General Government TOWN MANAGER/SELECTMEN FY 88 was a year during which the dominant issues largely related to the environment. In order to gain first-hand knowledge of the improvements that had been made and the procedures that the Town of North Andover had implemented to insure the safety of its public water supply, Secretary of Environmental Affairs James Hoyte and Commissioner Russell Silva of the Department of Environmental Quality Engineering personally visited North Andover early in July. In order to dramatize this state/local commitment, they used this opportunity to announce the award of a state grant of $5 million to the Town of North Andover to assist in the construction of the new water treatment plant. Among the innovative programs that had been implemented by the Town and noted during this visit were the use of ozone for disinfection and the extensive sampling and testing program. The water supply testing program conducted by the Town continues to be the most comprehensive of any public water supply in the State of Massachusetts. However, since our water supply is still unfiltered, the water in the distribution system, while safe to drink, continues to be plagued with periodic color and turbidity problems. The construction of a new water filtration plant designed to overcome these problems was commenced by a formal groundbreaking ceremony in January. Additional efforts to protect our water supply from Lake Cochichewick involved the ongoing efforts during the year to purchase the 100+ acre Mazurenko property adjacent to the Lake and the implementation of a comprehensive Watershed Protection District Bylaw at the Annual Town Meeting. After intensive efforts by the Conservation Commission, Planning Board and Planning and Community Development Division staff, a grant of $1 million was announced in May by Secretary Hoyte through the office of Environmental Affairs Division of Conservation Services to assist in the acquisition of the Mazurenko farm. In the meantime, noxious odors from the Greater Lawrence Sanitary District operations increased dramatically during the summer of 1987 and again in the spring and summer of 1988. Intensive efforts by affected residents, the staff, Selectmen, special legal counsel, and a special AD Hoc Committee appointed by the Board of Selectmen applying pressure on DEQE and GLSD resulted in more DEQE enforcement efforts being exercised against the District and culminated at the end of FY 88 with an order from the DEQE to the District to shut down their incinerators. In other areas, long-time Treasurer and Collector James Dewhirst, who Town Manager Paul Sharon had appointed as Director of the Division of Finance, retired at the end of October. The Assistant Finance Director, Fred Mansfield, was appointed by Sharon as the new Finance Director. As a result of the Town Elections in March, two changes were made to the Board of Selectmen with the election of Robert Ercolini and Frank X. Dugan. The initial results showed incumbent John W. Graham nosing out Dugan by one vote, but a subsequent recount reversed the one vote margin. The Board expressed its appreciation to Graham and outgoing Selectman Ramsey A. Bahrawy as they welcomed Ercolini and Dugan. Dugan was not entirely new to Board proceedings having serue~ as a Selectman three years previously. It was also a year of physical and operational changes with the selection of a firm in mid-year to implement a turnkey computer system to bring town and school management information systems up to date. Also, offices were moved within the Town Hall and a central telephone system installed to better accommodate our residents and improve the operations of the various offices consolidated as a result of the new charter. Special thanks and acknowledgements are again extended to the hard-working office staff in the Manager's and Selectmen's Office, Receptionist and Switchboard Operator Lori O'Hearn, Secretary Karen Robertson, Personnel Assistant Ann Marie Barnes, and Administrative Assistant Cathy Hicks for the quality and quantity of their efforts in working with the public that we all serve. Respectfully submitted, Charles A. Salisbury, Chairman Kenneth C. Crouch Francis X. Dugan Robert Ercolini Christine M. Smith Town Manager Paul D. Sharon ADVISORY BOARD FY 88 was a year of challenge for your Advisory Board. The Advisory Board, in concert with the Town Manager and his staff, the School Committee, and the Board of Selectmen developed a process that delivered the FY 89 operating budget and capital improvement plan to Town Meeting in May. Revenue projections, including new growth estimates, were prepared in tandem with spending budgets. This was accomplished despite delays in data submittal to the Advisory Board in accordance with the Town charter. A public hearing was held on April 21, 1988, to present our recommendations for operating budgets and capital expenditures given revenue estimates approved by the Advisory Board. Those recommendations are detailed in the Annual Report published prior to the Annual Town Meeting. Preceding the public hearing, a series of financial reviews were conducted with the Town Manager and his staff, and the School Committee. These reviews afforded the Advisory Board an opportunity to gauge the reasonableness of each budget presented within the context of expected revenues. Continuing a practice initiated two years ago, a financial overview was presented at Town Meeting. Included were five-year projections for revenue and expenses. Voters were able to see and share the concern of the Advisory Board over our worsening financial position. Residents were able to see for themselves that spending will continue to outrace revenue growth unless tough controls and spending justifications are implemented. In addition, cost estimates were given for the impact new schools will have on the Town's financial position. At the Annual Town Meeting, the recommendation of the Advisory Board was placed in motion to begin the budget debate. It was then amended by the Town Manger. Last minute amendments were offered in response to the Advisory Board budget based on less conservative revenue projections than the Advisory Board was willing to approve. In addition, the failure of the Board of Selectmen to approve the budget until just days before Town Meeting, limited any influence the Board of Selectmen might have exercised on the recommendations of the Advisory Board. It is the belief of your Advisory Board, that the revenue projections used in calculating these adjustments will prove to be overly optimistic and present additional pressure on subsequent fiscal years. A goal for FY 89 and the future is to insure that this chain of events is not repeated. This can only happen if the budget process as defined in the Town Charter is adhered to. Your Advisory Board is committed to delivering the best possible budget and capital improvement plan to the voters at Town Meeting. The end result of our collective efforts being a financial plan that is fair and equitable to residents and voters of the entire community. In addition to managing the budget review process, the Advisory Board is responsible for administering the Reserve Fund. In FY 88, the members of the Board voted to initiate a philosophical change in the way the Reserve Fund could be used. In previous years, the Fund had been used as a source of money to cover overages in department operating expenses on a first come, first serve basis, until the fund was depleted for that fiscal year. In FY 88, it was decreed that the Fund could be used for emergency and unforeseen expenses only. Department heads were to be held accountable for managing expenses according to budgets voted at Town Meeting. Other requests for funding would not be honored. In FY 89, this philosophy is being extended by reducing the size of the Reserve Fund. It is expected that further constraints on the use of the Reserve Fund will come in subsequent years. A full accounting of Reserve Fund transactions is included with this Annual Report. In FY 88, your Advisory Board welcomed John Chmielecki, Elliott Katzman, and Guenter Loeser to the Board. These new members have strengthened our membership and have become valued champions of sound fiscal policy. The Advisory Board suffered the loss of four senior members in FY 88. Francia Lindon, Paul Sullivan, Pat Cavanaugh, and Dan Griffin submitted resignation letters during the Annual Town Meeting. These resignations were prompted by frustration borne out of concern for the future of our community and an inability to significantly impact the financial well being of the Town. We wish our former members well and hope that they will continue to be of service to the Town. Respectfully submitted, Eric W. Bakerman Chairman Paul A. Sullivan, Vice-Chairman Patricia Cavanaugh John T. Chmielecki Daniel J. Griffin Richard M. Katis Elliott Katzman Francia Lindon Guenter H.

As Director, I am responsible of the staff and working with various Town boards. On behalf of all departments, I welcome the community to attend our public meetings and to review the planning documents and regulations that assist in guiding development in North Andover.

Three child care petitions were considered by the Board, as well as a nursing home petition. A total of forty-three variances, twenty-seven special permits and three party aggrieved applications were presented and heard at public hearings by the Board of Appeals. The Board heard a total of seventy-three petitions, mostly concerning setback relief, frontage and area variances, as well as earth removal permits, family suites, conversions to multi-family dwellings, cutting within the Watershed District, division of land, and day care centers. The Board of Appeals meets on a regular basis every month, on the second Tuesday of the month in the Selectmen's Meeting Room at 7:30 p.m., unless otherwise advertised. 11 We want to welcome our new Building Inspector, Robert Nicetta, and look forward to working with him.

Swimming pools and miscellaneous additions and alterations to residential housing continued to be fairly stable over all, as shown by the estimated monetary values. On March 7, Mr. D. Robert Nicetta became our newly appointed full- time Inspector of Buildings to replace Charles H. Foster who retired after 26 years on board with the Building Department. A Town resident, Nicetta comes to us from the private sector with knowledge of the building trades gained during 38 years as owner of his own construction business. We wish to thank those Town departments that cooperated in the proper enforcement of public safety and zoning laws. Respectfully submitted, D. Robert Nicetta, Insp. of Bldgs. & Zoning Enforcement officer John J. Thompson, Electrical Insp. Domenic Mangano, Plumbing Inspector Greg Phelan, Gas Inspector Gilda Blackstock, Secretary CONSERVATION COM~ISSION The North Andover Conservation Commission had a full year of active involvement in administering and implementing the State Wetlands Protection Act and Town Wetlands Protection Bylaw. In fiscal year 1988, the NACC held twenty-eight meetings, received fifty-one Notices of Intent, twenty-one Requests to Determine, and issued forty-seven Orders of Conditions. In addition many Certificates of Compliance were issued, Enforcement Orders implemented, and Extensions granted. At a Special Town Meeting held in December, the Town voted to appropriate three million dollars for the purchase of the Mazurenko property, a key parcel of undeveloped land in the watershed of Lake Cochichewick. A grant for one million dollars was received for this purchase from the State Division of Conservation Services. At the spring Town Meeting, the NACC Bylaw was amended to increase filing fees, enabling the commission to be more self-supporting. A Watershed Protection District was also approved to further protect the quality of water in Lake Cochichewick. In addition, a group of volunteers worked with the Commission to research and develop an updated town-wide Open Space and Recreation Plan that was submitted to the state as part of the Mazurenko Purchase. 13 Respectfully submitted, Jack Lindon, Chairman Guillermo Vicens Arthur Resca Carl Schoene Lois Bruinooge Paul Tariot William Sousa Irene R. Mackun, Administrator Marie L. Boudrot, Secretary HEALTH DEPARTMENT The past year saw several changes in the Board of Health. Mr. Edward Scanlon retired from the Board after twenty-eight years of service and Doctor Francis MacMillan joined us as a member and as Board physician. We were also joined by Stephen Madaus, who fills the newly created staff position of Environmental Coordinator. Madaus has been working with Health Agent Michael Graf on revising the septic system requirements for within the Lake Cochichewick Watershed and assisting in other general office functions. The Environmental Coordinator position is funded half by this Board and half by the Planning Board, and his time is split evenly between the two Boards. Total expenditures for the Board of Health were $60,488.95. Respectfully submitted, Michael Graf, Health Agent Gayton Osgood, Chairman John Rizza, DMD Francis MacMillan, MD Grace Coupal, Secretary PLANNING OFFICE The Planning Board experienced a very heavy work load in 1987 and early 1988. Also very significant changes occurred during the 1988 Annual Town Meeting in the Zoning Ordinance related to life care facilities. Overall the Board feels substantial progress was made in 1987 and 1988 which is resulting in a better "planned" community. The following is a brief overview of the highlights of 1987/1988. 14 Development Projects from July 1987 to June 1988 Subdivisions Heard by the Board Preliminary Subdivisions: Definitive Subdivisions: 17 16 Subdivisions Approved by the Board Preliminary Subdivisions: Definitive Subdivisions: 8 13 Site Plan Reviews Heard by the Board 27 Other Special Permits Heard by the Board 16 Form A Plans reviewed by the Board were too numerous to mention, due to significant activity by property owners attempting to "grandfather" their development rights prior to changes in the Zoning Ordinance which occurred during the Annual Town Meeting. In addition, significant activity occurred in subdivision proposals in order to "grandfather" property under the Town's old zoning. Definitive Subdivision review peaked in late fall as the deadlines approached, for purposes of grandfathering property. The Board is still reviewing subdivisions and have yet to issue a decision on a number of Definitive Plans attempting to grandfather under old zoning regulations. Chanqes to the Zoninq Bylaw - Annual Town Meetinq The following changes were made to the Zoning Bylaw during the 1988 Annual Town Meeting: 1. Changes in the PRD District 2. Changes in the Site Plan Review Regulations 3. Watershed Protection Bylaw 4. Established Standards for Life Care Facilities 5. Changes in On-Site Parking Requirements 6.

