Annual Report Town of North Andover Massachusetts FY 1987 General Government Selectmen / Town Manager Fiscal Year 1987 was largely a year devoted to change and the environment. Implementation of the new Charter adopted during FY 86 began in earnest. After an exhaustive nationwide search, the Board of Selectmen chose Paul D. Sharon as North Andover's first Town Manager. Paul, who had honed his town management skills in the Chicago suburbs started work on November 17th faced with some immediate problems and anxious to get started. Because spending levels had been authorized at the 1986 Town Meeting that exceeded available funds, the first order of business for the Town Manager was to bring the revenue and appropriations into line in order to get the tax rate certified. A Special Town Meeting was called for December 3rd in the hope that this could all be resolved in time for tax bills to be mailed out and paid before the end of the year. This proved to be an excellent introduction for the ~anager to the Town government since his first two weeks were spent with Treasurer/Collector Jim Dewhirst, Assessor Ted Phelan and the Advisory Board working as a team in lengthy and intensive meetings with the various department heads reviewing budget projections and spending requirements and poring over the books, calculating and recalculating and hunting for ways to achieve fiscal balance. This was successful and a revised fiscal plan was presented and approved at the Special Town Meeting. The boil water order imposed on the Town by DEQE in May of 1986 was finally lifted in January after the Town was able to show, through the most extensive testing program in the State, that our water was indeed safe to drink. During this entire period, no evidence of giardia, the culprit originally found in the raw water supply from Lake Cochichewick, was ever found in the water distribution system. Even though the water was safe to drink, everyone acknowledged that it needed additional improvement to its taste, odor and clarity. To this end, the Town intensified its efforts to replace old mains and construct a filtration plant. The Board of Selectmen initiated action in May to aquire the 100+ acre Mazurenko Farm abutting Lake Cochichewick and critical to the protection of the watershed. Significant organizational changes were made by the establishment of three major divisions, Finance, Public Works and Planning and Community Development. Treasurer/Collecto~ Jim Dewhirst was appointed by Paul Sharon as the new Director of Finance, overseeing the staff and operations of what had been the Assessor's Department, the Tax Collection office and the Treasurer's office. Jim and Paul subsequently hired C. Fred Mansfield, Treasurer of the South Essex Sewerage District as Asst. Director of Finance, to eventually take over as Director and to spearhead the efforts to computerize the business operations at Town Hall. The Division of Public Works consolidated the former Highway, Sewer and Water (former "Public Works Department") and Forestry and Grounds operations. Additional responsibilities were given to former Highway Surveyor Buddy Cyr as Superintendent of Highways and Utilities Operations, to former Tree Warden Leo Lafond as Forestry and Grounds Supervisor and to Staff Engineer Bill Hmurciak as Director of Engineering and Administration. The Director of Public Works in Salem (MA), Paul S. Niman was appointed by the Manager as Director of the new Division. The final major division, that of Planning and Community Development was established to centralize all of the personnel and responsibilities of the former Building Department, Board of Health, Planning Department, Conservation Commission and the clerical staff serving the Zoning Board of Appeals. Former Town Planner Karen Nelson was appointed as Director of the new Division. The changes and new faces did not stop there, however. In December, the Board of Selectmen appointed Lt. Richard Stanley as the new Chief of Police replacing retiring Chief Edward Sullivan, and in late March appointed Ken Anthony as the new Town Accountant replacing retired Joe Willis. Ken had previously been School Accountant for the Town of Andover. During the budget process, and culminating prior to the Town Meeting, a five year agreement regarding the allocation of fiscal resources was hammered out between the School Committee and the Board of Selectmen. This agreement, of almost historic significance, recognizes the limitations on shared financial resources and provides guidelines in the development of future operating budgets. Special acknowledgements are hereby extended to the Manager and Selectmen's office staff, secretary Karen Robertson, Personnel Assistant Anne Marie Barnes and especially Administrative Assistant Cathy Hicks for their continued excellent efforts in working with the public and the Board.

Dewhirst, Town Treasurer FY87 was a year of transition. Advisory Board of progress for your Advisory Board. It was also a year The Advisory Board entered the fiscal year knowing that the Annual Town Meeting of the preceding spring had produced an unbalanced budget. Projected revenues for FY87 did not match spending authorizations. The new Town Charter charged and focused resuonsibility for solving this problem, however, with one individual, the Town Manager. For the first time, residents could look to one official to manage the problem. Unfortunately, a permanent Town Manager was not hired until fall. Your Advisory Board played a key role in determining spending cuts to be presented at a Special Town Meeting in December. Budget reductions were ratified, the tax rate was certified, and the business of municipal government carried on. The Advisory Board, in concert with the Town Manager and his staff, developed a process that delivered the FY88 budget to Town Meeting in May. For the first time, revenue projections, including new growth estimates, were prepared in tandem with spending budgets. In addition, revenue projections for new growth were fairly calculated and incorporated into the budget. process. New growth represents assessments added to the tax rolls for the first time, and is outside the Proposition 2 1/2 levy limit. This new found confidence in the budget process, and the impact of the new charter, fostered a willingness on the part of the Board of Selectmen, the School Committee, the Advisory Board, and the Town Manager and his staff to present a balanced, and unified budget to Town Meeting. A multi-year agreement was negotiated among the aforementioned to establish a framework for allocating revenues among competing demands for the financial resources of the Town. The best possible budget was delivered to voters at Town Meeting. For the first time, 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. Voters were able to see for themselves that spending will outpace revenue growth over time unless tough spending justifications and controls are implemented. In addition, cost estimates were given for the impact a new school will have on the Town's financial position. The Advisory Board looks forward to FY88 with great anticipation. The composition of the Board will change and new members will bring vitality and fresh perspectives to the financial burdens facing the Town. In addition, FY88 will continue the transition of the Advisory Board into a strategic financial review and oversight board as defined by the new charter. Respectfully submitted, Michael Leafy, Chairman Eric W. Bakerman, Vice Chairman Patricia Cavanaugh Daniel Griffin Richard Katis Francia Lindon Paul Sullivan Division of Planning & Community Development Appeals, Board of The Board of Appeals had a very busy year with twelve regular meetings and three special meetings. A total of seventy-six petitions were filed for variances, special permits, party aggrieved, earth removal permits, and decision and plan reviews. After being presented to the Board of Appeals at public hearings, fifty were granted, twenty-one were denied, and five were withdrawn without prejudice. Most petitions presented to the Board of Appeals were for setback relief, frontage and area variances. Other petitions were for family suites, conversions to multi-family dwellings, cutting within the Watershed District, division of land, day care centers and lifecare facilities. Because of a tremendous interest on the part of North Andover citizens, a special meeting was held on the Samuel S. Rogers, Edgewood Life Care, Inc. petition. The Board granted the special permit requested by the petitioner, with several important conditions included in the decision. The Board of Appeals meets on a regular basis on the second Tuesday of every month in the Selectmen's Meeting Room at 7:30 p.m., unless otherwise advertised. We wish to thank former Building Inspector Charles Foster and wish him a happy retirement. The Board looks forward to working with the new Building Inspector. The Board of Appeals wishes to welcome Louis Rissin, DMD, as our new associate member. Respectfully submitted, Frank Serio, Jr., Chairman Alfred E. Frizelle Augustine Nickerson William J.

Most of our time was spent administering the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and Town of North Andover Wetlands Protection Act and ByLaws. Other major achievements included: the filing with the Department of Environmental Management, Division of Conservation Services, for state funds for the acquisition of the Mazurenko property for watershed protection. In fiscal year 1987 the Commission held 39 meetings, received 60 Notices of Intents, 34 Requests to Determine, and issued 44 Orders of Conditions. Numerous enforcement orders were issued, compliances granted, extensions granted along with meetings, site visits, subcommittee meetings and Department of Environmental Quality Engineering and Department of Environmental Management meetings.

Boudrot, Secretary Karen H.P. Nelson, Director Division of Planning & Community Development '(~No~th Andover Citizen file photo.") 12 Health Office During the past year the Board of Health witnessed percolation tests for 158 lots. While this number is lower than in previous years, the increasingly poor soil conditions encountered on the remaining building lots in Town require a much more intensive level of participation from the Board of Health during planning and construction. The board slightly more establishments Board. issued 69 food service permits and 24 retail food permits, than last year. Periodic inspections of these are conducted by a part-time sanitarian employed by the During the October 1986 flu clinics, 872 people received flu vaccinations. This clinic is made possible with cooperation from the Board of Health, school nurses and the senior center. As part of continuing efforts to protect the water quality of Lake Cochichewick, the Board hired an intern to assist in a survey of the entire watershed last summer. This year, cooperation between the Board of Health and the Planning Board enabled us to share the services of another summer intern and the Environmental Coordinator, a newly created permanent posit~on, to continue monitoring potential sources of pollution in the watershed and develop a comprehensive plan for future watershed development. Total expenditures of the Board of Health for the 1986 to 1987 period were $59,668.00 of which $498.00 was returned to the Town treasury from fees collected for permits and services. Respectfully submitted, John S. Rizza, DMD Gayton Osgood Edward J. Scanlon Planning Office The North Andover Planning Board continued its active pace by spending many long hours in the Town Office Meeting Room reviewing residential and industrial Preliminary and Definitive Subdivision Plans, applications for commercial Site Plan Review and common driveway Special Permits, Jn addition to numerous zoning amendments. In order to meet the workload, the Board conducted 30 meetings which are always open to the public, as well as the associated site visits pertaining to subdivision proposals and regular site inspections. Of the 30 meetings conducted by the Planning Board, 84 individual formal public hearings were held in accordance with the Massachusetts General Laws for the purposes of reviewing proposed projects compared to ?2 in FY 86 and 61 in FY 85. This represents an increase in applications by 27 percent within a two (2) year time frame. Six (6) Definitive Subdivision plans were reviewed and discussed at great lengths over a period of several meetings. Of those Definitive plans, one (1) was disapproved and five (5) oonditionally approved, thus creating 92 13 additional lots on proposed roadways. 62 'Approval Not Required' Form A Plans were submitted creating an additional 125 new lots on existing public ways, totalling 217 new lots eligible for building. The Alcott Village Project, a 39 unit residential condominium complex was approved at the 1986 Annual Town Meeting which is located at the former Trembly Bus garage on Route 125 Bypass. Twelve (12) Preliminary Subdivision Plans were submitted to the Board for consideration with nine (9) proposals receiving disapprovals, one withdrawal, and the remaining conditionally approved. The 1987 Annual Town Meeting considered thirty-two (32) zoning related warrant articles compared to twenty (20) proposals that were considered in 1986. The Planning Board supported the seven Balanced Growth Committee's zoning proposals which included: Planned Residential (cluster) Development, Village Residential and Village Commercial Districts, as well as supporting the designation of the Historic District. The Planning Board and its staff successfully gained Town Meeting approval of all ten (10) zoning bylaw amendments. Most of the zoning amendments clarified definitions for interpretation purposes such as two family, family suite, accessory uses, upgraded parking requirements, and expanded the site plan review standards. With the new charter implementation and establishment of the Division of Planning and Community Development, the Planning office continues to be staffed by a full-time Town Planner, Secretary and new Environmental Coordinator, a shared position with the Board of Health. Town Planner Karen Nelson's appointment to Division Director resulted in a search for her replacement, Scott Stocking who brings with him a Master's Degree in Urban Planning and Achitecture from the University of Kansas. Environmental coordinator, Stephen Madaus, received his Engineering Degree from Worcester Polytechnic Institute. Janet Eaton took over as Secretary to the Board and staff when Nancy Stevenson left after working with the Town for over four years. We would like to extend our sincere appreciation to Mrs. Stevenson for all her time and effert in working closely with the Planning Board and staff. In welcoming our newest Planning Board member, George Perna, we would like to thank outgoing member Michael Roberts for his many dedicated years of service to the Town, The Planning Board and staff looks forward to becoming an integral component of the Division and will continue to work closely with the other departments on planning related issues. Our meetings the month and are invited to attend. are scheduled for the first and third Monday evenings of open to the public. All interested citizens are Respectfully submitted, PLANNING BOARD STAFF: Scott A. Stocking, Town Planner Stephen F. Madaus, Environmental Coordinator PLANNING BOARD MEMBERS: Paul A.

