Estimated State Aid
25,200 00
Needed from local taxes for current expenses and bonded debt service $72,380 00 On the estimated G: and List of $16,000 a tax of $4.52 would be required.
At the annual March meeting of 1956 a special tax of 60c was voted to pay off a part of the temporary loan of $20,000 required to complete and equip the new school. It was expected that this tax would pay off about $10,000 of this loan. However additional state aid, receipts from sales of school property, a lower cost of high school tuition than originally estimated and a legacy made it possible and advisable to pay off the entire note of $20,000 during the past year. By doing this and thereby saving interest, we reduced our current funds to the point wwhere it appears that we shall have a deficit of between $1000 and $2000 as of June 30, 1958. To meet this deficit we recom- mend that 8c be added to the $4.52 tax rate suggested above.
Therefore to meet our current expenses, bonded debt ser- vice and probably deficit at the end of June 1958, we recom- mend a 1958 school tax rate of $4.60.
At this time we express our gratitude to the school staff, principal, teachers, cusodian, bus drivers and hot lunch workers as well as to all members of the Parent Teacher Association and others who have helped us to have another successful year in our new school.
WENDELL E. MORSE LILLIAN G. MUNDY GERALD HATCH School Directors.
January 21, 1958
The directors of Union High School District No. 5 have set a tentative budget for the coming year of $90.000. Based on an enrollment of 75 Ferrisburg High School pupils as of Sept., 1957, this figures out to a tax of about $1.50 for Ferrisburg's share. While it should be emphasized that this is an estimate only, and in no way binding on the Union High School District, we believe that it presents as accurate a picture as is possible at this time, and that it will prove to be sufficient.

FERRISBURG SCHOOL DISTRICT ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SUPT. OF SCHOOLS
To the School Directors and Citizens of Ferrisburg :
In this annual report as Superintendent of Schools I will first give statistics for the school year ending June 30, 1957, the first complete year in Ferrisburg's new school. During that year we had enrolled a total of 272 different pupils, with an average daily attendance of 243.99. Our average daily membership. the figure which now forms the basis of our state aid was 259.55. From now on only average daily membership will be reported. The per capita cost of elementary education in Ferrisburg for 1956-57, based on average daily membership and not including transportation. was $158.19. In 1956-57, Ferrisburg paid high school tuition for 68 pupils, at an average per pupil cost of $251.05. Note that this high school figure is up 11 pupils from the 1955-56 school year. We are glad to note that more pupils are attending high school but at the same time we must realize that additional tax must be provided to take care of the in- creased tuition charges.
Our September enrollments for the current school year showed a total of 260, 10 less than the corresponding figure in September 1956. At the time this report is being written it looks as though a small outgoing 8th grade will be replaced by a much larger first grade in September of 1958 and that we shall equal or exceed the figures of 1956. By grades this year our distribution was: Grade 1, 36; grade 2, 42; grade 3, 27; grade 4, 33 ; grade 5, 30; grade 6, 41; grade 7, 29; grade 8, 22; total 260.
The groupings of pupils in the respective grades differed somewhat from the previous year. This year our first and sec- ond grade pupils are divided among three teachers so that one teacher has only first grade pupils, another only second grad- ers and the third teacher has a combination of first and second grade pupils. Similarly the fifth and sixth grade pupils are divided among three teachers with one having only a fifth grade group, one a sixth grade group, while the third teacher has a combination room of fifth and sixth grade pupils. This
101
year grades three, four, seven and eight have one teacher per grade.
All teachers returned to their Ferrisburg positions this year and following thh first year of adjustment in the new building. I believe that all members of the group are finding this year much more satisfying and pleasant.
An important addition to our staff this year is Mrs. Evelyn Springstead as music director. Her success in this field in Ver- gennes and elsewhere in the state is well-known and Ferris- burg is fortunate in having obtained her services for one day per week. I feel sure the results of this program will soon be evident. Soon we might well give consideration to the intro- duction of special instruction in art into our schedule.
This year I feel sure that certain improvements outside our school building have been noted and appreciated. The black top paving at both the front and rear entrances has improved the appearance and also greatly reduced the amount of dirt brought into the building. Eventually we would like to see a paved drive and parking area. Our lawn is developing slowly although the recent dry summer kept it from attaining the sfooth greenness we would like to see. Consideration might be given to the planting of shrubs and trees at appropriate loca- tions around the building.
You are all aware that your union high school building is now under construction. Occupancy is expected not later than September of 1959. Once the union district takes over the op- eration of the high school, each member of the union district will b assessed its share of expenses according to the number of high school pupils in that local district. It should be noted, therefore, that when the union high school begins operation the local districts cannot pay tuition to other high schools, as the assessment will be made on the number of pupils attending any high school and obviously the local district cannot pay twice on the same pupil.
The 1957 Vermont legislature enacted a new teacherss' sal- ary law, providing for higher minimum salaries for various a- mounts of training and also giving credit for experience up to levels of five ad ten years. This new law has required sub- stantial but long deserved increases for most Vermont teachers,
102
including those in our district and these increases are to con- tinue for several years until the prescribed levels have been reached. At the same time our state aid has been increas- ed and will continue to increase for several years to help the lo- cal districts finance these increases.
Once more I wish to express my appreciation to you" school directors, your principal and teachers and all other staff members for their whole-hearted cooperation. I am equally grateful to the pupils, their parents and other citizens of Ferris- burg for their shares in making this a successful year.
Respectfully, LLOYD W. MOULTON Superintendent of Schools