Water Supply & Distribution There were installed in 1987 - 1988, 8460 feet of twelve-inch, 3580 feet of eight-inch, 315 feet of six-inch ductile iron pipe; 22 twelve-inch, 11 eight-inch, and 27 six-inch gate valves; and 25 fire hydrants. The water main distribution system now consists of 139.48 miles of main pipe; 6 twelve-inch check valves; 4 twelve-inch altitude valves; 29 twelve-inch, 4 ten-inch, 481 eight-inch, and 4 four-inch gate valves; with 1049 public hydrants. Size of Pipe (inches) 14 12 10 8 6 4 3 Length of Pipe (feet) 788 203,929 7840 236,732 264,968 1,262 160 There were installed in 1987 - 1988 either wholly or partially, 160 water services. The new and renewed water services equalled 359.5 miles of type "k" copper service pipe. 182 new meters were installed, 30 old meters were repaired, and 5 fire hydrants broken off by a car were replaced. All hydrants were inspected, repaired, and painted where necessary. The annual inspection of the 2,400 gate valves and valve boxes in the system were completed. The annual hydrant flushing of the entire distribution system was completed in May. Fluoridation has been completely maintained by the Public Works Department and levels monitored by both ourselves and the State Department of Environmental Engineering. A semi-annual inspection of backflow prevention devices and check valves between the public water supply and other sources of supply for industrial and commercial uses have been made by this department as part of a new cross-connection monitoring program. As part of the Town's ongoing distribution system rehabilitation program, a section of the old water main on Water Street was replaced with 1070 feet of new twelve inch ductile iron cement-lined pipe by Somerset Contractors. The old water main on Elm Street between Water Street and Prescott Street was replaced with 1050 feet of new twelve-inch ductile iron pipe by Metro Boston Construction. A grant of $500,000.00 from the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Quality Engineering has been awarded to the Town for work to be done in the downtown area water distribution system rehabilitation program. The water main interconnection and Pumping Station on Peters Street as well as related improvements to the piping at the Sutton Hill reservoir have been completed. The interconnection now allows us to receive water from Andover at two locations as needed on an emergency basis. 18 Our staff and consultants are continuing to monitor our water distribution system with an extensive and detailed Water Quality Management Program in order to insure safe and potable drinking water. The program includes sampling throughout the system, specific identification of bacteria species beyond the general coliform analysis, the daily analysis of numerous water quality parameters, continuous computing and analysis of all collected data and a Giardia testing program. There has also been new programs implemented such as testing for volatile organic compounds and lead levels in the school system. In November, bids were received for the construction of the new Water Treatment Plant. The low bidder was the Barletta Company, Inc. for a total contract price of $12,971,429. The ground breaking ceremony for the plant was held on January 20, 1988. Site work commenced immediately after that date, and actual excavation began later in the spring. As of June 30 approximately one million dollars worth of work had been completed. Target date for completion of the plant is early 1990.

Maintenance was performed on municipal sewers. Ail mains were inspected, cleaned and flushed in the spring. Calls were received regarding sewer back-ups; 41 private house sewers were cleaned, most of them blocked with roots. Design has continued for Phase I sewerage facilities to serve the south side of Lake Cochichewick and the Water Treatment Plant from the existing sewer on Pleasant Street and extending on Great Pond Road to Coachman's Lane. A study of extension of sewerage facilities to the Phase II and III project area on the south side of Lake Cochichewick has been completed by the LEA Group and design of those facilities in ongoing. Sewer Receipts for 1987 - 1988: Collected Sewer Rates: July 1, 1987 - June 30, 1988 $374,264.17 Collected Sewer Const. & Misc. July 1, 1987 - June 30, 1988 3,746.00 Forestry & Tree Maintenance Removal and trimming of a large number of dead maple and diseased elm trees continued to be a major problem for the Tree Department during the year. Services provided by the department include brush control along Town roads, cabling of dangerous trees, tree planting, removal of tree stumps, and a limited spraying program. Newly planted trees were watered and fertilized this year due to dry conditions during late spring and summer. 22 Playground Maintenance The playground system consists of Grogan's Field, 4.7 acres; Drummond ~ield, 5.0 acres; American Legion Beach, 1~4 acres; Carl A. Thomas Playground, 4.7 acres; Aplin, 1.8 acres; Chadwick Street Playground, 3.0 acres - a total of 24.7 acres. In preparation for a very busy summer season, the following work was completed: existing swing sets and see-saws were repaired and painted. Playground equipment was installed at all playgrounds and the bathing beach. Benches were repaired and replaced at the playgrounds as needed. A bridge over the brook at the Reynolds Playground was repaired. Sand was spread over the bathing beach to improve the swimming area. The 37th annual swimming meet was sponsored by the Veterans of Foreign Wars, Post #2104 on August 12, 1988, and as usual was a great success. The beach was open from June 13, 1988, until September 5, 1988. Over 2,000 swimming lessons were given by Director Walter Roberts and the other lifeguards. Baseball diamonds at the Aplin Playground, the Pony League behind the High School and the varsity fields, as well as baseball diamonds at the Drummond, Carl Thomas, and Grogan's Field, are used seven days a week during the summer season and require constant maintenance. Parks & School Grounds Maintenanc~ The parks area now consists of the Center Common, 8.1 acres; training grounds, 1.9 acres; Memorial Park, 2.7 acres; Old Burying Ground, 1 acre; Historical Society Plot; Farrington Burying Grounds; and 20 small plots at street intersections - a total of 15 acres. All park areas were maintained, fertilized and mowed an average of once a week. The school grounds area consists of the Bradstreet School, 1.20 acres; Thomson School, 3.00 acres; Kittredge School, 6.57 acres; Franklin School, 8.77 acres; North Andover Middle School and Atkinson School, 38.34 acres; and the High School, 44.52 acres - a total of 102.40 acres. Bleachers were repaired and repainted as required. Baseball fields, track and field facilities, field hockey, soccer and football fields all required constant upkeep for competitive school events and practice. Snow pipes were placed along driveways at all the schools to prevent snow plows from damaging turf and trees. Street Maintenance New steel beam guard rails were installed at the following locations: Stevens Street (800 feet - 2 locations), Great Pond Road (300 feet - 2 locations), Johnson Street (250 feet - 2 locations), and Chestnut Street (100 feet - 1 location). 23 The following streets were sealed with oil: Bradford & Barker Streets, So. Bradford Street by Smolak's, Atkinson Sckool Driueway, Bradford Street, Morris Street, Wood Avenue, Prospect Street, Dufton Court, Oak Avenue, Boston Street, Hemlock Street, Winter Street, (Bradford to Dale), Glendale, Autran Avenue, Adams Avenue, Unity Avenue, Bacon Avenue, Linden Avenue, Martin Avenue, Lacy Street, Summer Street, Sullivan Street, Chestnut Street, Summit & Upland Streets, Paddock Lane to Andover Line, Middleton Street, Wesley & Innis Streets, and Wright Avenue. New sidewalks were installed on Bixby Avenue, Thorndike Road, Maple Avenue (part), Waverley Road and Franklin School. The following streets were all or partly paved: Waverley Road, Old Clark Street, Stevens Street (two locations), Rte. 133, Great Pond Road, Parker Street (Faulkner Road to gate), Andover Street and Peters Street. New drainage was installed at the intersection of Marbleridge Road and Great Pond Road which included 4 catch basins, 200 feet of twelve-inch concrete pipe, 130 feet of eighteen-inch concrete was repaired and rebuilt on section of Apple Hill near Morningside Lane. Drainage from Saunders Street where it discharges into Sutton Pond was repaired including 20 feet of concrete pipe and a new stone headwall. Approximately 2,000 catch basins were cleaned during April, May and June. Snow fencing was placed at various locations throughout the Town for the winter season. Approximately 80 sand barrels were placed at various locations throughout the Town and maintained through the winter season. Solid Waste Collection & Disposal Rubbish collection was carried out throughout the year by Town crews. 9,940 tons were collected and disposed of at the resource recovery facility on Old Clark and Holt Roads. The Town is a member of the Northeast Solid Waste Committee (N.E.S.W.C.) Town crews continued the practice of large items pick-up throughout the year. White goods, glass, and newspapers are recycled. Bulk leave collections were carried out during November and into December. The Sharpener's Pond recycling area was opened on Wednesdays and Saturdays from May through December. Respectfully submitted, Paul S. Niman, Director Division of Public Works 24 Public Safety ANIMAL INSPECTOR During the past fiscal year I have inspected the animals and the farm conditions on four large beef and dairy farms, as well as two small beef cattle farms. Two farms were visited on several occasions in order to comply with state regulations for the importation of dairy and beef cattle. I also visited five large horse farms in order to inspect the animals and the farm conditions. Twenty-three calls were made to inspect back yard horses, goats and miscellaneous farm animals. Health certificates were issued to the farms and premises mentioned above. Twelve dogs and one cat were quarantined as rabies suspects. Respectfully submitted, Robert Atwood, DMV CIVIL DEFENSE This past reporting period has happily been uneventful from a civil Defence emergency point of view. Our energies during this reporting period have been directed to emergency planning to react to the Hazardous Materials Legislation Title III Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA). In accordance with requirements set forth by Mass. State Director of civil Defense Mr. Robert J. Boulay, we organized and formed the North Andover local committee for the State Emergency Response Commission. A Local Emergency planning Committee (LEPC) was formed with Fire Chief William Dolan as chairman. Members of this committee include the Town Manager, Health, Public Works, Civil Defense, Police and Fire Departments, and members from local hospitals and chemical companies. Part of this planning requires the development of a Hazardous Material (HAZMAT) response plan for our community. We participated in a state-wide Hurricane exercise named "Janice 2" on June 16, 1988. Participation in this exercise was mandatory for 70 Massachusetts communities. The object of this exercise was to review all aspects of our Emergency Operating Plans and to assess each community's availability of resources. All Town departments participated, and I am happy to report a totally successful operation with all Town departments fully cooperative in support of local emergencies. On May 23, 1988, a meeting was held with a 25 Massachusetts civil Defense planner and all department heads to conduct a Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CEMP). The meeting was totally helpful to all attendees to insure completion of the CEMP by October 1988. This puts our community in an enhanced posture to cope with any future emergencies that may befall us. North Andover continues to retain eligibility for federal matching funds for 50% of salaries and certain administrative expenses (for civil Defense) under the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). There is still no surplus property program available under FEMA. We enjoy being back once again in our Emergency Operations Center (EOC) and continue to exercise our communications capability on a weekly basis to enhance our emergency preparedness posture. We have an excellent 24-hour communications capability utilizing our 220 MHz repeater including phone patch using our hand held transceivers. We are grateful to Mr. Benjamin Farnum for allowing the use of his property on Boston Hill for placement of our repeater and antenna. The Auxiliary Police continue vandalism patrols of all public schools, Town facilities, playgrounds, etc., under the direction of the local police force. They assist the local force in controlling crowds during parades and Town functions as prescribed by Police Chief Stanley. Chief Stanley has also assisted the Auxiliary Police in attaining one of the better cruisers which was being turned in for new ones. We are extremely grateful to Chief Stanley for his outstanding support of the Auxiliary Police and Civil Defense efforts. The following individuals are current members of our Auxiliary Police group with Sgt. Richard C. Boettcher commanding: Executive officer Ernest Harvey, Patrolmen Carl Wagoner, Hilton P. Cormey, and Joseph Sullivan, Jr. We welcome the following newly appointed officers to the Auxiliary Police cadre: Patrolmen Steven Broderick, Daniel G. Cronin, Steven R. Hutcheson, Raymond D. MacLean, Ms. C. Susan Northam, and Jay Staude. These new recruits bring our group strength back up to the required manning level. The following are current members of our RACES communications group: Mr. Joseph Sullivan, Jr., Communications Officer, William Sherlock, Carleton Wilson, Douglas Wilson, Richard Slade, Leonard Somers, Gerald Rowen, David Upton, Joseph Demers, Edward Adams and Michael Fried. Our Citizens Band cadre consists of Joseph Whitehead and Ernest Harvey. Mr. Sullivan conducts local training classes to train individuals to qualify for novice radio amateur licenses. Interested parties should contact Mr. Sullivan or the undersigned for class information. As in the past we continue to conduct a search for selective volunteers willing to devote time to civil Defence either as Staff Officer, Communications (must possesses a valid FCC license), or Auxiliary Police (must be capable of passing a background investigation conducted by the local police). Full consideration will be granted regardless of sex, race or creed. Information may be obtained by contacting the undersigned or any member of our group. 26 We take this opportunity to thank the various boards and individuals for the excellent support rendered to our organization throughout this reporting period: the Honorable Board of Selectmen, Town Manger Paul Sharon, the Advisory Board, all Town department heads and staffs, Police Chief Richard M. Stanley and his officers, Fire Chief William V. Dolan and his firefighters, EMT's and dispatchers. My personal thanks to Communications Officer Joseph Sullivan, Jr., for his excellent handling of all technical communications matters and Sgt. Richard C. Boettcher and the Auxiliary Police for continuing to fulfill their mission in an exemplary manner. My warm thanks to Mr. John J. Lyons, Deputy Civil Defense Director for his outstanding support in all Civil Defense matters. Respectfully submitted, John J. Coco North Andover civil Defense Director FIRE DEPARTMENT The following is a summary of Fire Department responses for the period of July 1, 1987, to June 30, 1988. Breakdown of ResDonses Private Dwellings 31 Apartments 1 Public Assembly 3 Schools & Colleges 3 Health Care & Penal Inst. 3 Stores & Offices 3 Industrial 6 Storage in Structures 3 Special Structures - Highway Vehicles 40 Other Vehicles (planes, trains, etc.) 1 Fire Outside Structure with Value but not Vehicle 3 Brush, Grass 115 Rubbish, Dumpsters, etc. 28 All Others not Classified 12 Apparatus Responses to Rescue or Medical Emergency False Alarm Responses Mutual Aid or Assistance Responses Service Calls, Inspections, Arcing Wires, Washdowns Total for Above Incidents Total Ambulance Responses Total Ail Responses 348 526 30 1,202 2,106 1,411 3,769 Total Fires 252 Receipts from Permits and Fines - $8,896.40 Total Ambulance Bills Issued - 304 Total Receipts - $15,628.00 27 I respectfully submit the following report for fiscal year 1988. During this fiscal year the department appointed its first full- time Deputy Chief. Firefighter Fred McCarthy was promoted to the rank of Deputy chief after having passed the civil service exam. My sincere appreciation to Lt. Andrew Melnikas who performed the duties of Deputy Chief in an acting capacity until Deputy McCarthy was permanently appointed. Lt. Ted Snell has retired from the department after 25 years of service. During this fiscal year the major fire occurred at Signal Resco which involved a four alarm response. Although this fire was noteworthy by the media because of its size, it was one of only four industrial fires; whereas there were 33 private dwelling fires suppressed by the Fire Department that same year which did not receive as much attention. In North Andover, as throughout the country, it is the private dwelling which accounts for most of the structure fires. Due to Special Town Meeting, the Town has purchased and equipped a new Ladder Truck to replace the 1963 American LaFrance. This piece of equipment was sorely needed, and its arrival and placement into service is appreciated by the entire department. The department has also had all the asbestos removed from the Main Street station in order to comply with safety standards. The department has become more involved in the area of hazardous materials and the confinement of these spills which are related to hazardous material within the Town. The Chief and members of the department are responsible for the compliance with the state and federal right-to-know legislation. The responsibility of the firefighter has expanded to not only firefighting but also emergency responses to hazardous material disasters and mitigation of other emergent situations. The Fire Department personnel have responded to these needs in a most professional and positive manner. Without the continued support of the Townspeople, the Fire Department would be severely limited in their capability to provide the necessary services which are needed in emergency situations. This support is greatly appreciated. The department looks forward to serving the present and future residents of the Town by providing the best possible service. Respectfully submitted, William V. Dolan Fire Chief 28 POLICE DEPARTMENT On November 11, 1988, the Police Department conducted an open house of its facilities. It gave the opportunity for the community to meet and talk with some of the police officers and to experience first- hand what police work has evolved into. I was exceptionally pleased not only with the community,s interest, but also with the enthusiasm displayed by the officers in explaining the systems, functions and equipment of the Police Department to the public. Community support over the past years has been tremendous, and the Police Department has been able to make significant advancements directly attributed to that support. Improvements have been made in all major areas of the department. Administratively, with the aid of computerization, informational tracking and reporting is now readily available. Previously, many man hours were required to accomplish similar tasks. Our investigative division has matured and become more sophisticated enabling it to pursue more complex cases in a scientific manner. The patrol force, although young, is gaining experience daily. They have been partially equipped and continually trained and updated allowing the officers to feel a true sense of professionalism. Police work is a true technological entity and as with all technology continually evolves and develops itself. The ability to develop is essential so that law enforcement can cope with a continually changing criminal element. Specifically, policies and procedures must be continually assessed and changed. Training is mandatory; it not only involves maintenance of skills, but includes continual updates to reflect community needs and desires, criminal activity, law and patrol procedure changes. This process of analysis and implementation must take place to insure efficient operation of the police force. The Police Department is more than a crime fighter. It has a leadership role in community service and a broader responsibility of public safety. Juvenile intake and diversion programs are of primary concern. Working with the youth of the Town is an annual department goal. Crime prevention and civilian firearms safety are educational service programs. Highway safety and development allows the Police Department to put its expertise to work and provide input into the design and markings of Town streets and roads. The safe and efficient flow of traffic is realized through this process. Hopefully, through events as our recent open house, the community understands the complex nature of the police mission and will continue to support the changes and growth necessary to maintain and improve the community/police relationship. Our doors have been open in the past and will continue to be open to the citizen of North Andover. Respectfully submitted, Richard M.