Nelson, Division Director 14 Division of Public Works Report From the Division Director This is the first annual report for the newly consolidated Division of Public Works. The Charter changes approved at the 1986 Annual Town Meeting established a Division of Public Works which consolidated the activities performed by the Board of Public Works, Tree Warden, and Highway Surveyor. These activities include the administrative functions of engineering, water, sewer, parks, public grounds, trees, forestry, streets, and solid waste. The Division of Public Works is administered by a Division Director who reports directly to the Town Manager. Mr. Paul S. Niman serves as the Division Director. Mr. Niman is responsible for the overall supervision of the Division including planning, directing, and organizing all public works activities. Mr. William A. (Buddy) Cyr, the former Highway Surveyor, serves as Superintendent of Highways, Utilities, and Operations. Mr. Cyr is responsible for the daily operation and supervision of work crews for streets and solid waste. Mr. Leo E. Lafond, the former Tree Warden, serves as Supervisor of Forestry, Trees, and Grounds. Mr. Lafond is responsible for the daily operation and supervision of work crews for parks, public grounds, trees, and forestry. Mr. J.

The Board of Public Works continues to serve in an advisory role. The consolidation of the functions of the Division of Public Works will allow for more effective use of manpower and equipment. We will continue to look for ways in which we can improve the level of service while at the same time reduce costs. We will reorganize our activities to better serve the citizens of the Town.

On May 1, 1986, as a result of the confirmed presence of giardia lamhlia cysts in Lake Cochichewick, the State Department of Environmental Quality Engineering issued a boil order for the Town of North Andover. Despite the successful purging of the water distribution system and the continued negative results obtained from all giardia sampling, the boil order remained in effect due to the eruption of coliform bacteria caused by the breakdown of the biofilm within the distribution system. The boil order was lifted on January 27, 1987. In response, a number of measures and projects were undertaken to combat the giardia and bacteria problems. A complete flushing and disinfection of the entire distribution system was completed in May 1986. The Sutton Hill Reservoirs were cleaned and disinfected in June of 1986. The Bradford Street standpipe was cleaned, repainted, and disinfected in the fall of 1986. As part of the Town's ongoing distribution system rehabilitation program, 5,740 feet of twelve-inch water main on Waverley Road and Turnpike Street was cement lined by the Biszko Contracting Company. Also, the old water main on Waverley Road from Main Street to Massachusetts Avenue was replaced with 3,600 feet of new twelve-inch ductile iron cement-lined pipe by Somerset Contractors. As a result of investigation of possible water main interconnections with the surrounding towns, two connections were designed with the Town of Andover. The first connection through the Merrimack college campus was completed in September ef 19~6 and has already been used during emergency shutdowns at our pumping stations to provide the safest possible drinking water. The second interconnection and pumping station on Peters Street is currently under construction with completion expected in the fall. In order to provide cysticidal chlorine dosages, the level of chlorination was increased at our pumping stations to a level aboYe 2°5 mg/1 for a minimum 10 minute contact time. Supplemental chlorinators were constructed at six locations in October and November to maintain an optium chlorine residual throughout the entire distribution system. Because it is the stongest available disinfecting agent, ozone was chosen as the best interim treatment to control our system along with chlorine until the proposed water treatment is constructed. An ozone generation system and contact chambers was designed and constructed at both our pumping stations and was in operation in October, 1986. In order to better monitor our system to insure safe and potable drinking water, an extensive and detailed Water Quality Management Plan was initiated. The plan includes extensive daily sampling throughout the system, specific identification of bacteria species beyond the general coliform analysis, the daily analysis of numerous water quality characteristics, continuous computerized analysis of all collected data, and a giardia testing program. 16 The Town is also working closely with a task force made up of various state and federal health and environmental officials as well as consultants from Yale New Haven Hospital, the Southern Connecticut Water District, and the University of New Hampshire to insure that we are delivering a safe potable drinking water.

Maintenance was performed on municipal sewers. Ail mains were inspected, cleaned and flushed in the spring. Calls were received regarding sewer back-ups, 47 private house sewers were cleaned, most of them blocked with roots. One sewer connection was replaced. Design was started for sewerage to serve the south side of Lake Cochichewick from the existing sewer on Pleasant Street and extending on Great Pond Road to Coachman's Lane. Construction is anticipated for 1988. Sewer Receipts for 1986 - 1987: Collected Sewer Rates: July 1, 1986 - June 30, 1987 Collected Sewer Const. & Misc.: July 1, 1986 - June 30, 1987 $354,870.23 4,945.00 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. 20 Playqround Maintenance The playground system consists of Grogan's Field, 4.7 acres; Drummond Field, 5.0 acreas; American Legion Beach, 1.4 acreas; 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 replaced at the Carl Thomas, Drummond, Aplin and Grogan playgrounds. A bridge over the brook at the Reynolds Playground was repaired. Eleven truck loads of sand were spread over the bathing beach to improve the swimming area. The 36th annual swimming meet was sponsored by the Veterans of Foreign Wars, Post #2104 on August 9, 1987, and as usual was a great success. The beach was open from June 18, 1987, until September 7, 1987. 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 field at the Middle School were reconstructed. These 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 Maintenance 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 Ground; and 20 small plots at street intersections - a total of 15 acres. Extensive trimming of shrubbery was completed at the Police Station, Memorial Park, Old Center Common, Town Hall and the courtyard at the Middle School. Pine bark mulch was also spread in the above areas and at the Kittredge School. 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. New playground equipment was installed at the Thomson School. The broad jump pit at the Middle School was widened, and the varsity baseball field behind the Middle School was given a major reconstruction. Outdoor basketball courts were also installed at the Middle School this year. 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. 21 Street Maintenance Installed approximately 1000 1.f. of new steel beam guard rail on Great Pond Road along the shore of the lake and the North Pumping Station. Guard rails were also installed on Chestnut Street (150 1.f.) and Boston Street (200 1.f.). The following streets were sealed with oil; Boston Street, Willow Ridge Road to Andover Line, Sullivan Street, Forest Street (part). Gray Street, Lacy Street, Ingalls Street, Brook Street, Farnum Street (part). Summer Street, Foster Street (part), Winter Street (part), South Bradford Street (part), Barker Street, Martin Avenue (part), Bacon Avenue, Stevens Street (part), Pleasant Street (part), Bay State Road (Osgood Street side). Road reconstruction and improvements were carried out along Great Pond Road. The banking was cut back along the curve along the Golf Course to make sight distance better. This will also make snow plowing operations easier. The driveway to the High School was rebuilt including all sidewalks entering from Osgood Street. New sidewalks were installed on Clarendon Street, village Green Drive, and the High School. New drainage was installed on Water Street (800 1.f.), Elm Street (500 1.f.), and Clarendon Street. Added pipe to the culvert on Essex Street. Put French drain and 150 1.f. of pipe on Great Pond Road at Golf Course. Repaired six catch basins and cleaned out all drainage courses at the High School. The following streets were all or partly hottopped: Johnson Street, Rea Street, Ferncroft Circle, Wildwood Circle, Sutton Street, Great Pond Road, Clarendon Street, Mass. Avenue, Brentwood Circle, Pleasant Street, Marbleridge Road, Union Street, Second Street, Forest Street, Foster Street, Chestnut Street, Mill Road, Summer Street, Salem Street, Campbell Road, Holt Road, Ash Street, Berry Street. Approximately 1,500 catch basins were cleaned by machine and 500 by hand between the months of April, May & June. Snow fencing was put at various locations throughout Town. Approximately 80 sand barrels were filled throughout the winter months at certain locations in Town for residents to use. The flood along the Merrimack and Shawsheen Rivers caused a problem to the D.P.W. both in cost and time to our men and our equipment. Most of the D.P.W. worked around the clock for the forty-eight hours of actual flooding and evacuation. Another week was spent on clean up and restoration of flooded areas. A substantial amount of money was attributed to this situation, and no State or Federal assistance was given to the Town. The cost associated with this flooding put a strain on our overtime budget as well as our general budget. 22 Solid Waste Collection & Disposal Rubbish collection was carried out throughout the year by Town crews. 9,379.82 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 item pick-up throughout the year. White goods, glass, and newspapers are recycled. Bulk leave collection was carried out during the last two weeks of October and into November. The Sharpener's Pond recycling area was opened on Wednesdays and Saturdays from May through December.

This degree of flooding has not been experienced in our Town since 1936. Fortunately no personal injuries were incurred. As the rivers started to rise on the morning of April 6, 1987, all emergency services had been alerted and were in place along both rivers in time to sandbag some of the private homes and affected businesses in an attempt to avert their being deluged. The Senior Center was activated to house affected families who might be displaced from their homes, and on April 7, 1987, 38 people from the Greater Lawrence area were housed and fed there by the Red Cross. On April 6, after a review of the situation, the Honorable Board of Selectmen declared a State of Emergency and notified all Town department heads, and the undersigned in order for Civil Defense to initiate the necessary actions. Throughout this period of emergency, all Town departments including the Police and Fire displayed their professionalism by working long hours, often around the clock to render assistance to the affected families and business in the North Andover Mall who were in imminent danger of being inundated by the water as well as other families and businesses which were being evacuated when overtaken by floods. The Red Cross set up operations at the Senior Center and provided outstanding service throughout the emergency. The School Department offered housing and feeding services which fortunately were not required. All of our local shelters preferred their assistance, several food concessions volunteered food. Our community showed its compassion for the displaced families and businesses and many of our local citizens called to offer their services. The Fire Department manned pumps for as long as possible until in many cases the rising river water overtook their efforts at which time evacuations were carried ~ut. Our local radio station WCCM gave excellent media support by airing all public broadcasts as long as required, with spot reporting in between. On April 8 the rivers finally crested and the tasks of returning people to their homes after once insuring they were safe and habitable was begun. The Town showed a very cohesive working relationship during the above-mentioned period with excellent cooperation by Police, Fire, Highway and Tree Departments. The Town Manager and Board of Selectmen maintained close communication with civil Defense. Finally, damage assessments were compiled for Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Fire Chief Dolan worked tirelessly throughout this emergency fulfilling his duties as Fire Chief and able assisting in the many duties of Deputy Civil Defense Director throughout and after the flooding period. North Andover remains eligible for Federal Matching funds for 50% of salaries and certain administrative office expenses under the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) program. There is no surplus property program currently under FEMA. Our Emergency Operations Center (EEC) is approximately 90% set up for occupancy. The dehumidifier has resolved the humidity and dampness problems that existed. All antenna coaxial cables have been rerun from the roof to our radio room. We enjoy excellent communications on a 24-hour basis thanks to our 220 Mhz repeater, our phone patch capability and our hand held transceivers. Again, our thanks to Mr. Benjamin Farnum for allowing our repeater and antenna to be located on his premises on Boston Hill. 25 Last September we accepted the resignation of Mr. R. Dennis Dionne, who formed our present Auxiliary Police cadre and who dedicated a lot of time and effort into forming them into a well organized, trained group dedicated to serving the community. Mr. Dionne indicated that he would be unable to serve due to the stresses placed on his position with the New England Telephone Company based on new responsibilities due to a recent promotion. Mr. Richard C. Boettcher was promoted to command this unit, and a very orderly transition took place due to Mr. Boettcher's experience with the Auxiliary Police. The Auxiliary Police conduct vandalism patrols of all the public schools, playgrounds, or any Town facilities that fall under the cognizance of the Police Department. They continue to serve the Police Department in providing crowd control for all parades and any Town functions supported by the regular department. We thank Police Chief Stanley for his continued support of this group. The following are members of our Auxiliary Police group commanded by Sgt. Richard C. Boettcher: Executive officer Ernest Harvey, Patrolmen Carl Wagoner, Michael Twomey, Jr., Hilton P. Cormey, Joseph Sullivan, Jr., and Ms. Eileem Burns. The following are 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. CB'ers are Joseph Whitehead and Ernest Harvey. Mr. Sullivan continues to conduct local training classes to train individuals to obtain their Novice Radio Amateur Licenses. We continue to search for a few selective volunteers with the willingness to dedicate some time to the Civil Defense either in Communications (must possess a valid FCC Radio Amateur License), Auxiliary Police (must pass a security investigation conducted by the local Police Department), or civil Defense Staff personnel. Any interested person will be given full consideration regardless of sex, race or creed. Information may be obtained by contacting any member of our group. I wish to take this opportunity to thank the following boards or individuals for the outstanding cooperation to our efforts during this reporting period, especially during the spring flooding: the Honorable Board of Selectmen, Town Manager Paul Sharon, the Advisory Board, all Town department heads and staffs, Police Chief Richard M. Stanley, with special thanks to Fire Chief William V. Dol~n for his exemplary services during emergencies, as well as to the Fire Department. Also, to Communications officer Joseph Sullivan, Jr., for his efforts in the upgrade of our EOC, as well as the RACES Group ; Richard C. Boettcher and the Auxiliary Police for fulfillment of their mission to the community with their usual professionalism; and lastly as usual to Mr. John J. Lyons, Deputy Director of Civil Defense, for his aggressive support throughout the year. Respectfully submitted, John J.

