WHAT IF A NEW HIGH SCHOOL IS DEFERRED UNTIL AFTER 1970?
Appendix B estimates 789 pupils grades 9-12 in 1970. Grades 9 and 10 alone would approach the normal capacity of the Academy. Now consider estimated enrollments for grades 6-7-8, only 22 less than grades 9-12. The Intermediate School is planned for 600 pupils maxi- mum. Grades 1-5 too would exceed by ten classrooms the normal capacity of Roudenbush, Frost, Cameron, Sargent and Nabnassett (including the addition). So, lacking new high school facilities for grades 9-12 in 1970, pupils at all levels would be on split session or staggered
116
programs . The School Planning Committee recommends a new high school by 1968 housing grades 9-12, the present Westford Academy and the new Intermediate School each accommodating grades 5-8, and the elementary facilities serving grade 1-4 only. Here follows a comparison of school capacities and enrollments according to this plan. (Note that Westford Academy, when used for a non elective grade 5-8 program, could house as many as 600 pupils.

WILL THERE NOT BE A REGIONAL TECHNICAL VOCATIONAL SCHOOL BY 1970 TO RELIEVE THE OVERCROWDING IN OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS?
Hopefully there will be a Regional Technical Vocational School to serve Chelmsford, Littleton, Groton and Westford pupils grades 9-12 by the year 1970. But we have been advised that such a school should not be counted upon to relieve congestion, because (1) 10% would be a relatively high enrollment expectations, and (2) five year forecasts for rapidly growing communities are usually more than 10% conservative. (Consider the Annual Report of 1960: Estimate for 1963 was 1672 pupils, but actual enrollment for 1963 was 1855 pupils, a 10% error in a three
year forecast. ) It should be emphasized that the function of a Tech- nical Vocational School is to provide the specialized program desired and needed but to date denied those whose vocational interests are in skilled trades. Hopefully such a school will serve girls as well as boys and adults as well as school age children through night classes as well as day classes. Following the initial year's outlay, almost the entire capital and operational costs are borne by State and Federal monies. The Federal Government's return on such an investment is the increased income taxes collected from full employment; the local com- munity's return, aside from the happiness and contentment that goes with full employment, is expanding taxable real estate as industry moves in to take advantage of a reservoir of skilled manpower.
HAVE ECONOMIES BEEN EXERCISED IN OUR SCHOOL CONSTRUCTION?
Westford Academy was constructed and equipped for less than one million dollars. And now nine years later another secondary school for approximately the same capacity is under construction on the same budget, in spite of the fact that construction costs have been advancing at the rate of about 5% a year. The Nabnassett School complete with the six room addition will cost slightly over six hundred thousand. Eighteen room elementary schools in the area are currently costing a million. The School Committee feels the Town owes a debt of gratitude to the dedicated building committees for providing economical schools fully
117
equipped to house a strong educational program.
ARE OPERATIONAL COSTS STAYING IN LINE?
Westford has maintained a consistently average position both in teacher salary schedules and in total operational per pupil costs. The average teacher salary has been low because of the relatively young teaching staff resulting from heavy teacher turnover. This year the median teacher salary in Westford is $5300. The median salary for all communities of comparable size throughout the state is $5700; for all teachers in Massachusetts' public schools $6300. In 1961-62 the aver- age operational cost per pupil for thirty-four communities in North Middlesex County was $378.40 of which $287.00 was provided locally. Westford's per pupil cost was $378.82 of which $284.08 was provided locally. Total cost per pupil ranged from $252.04 to $557.45. Westford's relative position has not changed.
BUT WHERE IS THE MONEY COMING FROM TO PROVIDE THE NEW SCHOOLS AND TO MEET RISING SCHOOL OPERATIONAL COSTS?
A solution to this problem is based on our national as well as our local economy. Westford's school operational costs have more than quadrupled during this past decade while receipts have merely tripled and enrollments doubed according to Appendices A-C-D. A concentration of new school construction during the 1960-1970 decade further darkens the picture (see Appendix E).
The December NEA Research Bulletin points out that, "the general property tax carries 55% of the cost of public education and accounts for almost all support by local governments. But this tax yields only 14.5% of all tax collections and must support over half the cost of our largest and costliest domestic enterprise. State and local sources of school money cannot match the growth of education; additional support from the federal tax system seems to be the only answer." *
The appendices of this report appear to support this point of view. In 1963 Westford residents bore over 80% of the total school operational and debt costs, the State less than 15% and Federal less than 5%. And three quarters of the local effort fell directly on the property tax. In order to support its schools, Westford residents committed over 60% of their local taxes in 1963. The eleven million dollar assessed valuation represents some two thousand property owners assessed at more than $5000 each. The average taxpayer contributed almost $300 to his schools in 1963. Of course industry played a part, but Westford is still very lightly industrialized, and there is little promise of any rapid increase in industry in the near future. The value of a man's property is not necessarily a true indicator of his weath, as many Westford residents are living on fixed income following early retirements. Equity is not one of the strong arguments in support of the property tax.

Each year the state legislature debates the need for greater state aid for schools and a more equitable distribution of this aid. Present state reimbursement is based upon the 1945 equalization values and is grossly out of adjustment. The reimbursement plan most fre- quently suggested involves a comparison of each town's value per school attending child with the average value for the state. The effort factor also plays a part. Because of Westford's high valuation per school attending child and moderate cost per pupil, Westford would receive minimum state aid for both school operation and school construction costs.
Federal support of education is a highly controversial topic, general school support, that is. Federal support in specific areas dates back to the land grants of 1785 and 1787. Massachusetts received over forty-five million in federal aid for specific purposes in 1961, distributed as follows: *

There are convincing arguments for the extension of federal aid to education just as there are strong arguments against. Good educa- tional programs contribute to strenthening the national economy and national defense. There is a vast difference of educational opportunity among the several states, and the increasingly migratory habits of the American people makes one state's weakness another state's liability. The taxing capacity of a local community or even a state is proving inadequate to meet educational needs, as suggested above, and both local communities and states are reluctant to tax adequately for fear of losing out in the competition for industry.
On the other hand there is the fear of federal controls, federal deficits and inflation. There is the fear of nurturing a bureaucracy with the spectre of waste which is generally associated.
It is not the intent of this paper to probe the justification or even the wisdom of federal vs. local financing of public schools. This paper has attempted to present fairly and impartially the statistical record of the past ten years as a basis for understanding the immediate and the future school economic problems which confront the Town of Westford. Where the money is to come from must remain an unanswered

119
question for the present. A combination of the continued limitation of Westford's educational needs, and some increase in local industry as well as the state and federal monies will get us by for a few years, but the problem will not be solved locally. There will come a time when education will assume a position of equal importance with highways and with public welfare. There will come a time when education as an arm of our national defense will be accepted as a fact rather than an appealing slogan. There will come a time when education will be recognized as the key to a better life for the poor as well as for the wealthy, for the nation, as well as for the individual. Then a solution for the adequate financing of the nation's schools will be found.

Note:
1. Included in Public School Costs are special maintenance and repair articles as well as expenditures under National Defense Education Act.
2. Athletics and Band include only the Town Appropriation as the two combined constitute a revolving account. Included in the 1963 Athletic Budget is $3000 transportation formerly budgeted under operation. Included in the 1963 Band Budget is $2000 for uniforms. The balance of the $5000 cost was made up through donations and the efforts of the bandsmen.