This report has been prepared in accordance with Chapter 12lB of the General Laws of Massachusetts, which governs housing authorities. The Authority, because of the nature of its organization, has a dual responsibility. It f~rst, to the best of its ability, must address the housing needs of the low- and moderate-income families of our Town in a manner which is beneficial to all residents and neighborhoods. Secondly, it must administer its programs to achieve its overall housing objectives in a fiscally responsible manner which is in the best interest of our funding agencies. During this past year the Authority is pleased to state that it has assisted and provided low-rent subsidized units for approximately 400 citizens of our Town. These low-rent units are distributed in five developments which consist of 239 units of elderly and 28 units of family housing. In addition to our publicly-owned units, the Authority also administers a rental subsidy program through the use of federal and state funds. This program is designed to provide a subsidy for housing to eligible low-income families and elderly individuals. The goal of the program is to coordinate both the private and public sector for the purpose of meeting the housing needs of our community. It offers North Andover families in need of housing or housing assistance a choice of residence among virtually every apartment that qualifies within Housing Quality Standards and Fair Market Rent Guidelines. The success of this program is greatly dependent upon the support of our local landlords whom, to date, have been most cooperative. Also during this year, the Authority has been busy with the construction of two new developments. One, twenty units of conventional elderly housing and two five bedroom congregate units on Second Street, and one, a new duplex adjacent to an existing four family on Ashland Street. The Authority is looking forward to the opening of both in the very near future. Especially the congregate units. Congregate differs greatly from conventional elderly. This concept provides housing for frail elderly who are unable to live independently without some support systems in place. These units provide private bedrooms, semi-private baths, and common living areas. They are also adjacent to the community room facilities, thereby allowing for accessibility and assuring no isolation from the rest of the tenants of the building. The Authority is looking forward to this new concept. 35 Ail housing administered by the North Andover Housing Authority is subject to the following income limits: No. in Family State McCabe Court Morkeski Meadows Section 8 1 $17,248 $21,550 $13,500 2 19,712 24,650 15,400 3 22,179 27,700 17,300 4 24,640 30,800 19,250 5 26,180 32,750 20,800 6 27,720 34,650 22,350 7 29,260 36,600 23,850 8 or more ~0,800 38,500 25,400 ASSET LIMIT 15,000 None None AGE LIMITS 62, disabled, handicapped or age 18 or over depending on the program applied for. Fiscal year 1988 has also been a year of changes for the North Andover Housing Authority. It has seen a change in Executive Directors and two more members of the Board of Commissioners. Firstly, I would be remiss if I did not mention Louis P. Minicucci, Jr. In his thirteen years as Executive Director, he probably did more to advance the cause of low-income persons in housing than any other individual in the Town. He applied for and received grants to build two federally-funded elderly housing complexes, Community Development Block Grant funds to renovate homes of low-income home owners, and then low-income tenants, and modernization funds to renovate and repair existing Housing Authority stock. Louis has moved on to bigger things at his own consulting firm. Both Joseph Morkeski and Malcolm Norwood retired from the Board of Commissioners this past year. Joe, after many years of devoted service to the Board, felt that because he was wintering in Florida, he could not give 100% to the Board and was not happy giving less. He therefore resigned. Mal moved his base of operations to Maine, therefore ending his eligibility to serve on the board. I am sure both of these men miss their involvement with us as much as we do them. I am sure that on all of their parts, it was a very hard decision to leave. We here at the Authority wish them well. At the same time, we welcome Helen Faye and Helen Soucy to the Board. We are always open to new ideas and a fresh point of view. Once again, the Housing Authority wishes to express its sincere appreciation to all Town departments and the citizens of North Andover who have supported and assisted the Authority in the development of 36 our much needed housing programs and in our continuous efforts provide adequate housing for the residents of North Andover. Respectfully submitted, Hope R. Minicucci, PHM Executive Director BOARD OF COM~ISSIONERS: Anna P. O'Connor, Chairwoman Donald Foulds, Vice-Chairman Nicholas Debitetto, Treasurer Helen Faye, Assistant Treasurer Helen Soucy, Member to RECREATION COUNCIL 1988 was the 42nd year of organized playground programs in the Town of North Andover. We opened the Chadwick playground to supervised programs this year. This gave us four playgrounds that had programs every Monday through Friday for eight weeks during the summer. We went back to our old hours of 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, and this proved very popular. The weather during our eight-week program was the most humid in recent years. We had very good attendance even with the very hot summer. Programs during the year: Ice Skating: The Recreation Department has an ice skating program starting in November and ending the last Sunday evening in February. This program runs for eighteen Sundays and includes two hours of skating from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. The fee is $1.00 for the two hours, and the program is very well attended. The ice skating is held at the Brooks School indoor rink. Band Concerts: This past year we had twelve band concerts. Ail were held at the Center Common, with eight held on Sunday evenings and four held on Wednesday evenings. The concerts were very well attended. We had an average turnout of about 375 people attending. Some evenings the turnout would be around 500 people. We say thank you to the North Andover Arts Council, Musicians Union and the local merchants who help us with the cost of the concerts. Saturday Morninq Basketball: This program is for girls and boys in grades two, three and four. They are taught the fundamentals of basketball play games and have alot of fun. The program runs from December to March and is held at the North Andover Community Center. Eight-foot baskets are used. The program is run in cooperation with 37 the Community Center. Eighty-seven boys and girls took part in this program. Field TriDs: During the summer it is planned to have one field trip a week during the eight-week program. Trips held were: bowling; miniature golf; Water Country in New Hampshire; a boat ride out of Rye, New Hampshire, to the Isle of Shoals. Special Events: A special event is planned once a week during the summer program. This past year all events were held on the Center Common. Eight events were held. The events this year were: Joe Carota, Magician - after his show he gave a class on magic to the kids at the Community Center; Mr. slim Olde Time Musical; a mine; jugglers; musical stage show. These events were well attended, and we invited the elderly from the Nevins Day Care Center and some local nursing homes. The people really had a good time. Summer Program: This program runs for eight weeks, along with the special events and field trips. It consisted of games, soccer, basketball and softball. Arts & Crafts: We changed our arts and crafts program this year. We had it only on Monday and Friday. The arts and crafts teacher went to two playgrounds each day, and the kids really did some interesting crafts. We plan to increase this program next year. Special Needs: Once again we had a special needs playground. It was held at the Community Center Barn, five days a week. The children from this program went on most of the field trips with the playgrounds, and they had many other programs, movies video's, cookouts and other fun-filled events. Ice Cream Day: An Ice Cream Day was held at Drummond Playground. This event was enjoyed by young and old alike. We had many leagues in operation: men's softball, sixteen team league, two eight team division; women's softball, five team league; pony league baseball for boys ages thirteen to sixteen; girls little league softball for girls ages six to fourteen. The success of the girls softball is due to much hard work by James McAloon, and the Pony League is run very well by Paul Theberge. We owe much to the Fire Department, Police Department, Mr. Paul Niman and Buddy Cyr, the North Andover citizen, Lawrence Eagle-Tribune and Radio Station W.C.C.M. Respectfully submitted, Bill McEvoy Recreation Director 38 GP~F~TER I~%WP~ENCE S;~NITARY DISTRICT Introduction This report summarizes the activities at the Greater Lawrence Sanitary District for the twelve-month period, July 1, 1987, through June 30, 1988 (FY '88). During this twelve-month period, the GLSD treated 11.8 billion gallons of water. This represents an average daily flow of 32.5 millions gallons per day. The flow is down nearly 11% from the same period last year. The primary reasons for this decrease are less precipitation and the elimination of many storm overflow structures. In FY '88, Lawrence's flow amounted to 46% of the total, Methuen was 24.4%, Andover's was 12.2%, North Andover's was 7.2% and Salem's was 5.6%. Percentages like these are used to establish the annual assessment of each community for the operations and maintenance costs. Operation and Maintenance In FY '88, 12,527 dry tons of sludge were removed from the wastewater, dewatered and incinerated. Coinciding with the end of FY '88 was an order from the DEQE shutting down our sludge incinerators. We are now awaiting an air emissions upgrade of these incinerators before we will be permitted to place them back in operation. Until that time arrives, we are employing a chemical stabilization process by Chemfix Technologies to chemically fix our sludge and then trucking the fixed material known as Naturite to a landfill in Fall River. The handling of trucked-in waste went through a tremendous change during FY '88. As a result of testing, it was determined that sludge from other treatment plants would no longer be accepted. In addition, the volume of septage, greywater and restaurant waste was found to be much greater than what was projected to be received from these sources. Consequently, these wastes were subjected to a maximum volume cap of 150,000 gallons per day. These reductions greatly affect sludge production. Odors and their impact on the surrounding community were a focal point of FY '88. Changes were implemented in aM effort to minimize these odors, but were only partially effective. The shutdown of the incinerators and the reduction of trucked-in waste, coupled with the completion of our fourth aeration basin and secondary clarifier, in addition to the improvements made to our Industrial Pretreatment Program, and modifications to our procedures for handling trucked-in waste, should eliminate abnormal odors at the plant. 39 Special Pro~ects 1) Fourth Aeration Basin and Clarifier During FY '88 the major portion of construction for these two tank~ was completed. These tanks are now necessary to meet the load placed on the facility on a daily basis. This is exactly when Camp, Dresser & McKee, the District's consultants, anticipated the need for the tanks when they were removed from the original plant construction in the mid-70's. This increase in tankage will permit us to handle a greater volume of water, thus reducing overflow events and treatment problems associated with storm conditions and the annual snow melt. The tanks should be placed into service by April of 1989. 2) Ash Pit Final design plans and specifications have been approved by the DEQE. Construction has been delayed until the upgrade of our existing incinerators has been approved. 3) Incinerator Upgrade As stated earlier, the two existing sludge incinerators were shutdown due to problems with the outmoded emissions scrubbing devices. An engineering firm is currently studying what modifications must be made in order to meet every air quality standard currently in effect. This study will be lengthy. Therefore, no time frame can be given for the completion of the upgrade. 4) Residuals Management Study In 1987 a study was begun to determine which sludge disposal technology would best meet the needs of the District for the next twenty years. This study incorporated many criteria which helped eliminate different technologies. As a result of the Phase I portion of this study, a detailed comparison will be conducted between two technologies. This Phase II study will determine which ultimate disposal technology is best suited for the District. This will then lead to the design and ultimate construction of the chosen technology. No time frame can be given due to the fact that we are in the early stages of this study. 5) Financial Management The assessment to the communities rose dramatically in FY '89. This is due to three factors: 1) increased O & M costs, 2) increased capital costs associated with plant improvements, and 3) reduction in revenues associated with trucked-in waste. It appears that this will also be the case in FY '90. Respectfully submitted, Paul S. Niman, North Andover Representative 40 STEVENS MEMORIAL LIBRARY To the Citizens of North Andover, Massachusetts: The Trustees of the Stevens Memorial Library herewith present their 80th report which is for the twelve-month period - July 1, 1987 to June 30, 1988. To the Trustees of the Stevens Memorial Library: I hereby submit the 80th report of the Director. Library Statistics/Circulation FY 1984 FY 1985 FY 1986 FY 1987 FY 1988 Adult 72,381 75,761 79,472 78,844 75,669 Juvenile 33,901 34,342 39,335 47,737 49,530 ILL Rec'd* 289 530 430 711 1,124 Museum Passes 174 260 208 368 336 Total** 106,745 110,893 119,445 126,660 126,659 *ILLS = Inter-Library-Loan. Materials we borrow for you from other libraries. We also loaned to other libraries 1,109 items. **The circulation total does not include exhibits, story hours, programs, reference services, and other in-house use. The library circulates over six items per person, which is above the state average. Since the average book now costs over $20.00, each resident has borrowed the equivalent of $120.00 worth of materials. The automated circulation system's public terminal has become increasingly important. One look at the inter-library-loan statistics clearly shows the benefits of being able to locate materials through the computer and have them delivered in a timely manner. This year saw the introduction of compact discs to our collection and the almost total cessation in the purchase of 33 1/3 long playing records. The public use of our apple computer has also seen growth this year, I hope to have a second apple installed in the Children's Room but this will probably have to wait until the addition is built. During the summer the staff made the final shifts in our collection, we have absolutely, positively run out of space. The success of the afternoon story hours as well as the multitude of other programs run by the staff have made FY88 a banner year for the Childrens' Room. I would like to thank the North Andover Arts Council for their support this last year as well as the numerous exhibitors and volunteers. Russell J. Reeve, Director 41 During the year the Board continued to guide the investment and expenditures of endowed funds and to oversee the upkeep of the library. This last spring the Trustees approved the design development phase of the architectural plans. A model of the proposed library addition has been on display at the library and the Town Hall. The application process for state library construction monies has finally cleared the last procedural impediments, and our applications for $1,425,000.00 will be submitted in the near future. We expect to have provisional approval of our state grant some time in April. It is our firm hope that the state will stick to their original intent and provide the full 75% funding which we were led to believe would be provided. The Board notes with sadness the death of Edward Towne who, for many years, volunteered in the Childrens' Room. His cheerful smile and enthusiasm are greatly missed. In his memory the library has begun the development of "Eddy's Corner" which will contain material for and about "special children". The Board would like to note the resignation of Robert E. Bernardin who has moved to New Hampshire. His seven years of service on the Board is greatly appreciated and his presence in Town and on the Board will be missed. The Trustees would like to extend our thanks to the library staff for a job well done. Respectfully submitted, Harry W. Turner, Chairman Joanne Stevens, Treasurer