In October 1986 the former administrative board Department was dissolved with the new charter, and the Fire the administrative head of the Fire Department. for the Fire Chief became The time, efforts, and energies expended by all those who served as members of the Board of Fire Engineers and their dedication is not forgotten. The last board member and call deputy, John McGuire, has personified community spirit in the performance of his duties with the board. I thank him for his help and assistance. During the year, two thirty-year veterans of the department retired; Lt. John Sullivan and FF Gordon Rokes. As a result of Town Meeting, the department upgraded its vehicles by purchasing a new chief's car, a four wheel drive pick up for brush and forest fires, and had added a bucket truck for maintenance of the miles of fire alarm line. New aluminum doors have been installed to replace the wooden apparatus doors at Station 2. Four people have been hired and are working as dispatchers at the Main Street fire station 27 As the Town increases in size we are seeing an increase in calls. Here, as is true nationwide, the single-family dwelling accounts for the greatest frequency of structural fires. In the spring of 1987, the department in cooperation with other Town departments were busy in alleviating the flooding problems throughout the Town. Fire Department personnel have performed their instances with true devotion and sincere appreciation of of the townspeople. duties in all the human need In October of 1986 the Fire Department, in conjunction with the Board of Health and League of Women Voters and the corresponding organizers from Andover, conducted the first in what is hoped to be an annual "Household Hazardous Waste Collection Day" held at Merrimack College. The event was well attended and provided both communities with an answer to a serious problem. A future trend in fire safety came to being with the first installation of a residential fire sprinkler system° Since this installation on Equestrian Estates, several other homes have had systems installed, including the largest at the Osgood Mills Condominiums. The department will continue to urge the installation of these systems as a means to "building in" fire protection. The support given the department by its personnel, other Town departments, and the citizens of the Town is appreciated and essential in our providing public fire protection and safety for the Town.

During the years preceding my appointment, I envisioned a modern, technologically advanced Police Department that would be considered a true leader in the law enforcement field. With the advent of my administration, I have set a series of both long- and short-term goals which will benefit not only the Police Department but also the entire community The heart of any Police Department is its command structure and administrative staff. Without the support of the administration and the aid of street supervision, the organization as a whole will suffer. A revamping of the organizational structure has taken place but will be amended as required. Specifically, specialty assignments have been created: Sergeants are now patrol supervisors/line officers patrol by sectors and a formal chain of command has been established. The importance of this to the Town is that technically-trained personnel are readily available to handle any problem that a member of the community may be faced with in an expeditious, efficient manner. Several completely new departments have been established within the past year. Namely, a drug and alcohol unit, a juvenile un~t, traffic survey department, and an expanded in-service training program. The drug and juvenile units are not only for enforcement, but both have a strong commitment to education and assisting the youths of this community with the numerous problems which plague their daily lives. To tie together all the necessary functions of the Police Department, a computer system has been installed which will become more and more invaluable everyday. Our most ambitious goal will be that of the National Law Enforcement Accreditation. It is the highest certification that can be awarded to a police department. The successful completion of this program to comply with its schedule of professional standards will be obvious to all community residents. The North Andover Police Department is staffed with young, dedicated officers who I am confident will achieve the highest professional standards in the law enforcement field. I feel strongly in providing the members of this department with the best in staff, equipment, and training programs so they will be able to fulfill their full potential in an effort to provide the best possible police service to you, the residents of North Andover.

Gorman, Director BOARD MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL ON AGING Barbara Theberge, Chairperson Raymond Maynard, Vice Chairperson Maria Rosati, Secretary Arthur Lambert, Treasurer Thomas Cantone Elsie Heinze Ann Hoessler Jack LaFrance John Lyons Helene McCall Domenic Torrisi Director of Act/wries Historic Commission The discussion and support of the new Local Historical District, which includes houses on Academy Road, Osgood Street, Great Pond Road, Johnson Street, and Andover Street, was the main objective of the North Andover Historical Commission for the year 1987. The Commission members support the objectiue of the L.H.D., which is to preserve and maintain the historic character of the houses in the district. Also this year, the maintenance and beautification of the Blacksmith Shop Site, located on Andover Street, has been transferred to the Town of North Andover due to the death of M. Frederick Kimball, our past benefactor. Many thanks belong to Mr. Josh Houghton for the upkeep of the site. The Commission is also continuing to complete the Historical Inventory Forms with the help of Ms. Carrie Poirier, a Merrimack College Professor. Respectfully submitted, Mary Hart, President Maria Ward Louisa M. King Anna H. Howes Martha Larson Susan Bournival Kathleen Szyska, Secretary Housing Authority As Executive Director, I am pleased to submit, on behalf of the North Andover Housing Authority Board of Commissioners and its chairwoman, Anna P. O'Connor, the Authority's 38th Annual Report for fiscal year ending September 30, 1987. This report has been prepared in accordance with Chapter 12lB of the General Laws of Massachusetts, which governs housing authorities. During the year, the Authority has assisted and provided low-rent subsidized units for approximately 400 citizens of our Town. These low-rent units are distributed in 6 developments, which consist of 239 units of elderly and 24 units of veterans' housing. As well as our publicly-owned apartments, the Authority also administers, through the use of federal and state funds, 2 rental subsidy programs. These programs subsidize tenants in existing housing that is funded pursuant to Section 8 of the United States Housing Act of 1937 and Chapter 707 of the Statutes of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. This past year, the Housing Authority has begun construction on 36 additional units of housing. This housing award consists of a combination of 6 units of family housing, 10 units of congregate elderly housing, and 20 units of conventional elderly housing for a total grant award of approximately 1.7 million dollars. Congregate housing differs greatly from the conventional elderly housing that the Housing Authority has been accustomed to administering in the past. The Authority is one of the first in the Merrimack Valley to undertake this concept of housing. The Authority intends to utilize this concept to provide housing for those frail elderly who are unable to totally live independently, and customarily would have no alternative but to seek nursing home care, although they would not be in need of full nursing care. 36 The congregate housing concept will be designed to allow private bedrooms and bathrooms, but shared common facilities such as living room, dining room and kitchen. The Housing Authority will be contracting with Elder Services of the Merrimack Valley to provide supportive services on a regular and routine basis. The services that the Authority anticipates providing are meal preparation, shopping, light housekeeping, and nursing care on a basis determined by need. This concept has worked extremely well in the past in other parts of the country, and we are quite confident that the program will be very successful here in North Andover. Additionally, the Authority has started the construction of six family housing units for young families starting out. This development will consist of a small six unit complex, basically consisting of an average of three bedroom units. Eligibility for this program will be similar to that of the current Veteran's Housing project and will be in accordance with state guidelines. This development is located on Ashland Street and will incorporate the use of an existing four family house with the addition of a freestanding two unit currently under construction. Lastly, the 20 units of conventional elderly housing will be constructed in a manner similar to our other state funded units. They will contain a combination living room/kitchen, a bedroom and private bath, for a total of approximately 500 sq. ft. of living space per unit. Eligibility for this state funded project will be the same as for those of other state funded projects. Site selection for our elderly complex has been completed with the acquisition of a 30,000 sq. ft. parcel of land located on Second Street. Construction is under way with a completion date scheduled for the summer of 1988. This fiscal year 1987 is a year of changes. After 23 years of devoted service to the Housing Authority, as a member of the Board of Commissioners, James McCabe has retired. As of August 1, 1987, Jim bade farewell. Both the board and staff at the Authority will miss him. Good luck and good health, Jim. We would like to welcome Nicholas Debitetto back to the Board after a long absence. Nick was selected to fill the remainder of Jim McCabe's term by a joint seating of the Board of Commissioners and the Board of Selectman. Welcome, Nick. Lastly, by way of a personal note, this annual report is my last official act as Executive Director after 13 years of service at the North Andover Housing Authority. Effective October 1, 1987, my duties will terminate to enable me to spend full time in my consulting firm. During my tenure, I have truly been grateful for the opportunity to serve the community, tenants, and an outstanding group of dedicated board members. I feel that the Authority's achievements over these years has greatly enhanced the quality of life for many of our deserving citizens. It is with both deep regret and a sense of pride that I must leave this most fulfilling and responsible position. Respectfully submitted, Louis P.

Our skating program ran for eighteen Sundays with two hours of skating every evening at Brooks School rink. This is a very popular program with young and old alike taking part. The program runs from November to the end of February. Our Saturday morning basketball program for girls and boys in grades two through four was held once again at the North Andover Community Center. It was very well attended, and we had about eighty-five youngsters in the program. During the April school vacation, we had three programs at the Community Center for the children on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings. we had a magic show, a musical show and a juggler. All three were very well attended. We had an activities program published this year which announced all our field trips and our special events. Field trips included a trip to play miniature golf, bowling, the Aquarium, Water Country, roller skating and beach day at Hampton Beach. The special events included these events which were held on the North Andover Common: old Time Music & Vaudevill Revival with Mr. Slim; Cyrus Kosi, juggler, musician and comedy; Red Wagon from the University of New Hampshire; fun filled hour of puppetry, story theatre; Grady Productions, Musical Stage Show; potpourri Wagon from the University of New Hampshire; Caravana from the University of New Hampshire; a musical program from Northeast Brazil; ice cream day and Joe Carota, magician. Our special needs program was operated once again from the Community Center and the children took part in all the events and special trips. Our evening programs were well attended. They included a womens softball league, mens softball league, girls softball league, and a pony league baseball program. James McAloon and Paul Therberge once again did a great deal of work with these programs. Our musical concerts were expanded to eleven; eight on Sunday evenings and three on Wednesday evenings. We were very pleased with the large turnout every evening at the concerts. We owe alot to the Council on Arts, the musicians union, and the merchants who helped sponsor all the concerts. We would like to thank the North Andover Fire Department, Leo Lafond, Bud Cyr, the Lawrence Eagle-Tribune, North Andover citizen for all their help this year.

