1966
Respectfully submitted, JOHN W. WYNN Superintendent of Schools

EDUCATIONAL AND EMPLOYMENT CERTIFICATES
Every person from 14-16 years of age must have an employment certi- ficate or permit and those between 16-18 years of age must have an educational certificate before starting work. These certificates and permits may be obtained from the offices of the Superintendent of Schools, the High School Principal, and Mrs. Loella Dewing of the School Committee. When one makes application for a certificate (or "working card"), he must apply in person and bring birth certificate and report of last grade attended.