Arthur Larson, Asst. Treasurer Mary Ellen Osgood, Secretary William B. Duffy E. William Hansen 42 School Department SCHOOL COmmITTEE Dear Neighbors, The North Andover School Conunittee believes that "Excellence is an attainable goal for the particular group of students the North Andover public school system serves." To fulfill this commitment to the community, each year the North Andover school system develops goals and objec- tives which support high expectations and standards for our students so that they ca~ reach their full potential. During the past year, the School Committee recognized that excellence is a responsibility shared by all participants in the process. Each school was required to develop an action plan to identify goals to strengthen student achievement and improve school climate. The development of the action plan was a shared responsibility of teachers, parents, and administration. As school action plans were developed, they were shared with the School Committee and the community. End- of-the-year progress reports were submitted to the School Committee for evaluation. While teacher empowerment and school-based management were important priorities which were reflected in school action plans, a number of connnittees were empowered to strengthen system-wide programs. System-wide committees studied the use of school facilities for recreational purposes and studied transportation of students to schools. A system-wide curriculum review and evaluation com- mittee developed a systematic evaluation plan that would ensure each component of the school sys- tem's curriculum would be reviewed on a four-year cycle. The North Andover School Conm~ittee would llke to express its appreciation to members of the staff and conununlty volunteers who served on committees that recognized the importance of public education in North Andover. In November the North Andover School Committee adopted a proposed budget for the 1989-90 budget. The proposed budget seeks to provide for increased enrollment with staff, space, and ma- terials; implement the school system master curriculum plan; provide mandated special education services; and support staff development opportunities. It also seeks to continue to improve main- tenance of facilities, begin a newly mandated program of asbestos removal, and improve transporta- tion services. The School Committee thanks the cc~unity for its financial support in the past school year and seeks its continued support in the next school year. AS we develop our goals and budget for the next school year, one problem exists that we have seen coming for many years, which will not go away. Our elementary schools are overcrowded. Ail of our schools are in need of repairs or renovations. Our school system has inadequate library, physical education, music, art, and remedial space. The current enrollment exceeds state recommended facility capacity standards. To address our problems and plan for the future, the School Committee has developed a master building plan. The 1988 town meeting authorized the School Building Committee to complete Phase One of the master plan that calls for the design and bid of a new elementary school at the Town Farm and design and bid of a new Thomson School to be built on the current site. In January by a 3-2 vote, the North Andover Board of Selectmen withdrew support for the construction of a school at the Town Farm site. During the ne×t few months you will be asked once again to approve the construction of two new elementary schools. Over the past three years both the School Committee and the School Building Committee have attempted to address the elementary school facilities problem and take affirmative steps toward the correction of the problem. We will need the support of the entire com- munity to fulfill our responsibilities for adequate educat4onal facilities for the students of North Andover. 43 Finally, we would like to thank the entire staff of our school system for their commitment to excellence. Respectfully submitted, Brian R. Donahue, Chairman Mark S. DiSalvo John J. Gaffny III Diane Huster Batal Joseph P. Welsh ANNUA~ REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS This past year has been an exceptionally productive one for the school system. The progress reported in the next several pages by principals and directors was made possible by the extra efforts of teachers and citizens working together to benefit our school children. Enrollment Student enrollment continues to increase significantly at the elementary level, and plans were made to add additional portable classroom space to the school system to meet enrollment needs. Enrollment at the Middle School stabilized temporarily, although our projections indicate increases within the next year. Our High School enrollment continues to decline slowly. This trend will continue for approximately three years before enrollment at this level will again increase. System-Wide Developments Curriculum Development - Significant activity has occurred in the area of curriculum revision and development throughout the past school year. In a plan developed in collaboration with school administrators and teachers, recommendations were made. There has been progress on all of the recommendations as follows: 1. A comprehensive curriculum needs assessment was conducted and results from over 500 individuals (teachers, administrators, students, parents, and other community members) were tallied, analyzed, and used as a basis for decisions about the curriculum review process. 2. A Curriculum Steering Committee composed of teachers, a parent, administrators and a student, was constituted and met regularly to implement all elements of the plan. They developed a system-wide mission statement for tke curriculum which pointed to directions for the review and revision of each curriculum area. They established a curriculum review cycle which requires that every subject area be reviewed on a four-year cycle, l~ithin this set cycle, the curriculum review of any one subject would take place over a two-year period. The steering coramittee created K-12 curriculum revision committees in Social Studies, Sciemce and Foreign Language, and in the fall will create the committees in Language/Arts, Reading and Guidance. 3. A budget to support the entire curriculum effort was developed and approved. 4. Finally, the Curriculum Steering COn~nittee began work to develop a comprehensive testing/assessment plan for the entire curriculum. We will engage the staff in a review of all current testing and make reco~tmendations by the end of the next school year for a more comprehensive and rigorous assessment program. The efforts in the area of curriculum have been outstanding, particularly due to the willingness of the North Andover staff to commit their time and energy to the process. Staff Development Activities - A program of professional activities was developed in collaboration with many principals and teachers. During the five half and one full curriculum day, a wide range 44 of content presentations w'ere made to the staff as well as opportunities for teachers to meet by buildings and across grade levels around specific topics and issues. Some of the most notable events included presentations on the writing process from the University of New Hampshire, the Newton Writing Project and workshops funded by a Federal Grant on the use of math manipulatlves and laboratory work in science. Other major presentations included reading and study skills by Dr~ Tom Devine (University of Lowell), inquiry and coverage as a central issue in High School education by Dr. Fred New,an (National Center of Effective Secondary Schools), and goodness in suhools by Dr. Sara Lightfoot (Harvard University). This last event was funded through the Educa- tion collaborative and sponsored by the North Andover Public Schools. Beyond these formal activities, a number of teachers and administrators sponsored several workshops and courses within the school system. ~hese included: Appleworks for teachers, peer coaching, programs in remedial reading, learning disabilities curriculum review and a series of artist presentations to K-12 art and music teachers. Much of the funding for these programs came from state or federal grants. Teacher Evaluation - A representative committee of staff was created by the Superintendent and Teachers' Association to study the present system. In January a first report of the committee was completed. This report recommended that options be provided for the current system and that the current system be strengthened and revised at a later date. During the school year, one option (peer coaching) was piloted and evaluated. This option involved eight pairs of teachers observing each other's classes and providing objective non-evaluative feed-back as a basis for continued growth in performance. At the end of the school year, the teacher evaluation committee met to review the results of the pilot and to discuss further activities. It was decided that two other options should be piloted during the next school year, and that the regular teacher evaluation system needed to be revised. The committee will oontinue its work during the next school year and present ideas to the Superintendent and Teachers' Association. Co~unit~ Relations - During last suntmer, a cormmunity relations plan for the North Andover schools was developed. This plan was reviewed by the system-wide PTASC and presented to the School Com- mittee in the fall. Many of the activities suggested in the plan were already in place, such as the system-wide advisory group (PTASC), as well as school n~wsletters, parent teacher organizations and advisory groups. Two or three new activities deserve mention. The system-wide newsletter was distributed through the mails to all postal customers twice a year in an attempt to provide infor- mation about the schools to the entire community. Second, a monthly article, "Schooline," appeared in the North Andover Citizen. This article was written by different members of the school staff on topics and issues of current interest. Third, in an effort to increase the number of volunteers who work in the schools, an in-service program was held at Franklin School for teachers and volunteer parents by an outside consultant. Finally, the Intergenerational project expanded from Bradstreetto Franklin and the Middle School. School Sponsored Community Programs - Michelle FitzPatrick directed Excel, evening and su~tmer schools, community schools and extended kindergarten. All programs continued to thrive with the exception of the conununity schools program, which has had decreasing enrollment over the past five years. A committee of interested citizens, including school PTO Chairs and town official% were asked by us to review this situation. As a result, a recommendation was made to the School Committee to reduce or eliminate this program. On all other fronts, these school-sponsored co~mnunlty programs continued to expand and grow. The Excel Program attracts a large number of youngsters during the school year to after-school programs. The summer school program has expanded to include more enrichment programs and the extended kindergarten continues to be highly popular with parents. Extended kindergarten this past year moved one of its two sessions to the Kittredge and next year, as a result of increasing enrollment in the elementary schools, will be holding both sessions at the Scout building of the Congregational Church. Not one of these efforts could have been accomplished without the considerable effort, the endorsement, and the active support of the entire staff. Channel 25 - Following are programs aired during the 1987-88 school year by general category: 1. School drama programs, including several classroom plays. 2. Faces in the classroom - Nine new half-hour programs were produced, and ali of last year's programs were re-broadcast. 45 Musical Programs Eleven musical programs were aired, including elementary, Middle School and High School band and choral concerts. P~blic Affairs Events - Several programs were aired, including League of Women Voters candidates' night, an education forum, a hazardous waste update, four AIDS awareness programs, and a program on carbon-monoxide poisoning from the Fire Department. Sports Events - We have continued to show all home basketball and football games, as well as adding occasional swiping, gyn~nastic and wrestling competitions. Special events within the schools - This area included the China project, an Excel project titled "Kids on Kids," a Smolak farm trip, a Speech Team competition, ele- mentary and Middle school talent shows, a special story time program connected to the School Library Week, "Completing the FAF," and "Eddie Was Here." programs and Activities Bradstreet Early Childhood Center The 1987-88 school year was one of enriching and evaluating the present programs. Curriculum: The math curriculum is now f~lly a hands-on program, with the math book used as an assessment tool. The whole language approach to teaching reading is being explored, and the staff would like to continue to develop this area next year. The newly adopted HBJ Handwritin~ program was implemented and moderately received. Readiness Classes: The readiness classes, Pre-First and Pre-Kindergarten, continue to be well accepted and successful. Children attending these programs again displayed a great d~al of growth. Several special needs students were successfully integrated into the Pre-First class. The longitudinal study monitoring the progress of former Pre-First and Pre-Kindergarten stu- dents has shown very positive results, particularly in the areas of study skills, peer interaction and self-esteem. Progress Report: A progress report was developed to inform parents of their child's adjust- ment to school. This was sent to parents after the first six weeks of school and was favorably re- ceived by parents. Grade Level. Meetings/Peer Observation: Teachers met once a month by grade level to co~%mu- nicate, to discuss and develop curriculum issues and to make decisions. Four teachers participated in observing each other teach. This will be encouraged again next year. Registration and Screening: Kindergarten screening was held again at the Trinitarian Congre- gational Church for 202 children. Four areas were included: gesell Readiness Test, Speech and Language, Eyes and Ears and Special Needs assessment. Results were compiled to determine correct placement for each child. Children who demonstrated some learning problems rather than "youngness" were placed in Kindergarten rather than Pre-Kindergarten. The team agreed that appropriate placement is important to help these children receive support and services as soon as possible. Parents were sent letters indicating the recommendation for their child's placement and were given the opportunity to conference with the Director. One hundred and two conferences were held during May and June. Parents were also invited to a Pre-K information night. Forty-three parents attended. Outreach: The 1987-88 action plan included goals to educate parents on child development and curriculum. Six teachers led ~n evening workshop on Mathematics Their Way. On two other eve- nings parents were invited to hear Stephanie Meegan discuss "Your Child's Self-Esteem" and "Peer- Proofing." The Center also invited visitors and hosted several local preschools, teachers from local school districts and others. We held Pre-First Information Night and invited parents to spend the day at school on Parents'School Day. Our volunteer program continues to be an important core value, and 153 parent~, senior citizens and high school students volunteered thi~ year at the school. 46 Teacher Exchanqe/Teacher Evaluation: Four Bradstreet Early Childhood Center teachers exchanged classes for tw~ days with first and second grade teachers to help gain an understanding of other grade levels and curriculum. Teachers also felt the need for a change in the present evaluation system. To help establish common language for teacher and evaluator, the teachers were given a copy of "The Skillful Teacher," which will be used as a reference tool in next year's evaluations. School/Director Evaluation: Results of an evaluation of this year's programs and the Director were positive. ~aggestions for improvement included the need for improved communications with special Needs, expansion of the literature program, and for the Director to set aside a spe- cific time to be available to talk to teachers. Plan: Action Plan - 1988-89: Several goals have already been suggested for the 1988-89 Action A Parent Resourca Committee to help make materials for classroom use. 2. A meeting with Grade 1 teachers in September to discuss transition of students. 3. Teacher evaluations will use terms from "The Skillful Teacher" and suggestions from this text. 4. An Emergency Dismissal system will be explored and established before November 1, 1988. 5. A meeting with Special Needs will be held before September 30, 1988, to establish the correct procedure for referrals and to discuss concerns and needs. 