Since it's initial operation in April, 1977, the facility has treated over 100 billion gallons of wastewater that was previously discharged, untreated, into the Merrimack River. During 1986, the average flow through the plant was 36.48 million gallons/day. The large increase was due primarily to the high flows from the flood of April and an infiltration problem that began during the winter and has yet to be located. Since each community pays for their proportionate share of the District's operating costs, it is necessary to measure the amount of wastewater from each. In 1986, Lawrence's average daily flow amounted to 44.47%, Methuen's was 25.24%, Andover's was 14.30%, and North Andover's was 10.89%, and Salem's was 5%. The percentages are used to establish the annual assessment for each community, e.g. Andover and North Andover will pay 14.30% and 10.89% respectively for the total operation and maintenance costs of the District for fiscal year 1988. Operation and Maintenance In 1986, 11,892.82 tons of solids were removed from the wastewater, dewatered and incinerated to a sterile ash. The power requirements for pumping and treating the wastes amounted to 15.4 million KWH or $816,942.50. The plant effluent was treated with 184.77 tons of chlorine to kill any bacteria before discharging to the Merrimack River. The septage handling facility continued to have an impact on water quality in the northeast part of the state by providing an approved disposal site for handling residential septic tank wastes. The District service area includes septage from 75 communities. The additional waste load is assimilated into the existing reserve capacity included in the plant. The excess capacity also allows the District to receive wastewater sludge from the Towns of Maynard, Manchester, Billerica, Amesbury, Rockport, and the City of Gloucester. This service is extended until these communities complete modifications of their wastewater treatment facilities. The monies received from the septic tank pumpers and the communities of Maynard, Manchester, Billerica, Amesbury, Rockport and Gloucester are used to reduce the operating budget and assessment to District member communities. This is illustrated under the section on Financial Management. Note: Fiscal year '88 reflects an increase in assessment to the communities. This is due mainly to the fact that the facility maintenance costs are rising. Special Projects 1) Spicket River Interceptor On August 25, 1986, the Town of Salem, New Hampshire, shut down their treatment plant and diverted their flow to the GLSD. This marked a milestone in the District's history and served to illustrate the work that can be accomplished with many agencies cooperation. While the flow is entering the GLSD, it is only using a portion of the newly constructed intercepter. The 39 remaining pipeline to be constructed in Lawrence is being tunneled through 800 feet of ledge, 30 feet below street level. The entire pipeline is scheduled for completion in November of 1987. 2) Fourth Aeration Basin and Clarifier Plans for an August 1987 ground breaking for the construction of two more treatment tanks is on schedule. These tanks were an original part of the facility, but the DEQE asked the District to defer construction due to the demand for grant money during the early '70's. Once construction is started, it is hoped that the additional tanks will be operational by the summer of 1988. 3) Scum Concentrator Grease and scum handling is a problem at every WWTF. The District has explored many alternatives. The agreed upon technology utilizes a flotation device which will thicken this material. The concentrator is equipped with a feed device which will allow us to slowly blend in scum with the dewatered sludge, thus preventing uncontrollable incinerator conditions; conditions which have caused damage to our sludge incinerators in the past. 4) Hydrogen Peroxide Feed System For the past four years, the District's operation division has been experimenting with odor control technologies in the belt filter press room where hydrogen sulfide gases eminate. The reasons were two fold; one, employee health and, two, equipment protection. After many trials and experiments, it was discovered that hydrogen peroxide best met our needs. After a year of collaboration between the GLSD, chemical vendors, and equipment suppliers, the feed system was installed and is currently operating. 5) Ash Pit Recognizing the fact that we only have a couple of years of space remaining in our existing ash pit, we directed our consultants, CDM, to design a state-of-the-art ash disposal facility. After conducting a facilities plan, it was determined that the most cost effective, sensible solution was an on-site ash pit utilizing a portion of the District's property currently not in use. This ash p~t will be double lined, employ ground water suppression and leachate collection equipment, and be sized to meet our needs for the next 20 years. We are currently in the design phase and hope to begin construction in early 1988. 6) Third Incinerator and Existing Scrubber Modifications The Greater Lawrence Sanitary District had t~he luxury of redundant unit processes for ease of maintenance and continuity of operation when it first beg&n operation in 1977. Since that time, growth has eliminated much of that redundancy. Such is the case in our sludge incineration area. We are planning on the construction of a third incinerator to build in redundancy, and we are going to retrofit our existing air emissions scrubbers with the latest equipment in order to meet the latest air quality standards. The facilities plan is in the DEQE office for review. Once approved, the study can be conducted. This study will recommend the alternative to design. The engineers will then design and construct a unit. Our early estimates show total time for their project to be approximately five years. We are endeavoring to expedite this process. 4O Financial Management The District continues to be successful in managing its finances to keep the local assessments down in spite of increases in the cost of doing business. This is a result of maximizing the yield from investments, energy conservation, taking in sludge and septage from outside the District, and efficient operation. The numbers speak for themselves. Even though the assessment rose .1 million, the revenue from outside sources reduced the assessment to the member communities by .7 million dollars. Fiscal Year 1981 Fiscal Year 1982 Fiscal Year 1983 Fiscal Year 1984 Fiscal Year 1985 Fiscal Year 1986 Fiscal Year 1987 Fiscal Year 1988 Although it becomes increasingly District will continue to pursue this its employees to accomplish it. We have - $3.42 million - $3.32 million - $3.29 million - $3.24 million - $3.23 million - $3.16 million - $3.10 million - $3.20 million difficult to keep costs down, the goal and rely on the resourcefulness of been very successful to date.

(2) Does not include exhibits, programs, story hours, reference services and other in-house use. 41 The library circulates over six items per person, which is above the state average. This year we introduced the borrowing of adult video cassettes (do-it-yourself), public domain software, and compact discs. The library computer network has been expanded to include twenty-one valley public libraries. As some of you have already discovered, we have frozen our paper card catalog and have introduced a public computer terminal for locating our materials as well as those in other libraries. Our reference librarians can also electronically look into the collections at the University of Lowell and two other public library networks. The result is that the residents of North Andover have access to not only the 70,000 item collection housed at the Stevens Memorial Library, but also have available to them the collections of over seventy other public and college libraries. The library also introduced an apple computer which may be used by the public. The meeting room, which is available free of charge to any non-profit group, was used an average of twenty times per month. Our passes to the Museum of Science, the Museum of Fine Arts, and the Childrens Museum were all popular. My thanks to the North Andover Arts Council and the North Andover Business and Professional Board of Trade for their generous support cf these passes. Our programming in the Childrens' Room, which was increased to include an afternoon story hour as well as a monthly special Saturday program this last year, has proved very successful and will be continued this next year. Adult programs included workshops on fashion, cooking, rare books, several investment seminars, rug and quilting workshops, and programs on antiques, interior decoration, and personal development. Thanks to our generous local artists, we were able to change our displays every month. Through the help of the North Andover Arts Council, we were again able to award prizes for our top local artists, as well as purchase three original watercolors for loan. I would like to express my thanks to the many volunteers, contributing exkibitors, and staff for making fiscal 1987 a most successful year. Russell J. Reeve, Director During the year the Board continued to guide the investment and expenditure of endowed funds and to oversee the upkeep of the library. We have continusd to work on the passage of the state legislation which would complete the funding package needed to construct the addition to the library. The project has, in spite of the funding delays, still moved foreward. Thanks to the Stevens Foundation, we have been able to progress into the architectural planning phase of the project. We expect to have the design phase completed before December, 1987. The most important decision the Board made this past year was to retain the services of the architectural firm, Amsler Hagenah MacLean, Architects, Inc. Their previous experience with libraries and historic renovation should result in a design which the citizens of North Andover can be proud to pass along to the next generation. The Board of 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 Robert Bernardin, Asst. Treasurer William B. Duffy E.

The School Co~nittee and Administration is pursuing goals, both in curriculum and in facilities, to prepare these students, the system, and the Town for the 21st century. The most critical need ~s for space for the growing elementary population and the programs man- dated by law. There were almost one hundred more students this Fall and another one hundred and twenty-five projected for the Fall of 1988. After exhaustive research, the School Committee with the School Building Committee proposed the best alternative for the Town of North Andover is a new elementary school to be built as a first step in preparing for our future. We thank Town Meeting for ~ts overwhelming support for a new school. Unfortunately, a Proposition 2-1/2 override to pay for the new school was defeated in June. A feasibility study of the existing conditions and plans for upgrading and/or exoansion of our older schools was passed and is underway. The School Building Co~ittee is proceeding with its study and will have a proposal for Town Meeting 1988. An architectural study for enclosing space at the high school was also approved and will be ready for Town Meeting. Major capital improvement projects included a new boiler at the Kittredge School, repainting the entire old wing of the Middle School, and the repairing and repaying of the North Andover High School tennis courts. The School Con~ittee thanks the voters for their support of the school budget and recognition of the needs of a school system that has for too long been underfunded. A per pupil expenditure that is $600 below the State average touches all aspects of the curriculum, including, but not limited to, athletics, libraries, facilities, supplies, and staffing. Our new Superintendent, Dr. Georqe Blaisdell, reviewed the needs of the system and issued an Action Plan to address these n~s. The School Co~t~ittee fully supports the Action Plan and the budget implications it entails. The Town, its youth, and the school system were very pleased to be the recipients of a three million dollar trust fund for Drug Free Schools. A Town-wide advisory board will administer the fund. ~r. Daniel L. Desmond, Principal, N.A.H.S., has announced his retirement at the end of the school year. The School Committee recognizes his twenty-two years of service and devotion to the schools, the community, its youth, and his staff. With deep appreciation and recognition that it will be very difficult to replace him, we say goodbye. Mr. Robert Mascola has resigned from the School Committee after eight years of service. He was a most able ~ember of the School Committee, whose leadership through the trials of Proposition 2-1/2 cuts and into the progressive years of Dr. Bernal and Dr. Blaisdell will be sorely missed. Finally, we wish to thank the entire staff of our school system for their commitment to excellence. Working together, teachers and staff, parents, volunteers and citizens, we can make an excellent system even better. Diane H. Batal, Chairman Mark S. DiSalvo John J. Gaffny III Brian R. Donahue 43 ANNUAL REPORT OF TtIE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS It is a pleasure to report to the citizens of North Andover about the accomplishments of the school system during this past year. Information about our schools and programs was submitted by building principals and directors. Enrollment Student enrollment is increasing dramatically at the elementary level. We began the 1987-88 school year with an ~ncrease of 115 students in grades K-6 when compared with the 1986-87 school year. This increase was only partially offset by a decrease of 35 students in grades 6-8 and a decrease of 38 students in grades 9-12 when compared with the previous year. Enrollment projections indicate continuing dramatic increases in the elementary grades, coupled with a levelling off at the middle and high school levels. Goals and Objectives The following goals for the school system were established in mid-February, shortly after my arrival in North Andover. Goals Status in December eDevelop a system-wide, clear statement of educational philosophy. This statement should include a definition of the needs of students and the expectations of the cont~unity. There should be a connection between the philosophy and the design and implementation of the system's curriculum. The philosophy should be reviewed periodically to assure its validity. eContinue to develop annual goals and objectives as a major component in plans for improvement and strengthening of the school system. Such goals and objectives should be specific and widely communicated. · Require each school to develop an action plan to achieve system goals, to strengthen student achievement, and to monitor, assess, and report regularly plan progress to the con~nunity. eEstablish a system-wide curriculum review and evaluation process. This process must include a structure for making informed curriculum decisions and must provide for the systematic evaluation of all school offerings. It must further provide for consideration of skills and concepts which may not currently be a pazt of the curriculum. While the professional teach- ing staff must have the major role in this process, community participation should actively be encouraged and sought. As part of the curriculum review and eval- uation process, we need to assure that pupil performance is commensurate with students' abilities. 44 The system's philosophy has been completed and adopted by the School Committee. See next section. Completed for 1987. Completed for all schools, except the High School. The High School will use the report of the Visiting Co~,ittee from The New England Association of Schools and Colleges as the basis for its action plan. Completed and operating. · Provide financial support for curriculum development efforts. Such support should include time for teachers to do this as well as material resources sufficient for high quality work. eStrengthen the system's staff development efforts. ~here should be a relationship between such efforts and system, building, and teacher goals. %Fhe continued professional growth of the staff must be encouraged. ®Review, with approoriate participants, the entire staff evaluation system. Such a review should consider goals of professional growth, collaboration for such growth, and high expecta- tions. eProvide increased financial support for academic materials, supplies, and equipment to re- flect the wide range of students' abilities and interests. eReduce class sizes in the primary grades. Class sizes in these grades should be no more than 20-22 students per class, less in some instances. eStrengthen Library/Media resources at all levels. This means space, staff, and material eEstablish a planned community outreach p~ogram. Build on the many efforts of parents currently involved with the schools. Inform the community about the school system's strengths and weaknesses. Involve the community in a part- nership with the school system. It is our re- sponsibility to reach out, not the community's responsibility to reach in. eDevelop a Lon~-Ranqe Facilities Master Plan. Capitalize on the extensive work done over the past two years on facility planning. %n a process which is clearly defined and com- municated to the community, establish the criteria for future planning for facilities. Address issues of equity of opportunity in facilities. Tell the community what must be done, how long it will take, and how much it will cost. eCoordinate and review student services at all levels. Student services and staffing levels must be reviewed to assure provision of necessary services. An internal review of the special education program should be conducted. eReview school zones and bus routes. Ele- mentary age children from one family should be able to attend the same elementary school with siblings. Bus routes should encompass bus Irides of reasonable time for students. 45 Begun in the 1987-88 school year. Planned continuance. An improved process was begun with the 1987-88 school year. Well underway with the Teachers' Association. Not begun with other employee groups. Begun with the 1987-88 school year. Planned continuance. No progress in this area. Elemen- tary class sizes actually increased slightly. Library curriculum developed. A second elementary librarian added for the 1987-88 school year. Completed and operating High School Open Space Study com- pleted. Feasibility Study almost com- pleted for all schools. Master Plan scheduled for completion on February 29, 1988. Detailed internal review completed. Change budgeted for the 1988-89 school year. Completed. Improvements in trans- portation are unlikely with existing resource levels. Improvements budgeted for the 1988-89 school year. eDevelop a Facility Maintenance Plan. Efforts have clearly been made in this regard and such ef- forts have not received sufficient funding. This plan represents the best way to communicate our needs. mDevelop a School System Policy Manual. There are current policies on a wide range of topics. They require systematic coding and cataloging in a readily retrievable and useable format. Completed. Study indicates signifi- cant underfunding of facility maintenance. Several policies added in 1987. Sys- tematic coding system in place. School System Philosophy The North Andover Public School System believes that excellence in education is an attainable goal for the particular group of students it serves. To reach that goal, we support high expecta- tions and standards for our students so that each student may reach full potential. Excellence is a responsibility shared by all participants in the process: students, parents, staff, adminis- trators, School Committee, and the community, each having unique and complementary roles and each having opportunities to influence the curriculum. Education is at the foundation of and critically important to a changing society. The effect of accelerated changes in science and technology on society demands that our curriculum, services, and staff be continually assessed to assure that we properly prepare students for the future. Accordingly, the school system must provide a sequentially coordinated curriculum which allows for individual differences within our school program. The system's curriculum must extend beyond the basic skills of co]~nunication and computation to application in creative problem solving, conceptualizing, refinement of critical thought, mastery of writing techniques and processes and the establishment of an abiding thirst for knowledge. Encouraging our staff and students to try to achieve excellence by stretching their abilities requires tolerance and acceptance of mistakes made in honest efforts. We intend to profit and learn from such experiences. Implemented by strategies focused on student needs and founded on sound educational research and practicer the curriculum must support, challenge, and provide stu- dents with opportunities for the consideration of occupational choices, stress the importance of physical and emotional health, develop an appreciation of the arts, and encourage the development of life-long learning skills and attitudes. There must be a school environment in which students develop and demonstrate positive human values~ consider and respect individual worth, and gain self respect. The school atmosphere must foster student understanding of responsibility, tolerance, commitment, and privilege in a democratic society. Students should complete our progrems knowing that they are responsible for their actions and having respect for themselves and others. Finally, our schools must be safe, clean, well-maintained buildings, staffed by a highly competent, caring, and professional faculty. With the belief that the public schools belong to the community, we coma]it to ensuring positive communication among the staff, the schools, and the co~ununity. Programs and Activities Bradstreet Early Childhood Center The second year of operation for the Bradstreet Early Childhood Center was a time for expanding the new programs. There were four prekindergarten classes, nine kindergarten classes, one clinical nursery, two extended kindergarten classes daily~ and two prefirst classes. Curriculum The developmental curriculum was further implemented. Each class had a listening center and math was taught using manipulatives. The kindergarten and the prefirst teachers have changed the progress reports to correlate with the new program being taught. 46 The staff used the curriculum days to further develop their knowledge of developmental curricu- lum. Three of the curriculum days were math workshops, one had a guest speaker discuss the use of puppets in developing language skills and one had a behavior consultant, Joan Norton, speak on classroom management. Registration and Screenin~ The screening process was changed to help develop a better rapport with the parents as well as receive more accurate information about the child. The screening was held at the Trinitarian Congregational Church on Elm Street in North Andover, Parent volunteers from the P.T.0. and the P.T.A.C. served as receptionist and guides, The reception area for the parents had educational material available for them to read as they waited for their child. A volunteer was available to answer any questiona and make them feel comfortable. The screening consisted of four parts: Gesell Readiness Test, Speech and Language, Eyes and Ears testing and an assessment for special needs. The children were given the opportunity to play with puzzles, cla~ and interact with other children. This made the child more comfortable with his new environment. Two hundred and fifty-two children were screened, using this procedure. Two extra screening days will be scheduled for August 1987 to accor~nodate new registrations. Upon completion of the screening process, letters were sent to the parents from the Director of Special Needs and the Director of Early Childhood containing the school district's recommenda- tion for the proper developmental placement for the child. Parents were given the opportunity for an individual conference to discuss the recommendation. Seventy-three conferences were held during the month of May pertaining to children's placement. Two information meetings were held to explain the prekindergarten and prefirst curriculum. The agenda consisted of a movie on developmental curriculum, teachers explaining what the goals of the class are, parent speakers whose children attended these programs giving their opinions and observations, and a question-and-answer period. Parents were invited to observe the present prefirst classes. Other outreach programs to help inform the parents on child development included: visits to nursery schools and speaking to the parents of pre-school children, guest lecturer Jim Grant was sponsored, a parent workshop with Joan Norton on child behavior was conducted. An invitation was sent to local nursery schools to tour the center with their students who will be attending the school next year. Six nursery schools took advantage of this opportunity. Volunteers Seventy-eight volunteers assisted in some capacity at the center this past year. In addition to parents volunteering, there were four "foster grandparents." These were senior citizens who helped in the classrooms in a variety of ways. This program was well received and will be expanded in the 1987-88 school year. An Appreciation Coffee was held in June in honor of all those who volunteered. Atkinson School This year several changes occurred at the Atkinson School. 1, Two new resource rooms were placed there and the teachers did a superlative job in orient- ing children to their new building and providing integration within the regular program where called for and initiating modifications for individual students as deemed appropriate by the staff. 2. A second grade was added. 3. Atkinson School became the home for Town Precincts 3 and 4 which required certain adjust- ments on election days. 4. Based on parent survey, a Mid-year Open House was instituted. Over three hundred parents and relatives attended this very successful event. 5. New Report Cards were used, involving NCR paper. Despite some initial minor problems, 47 they were successful both in communicating information to parents (same information but change in format), and they also relieved teachers of tedious, time-consuming clerical work. The time was used more productively for immediate pupil benefit. Franklin School The 1986-87 school year has been one of cautious modification, innovative programming, and creative additions to the existing curriculum. It has also been a time of extensive self-evaluation and examination of the teacher's role in extending the learning activities provided by the school. One of the high points of the year had students learning about medieval times. For a time, the Franklin School became enthralled with knights and chivalry, castles and cathedrals, jousting and tournaments. The culmination of this schoolwide unit was a medieval day when teachers and pupils wore costumes and final activities were shared. Dragons and villains shared the limelight with knights and heroes, while all participated in games, activities, and stories depicting life in the Middle Ages. Kitbredqe School The reading program testing assisted the teachers by showing which students need reteaching and reinforcement in certain skill areas. Mr. Nelson generated the print-outs from the cards that were submitted. The teaching staff were grateful for this program. The fourth and fifth grades utilized the new science books and kits from Merrill Publishers. The first three grades will be getting their new science material by September. Chapter 188 funds supplemented the curriculum, by bringing in cultural activities. The Enrich- ment Council was responsible for coordinating and block-booking the events. This Council did an excellent job. The Kittredge School had a very active Parent Teacher Organization. Mrs. Joanne Cahfll ex- tended herself and had her group raise money for field trips, fifth grade graduation program, and various other activities for the students' benefit. The parents gave complete support to the many activities which the P.T.O. originated and ~upervised. Parent volunteers came into the classrooms and assisted the teachers in reading projects and other areas. The Project Charlie utilized many volunteers for a very successful pro~ram. Thomson School The following goals were implemented during the past year: 1. Develop a program to improve crftical thinking skills and listening skills in students. 2. Implementation of the new reading program in grades 1-5. 3. A systematic and continuous evaluation of student progress in achieving the objectives of the school. 4. Implementation of the new science program in grades 4 and 5. 5. Establish curriculum that recognizes the needs of the community, as well as the students. In addition to the above curriculum developments, we also had a great deal of school-parent involvement at Thomson School. We continued to work with the S.I.C. and the Thomson School P.T.A.C. Between the two groups, we were able to have the following programs for the children which many of the parents took the opportunity to attend: 1. Introduction to Opera. 2. Entire school field trip to Boston to view the "Nutcracker Suite." 3. Visit of pilgrims from the Plimouth Plantation. 4. Opera: "Lovers, Rogues and Fools" 5. "Harriet Tubman~s Freedom Train" 6. New England Theater Build presented "A Swan Is Born." 7. Tom McCabe "Storyteller" 8. Science Museum "Animal Show" and Science Museum "Introduction to Physical Science." 48 North Andover Middle School Program improvements and modifications continued to take place at the Middle School this year. A general review of the science and mathematics curriculum was started by staff committees while work in the area of reading continued. The Houghton-Mifflin and Ginn reading programs were implemented in Grade 6 this year following a K-6 adoption of these programs. Utilizing a wealth of teacher resources and student materials, staff members launched this program with great success. In grades seven and eight, ~hese same programs were piloted by staff members who were part of the school's reading curriculum review team. In addition, several other approaches to the teaching of reading were thoroughly investigated by this review team. As a result of their two-year study, the staff recommended an approach to the teaching of reading utilizing a wide variety of materials including novels, as opposed to a basal program. Vocabulary studies, the newspaper, non-fiction, and periodicals will be included in the program along with a heavy emphasis on study skills related to the content areas. The North Andover Middle School was the recipient of a two-year National Exellence in Educa- tion Grant focusing on the development of student writing utilizing technology. Seven English teachers, with representation from each grade level, have been involved in this project which is enabling these teachers to develop a writing curriculum using the process writing approach in con- junction with word processing on the Apple computers in our lab. This project will include summer workshops and will continue through next year. The anticipated result will be an improved, coor- dinated writing curriculum for all students at each grade level. A pilot interdisciplinary unit was developed and implemented by one seventh grade team this past year. Utilizing the "Voyage of the MiMi" instructional program which includes video tapes, computer programs, and literature, this team expanded the unit to include all academic disciplines, as well as music, art and home economics. This program was extremely successful and as a result of its evaluation, the program will be extended to all seventh grade teams next year. The students in the seventh grade participated this year in the first round of testing under the new Statewide Assessment Program. Results of the testing showed the North Andover students to be doing better than those students of similar background statewide. Student Leadership This year, a number of students participated in the Creater Lawrence Middle Level Leadership Program. Student leaders from ten schools in Greater Lawrence housing grades 6-9 met regularly throughout the year for workshops to develop leadership skills, to develop schoolwide projects, and to plan events for all middle school students in Greater Lawrence. As a result of this program, a group of students, under the leadership of Mr. Richard Lombard, planned, constructed, and operated a school store. The store was built in a corner of the cafeteria with assistance from local construction companies and citizens. The store was a lively center of attention and has helped greatly in developing student spirit. The North Andover Middle School also participated in the Greater Lawrence Academic Bowl which was an outgrowth of the Leadership Program. Paired with the Henry K. Oliver School in Lawrence, the team captured first place in the round-robin academic competition. A major event brought about through the Leadership Program was an anti-drug program sponsored by the Bank of Boston. This program brought all seventh and eighth graders from Greater Lawrence together at the Methuen High School Field House for the M. L. Carr program, Stand Tall Against Drugs. Through the initiative of several students, along with Mr. Donald Latham and Mr. Donald Childs, a magnificent planter was built and installed in the school's lobby. This has added greatly to the overall appearance of the school. Enrichment Programs Through the efforts of the Middle School Improvement Council, the North Andover Enrichmeqt Council, and the staff, a number of assembly programs were scheduled at the school. Included in 49 these events were the LaSalle's Adventure Program, Ensemble Afrique, Birds of Prey, EMerson College Stage Production, Opera-to-Go, and Science Museum programs along with several cultural events held at the Collins Center. In addition, each team conducted field trips to enhance the curriculum for all students. Included was the valuable seventh grade program presented by the North Andover Historical Society. Many grade seven students were again involved in a Junior Achievement Program which featured representatives from local business organizations presenting classroom programs on a regular basis. A very informative parent workshop was held featuring Dr. James Garvin of the New England League of Middle Sehools. Building Improvements During the summer of 1986, several projects were undertaken to improve the appearance and functioning of the Middle School. The library was completely refurbished with new paint, carpeting, and vertical blinds. The office area was also carpeted and the main lobby was re-tiled. Drinking fountafns were replaced and the boiler refurbished to improve its performance. Over the course of the year, all of the student wall lockers throughout the building were replaced with colorful, individual locker units. In addition, all lockers in the physical education locker rooms and team rooms were also replaced. While much attention has been given to the physical plant of the school, it continues to need further attention. During the summer of 1987, much of the interior of the building is scheduled for painting. Exterior lighting is also scheduled for upgrading. The auditorium needs general refurbishing and new lighting. Much of the floor tile needs to be replaced in a large part of the building. ExCensive use of the building beyond school hours places great strain on the physical plant. Other Significant Events A tremendous contribution continues to be made to this school by parent volunteers. The Parent Advisory Council conducted its annual fund-raising event and through its efforts purchased five outside basketball standards and several other pieces of equipment, contributed to the school store, assisted in the funding of the school activities program, and helped fund several assembly programs. Further~ a significant contribution is made by parents who daily call the homes of absentee students as part of our Safety Check Program. The School Improvement Couecil met on a monthly basis to review areas where assistance could be given to improve the school. The school store, Leadership Program, enrichment events, the school yearbook, and Class Night were all supported through the funding available for this Council. Class Night for the eighth grade students featured a barbeque, video program, lip-synch con- test, and dancing. The extraordinary efforts of the staff and parents made the entire affair held in thc courtyard with a Hawaiian theme, greatly successful. North ~ndover High School Curriculum The introduction of a field laboratory program into our biology curriculum has enhanced the experience for our students in the freshman accelerated biology classes. Other biology programs have been improved with the inclusion of a unit dealing with nutrition. The course, Home Manngement, has been upgraded with a major emphasis upon consumer economics being added to the syllabus. Research and reference activities and skills continue to receive a significant amount of attention as a result of the combined efforts of our librarian and the teachers within the English and Social Studies departments. The program to orient freshmen to our library has been improved through the updating of the audio-visual materials used to illustrate the major areas of the instruc~ tional materials that are available for students. 5O Foreign Language instruction was complemented by bringing in native speakers through the .P.S. program. A total of seven countries were represented. In addition, special guests from hailand, Costa Rica and Barbados contributed to cultural phases of our curriculum. Ten of our tudents participated in a three-week, twenty-five hour immersion program in Hispanic culture ~ Lawrence. This program is designed to increase vocabulary and oral comprehension, to develop ~eakinq skills and self-confidence with the langusge. Community resource people such as lawyers, representatives from veteran groups, advocates 'om various social groups, native Americans from Plymouth Plantation, and a college student from ~pan were contributors to our Social Studies classes during the year. Through the combined efforts of the athletic department, school administrators and the assachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association, two programs for students and parents dealing ~ith chemical awareness were presented. The impetus for these programs stemmed from Mr. Richard [ozzi's participation in a three-day workshop conducted by the MIA2% specifically for the develop- tent of such programs. Over eight hundred parents, students, and coaches participated in the program that was held n the fall. A similar program was held in the winter for winter and spring seasons' athletes. ~esponse from parents, students, and coaches was excellent. :tudent Services Generally, our services to students are commendable. Our food service, under the direction ~f Mr. Richard Poutenis, is more than adequate if one judges this from the percentage of students ~o avail themselves of the service. Certainly, in the area of Health Services to our students, we receive a good return for the ~unds invested in this area. The services provided daily by one nurse to 1,083 students, plus working staff of over 100 adults, is outstanding. During the year Mrs. Foulds is assisted by ~ther school nurses when special examinations required by law are performed. Student transportation services are more than satisfactory. Busses, for the most part, arrive :n time and deliver students safely. Reports from staff concerning service on field trips and ~thletic events are always complimentary. From my perspective, the A.B.C. Bus Company meets our ~eeds very well and they, along with our bus coordinator, Mr. Fred Rex, are to be conm]ended. In the ares of Guidance Services, it is my observation that educational and personal counseling ~ervices are acceptable. The addition of a clerical person in guidance has been helpful in relieving :ounselors of tasks that prevent them from seeing more students. We do need to conduct surveys )f our graduates on a regular basis to help us determine the effectiveness of our services and ]ducational Media Services I am pleased to report that our library and audio-visual, previously separate entities, have :ompleted the second year as an integrated department under the direction of Janet DiGianni. ~s. DiGianni reports that the day-to-day operation of the Instructional Materials Center improved :onsiderably. She attributed this to the procedures and policies that are in place, and staff, ~long with students, have become familiar with the expectations of the Center's staff. As reported under the Curriculum standard, library use by the staff and students continues increase, particularly in Social Studies and English. Overall, I am very pleased with the rinds of services provided by our staff in the Instructional Materials Center. {taff and Administration During the past year our staff and administration worked effectively to deliver the educational )rogram to our students. An area of ooncern is the impact that staff long-term illness has on ~he educational outcome of our students. It seems, in recent years, we have had more than our ~hare of illness that has required replacement of teachers for several months. We were fortunate in one sense as we were able to get replacements that worked very hard to maintain the high standards f the teachers they replaced. 51 Our Student Council became more involved in school programs. They initiated breakfast meetings for Council members; they spearheaded our Shadow Orientation Program for incoming freshmen; they assisted with both Parent Conferences and Grade 8 Parent Orientation evening programs; they did a considerable amount of the leg work for senior privileges, our Student Recognition Banquet and Parent Council activities, such as Teacher Appreciation Day. They were an effective, unselfish group of students, and I am indebted to them for their many contributions to our school. School Facilities A major study of the "Open Space" has been undertaken. This important work is the first step toward resolution of some long-standing instructional space problems. The grounds surrounding our building have taken on a new look in the past several years with the planting of trees, shrubs, and the addition of the "rock garden" on the southeast end of the academic wing. The caring for our grounds and trees has improved one thousand percent since the reorganization of the departments responsible for the grounds. I commend the Public Works Depart- ment, Mr. Leo Lafond, and Town Manager, Mr. Paul Sharon, for their roles in this improvement. With the resurfacing of our road, Scarlet Knight Lane, our school took on a fresh appearance. Community Support and Involvement Our students were active in community activities through our band, chorus, speech, and parent council membership and activities. The High School Parent Council gave us an opportunity to blend school and community activities. Parents were very involved with staff members and students in our Leadership Conference, the planning of a major student social activity in the fall, and the publishing of a High School Parent Newsletter. Of course, the parents and students collaborated very well with the planning for Teacher Appreciation Day. School Atmosphere It is my opinion that there was a more positive atmosphere in our school during the past year. I believe that student participation in the planning and execution of many programs and activities, such as Grade 8 Shadow Program, parent conferences, and their participation on committee involved with our Self-Study contributed greatly to this improvement. I am pleased to report that personnel who are advisors, coaches, and directors of student clubs, activities, athletics, and other extra-curricular programs have maintained a high standard and student interest remains high. Pupil Performance/Educational Results The measures to assess pupil performance traditionally used by our staff: subject area testing mid-term and final examinations, standardized achievement tests, and other teacher-developed forms of evaluation have been supplemented in recent years with the requirement of basic skills and assessment testing by the regulations of the State Department of Education. On the whole, grade nine students have performed very well on the Basic Skills Tests. There were 258 ninth grade students who were tested. Twenty-eight scored below 70% in Reading, eleven of them were students who were receiving special needs services. , Twenty students scored below 70% in Mathematics, ten of whom were receiving services from special needs. All students who were below the standard were given special attention in reading and mathematics throughout the school year. Concerning the State's Educational Assessment Report, it is my view that our students should have performed better. It is also my belief that our curriculum and the assessment tests may not be that compatible in the sense that what our staff believes should be taught and what the tests measure. Nevertheless, our teachers must address the weaknesses indicated by these tests. It will be more interesting and valid to see the results after the next assessment testing cycle. I do know that there is considerable concern because we believe strongly that all the other indi- cators point toward a strong curriculum and an effective staff and school. College Board testing results are reported to the community each year in December. The Class of 1986's results were above National, New England and State median, including aptitude, achieve- ment and advanced placement tests. Considering the high percentage of our students who take these 52 tests, I believe the scores are quite good. Obviously, these results reflect the impact that the total curriculum and educational experience our students have had throughout their lives. It is significant that our students continue to be accepted by colleges in increasing numbers. i The experiences our students have in college are excellent. There are many instances of students I who receive advanced placement, have course requirements waived, and in general, adjust very well to the competition at the college level. Reports of graduates made directly to teachers and counselors, along with grade reports forwarded to me from some colleges, indicate that our curriculum serves i these students well. It would be appropriate and more significant if we conducted a formal survey through periodic follow-up studies of our graduates. Special Education During the 1986-87 school year, the Special Education Department serviced over four hundred children with special needs, aged three to twenty-two years. In addition, the Department provided screenings for three and four-year olds and children entering kindergarten to assist in the early identification of children who may have special learning needs prior to the start of their schooling. The Special Education Department provides services in all of its schools, which range from monitoring of progress in regular classrooms and consultation to teachers to direct services to children with mild and moderate disabilities. Children with low incidence disabilities or with more substantial learning needs may be serviced in out-of-district programs. AS a participating member of the Greater Lawrence Educational Collaborative, North Andover is able to access a wider range of special education programs within surrounding con,unities. Supportive services, such as occupational therapy, physical therapy, speech and language, and adaptive physical education, are examples of additional services available through the Special Education Department. George L Blaisdefl Superintendent of Schools 53 Library Program Elementary The major improvement to the elementary library program has been th~ staffing of a full-time elementary librarian for the first time since Proposition 2-1/2. Formal teaching of library skills at the 4th and 5th grade level has been expanded from once a month to every two weeks. A formalized curriculum was also developed. Enrichment programs to promote books and reading have been provided. To celebrate National Children's Book Week in November, Ms. Holmes ended opening exercises each morning over the inter- com at Atkinson with a 5-minute remd-~loud selection, complete with a student commercial, for his or her favorite book. At Franklin, she invited a different grade each day to feed their minds a "book lunch" of stories and book talks after their food lunch. TO enliven January and Pebruary, she celebrated Chinese New Year with "book lunches" at Atkinson and Franklin, consisting of oriental folktales, an explanation of the holiday, and some Chinese culture, the creation of an origami rabbit because it is the Year of the Rabbit, and fortune cookies, compliments of the Jasmine Restaurant and the Hey Toy Noodle Company. School Library Media Month was noted in April with Guest Reader appearances in all the elementary school libraries. while improved in staffing, the elementary libraries did not gain in terms of space and faci- lities. The Bradstreet library remained in its cubbyhole, too small to hold an entire class. Thomson, while newly painted, could still only be used as a library two days a week because of its use by others. In summary, the elementary libraries have seen an improvement in professional library staff and services this year, but not in facilities and their accessibility and not enough in mate- rials. The overall trend, however, is towards creating better libraries~ and with the addition of another professional next fall, the elemeotary library program can take a major step forward. Middle School The two major goals of the 1986-87 school year were: 1. To continue to lure students and teachers back to the library. 2. To teach research, reference, and library skills to seventh and eighth graders, as well as sixth. These goals were not mutually exclusive by any means~ and, in fact, bringing students and their teachers in and requesting the teachers' assistance with some of the reference work helped convince both students and teachers that the library is a comfortable and worthwhile place to be. Teaching classes at all grade levels was probably the single most effective method of en- couraging the school population to come in on their own, and this 1986-87 school year was the first time the library was used most every period of the day. Students can come to the library regularly durinq study hall, to do research or read books and magazines, or do homework. Usage is obviously heavier during times of class research proj- ects, but we now have a "regular clientele" who like to spend their study hall time in the library. Sixth grade students again participated in the Massachusetts Book A%~ard Contest. Toward the beginning of the year, Mrs. Spencer introduced all the books which had been nominated; those students who had read four or more by March took part in the voting for this year's winner. 54 She also worked with teachers in ways librarians always do: Providing bibliographies, either that she made up for a specific purpose, or that were published by an outside source and would be helpful to teachers, such as the Boston Globe's "Classics," or Brookline's reading list. She worked with teachers regularly on classroom projects, put books on reserve, taught reference mate- rial appropriate to the unit being studied, etc. High School We have completed our seoond year as an integrated department (library and audio-visual), and the transition seems to be complete. The day-to-day functions of the I.M.C. ran smoother this year since procedures and policies are firmly in place and staff and students have acclimated to them. Even responses to overdue notices have improved dramatically. The theft rate also saw a dramatic drop from 280 last year (improved greatly from previous years due to the security sys- tem) to 114 this year. Attendance/Use: Library attendance remains high. Many more classes are using the library than last yeaL while the number of students on individual passes has decreased, resulting in an improved study atmosphere more conducive to quiet study and research. Library Instruction: The freshman orientation and research/reference program, which was instituted last year with the cooperation of the English and Social Studies departments, continued this year. Both departments are pleased with the results. Student Aides: Despite some turnover, we continue to be delighted with the dedication and performance of our student aides. We have expanded the program this year to include training in audio-visual equipment and some production. Three of our sophomore aides were inducted into the National Honor Society this year--so we are getting a highly motivated group of students. Audio Visual: The addition of two microfiche readers has been a real boon to student research. Also, staff is pleased with the quality of the new equipment that was added this year. We continue to do a good business in off-air video taping for classroom use. We have made great strides in converting from BETA to VHS in terms of our video tape collection. All new tapes are VHS. Much time was devoted to the self-evaluation process for accreditation. It was a good oppor- tunity for input from faculty, corcmunity librarians and students, which we found most helpful. Technology Elementary Computers were integrated into the mathematics curriculum in grades 4 and 5. Each child in the school system in these grades had approximately 25-30 minutes of individual computer time weekly on the Apple IIe computers. (See enclosed Student Computer Attitude Survey results.) Grades 2 and 3 conducted exploratory uses of computer software using mobile computer units in the classrooms. Software was provided as requested in the four elementary schools. Selected classes in grade 5 at the Franklin School piloted the highly acclaimed Voyage of the Mimi science, math, social studies series. Two teachers attended a week-long seminar to prepare for the pilot program. Special Educatiou software was acquired and computers provided for its use within the depart- ment. Seminars in word processing were provided for librarians and library aides, as well as Chapter I teachers and aides, during the school year. Middle School A government grant was attained for Excellence in Writing for grades 6-8. Seven teachers were involved in the grant, which is expected to continue through 1987-88. Seven teachers participated for one week, after the close of school, in a program to create and revise writing modules, as well as plan the integration of software modules into the English 55 curriculum. One grade 5 teacher and one high school teacher attended the seminar on various days. The grant was one of thirty national awards given out around the country. A completely networked computer lab was assembled in the summer of 1986. The lab services grades 6-8 in reading, writing, mathematics, language arts and problem-solving activities. The Special Education department was wired to tie into the corvus hard disk lab. Students from this area also had the opportunity to use the teacher-m~n~ged software as dictated by Indivi- dual Educational Plans (I.E.P.). A writing conference was held at the Middle School with 37 invited guests from ten different school districts participating. The conference was the first of its kind in Massachusetts. The Voyage of the Mimi was piloted in grade 7 with five staff members of one team participating. The months of May and June were devoted to this project, integrating mathematics, science, language arts (writing), home economics, industrial arts, and reading. Mr. Leo Axtin assisted in repair work of computer hardware. Mr. Axtin's position designated that 1/4th of the school day would be devoted to such maintenance work. High School A hard disk with software on college selection was installed in the guidance department software). The corvus lab was widely used by all departments oe a sign-up basis. The Cogito computer system, after being purchased, was used in-house to generate our own report cards and student schedules. Laser technology was explored and courseware purchased for the science department, to be implemented in 1987-88. A CAD-CAM software was purchased to be piloted next year (87-88) in the industrial arts classes (drafting and designing). Courses in Basic I, Basic II, and Pascal were taught at the high school through the mathematics department. The business department conducted classes in word processing and advanced business courses using Apple computers and the A.T.&T. mini-computers. Systemwida An in-service seminar (12-week) course was provided under a State grant to teach administrators, teachers, and aides the software called Appleworks. Twenty-eight participants took the course through Salem State College. The course was taught by a high school faculty member. The original three-year computer technology plan (1984-87) was analyzed, revised, edited, updated and prepared for dissemination. All schools were provided with an up-to date computer software catalog, listing all the soft- ware currently in the school system. This software can be requested by any teacher for use in classes, K-12. Much progress was made in computerizing the athletic department, food services (H.S.), and administrative offices at each school. Physical Education, Mealth, and Athletics Co-educational Physical Education Program Grades K-12 had ten regular full-time instructors: · Three instructors, Mrs. Parent, Mr. Pritchard, and Mr. Forgione, had approximately two-thirds of their teaching load in elementary physical education in grades 1-5, and one-third in teaching health education in grades 4 and 5. 56 · Mr. Dan Desmond, Jr., had one-half of his classes in elementary physical education; the other half of his schedule was adapted P.E. on the three levels. · Mrs. Bavendsm taught physical education (no H.E.) at the Middle School. · Brian McNally taught two-thirds P.E. and one-third H.E.; Rick Lombard taught one-third P.E. and two-thirds H.E. at the middle school. · P.E./Health teachers taught P.E. twice a week in grades 1-5. · Mr. Desmond was assigned to the Bradstreet School, one day each week, to teaoh kindergarten classes that were scheduled every other week. · The high school staff, Mr. Cavanaugh, Mr. McDonald, and Mrs. Hibbard, in addition to teaching P.E., taught Health Ed. for sophomores for two ranking periods; i.e., twice a week for one-half a school year. *Note: Mrs. Hibbard was on a leave of absence from 1/4/86 to 1/5/87. Ail Middle School physical education students (6-8) met twice a week. Ail freshmen took physical education two periods a week all year. Ail juniors and seniors had a half year of physical education; seniors the first half of the year, and juniors, the second half of the year. Sophomores took physical education three times a week for one semester. During the semester that they were taking the required health education course, they took physical education once a week. The high school physical education curriculum guide has been updated/revised for the ten- year evaluation committee scheduled for the Fall of 1987. A cumulative testing program (AAHPER) is in full implementation for grades 3-12; and in grades K-2, students are administered a standard perceptual-motor test. Field days were conducted on the three levels. Over twenty boys and girls, K-12, are participating in the adaptive physical education program. Thirty elementary students participated with area schools in a Physical Education Field Day at the Kane School in Lawrence that was sponsored by the Greater Lawrence Educational Collaborative. Also, seventy-two high school students participated at Andover High School in a round robin volley- ball tournament sponsored by the G.L.E.C. H~alth Education Program Primary classroom teachers are teaching Health Education on a minimum of thirty minutes per week. Physical Education teachers have been teaching health education classes one period a week for a half-year for the 4th and 5th graders, and two periods a week for a half-year, for all 6th, 7th, 8th, and 10th graders. The health education curriculum guide includes the inclusion of health topics within a compre- hensive program extending grades K-8 and grade 10. Project Charlie was in full implementation for all students in the North Andover Public Schools, grades 1, 3, 5, and some areas in grades 6 and 7. Intramural Program Saturday Morning Basketball Program is offered to all boys and girls, grades 5-8, in the Town of North Andover. Over seventy-five (75) boys and thirty-five (35) girls participated in the program that was funded by the Community Center. There were two directors who administered and supervised the eight-week program. 57 Athletic Program - 1986-87 S~rt (Varsity) Boys Won Lost Tied Girls Won Lost Tied Baseball 52 16 7 0 (Advanced to semi-finals, MIAA) Basketball 43 18 Cheerleading 15 (2nd in CAL Competition Cross-Country 25 4 7 0 15 4 7 0 Football 82 6 4 0 Field Hockey 57 2 Golf 13 11 3 2 3 (Div. 2 North Champs) Gymnastics 10 3 6 Ice ~ockey 34 7 9 2 Skiing 45 8 6 0 37 $ 2 0 Soccer 61 14 4 2 60 11 5 3 Softball 46 9 9 0 Swimming 10 1 5 0 10 (First Year - Coed) Tennis 14 3 10 © 12 15 2 0 Track 38 3 6 0 53 2 7 Wrestling 22 14 3 0 (Third in MIAA Sectionals.)