6. The new School Improvement Council will ass~s~ needs of th~ Center. These goals will be implemented to continue the core value of the Bradstreet Early Childhood Center of a caring and nurturing environment. 47 ~kinson Elementar~ School In the summer of 1987, the Administrative Staff were informed by the Superintendent of Schools that each building was to develop goals and action plans flowing from those goals. Considering that in the past, parents had little voice, if any, in what was going on in the schools and were asked to support and assist in what had already been formulated and decided, this became a major change of direction. Lines of communication and coordination between teachers and parents were informal and tended to be one way in nature. These had to be rebuilt or initiated as circumstances dictated. Informed parents were anxious for the opportunity; teachers were concerned with a usurpation of professional decisions. Our first attempts led us to undertake separate but equal committees with a joint con~mittee responsible for the coalescing of views and establishment of the goals and action plans. In retrospect, the actuality became a single joint committee that undertook the task of establishment of goals and objectives with a subsequent review and evaluation. (For next year, the joint co~nittee appears the most positive way to go.) Needless to say, it took several meetings to build a working relationship between parents and teachers, and discussions sometimes became vociferous. In the final outcome, both representa- tives of the parent group and the teachers decided on four broad-based goals, which were: 1. To integrate the Arts into the curriculum. 2. TO further develop student writing skills. 3. To develop a school climate which fosters and enhances good citizenship skills in school and in the co--unity. 4. To provide opportunity for parental involvement in school matters and to increase communication between parents and staff. Because of the formulation of these goals and the action plans developed jointly by parents and teachers, the Atkinson Elementary School enjoyed a truly magnificent year. Attendance at numerous programs of cultural value was supplemented by a larger variety of enrichment programs brought to the school than ever before. An in-depth exploration of the Chinese culture and accomplishments was undertaken via our school-wide "China Connection." The major portion of our youngsters were involved in the Writing Process Program, where daily writing was a prerequisite. Pen pals were developed by individuals in a number of classes. Partners in Pride actually fostered, supported, and aided classes working with other classes. The two prime examples were the joining of a fourth and seventh grade in the publication of a book featuring pupil writings, which was mutually edited and published via support groups, as well as fifth graders working with first graders in a similar vein. These activities could not but enhance each child's creativity and written expressiveness. In fostering a milieu supportive of parent involvement, one area that developed was in the involvement of parents in the decision of hiring teachers. After researching the process, a determination was made to initiate a joint team of parents and teachers as a screening committee in the narrowing of candidates down to a pool of qualified teacher candidates to be reviewed by the Principal with a subsequent recommendation to the superintendent. In its initial phase, there was some reluctance on the part of teachers to participate, but reports from those who did take part encouraged participation in future vacancies. Parents and teachers who did partici- pate, did so with great vigor and enthusiasm to find the best candidates. In fostering co~unication, a monthly calendar was inaugurated and all reports indicate that it is both welcome and of benefit to parents and staff to name but one of the conu~unication devices begun. In sugary, the Atkinson School has made significant positive qains in involving our parents in open, frank dialogue, and due to our sincerity have involved their participation to a degree unparalleled in the history of Atkinson Elementary School. This is not to say that false starts and lines of coordination and com~unicatlon that were presumed to be there--but were not--have not Occurred. They will be corrected. However, believing in the process of total involvement of the respective constituencies, the school shall continue to learn and to improve in the utilization of all our available resources, teachers, parents and community. The ultimate net result is the affording of every youngster cor~itted to our care, the very best that our total community can offer in the way of sound, basic education, enriched by every resource that we can bring to bear upon the process. 48 Franklim ~lementary School: Buildin~ Improvement~: The Franklin School physical plant has undergone changes--some to accommodate the need to house personnel and to promote maximum efficiency--others to enhance the appearance of the school grounds. The office area was enclosed, enabling the secretaries to work more effectively and with fewer interruptions. These partitions have done much to ensure the confidentiality of pupils' records and to provide some semblance of protection for the office machines. A second area was sectioned off in one of the classrooms to house the Guidance Counselors. The newly formed space has given privacy and conference space to Mrs. Schena and Miss Mueller. Part of the library has been designated as a computer corner so that teachers will have access to a number of computers and be better able to incorporate these learning tools into their programs. Mrs. Holmes and Mrs. Davis have scheduled their instructional period at times when the computers are not in use. The arrangement worked well, and until more space is available, the library computer area will remain intact. The Parent Teacher Organization shouldered the responsibility of beautifying the grounds around the Pranklln School and were imminently successful. The flowers and plants were carefully tended by dedicated parents and student gardeners and certainly added significantly to the appearance of the building. The report on the Franklin School physical plant would not be complete if mention were not made of the crowded conditions which are becoming more of a problem each year. With added staffing for Learning Disabled youngsters, along with increasing enrollment, space is at a premium. Many specialists work in bookrooms, closets, the cafeteria, and often must move to find available space. This is highly unsatisfactory and certainly detracts from the effectiveness of any program. The problem of space is evident in the closing of many grades because of overcrowding. Thus, youngsters are often forced to attend classes in out-of-district locations and separated from neighborhood friends. Such improvised housing is most unfortunate and certainly poses a serious problem for the community. Pupil Achievement: Pupil academics continue to reflect the dedication of the ~taff and the strength of the current curriculum. Reading scores are well above average throuqhout the grades and the stanines in all facets of the tests indicate a high level of achievement in intellectual endeavors~ This measure of success is vitally important to any school syste~ for a primary concern is to prepare the students for the future. Test scores are one indicator of the success of the established programs and should always be examined and analyzed by the administration and the teaching staff. Such scrutiny has been carried on this year, and methods of strengthening areas, such as math computation and reading comprehensio~ discussed at the vari- ous grade levels. Scores on standardised tests become an evaluative tool by which to measure existing practices and modify techniques and materials. Significant Events: This section of the report on the Franklin School will focus on the action plans, how they were implemented, and how their effects influenced curriculum and ~ttitudes o~r the past ten months. The Write-On Process addressed itself to fosterinq writing skills throughout the grades and was certainly a successful enterprise. Because of the multiplicity of its demands, the tendrils of this giant project sought out and encompassed a vast number of parents who, in turn, called upon acquaintances to take an active interest in the proceedings. In this way, the goal focusing on community involvement was being realized. ,with the spark kindled, the flame was nurtured through newsletters, volunteer programs and the various Councils. Of special note was the welcome input of Anne Murray, whose discourse on the issue of parent volunteers helped to promote positive attitudes toward parent helpers. The School Enrichment Council secured funds whereby a number of original assemblies were provided for the youngsters. Prom snakes to the Constitution, these cultural offerings were diversified and exciting. The youngsters enjoyed them thoroughly. As the year drew to a close, an artist, Richard Moss, challenged the pupils to produce a work of art suitable for display in the library. The result was a colorful and lively creation, a tribute to the pupils' enthusiasm and the artist's talent. The year's activities have surely been diversified. The interdisciplinary approach to the study of the Renaissance was another extensive project, which reached its fruition in June with a day of activities, plays, music and costumes. All the students took part in varying capacities and many gave evidence of a vast store of informa- tion concerning this period in history. Miss Kohl's and Mrs. Brown's students staged an excellent play on Michaelangelo, using the quiz show format, and many youngsters showed a genuine proclivity The goal of consideration for others was one sorely needed at the Franklin School, and an objective enthusiastically supported throughout the year. The teachers discussed stories in their readers, and the pupils evaluated the actions of the characters involved, evaluating their motives and assessing the impact of their works. Books such as The Hundred Dresses and the Tales o~f Hans Christian Andersen ware used to help pupils develop an empathy for others sm many a writing a~signment centered on understanding and acceptance. Fourth graders examined the forces of love and hate as presented by C. S. Lewis and Madeline L. Engle and learned to understand and appreciate individuality through E. B. White's Trumpet__°f the Swan. The success of name calling and hurt feelings were far less common this year. TOO, a greater feeling of shared experiences and comradeship pervaded the school. Making youngsters aware of their own worth and the dignity of others is an intrinsic value that cannot be ignored by educators. Another goal was initiated this year--the study of grouping practices at the Franklin School. A committee, headed by Miss Manzi and Mrs. Kedm~n, collected and ex~mined literature dealing with the assets and liabilities of both homogeneous and heterogeneous grouping. Schools were visited and many discussions ensued as to the relative merits of the two schools of thought. The result of this in-depth study was to modify the current methods of instructional grouping to allow for more heterogeneity of ability. The teachers at the various levels established classes which would span wider achievement levels and still allow for individuality. The new 5O approach in dividing for instruction will be evaluated throughout the coming year, with taacher and parental input playing a vital part in analyzing the success of these grouping procedures. C~nclusion: Many delightful and exciting events have enhanced the 1987-88 school year: A play on the Littlest Month performed by Mrs. 5onahue's remedial reading youngsters; field trips to literary performances; a lively debate on good and evil by advanced fourth graders. Yet through all these events runs the thread of learning--learning to think, to appreciate, to listen, to care. A school is established to teach pupils, to instill in them a love of knowledge, a thirst for discovery. Challenge them, dare them to think, broaden their realm of discovery and the task has been accomplished. While many goals are deemed vital in this age of change, the one unchanginq constant outcome must be to produce students with the tools to learn and the desire to achieve. 5~ Kittredqe Elementary School On opening day, the P.T.O. had a tea for parents new to the Kittredge School. It was well attended, with some parents joining the monthly P.T.O. meetings. According to our Action Plan of increasing community involvement, the following occurred: o Parent volunteers working in the classrooms, chaperoning field trips during school hours and weekend trips with the fifth grades. o Project charlfe volunteers assisted in grades 1, 3, and 5. o The School Improvement Committee held open meetings and worked very closely with the Enrichment Council in funding student programs. o Parents were involved with book binding for the first grades. o Student teachers were trained. o High School students assisted in the classrooms. o An O~e~ Eouse, Learning Fair, Science Fair, and school plays involved the community. o The Superintendent met with parents and discussed long-range plans. o Fund raising was supported by all parents. The money went to scholarships, field trips, Project Charlie, library and classroom donations, plus money for the copier (Xerox). The money raised was spent on things that would ultimately benefit the students. o Parent conferences were held. Each grade level met with all parents to discuss the results of testing and their students' progress. The safe school environment was enhanced by the staff updating the discipline code and setting high expectations of students. Hiring of new teachers encompassed a new format. Parents and teachers were trained in screening and interviewing candidates. The process went well, with some fine tuning evident for the coming year. Students' educational needs were the focal point of all instruction. Referrals were made, and student study teams discussed special programs for individuals. Remedial reading, learning disabilities, Chapter I and E.S.L. programs catered to students' needs. Self-esteem of students was bolstered by student council awards, job responsibility, star cards, plays and children publishing a book. High expectations by teachers made students aware of their capabilities. Teachers attended conferences and worked voluntarily on many committees. Mr. Deady participated on the Steering Com~nittee, Handwriting Committee, AIDS Committee, and Child Abuse Committee. A successful school year was accomplished by the staff, parents, and the principal working together for the benefit of all students. Thomson Elementary School Once again, this year was very exciting at Thomson School. It was the first year that we developed an Action Plan. The teachers, parents, and Principal met on a number of occasions to develop a plan to improve some areas of our school. Some of th~ areas have not been completed, and we will continue to work on them during the cominq year. AS a result of our plan, we developed a homework policy which was w~ll received by the parents. Our library improved greatly, even though we did not complete all we wanted. 52 However, it will be studied more this coming school year. The teaching staff did a great deal of work with teaching critical thinking in our total curriculum. We will continue to develop lessons and work with our workshop leader in this area. The teachers and students participated in a school-wide writing process project. The fourth and fifth grade students did a great deal of creative writing as a major part of their E~gl~sh curriculum. The teachers used this as a way of developing the students' proficiency in language skills, rather than to use worksheets and textbooks. The students also used a word processing program to put some of their stories on the computer. This was another way of motivating students to do their creative writing, As a culminating activity, the P.T.O. gave us money to buy a binding machine and necessary supplies to enable us to publish booklets. These booklets contained a writing sample of every child and each child at that grade level received a copy of th~ booklet. One of the most exciting birthday. The parents, students, the plans for the April 29, 1988, closer than before. events this year was the celebration of Thomson School's 64th teachers, and Principal spent a great deal of time developing celebration. It helped make all members of the school even The Thomson School did develop a procedure for screening potential candidates who wish to become a part of our staff. This procedure was jointly developed by teachers, parents, and administration. We have ~sed the procedure once, and it worked out very well. Our School Improvement Council met and funded a number of cultural programs that were brought into the school for our students. The following is a list of some of the programs: 1. StrQmberg and Cooper - Mimes. 2. Ned DeLaney - Author/Illustrator. 3. Greg McGuire - Author/Illustrator. 4. Hitchhiker's Guide to the Constitution. 5. Jennifer Justice - Poet. 61 The History of Rockets - David Hessions. 7. New England Theater Guild (Rudyard Kipling). 8. Mr. and Mrs. Fish. North Andover Middle School Curriculum Over this past year, many improvements and modifications of programs continued to take place. AS a result of a two-year study of the seventh and eighth grade reading program by the school's reading curriculum review team, a new approach to the teaching of reading at these grade levels was instituted this year. As opposed to a basal program, this approach utilizes a wide variety of materials with the central focus being the novel. Every student read and analyzed a minimum of four novels from a pre-determined list. In addition, vocabulary study, reading and study skills related to the co~tent areas, the newspaper, non-fiction, and periodicals were all included as components of the program. Seven English teachers representing each of the three grade levels completed the second year of a two-year National Excellence in Education Grant, which focused on process writing utilizing technology. This project enabled these teachers to revise the school's writing cur- riculum, incorporating the process writing approach in conjunction with word processing on the Apple computers in our lab. Next year, as a result of these efforts, an improved, coordinated writing curriculum will be in place for all students at all grade levels in the school. A committee of staff members was formed to provide a vehicle to ensure the incorporation of study skill instruction in all curriculum areas. Through the efforts of this committee, skills were identified to be taught at each grade level. These skills will be addressed at the designated grade level starting next year. In support of the direction and activities of the system-wide Curriculum Revision Plan, several staff representatives are serving on the Curriculum Steering committee, as well as the revision committees in the areas of Science, Social Studies, and Foreign Language. 53 Student Laaderahip Again this year, a number of our students participated in the Greater Lawrence Middle Level Leadership Program. Student leaders from twelve schools in Greater Lawrence met regularly throughout the year in a collaborative effort to develop leadership skills, schoolwide projects, and events for middle school students in Greater Lawrence. AS an outgrowth of this program, a group of students under the leadership of Mr. Richard Lombard, voluntarily undertook to sand, refinish, and re-cover seats in the school's auditorium. We applaud the initiative of this group of students as they displayed a great sense of initiative and pride in their school. The North Andover Middle School also again participated in the Greater Lawrence Academic Bowl. Paired with the Arlington School in Lawrence, the team shared first place in the round-robin competition for the second consecutive year. Enrichment Programs A number of enrichment and activity programs were scheduled at the school this year, thanks to the staff, the Middle School Parent-Teacher Improvement Council, and the North Andover Enrichment Council. Included were an authors program, a mini artist-in-residence program, which resulted in a Medieval Fair for grade six students, Stromberg and Carlson, a visit by Plimouth Plantation "inhabitants," Spectrum Percussion Program, Shakespeare Assembly, Mark Twain program, and the World of gnakes. Beyond these activities, each team conducted field trips to broaden the curriculum. Included was the extremely well received seventh grade program presented by the North Andover Historical Society. Building Improvements During the summer of 1987, a major portion of the interior of the building was repainted. Also, exterior lighting in the front door area was upgraded. New front drapes were installed in the auditorium. The gym floor and auditorium stage were completely re-finished. During the su~er of 1988, the remainder of the building will be painted, floor tile replacement will begin, the remainder of the auditorium stage curtains will be replaced, front door replacement will take place, along with some window shade replacement. While extensive use of the building beyond school hours continues to place great strain on the physical plant, much has been done in the past few years to re-vitalize the building and to improve working conditions for both staff and students. Student Services This year a new program was implemented to assist students struggling to cope with the demands of the academic program and with emotional issues. The Outreach Program was staffed by a teacher and an aide. Reaching approximately twenty students, the program was very successful. With some modifications planned for next year, it is felt that this program will qreatly serve the intended population. Programs were developed by the school's guidance counselors designed to increase counselor/ student contact. Each grade eight student is seen individually by a counselor a minimum of two times annually. The School Improvement Council has agreed to underwrite the funding for an After-School Activities Coordinator for next year. It is expected that an increase of after-school programs will be available to students. Other Significant Events At the conclusion of the school year, the first annual Recognition Night %~s held. Those students who had earned all A and E grades in all subjects all year were honored at this reception, along with their parents. Class Night and Graduation, two annual grade eight events, were again extremely successful as were the several drama productions and the yearbook. 54 Parent involvement at the school continues to be very high. Volunteers contribute greatly in such areas as the Safety Check Program, social events, open house programs, etc. This year, in particular, much effort went into the school's birthday party, which was celebrated a~ part of National Middle School Week. This year parents were directly involved in the staff selection process as members of the screening committee. Also, this year for the first time, several senior citizens volunteered to assist in classroom and activity programs. Their willingness to assist was greatly appreciated. The Principal continues to be greatly impressed by the enthusiasm and efforts of both staff and students, as well as by the support and assistance given by the parents. Through their combined and cooperative efforts, we are able to continue to make progress toward our overall goals and our commitment to excellence. North Andover ~iqh School (Note: This report represents Mr. Desmond's twenty-second and final report as the Principal of our High School. He has been named Principal Emeritus by the School Committee.) Throughout the years, our students have certainly performed well in the National Merit Scholarship competition, and this year is no exception. For~ the first time in my recollection, the cutoff scores for designating commendation and semi-finalists were both changed. The score for commendation was moved to 180, and the score for semifinalist, different for each state, was 203. The fact that these scores changed, and usually they rise, is an indication that students who enter the competition score higher. This year, we had thirteen students were awarded Letters of Commendation, and three students who were Finalists. Two of those Finalists were awarded scholarships. Letters of Commendation: Lizetta H. Brown, Suzanne L. Carey, Suzanne E. Carlson, Clement W. Chun, Douglas R. Dreffer, Jay Gilmartin, Susan J. Greenwood, Andrew E. Larson, Maura A. McClung, Matthew J. Meagher, Danielle L. Page, Tamara Petronio, and Dwight T. Todd Finalists: Lisa Clayton, Michele Gilbert, and Stephen C. Silberman. Merit Scholarship: Michele Gilbert Corporate Scholarship: Lisa Clayton National Achievement Scholarship Program for Outstanding Negro Students: Lisa Clayton. The graduating Class of 1988 measures up to previous classes, in that 84% will attend college. Fifteen percent will attend a two-year college, and an additional sixty-nine percent will attend a four-year college. Our students won more than their share of significant awards. For example, Michele Gilbert was one of only forty students in the country who won scholarship prizes in the Westinghouse Science Talent Search Program. Michele was named to the "All U.S.A. Academic Second Team"--this was a first for our school. Finally, Michele was a first-place winner in the Massachusetts State Science Fair that was worth $1,000. Christopher Brogan and Joseph Sibol won National Council of Teachers of English Writing awards. Our Math Team won the Division II Small Schools State Championship and Captain Clement Chun ranked 30th of 4913 students from 133 high schools in the Commonwealth. Two seniors, Susan Greenwood and Joseph Sibol, were cited by Chancellor Joseph Duff, University of Massachusetts, A~erst, for academic excellence in competition conducted by the University. Our Spanish students participated in a new program, the Spanish Academic Bowl, with other schools in the Merrimack Valley. This proved to be a worthwhile endeavor, and we hope to continue in that competition. The Visiting Committee fro~ the New England association of Schools and Colleges rendered its report in the middle of January 1988. This report has been widely distributed among our 55 faculty and community. The Commission of Public Secondary Schools notified us of their approval and our continuing accreditation. Highlights of the report are listed below: a. Bchool has a strong cellege preparatory program. b. School has a corresponding weakness in non-college programel c. Mandate to resolve physical problems with the open classrooms. d. Funding for all programs should be increased. e. Expand student services, particularly in guidance. f. Increase shared decision-making opportunities among the professional staff. g. Noted strength and competence of staff. h. Cited the excellent scheol climate, discipline, and friendliness. i. Cited the effectiveness of the Instructional Materials Center. parents, Plan. Under the direction of Arthur Hamel and Dick Rozzi, a special committee of teachers, and students has taken the recommendation~ and included them in tke School's Action During the past year, our students and teachers were involved with a number of highly successful programs. Some of these were new and others have long-standing status in our school. One of the more ambitious endeavors that required time, energy and talent, was our Foreign Language department's first secondary school exchange with a school in Spain. Ms. Lita Fernandes and Mrs. Kirki Thompson accompanied fifteen students to Logrono, ~pain, for a three-week study, travel and homestay. Our students were linked with a small Jesuit school for this study. In the fall, students from the Centre Sogrado Cerazon School will complete the exchange by coming to our town and school. The funds for this program were raised by the teachers, students, and parents. In excess of $4,400 was raised. The money will be used to fund educational expenses for the students from Spain. Mrs. Sandra Rasmussen, teacher of German, was awarded a week-long study fellowship by the Goethe Institute. This was an advanced study program that focused on the unique problems of the city of Berlin located in East Germany and separated from the Communist sector by the infamous Berlin Wall. Mrs. Rasmussen participated with others from several European countries. The purpose of the program was to provide the teachers with information and materials that could be used in their classes with their studentsl A highlight for our music department was the trip to and performances at Disneyworld. Sixty-four students and a dozen parents made the trip with Band Director, Walter Selima. Again, this was a first for our school, and it required a monumental effort on the part of parents, students, and Mr. Selima to raise the funds for this trip. The annual Cabare~ under the direction of Ms. Beth Graham and Mr. Walter Selima, was received very well by all in attendance. This event showcases the talents of our students and serves as a fundraiser for scholarships and music department awards. Each year our students participate in the Greater Lawrence Bar Association's "Law Day Speech Contest." One of our students, Joseph Blandini, Class of 1988, won $300 for his first- place award. North Andover's literary publications, under the advisorship of Mrs. Margaret Hannum, assisted by Joel Groessel, Art, received another national ranking of excellence from the National Council of Teachers of English. The student editors, Amy Bailey, Chris Brogan, Liz Butler, Sue Carlson, Lisa Clayton, Tim Howard, ~im Hurley, and Joe Sibol, and the other student members of the staff are to be co--ended for assembling and publishing such a fine piece of work. The Massachusetts State Poetry Society awarded prizes to the following winners from our school: Chris Gworek 3rd Prize Tiffany Todd 1st Honorable Mention Stephanle McGowan 3rd Honorable Mention Allyson Eng 4th Honorable Mention Harriet Tenenbaum 5th Honorable Mention 56 The Johnson Chapter of the National Honor Society had an active year. The service that the members of this Society render to our school and community may appear to be less dramatic or visible than other endeavors, but nonetheless, are no less significant. Their bloodmobile collected 110 pints for the American Red Cross. The members also volunteer their time for a Sunday Telethon for the America~ Heart Association. They raised over $5,000 for this worthwhile organization. Tutoring by the members amounts to over 100 hours each week to help fellow students overcome learning difficulties. The final project initiated by the society was their adoption of a nine-year-old Indonesian boy through the Poster Parents Plan. Members donate their money each month to fund this worthwhile project. It is refreshing to have funds "raised" for someone other than ourselves! The Speech Team, under the direction of Mrs. Muriel Brown, had a fine season. Several students qualified and participated in the State Tournament. The following students placed in State competition: Michele Gilbert, 2nd, Radio; Joe Blandini, 3rd, Duo Interpretation; Diane Brown, 5th, Children's Literature; Eileen Katis, 3rd Duo Interpretation; and the Multiple Reading Team, Tim Howard, Michele Gilbert, Jim Hurley, Maura McClung, Diane Brown, Eileen Katis, and Rick Butler finished 6th. I am grateful to Mrs. Brown for her contribution to this important part of our program over the past two years. I am pleased to report that our Parent Advisory Committee enjoyed a successful year and supported several school ~D0jects. I thank Arthur Namel and R~chard Rozzi for their assistance with that organization. The PAC was active in the followlng major activities: a. School evaluation and subsequent visit by the NEASC b. Published school "Newsletter" c. Screening, interviewing, and greeting candidates for principalship. d. Student dances and activities. e. Parent orientation programs. f. Teacher Appreciation Day. g. School Improvement Council. The successes of our athletic program are a tribute to the dedicatdon of our student athletes, the quality of our coaching staff and encouragement of the Town in general. League championships were won by the following teams: football, boys' soccer, wrestling, boys' track, and glrls' basketball team. The football team came within "less than one win" in its bid for the school boy super bow1. The boys' soccer team advanced to the semi-finals in the North Sectional, while the girls' basketball team advanced to the Division II North finals. Our wrestling team, under the tutelage of Coach Tug Crozier, assisted by Dave castricone, won everything--they were League, sectional, and Division II State Champions. The academic curriculum in the high school is quite strong. The report of the Visiting Co~titee contains a number of recommendations which emphasize that view. In closing my final report, there is little to say that has not been said--I have been fortunate to have been associated with all the fine people of North Andover High and in our Town. I thank the members of the School Committee, past and present, for their assistance, guidance, and support. 57 Technoloqy Elementary 1. Four additional computer stations were added to each elementary school building. These computers were used in classrooms by teachers in grades 1-5. The hardware was made mobile to facil- itate the moving from classroom to classroom. 2. Much software was purchased and used by teachers in all curricula areas. Demand for new, worthwhile software continues to grow. 3. SRA mathematics software was used in grades 4-5 at all schools. This ensured that all students in every elementary school would have time to access computer stations during each week. Grade 3 at Franklin School piloted the SRA mathematics software with one class. The adventure was very successful with these students. 