(Fall - 137; Winter - 112; Spring - 92) Fine Arts The Fine Arts Department took part in programs, such as a secondary school choral festival made up Qf Greater Lawrence Communities held at Lawrence High School, a similar elementary choral festival sponsored by the Greater Lawrence Regional Collaborative at the Tenney Middle School in Methuen, and an art exhibit representing elementary, middle and secondary school art work. This exhibit was displayed in each of the cities and towns in the Collaborative. Students at all levels took advantage of cultural programs sponsored by the Collaborative. During the past year student exhibits were set up in buildings throughout the system as well as in the Stevens Memorial Library. Two and three dimensional art work of twenty-five 7th, gth, 9th, 10th, llth, and 12th graders were submitted to the Scholastic Art Awards Exhibit at Montserat College of Art in Beverly. Permanent displays of 8th grade mural and painting projects were added to the walls, doors and cabinets of the Middle School art room. Permanent displays of painting projects were set up on walls throughout the Middle School. Business Services Buses We continue to process our routes on the Apple III Computer in the Main Office, using a pur- chased program called Quick File. While this has been a great improvement over our original 58 system of file cards, it is not even close to present state of the art in computerized bus routing. We attended two seminars on computerized bus routing. A parent who works for Lotus has attended both seminars and has been operating as an unpaid consultant. The seminars were offered by Roger Creighton Associates and Ecotran, Inc. The process of adopting a completely new system will be extensive and complicated. The budget amount should be about $35,000. This pays for an IBM AT (or compatible) computer, prepared programs, and on-site consulting help to get underway. We can assum~ that the first year will be about a full-time effort in adopting and debugging to tailor the system to our specific needs. It is generally believed that the result will show econo- mies and efficiencies far superior to what we do now. Many parents are speaking of seat belts. We obtained a copy of a recent report from the National Highway Traffic Safety Commission. This government board does not recommend seat belts, and in fact, suggests that it is better not to have them in buses built subsequent to the 1977 redesign. We experienced five minor accidents during the 1986-87 school year. There were no injuries. · November 26, 1986. A bus which was reversing to turn around in the Atkinson School grounds backed into an automobile. We have since rerouted buses at the Atkinson, and they no longer have to back up. · December 10, 1986. BUS 5 was involved in an accident with a car at Mill Road and Turnpike. The driver was cited by the police and, as a result, was removed as a bus driver. · January 8, 1987. Bus 1 was involved in a collision with a car on Lacy street. · April 14, 1987. Empty bus (#1©) was in collision with a car at Sutton and Osgood. ~ April 28, 1987. Bus 4 was in collision with a car on Haymeadow. The total of five accidents in one year is unusually high. The most usual number is two. There has been only ~ne accident (two years ago) in which injury occurred° Three children were treated and released from Lawrence General after a head-on crash on a narrow road. The driver of the car was found to be at fault. At that time, we developed a policy on what to do when an accident occurred. For the past two years we have had an unusually high number of field trips. Last year there were 117 trips, and the year before, there were 125 field trips. Prior to this, the average was 65 trips per year. Because of a shifting of school population, we find our bus needs varying. The upper grades are decreasing, and the lower grades increasing. It would seem that another bus might be necessary for elementary use next year. We plan to recommend this in the budget for 1988-89.