4. Laser players and appropriate laser disks were provided to each school. Science teachers participated in a workshop at the Merrimack Education Center (MEC) to pick out science courseware to use with classes in the coming academic year. 5. Word processing skills were taught to students in elementary schools. This process will set the stage for future curriculum revisions in the area of writing. 6. Volunteers to assist in the computer program at the Franklin School were found. Three women assisted teachers at this building while students were on the computers in the library. This initial effort to rejuvenate the concept of "parental involvement" took place in a totally positive manner. Feedback indicates that continued community support should be considered to assist classroom teachers. Middle School 1. The federally funded Excellence in Education grant was most successful. Seven teachers completed year two of the grant. Accomplishments include: revision of the Language Arts curriculum to include the Process Approach to Writing, development of a writing lab implementation handbook to be disseminated within the system for usage at all levels, a volume of teaching modules that could be used by other middle schools around the state, initial proposals for a future grant to assist the Office of Education in diffusing the program accomplishments as a certified document. 2. with a revised schedule for computer usage, and with the cooperation of the Middle School staff, the computer facilities were utilized 93% of the class periods during the school year. These data reflect the growing interest in both computer-assisted instruction and the word processing capabilities of the present setup at the school. 3. Software was purchased and loaded onto the hard disk to assist the Special Education Department in its continuing quest to service the students within the building. 4. The Voyage of the Mimi interdisciplinary program was implemented at the grade seven level for all students. It was previously piloted with one group of students the year before. The program continues to be a highlight for th~ students involved. 5. A writing workshop was facilitated by the school Language Arts teachers as part of curriculum day activities. The activity served as a starting point for the future Language Arts Curriculum Revision Committee. 6. Through a Capital Aid Improvement Grant, the library added a compact disk player and software to enhance the search of topics and literature for student usage. The Grolier Encyclopedia laser materials are easily accessible by students while using the sophisticated hardware. This hardware and courseware will prove to be an important part of the library offerings in the future. High School 1. A Computer Assisted Design (CAD) system was piloted by the Industrial Arts Department. This software will become a necessary part of the curriculum for all students interested in archi- 58 tectural drafting as a career. The system has the potential of doing blueprints using the pur- chased high speed plotter. 2. The computer room in the mathematics area was wired to a hard disk, enabling classes to take advantage of the huge volumes of software mounted on the disk. Pascal classes are now able to store programs on the hard disk, making floppy disks unnecessary for entire classes. 3. The computer attendance program "RITA" was implemented at the high school. This software calls all students' home phone numbers, checking the absenteeism of students. There are other advantages of this device for announcement purposes that could be utilized. 4. Laser technology was implemented in both the Science and Art Departments. The technology was quickly appreciated by these respective departments, and expanded usage is planned for next year as more hardware has been requested. System-Wide 1. A Computer Advisory Council was formed, with all schools represented. The initial charge given to the comalittee was to help revise the Three-Year Technology Program Update. This challenge was met, and the document was presented to the School Conm/ittee and discussed at the June meeting. The committee will continue to function, serving as a source of vision for future computer directions at all levels. 2. A second Appleworks course was offered to interested teachers. The course attracted 25 members of the school coramunity, and three graduate credits were earned by participants through Salem State College. 3. The Town/School mainframe computer was purchased. All schools were wired and n~t- worked onto the host system. The first year of the system will be devoted to financial functions, followed by word processing, and eventually, student records will become uniform on the mainframe. Ph~{sical Education, ~ealth, and Athletics Physical Education 1. The high school physical education curriculum was updated and met accreditation standards of the New England Assuciation of Schools and Colleges. 2. Students in grades 4 through 12 were tested using the Presidential Physical Fitness Testing program. Students in grades K-3 were tested using an adapted version of these tests. North Andover students continued to score well in these tests when compared with students their age throughout the country. 3. The physical education staff successfully conducted field days at each school. 4. North Andover participated in all Greater Lawrence Educational Collaborative physi- cal education activities. a. North Andover hosted the seventh grade basketball tournament for boys and girls. Twenty of our students participated. Mrs. Bavendam and Mr. Lombard served as coaches. b. Twenty-four North Andover students participated in the high school volleyball tournament for boys and girls. Mr. cavanaugh and Miss Lawlor were coaches. c. Thirty North Andover students participated in the fifth grade field day. Mr. Forgione and Mr. Pritchard were coaches. Middle School staff, Mrs. Bevendam, Mr. Lombard, and Miss Lawlor, conducted demonstration, involving more than fifty boys and girls, for parents during 5. The a superb student Spring Thing. 6. Ail staff members, with a single exception, attended at least two professional development workshops during the course of the year. some of these workshops also included health education. 59 Realth Education 1. A full-time health education teacher was hired at the Middle School. 2. Two health education curriculum workshops were conducted by a professional consultant, funded through the Govein~r's Alliance Against Drug~ grant. Th~ purpose was to update and improve our current curriculum. 3. Three elementary teachers assisted the American Heart Association with a year-long study in health education. 4. A four-lesson unit on AIDS was incorporated in the curriculum and taught to every high school student who received parental approval. A parent information night was held in th~ high school auditorium prior to beginning the unit. This unit will continue to be taught in grade 10 health education classes. 5. Guest speakers and other special presentations were featured at all levels to enhance the program. Included was the utilization of high school students who spoke to students in grades 5 and 7 about peer pressure and other problems associated with adolescence and growing up in North Andover. 6. A $7,856 grant was received from the ~overnor's Alliance Against Drugs to help establish prevention and intervention programs. Our specific objectives ~re to improv~ the curriculum, establish a student leadership program in grades 6 through 12, and improve adult education and community awareness. Intramural Program A variety of intramural activities were conducted for students throughout the year: Nigh School - Basketball, Volleyball, Floor Hockey. Middle School - held Hockey, Fun Run, Volleyball, Basketball, Floor Hockey In addition, boys and girls in grades 5 through 8 had the opportunity to participate in the Saturday Morning Basketball Program, funded by the North Andever Community Center. The program was directed by high school basketball coaches Michael McVeigh and Jack Stephenson. They were assisted by other high school basketball coaches and varsity and junior varsity players. Athletics 1. North Andover is the 1987-88 recipient of the J. Hyland Trophy, awarded annually to the school in the Cape Ann League with the best won/loss record. 2. A chemical awareness program and "Meet the Coaches" night was held in December. 3. All North Andover team captains attended a chemical awareness program conducted by the Cape Ann League. 4. Five North Andover teams won league championships. The wrestling team was crowned State Champions in division two. Other league championship teams were: football, boys' soccer, girls' basketball, and boys' track. 5. North Andover hosted: a. Nine MIAA state tournament contests. The Greater Lawrence Holiday Hoop Festival for girls' basketball. c. The Cape Ann League winter cheerleading competition. d. The North Andover Holiday Ice Hockey tournament. e. The state sectional wrestling tournament. Bay State Games: boys' and girls' soccer, field hockey, boys' and girls' basketball, wrestling, girls' and boys' track and field. North Andover was a regional site. 60 Fine Arts Currently, at the elementary level, there are three and one-half teachers instructing classes in general and instrumental music. Rehearsals for the elementary band and chorus, made up of fourth and fifth graders, were held weekly after school at the Eranklin School. The All Elementary Band grew to ninety-five members and the All Elementary Chorus to one hundred forty, necessitating the formation of an additional group and an additional weekly rehearsal. During the year, the elementary band and elementary chorus visited schools and provided both day and evening musical programs for the schools and the community. The elementary chorus performed at the Collins Center under the sponsorship of the Greater Lawrence Regional Collaborative, along with choruses from Andover, Lawrence, Methuen, and Haverhill. Through a great deal of effort and commitment on the part of the staff, the North Andover Public Schools Music Associates, the community, and local businesses and civic organizations, the North Andover High School Rand performed at Disney World, Orlando, Florida. The Fine Arts Department is particularly indebted to the Stevens Foundation for its ongoing support of the arts. In addition to "Cabaret Night," the Fine Arts staff, in cooperation with the North Andover Public Schools Music Associates, added an additional "Talent Show" to spotlight the talents of elementary and upper elementary students on separate evenings. Proceeds from these events purchased awards, such as sweaters, "letters,~' jackets, and other items. The Fine Arts Department, as well as the North Andover community, was deeply saddened by the loss of Mrs. Marilyn Axtin, elementary art teacher, who had served the community for over twenty years. Mrs. A×tin was an inspiration to her students and fellow teachers, providing them with a love, respect, and appreciation for life and all thinqs beautiful. She will be missed. Elementary art students took part in civic art activities. Middle School art students made up permanent displays and murals throughout the Middle School, while High School students took part and received local and state-wide recognition in such projects a~ the Boston Globe Soholastic Arts Award Program. Dur£ng the past year, art work was consistently displayed in Stevens Library and local stores. Art exhibits were held during the year at the North Andover High School Library, at the Middle School during "Spring Thing" and at each of the elementary school~ daring "Learning Fairs." North Andover, for the second consecutive year, was awarded a grant from the Cultural Collaborative to attend the "Interchange" program at the "Berkshire School." Classroom teachers took part in workshops that included dance, sculpture, poetry, music, and radio workshop drama. Among the many benefits derived from this program was a series of curriculum day workshops sponsored by the Fine Arts Department under the direction of Beth Graham, using the techniques and format of "Interchange" to bring art and music staff together. Workshops presented were: Theatre Improvisation, Creative Movement, Mime, Music (percussion), Integrated ~rts Curriculum (Harry Semergial, Vitchburg State College), Sculpture, Stage Design (Richard Moss). Another outgrowth of "Interchange" was the Artist-in-Residence Program, "Medieval Carnival'' at the Middle School. Among the many programs, events and activities of this past year, taken part in or sponsored by the Fine Arts Department staff, were: Winter and Spring Concerts Elementary Musicals N.A.H.S. Marching Band Performances-- Veteran's Day Parade Ail Rome Football Games Santa Claes Parades in Aedover and North Andover St. Patrick's Day Parades in Disney World Parade Columbus Day Parade, Boston Artist-in Residence "Les Miserables" field trip. Cabaret Night 61 School Libraries Elementary Over the last several years the school librarians have pushed for improvement in terms of staff, facilities, and resources because thesa are the main components of an effective library pro- gram. This year, the addition of a second full-time professional librarian has made a tremendous impact on the availability and quality of library services to the five elementary schools. Pourth and fifth graders benefited from weekly library skills classes taught by the librarians, and they also benefited from the increased time their librarian was present to guide their independent research and planning of lessons and for consultation on curriculum, library collection development, and special projects. Many have begun to recognize the advantages to students of integrating library skills with classroom curricula. Management and operation of the facilities have also improved because there is now more day-to-day contact between librarians and their assistants and between librarians and principals. These were some of the many things the two professional librarians accomplished in the elementary schools this past year. Te instruct students in library skills, Donna Looser used imaginative activities, such as a shelving game, a "seven seas" fact and fantasy mobile, and a unit on mythology, which were aimed at getting Atkinson, Kittredge and Thomson students up and looking for books and information. Meg Holmes led Franklin students on a year-long "quest" to find the key to the library and a "Read the USA" challenge. She also acted as a co-leader of a Junior Great Books Discussion Group, designed to foster critical thinking skills. Literature and reading were stressed throughout the year. Mrs. Looser helped coordinate her libraries with the Guest ~Bther Program, sponsored by the North Andover Enrichment Council and actively involved her programs to support Atkinson School's special focus on the "China connection." Mrs. Holmes worked closely with the Franklin School's "Write On" program, dropping into fifth grade classes for "poetry break" and hosting young author luncheons. For School Library Media Month, Mrs. Holmes coordinated the Second Annual Guest Reader program of local V.I.P.s reading aloud in all the elementary schools. She cooperated with the Stevens ~emorial Library to have every Bradstreet ECC student register for their OWn public library card. Mrs. Looser organized a very successful "Book-a-gram" exchange among all the second grades in town. ~n addition, Mrs. Looser played an important role throughout the year at Thomson School, where the library was a part of the school action plan for 1987-BS. Even as the librarians were improving the amount and quality of library services available to their school communities, they were being restricted by the facilities and conditions in which they work. Mrs. Looser did some creative rearranging of space at Thomson~s Library and circulating of collections of materials to classrooms, but could do nothing about Thomscn's school-wide lack of space, which limits use of the library to t'wo days per week. For the first time, Atkinson Library was totally dedicated library space. Mrs. Loeser was able to create a reference area for individual research, but was not able to ope~ the library daily because of staffing limitations. The decision was made to mov~ Kittredge's library to the basement for 1988-89, which greatly increases the potential for more and better library service and usage there, although staffing will still be a problem. The constraints of Bradstreet's mini-size library were unchanged, and library and shool staff continued to make the best of a poor situation. Franklin, open daily and staffed by an assistant, not a professional librarian, has had its accessibility limited because it is now also ~sed for math computer classes. The area of resources has gradually improved each year, although the budget still only enables us to buy one-third of a book per elementary student. Contributions by some parent/teacher organizations helped provide addi~ionai materials. Block Grant funds were allocated to libraries this year and were used for building a core collection of folk literature in cash library. In addition, some funds were used to formalize a K-12 library skills curriculum. In suT~mary, this school year ha~ been l~inly a satisfying one for the elementary school librarians. Advances and achievements have been mad~ in providing the children of North Andover the professional library services they deserve and need. Staff and students have been quick to respond by supporting the library program and by demanding more of what they recognize as truly beneficial. They want, as the librarians want for them, more library staff, better facili- ties, and the best possible resources. The elementary libraries are on the right trank, and hopefully, can continue on that track. 62 Middle School We have just completed a very busy year and have finally struck a balance between classes doing research and students using the library independently during study hall. the problem of an empty library is virtually non-existent, and the related difficulty of convincing teachers to bring students to the library to do research, or to send them on their own, has similarly almost disappeared. Library Programs: Bookwhiz: This is a favorite among the students. It is a computer program in which the user chooses various features of a book he or she would like to read and then is presented with a number of titles, with summaries, that have those qualifications. We don't have all the books listed on the program, but the students know that beforehand and therefore don't get too frustrated when a particular title is unavailable. CD Rom: We have received and put in place the electronic encyclopedia. It proved to be easy to learn to use, for the students as well as adults, and the students love it. The biggest advantage from their point of view, aside from the novelty of it all, is being able to make copies of encyclopedia articles. The CD Rom is a worthwhile stepping-stone to on-line research. New Books: We added over 1,000 books to our inventory this year, and that's one of our biggest areas of progress. We are completing the third year of our five-year plan. The goal was to add 1,000 books per year for five years, to improve the quality of our collection; i.e., to have enough titles to call the facility a real library. By now both teachers and students are confident the library can usually meet their needs. Our goal was to have 10,000 books by the end of the five years (June 1990), and we have over 7,000 now. The reason we are somewhat behind the 1,000 per year goal is that the first year we did some heavy weeding. The biggest problem arises next year; there is no place to put any more books. Trivia Contest: TO celebrate School Library Media Month, we held a trivia contest. We made up one reference question for each grade every day for about two weeks. At the end, we added up the correct answers, and the student in each grade with the most correct answers won. Many Of the winners were announced over the P.A. system, and each winner received a free pass to Showcase Cinema, plus refreshments. Library Instruction: Sixth, seventh, and eighth grades all received approximately one week each of library skills and reference instruction. Teachers helped in the planning of the reference unit and looked forward to their classes' turn. They also helped carry it out. Aside from these programs, we are simply attracting more people, students and teachers alike. When no class is scheduled in the library, the library is often full with students choosing the library over study hall. Unfortunately, our biggest problem is still space. When we do have a class scheduled, which is often, we have to close, leaving a lot of disappointed students, and more vocal than the students, teachers who say their students can't get to the library when they need it. Also, now that the books have been returned, we are out of space. We now have books on the shelves above our highest bookcases; neither adults nor students can reach them, no less read the titles. There are shelves in the budget for next year, though we barely have the space for them. We will be covering windows and blocking our view of students to add the shelves. After this year, we do not know where we will put our new materials. Since North Andover Middle school renovations are not scheduled for years to come, the problem will get worse before it gets better. It is important to note that progress has been significant because both the administration and School Committee have recognized the importance of the library and supported the necessary changes. Righ School Attendance/Use: Statistics show that the I.M.C. had a dramatic increase in use this year. The number of classes who used the library for research increased from 1,953 classes during 1986-87 to 2,100 this year. In addition, the number of students on individual passes increased from 13,923 to 20,823. Computer use remains high. 63 Professional Development: The entire I.M.C. staff participated in the ~ppleworks course this year. Sharpening our computer skills in the areas of word processing, data base and spread- sheet h~s already increased ~ur eff±cieacy in the day-to-day clerical work, Collection Development: The collection was weeded extensively o~ out-of-date and obsolete materials, particularly in the areas of fiction, career, reference and social sciences. With this year's block grant funds, we are now ordering many new reference books to replace the dis- carded materials. In addition, the shelving for the newly created reference area is on order and will be installed over the summer° Library Instruction: Instruction classes continued as usual. ~he Social Studies and English Departments continue to be satisfied with this program. We will continue to up-date and improve this program. Audio Visual: ~ne I.M.C. continues to de a strong business in audio-visual requests. We loaned 2,040 pieces of equipment and made approximately 100 video tapes. Special ~ducation In-Service Training: A wide range of in-service opportunities was offered and accessed. For example, two principals, several parents, regular education teachers, and special education teachers participated in the Disability Awareness Program offered by the Children's Museum over a two-month period. T~is program, available at no cost to the school system, offered a financial incentive for substitute teacher coverage. A year-long course on Learning Disabilities was offered by a member of the staff. Through the combined efforts of the Special Education Department and the Special Needs Parent Advisory Council, quest lecturers provided monthly in-service to the con,unity. Parent Involvement: The Parents Advisory Council for special Education has worked hard this year to redefine the goals of their organization and to work more effectively with the Special Education Department and the school system as a whole. Monthly meetings have been well-planned and offered a variety of topics with the goal of increasing membership, as well as providing information and support to parents. ThePAChas become increasingly active in those issues which affect all students in the community, in the belief that a special education system can only be as good as the regular education system which supports it. Program Development: Variations on the traditional "pullout" service delivery model have begun and hopefully will expand in the 1988-89 school year. These include team teaching (regular education and special education teachers, as well as two special education service providers such as a teacher and a speech therapist); the use of special education funded aides within regular classrooms; and the integration of therapies within the classroom environment. During the 1988-89 school year, we intend to begin a language-based class, to allow those kindergarten-aged students with moderate language and learning delays the opportunity to be educated within the school system. Future programmatic needs must address the increase of special needs students within the community, without sufficient space to accommodate local program development. While North Andover has perhaps overrelled upon the Greater Lawrence Educa- tional Collaborative to meet the educational requirements of special needs students, participating collaborative cormmunities are also hampered by space restrictions and unable to accommodate all of our needs. The increase in numbers and lack of available local resources will no doubt remain our greatest challenge in coming years. 64 BOSII~SS S~RFIC~S SECTION I - BUSES We continue to process our routes using the Apple III Computer in the Main Office as an aide in manipulating data. A purchased program called Quick File is used. While this has been an improve~aent over the totally manual file card sys£em~ it is far from the state of the art in computerized bus routing. The 1988 Town Meeting appropriated funds for the purchase of amoderncOmputerlzed bus routing system. We had 156 field trips during the 1987-88 school year. The previous peak was 128 trips during the 1985-86 school year. Table of Riders School 1987=88 1986-87 198§-86 1984-85 .lp83-84 Nigh (9-12) 404 507 518 525 459 Middle (6-8) 474 477 409 475 457 Elem.

At the high school, the parking lot overflowed for the first time. Obviously, there were more drivers than ever before. By our count, we had over 550 eligible to ride but barely 400 actually riding. SECTION II - BUILDINGS A~D FACILITIES 1. One thousand yards of new carpeting were installed in the Nigh School to replace badly worn areas. 2. The entire old wing of the Middle School was painted. 3. i new pressbox was built at the football field under the aegis of a Press Box Committee. A first-class press box resulted at a minimal cost. The committee stayed in existence as a StadimaCom,ittee to attempt a rebuilding of the bleachers. The 1988 Town Meeting voted $30,000 for bleachers, and the Stadium C~ittee had bids out by the end of the school year. 4. The Atkinson School playground was resurfaced by the Public Works Dept. 5. The office area at the Franklin School was enclosed and a small roam was built for Special Needs and Guidance in one of the larger Franklin classrooms. 6. A program of light replacement was started at the Kittredge School. Five classrooms had fluorescent lights installed to replace incandescent bulbs. Each classroom had 3150 watts replaced by about 850 watts. This is an energy reduction of almost 75~ in each classroom. 7. The gym floor at the Middle School vas completely refinished. This included sanding down to the bare wood and 4 coats of urethane finish. As part of this work, we had three point circles painted in all gyms. 8. Break-away baskets were installed at the Nigh School on the ~1 basketball 9. Considerable repair was done by our maintenance man at the Middle School. The boys' locker room needed extensive work. 65 SECTION ~II - ENERGY Degree Day comparisons are made to a 30 year average to get a relative handle on how severe a winter has been.

(Petition of the School Committee) VOTED to adopt the article as amended (yes 361, no 62): That the Town vote to appropriate 142 the sum of $764,104 for the purpose of performing all work necessary from the complete architectural designs through the bidding process for two new elementary schools. This work will include but is not limited to all survey work, test borings, engineering work, designs, development and preparation of specifications, bidding, review of bids, and any other tasks associated therewith such as report printing, advertising of bids and so forth. To meet this appropriation, the Treasurer, under the direction of the Board of Selectmen is authorized to borrow the sum of $764,104 under M.G.L. C. 44, s. 7 (21); that the School Building Committee be authorized to take any other action necessary to carry out this project; and that the sum of $25,000 be transferred from Article 31, 1986 ATM for the purpose of funding 1/2 of the first year's interest of debt service. EXPLANATION: The School Committee, as Phase One of its Master Building Plan, is requesting funds for the design through the bidding process for two new elementary schools. The two proposed schools will be a 250 student, 10 classroom school at the Thomson School site and a 550 student, 24 classroom school on Dale Street on conservation land the Town currently owns known as "Town Farm." Although it is clear that construction of these schools cannot take place without a Proposition 2 1/2 override to exclude the debt service, the design plans are being proposed at this time to enable the School Committee to present more exact descriptions and models of the buildings. Having complete architectural plans will also enable the School Committee to obtain a commitment from the State's School Building Assistance Bureau for possible reimbursement funds. Thus, voters will know exactly what is going to be built and how much it will cost before voting the ballot question for an override. Using current School Building Assistance Bureau square footage costs plus the contingency percentage recommended by DiNisco Kretsch and Associates (the consulting architects), rough estimates of construction costs would be $6,285,000 for the Thomson School and $10,700,000 for the Town Farm School. The total cost of the architectural plans over the 5 year bond period is $913,104. The need for the two new schools is based, in part, on an expanding elementary enrollment coupled with successful efforts over the past 4 years to reduce all class sizes to 25 students or less. In addition, the School Committee is requesting additional separate dedicated space for art, music and computer technology programs, space for specialists for special needs instruction and physical therapy and a library in each building. Article 25 . ACQUISITION OF LAND FOR SCHOOL SITE. To see if the Town will vote to raise and appropriate, borrow, or transfer from available funds a sum of money to be expended under the direction of the School Building Committee, for the purpose of acquiring by gift, by purchase, by grant, by eminent domain, or otherwise a parcel of land within the Town of North Andover (as recommended by the School Building Committee and/or the Conservation Commission). A suitable parcel may include existing municipally owned property excluding land which is commonly referred to and identified as Town Farm, which is bounded on the east by South Bradford Street and on the west by Dale Street. The purpose of this acquisition is for constructing a new elementary school 143 facility, which site may also be used for other municipal purposes. (Petition of the Conservation Commission) VOTED to take no action. Meeting adjourned at 11:35 p.m. Meeting reconvened May 3, 1988, and opened at 7:19 p.m. by the Moderator. Article 26.

Continuing Care Retirement Center (CCRC) 1. Establishment There is established a Continuing Care Retirement Center (CCRC) as a permitted use under the Special Permit provisions of this Bylaw. Such permitted use may only be authorized by a two-thirds vote of the Town Meeting in existing Residence 2 and Village Residential Districts. A CCRC parcel may include an adjoining parcel of land which is in the Residential-1 District, providing that no development shall be permitted in the Residential-1 portion. The authorization will empower the Planning Board to review and approve a definitive plan under the Special Permit provisions in Section 10.3 and as is otherwise provided for in this section. A CCRC shall include a nursing home care facility and congregate housing units and may also include independent dwelling units and assisted living units. A CCRC may also only include any or all of the foregoing housing types provided it is affiliated with a nursing home. 144 2. Purpose The purpose of the CCRC is to provide for the development and use of specialized housing and nursing care for the elderly on the basis of the Town Meeting's authorization to the Planning Board to issue a special permit in the permitted District(s) with greater flexibility from the pattern otherwise permitted in such districts. It is intended to create health care, including home health care, housing and other supportive services designed to meet the needs of the elderly population and to enable that population to live independently. It is further intended to encourage the preservation of open spaces; to allow for new nursing care facilities and housing that causes relatively little demand on Town services; and to preserve the Town's residential character. In creating an alternative to existing nursing and housing possibilities for the elderly, the CCRC is intended to allow for a greater mixture of buildings, structures and uses with regard to density than is otherwise permitted, thereby allowing for the nursing care of the elderly and the relief of the physical, economic and emotional stress associated with the maintenance and care of traditional nursing home and residential properties. 3.