Therefore, we report on what happened in the buildings essentially one year ago. · A new oil burner was installed in the Franklin School. This was an air-atomizing burner installed to replace an obsolete rotary cup unit. With the completion of this project, six of seven oil burners have been replaced over the past five years. The Atkinson unit still remains to be done. · There were complaints during the previous year about air quality in the Middle School. We tested and found sulfur dioxide present. It was not present at a danger level, but it was definitely present at a discomfort level. We reported a year ago that a redesigned exhaust system would be installed over the summer of 1986 as a long-range solution to the problem. This was completed and air testing in November and January testified that the installation was successful. There were no detectable impurities present during either test. Several planned projects were postponed because this project cost $20,000 and had not been budgeted. · The Thomson School was painted completely. The entire interior was redone. One stairwell was tiled and treads were applied to the stairs. Plans are to do the second stairwell during the next year. · Thomson, Bradstreet, and Kittredge have battery-powered emergency lights. The batteries are not rechargeable. Each battery costs $28 and wears out after only a few hours of power fail- ure. We have started a program of replacing all these liqhts with rechargeable units. · The library at the Middle School was completely redone. Carpeting, painting, and new blinds were completed. · Both locker rooms were painted at the Middle School. This included floors and ceilinqs. New doors were installed in the boys' locker room. The walls of the Fieldhouse were painted. · A new football scoreboard was installed at the Hayes Stadium at minimal cost to us. Pepsi-Cola paid for the board, and we paid for installation. · All lockers in the Middle School were replaced. This included student lockers, athletic lockers, and gym lockers. · The clock system was overhauled at the high school, and any broken clocks were replaced. Additionally, a new master clock was installed. · Many of the offices were moved during the Summer of 1986. Superintendent's Office moved from the Atkinson School to the High School. Atkinson space was restored to classroom use. Special Needs Offices moved from Bradstreet to High School. Bradstreet space was restored to a classroom. Guidance relocated in the High School to a new suite of offices specially built for that purpose. Heating and ventilating was reworked %o ensure uniform heat in all offices. · Two sides of the Thomson portable were re-sided. We find considerable rot in studding and joists when we do this work. During a meeting with the School Building Committee in December, we reported on this and suggested that a building program should include portable replacement. · The Public Works Department resurfaced the Franklin driveway. · The Custodial staff did a significant amount of painting on an overtime basis. Much paint- ing had been scheduled, and a great deal of work was accomplished. Enerqy Heating requirements are measured in degree days. If temperature for one day is taken every hour and averaged, the requiting number is subtracted from 65. For example, an average over 60 twenty-four hours of 60 would result in 5 degree days. We have records since 1974 and keep careful ~heck. Several times we have received calls from people who have been referred to us by Stevens Library for information on degree days. Comparisons are made to a thirty-year average to get a relative handle on how severe a winter has been. The thirty-year average is 5593. We list six years (July 1 to June 30). Year Degree Days Variation from 30-Year Averaqe 1986-87 5929 +6.0% 1985-86 5579 -0.8% 1984-85 5546 -1.13% 1983-84 5781 +2.85% 1982-83 5121 -8.81% 1981-82 6024 +7.17% Note that 1982-83 was about 9% warmer than average and that 1981-82 was 7% colder than average. We had a 16% swing in one year. Also, last year was 6~ colder than average. ~ think that this is reflected in consumption. It is this uncertainty which makes the budgeting of energy cost difficult. We have an additional variable in a floating cash price. These two variables combine to render the prediction of energy costs an inexact gcience at best. We show a listing of oil consumption since 1976-77.

Food Service 1986-87 marked the third full year of operation with Richard Pouteni$ as Food Service Director. The financial situation seems to have stabilized during the past year. Mr. Poutenim took over an operation which was showing a loss and built it back to a solid profit situation. Balance June 30, 1982 $ 2,751.28 June 30, 1983 (4,903.08) June 30, 1984 7,523.83 June 30, 1985 40,731.72 June 30, 1986 60,060.10 June 30, 1987 60,205~56 This past year showed a leveling of the financial balance. Our price of 75¢ is the lowest in the area and has not changed since 1980. Because of minimal labor costs and food costs, the cash balance should start showing a decline. Mr. Poutenis has shown great creativity in maximizing income.

Personnel We have finished our first year operating with a Maintenance Custodian. We find the position very valuable. The position of an additional custodian was authorized, but was not filled until the Sumner of 1987. The money was used to cover part of the reduction in funding, which occured at the December, 1986, Town Meeting. Respectfully submitted, George I.

Such district or districts may only be created in existing Residence 2 (R-2) zones upon approval at Town Meeting; shall include a nursing care facility and congregate housing units; and may include independent dwelling units and assisted living units. 2. Purpose The purpose of the CCD is to provide for the development and use of specialized housing and nursing care for the elderly in existing R-2 Districts with greater flexibility from the pattern otherwise permitted in such districts. It is intended to create 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 and housing that causes relatively little demand on Town services; to generate increased tax revenue for the Town; and to preserve the Town's residential character. Finally, in creating an alternative for the elderly to existing nursing and housing possibilities, the CCD is intended to allow for a greater mixture of buildings, structures and uses with regard to density than is otherwise permitted in such districts, 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 and residential properties. 3. Definitions a. Nursing Care Facility. A facility for the care of elderly persons requiring regular attention by medical or nursing personnel for reasons of age, ill health or physical incapacity. and which has been licensed as a long-term care facility by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health. 149 b.

All of tt~ese p4~otos first appeared in 'l'~e (~itizer~ during' the last year. General Government Selectmen / Town Manager Fiscal Year 1957 was largely a year devoted to change and the environment. Implementation of the new Charter adopted during FY 86 began in earnest. After an exhaustive nationwide search, the Board of Selectmen chose Paul D. Sharon as North Andover's first Town Manager. Paul, who had honed his town management skills in the Chicago suburbs started work on November 17th faced with some immediate problems and anxious to get started. Because spending levels had been authorized at the 1986 Town Meeting that exceeded available funds, the first order of business for the Town Manager was to bring the revenue and appropriations into line in order to get the tax rate certified. A Special Town Meeting was called for December 3rd in the hope that this could all be resolved in time for tax bills to be Nailed out and paid before the end of the year. This proved to be an excellent introduction for the ~anager to the Town government since his first two weeks were spent with Treasurer/Collector Jim Dewhirst, Assessor Ted Phelan and the Advisory Board working as a team in lengthy and intensive meetings with the various department heads reviewing budget projections and spending requirements and poring over the books, calculating and recalculating and hunting for ways to achieve fiscal balance. This was successful and a revised fiscal plan was presented and approved at the Special Town Meeting. The boil water order imposed on the Town by DEQE in May of 1986 was finally lifted in January after the Town was able to show, through the most extensive testing program in the State, that our water was indeed safe to drink. During this entire period, no evidence of giardia, the culprit originally found in the raw water supply from Lake Cochichewick, was ever found in the water distribution system. Even though the water was safe to drink, everyone acknowledged that it needed additional improvement to its taste, odor and clarity. To this end, the Town intensified its efforts to replace old mains and construct a filtration plant. The Board of Selectmen initiatsd action in May to aquire the 100+ acre Mazurenko Farm abutting Lake Cochichewick and critical to the protection of the watershed. Significant organizational changes were made by the establishment of three major divisions, Finance, Public Works and Planning and Community Development. Treasurer/Collector Jim Dewhirst was appointed by Paul Sharon as the new Director of Finance, overseeing the staff and operations of what had been the Assessor's Department, the Tax Collection office and the Treasurer's office. Jim and Paul subsequently hired C. Fred Mansfield, Treasurer of the South Essex Sewerage District as Asst. Director of Finance, to eventually take over as Director and to spearhead the efforts to computerize the business operations at Town Hall. The Division of Public Works consolidated the former Highway, Sewer and Water (former "Public Works Department") and Forestry and Grounds operations. Additional responsibilities were given to former Highway Surveyor Buddy Cyr as Superintendent of Highways and Utilities Operations, to former Tree Warden Leo Lafond as Forestry and Grounds Supervisor and to Staff Engineer Bill Hmurciak as Director of Engineering and Administration. The Director of Public Works in Salem (MA), Paul S. Niman was appointed by the Manager as Director of the new Division. The final major division, that of Planning and Community Development was established to centralize all of the personnel and responsibilities of the former Building Department, Board of Health, Planning Department, Conservation Commission and the clerical staff serving the Zoning Board of Appeals. Former Town Planner Karen Nelson was appointed as Director of the new Division. The changes and new faces did not stop there, however. In December, the Beard of Selectmen appointed Lt. Richard Stanley as the new Chief of Police replacing retiring Chief Edward Sullivan, and in late March appointed Ken Anthony as the new Town Accountant replacing retired Joe Willis. Ken had previously been School Accountant for the Town of Andover. During the budget process, and culminating prior to the Town Meeting, a five year agreement regarding the allocation of fiscal resources was hammered out between the School Committee and the Board of Selectmen. This agreement, of almost historic significance, recognizes the limitations on shared financial resources and provides guidelines in the development of future operating budgets. Special acknowledgements are hereby extended to the Manager and Selectmen's office staff, secretary Karen Robertson, Personnel Assistant Anne Marie Barnes and especially Administrative Assistant Cathy Hicks for their continued excellent efforts in working with the public and the Board.

Dewhirst, Town Treasurer F¥87 was a year of transition. Advisory Board of progress for your Advisory Board. It was also a year The Advisory Board entered the fiscal year knowing that the Annual Town Meeting of the preceding spring had produced an unbalanced budget. Projected revenues for FY87 did not match spending authorizations. The new Town Charter charged and focused responsibility for solving this problem, however, with one individual, the Town Manager. For the first time, residents could look to one official to manage the problem. Unfortunately, a permanent Town Manager was not hired until fall. Your Advisory Board played a key role in determining spending cuts to be presented at a Special Town Meeting in December. Budget reductions were ratified, the tax rate was certified, and the business of municipal government carried on. The Advisory Board, in concert with the Town Manager and his staff, developed a process that delivered the FY88 budget to Town Meeting in May. For the first time, revenue projections, including new growth estimates, were prepared in tandem with spending budgets. In addition, revenue projections for new growth were fairly calculated and incorporated into the budget process. New growth represents assessments added to the tax rolls for the first time, and is outside the Proposition 2 1/2 levy limit. This new found confidence in the budget process, and the impact of the new charter, fostered a willingness on the part of the Board of Selectmen, the School Committee, the Advisory Board, and the Town Manager and his staff to present a balanced, and unified budget to Town Meeting. A multi-year agreement was negotiated among the aforementioned to establish a framework for allocating revenues among competing demands for the financial resources of the Town. The best possible budget was delivered to voters at Town Meeting. For the first time, 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. Voters were able to see for themselves that spending will outpace revenue growth over time unless tough spending justifications and controls are implemented. In addition, cost estimates were given for the impact a new school will have on the Town's financial position. The Advisory Board looks forward to FY88 with great anticipation. The composition of the Board will change and new members will bring vitality and fresh perspectives to the financial burdens facing the Town. In addition, FY88 will continue the transition of the Advisory Board into a strategic financial review and oversight board as defined by the new charter. Respectfully submitted, Michael Leary, Chairman Eric W. Bakerman, Vice Chairman Patricia Cavanaugh Daniel Griffin Richard Katis Francia Lindon Paul Sullivan Division of Planning & Community Development Appeals, Board of The Board of Appeals had a very busy year w~th twelve regular meetings and three special meetings. A total of seventy-six petitions were filed for variances, special permits, party aggrieved, earth removal permits, and decision and plan reviews. After being presented to the Board of Appeals at public hearings, fifty were granted, twenty-one were denied, and five were withdrawn without prejudice. Most petitions presented to the Board of Appeals were for setback relief, frontage and area variances. Other petitions were for family suites, conversions to multi-family dwellings, cutting within the Watershed District, division of land, day care centers and lifecare facilities. Because of a tremendous interest on the part of North Andover citizens, a special meeting was held on the Samuel S. Rogers, Edgewood Life Care, Inc. petition. The Board granted the special permit requested by the petitioner, with several important conditions included in the decision. The Board of Appeals meets on a regular basis on the second Tuesday of every month in the Selectmen's Meeting Room at 7:30 p.m., unless otherwise advertised. We wish to thank former Building Inspector Charles Foster and wish him a happy retirement. The Board looks forward to working witk the new Building Inspector.

Most of our time was spent administering the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and Town of North Andover Wetlands Protection Act and ByLaws. Other major achievements included: the filing with the Department of Environmental Management, Division of Conservation Services, for state funds for the acquisition of the Mazurenko property for watershed protection. In fiscal year 1987 the Commission held 39 meetings, received 60 Notices of Intents, 34 Requests to Determine, and issued 44 Orders of Conditions. Numerous enforcement orders were issued, compliances granted, extensions granted along with meetings, site visits, subcommittee meetings and Department of Environmental Quality Engineering and Department of Environmental Management meetings. Respectfully submitted, Jack Lindon, Chairman Robert Mansour, Vice Chairman Lois Bruinooge Arthur Resca Guillermo Vicens Carl Schoene Catherine Lowery Nancy J. Sullivan, Cons. Adm. Marie L. Boudrot, Secretary Karen H.P. Nelson, Director Division of Planning & Community Development '('NorLh Andover Citizen file photo") 12 Health Office During the past year the Board of Health witnessed percolation tests for 158 lots. While this number is lower than in previous years, the increasingly poor soil conditions encountered on the remaining building lots in Town require a much more intensive level of participation from the Board of Health during planning and construction. The board slightly more establishments Board. issued 69 food service permits and 24 retail food per~its, than last year. Periodic inspections of these are conducted by a part-time sanitarian employed by the During the October 1986 flu clinics, 872 people received flu vaccinations. This clinic is made possible with cooperation from the Board of Health, school nurses and the senior center. As part of continuing efforts to protect the water quality of Lake Cochichewick, the Board hired an intern to assist in a survey of the entire watershed last summer. This year, cooperation between the Board of Health and the Planning Board enabled us to share the services of another summer intern and the Environmental Coordinator, a newly created permanent position, to continue monitoring potential sources of pollution in the watershed and develop a comprehensive plan for future watershed development. Total expenditures of the Board of Health for the 1986 to 1987 period were $59,668.00 of which $498.00 was returned to the Town treasury from fees collected for permits and services. Respectfully submitted, John S. Rizza, DMD Gayton Osgood Edward J. Scanlon Planning Office The North Andover Planning Board continued its active pace by spending many long hours in the Town Office Meeting Room reviewing residential and industrial Preliminary and Definitive Subdivision Plans, applications for commercial site Plan Review and common driveway Special Permits, in addition to numerous zoning amendments. In order to meet the workload, the Board conducted 30 meetings which are always open to the public, as well as the associated site visits pertaining to subdivision proposals and regular site inspections. Of the 30 meetings conducted by the Planning Board, 84 individual formal public hearings were held in accordance with the Massachusetts General Laws for the purposes of reviewing proposed projects compared to 72 in FY 86 and 61 in FY 85. This represents an increase in applications by 27 percent within a two (2) year time frame, six (6) Definitive Subdivision plans were reviewed and discussed at great lengths over a period of several meetings. Of those Definitive plans, one (1) was disapproved and five (5) conditionally approved, thus creating 92 13 additional lots on proposed roadways. 62 'Approval Not Required' Form A Plans were submitted creating an additional 125 new lots on existing public ways, totalling 217 new lots eligible for building. The Alcott Village Project, a 39 unit residential condominium complex was approved at the 1986 Annual Town Meeting which is located at the former Trombly Bus garage on Route 125 Bypass. Twelve (12) Preliminary Subdivision Plans were submitted to the Board for consideration with nine (9) proposals receiving disapprovals, one withdrawal, and the remaining conditionally approved. The 1987 Annual Town Meeting considered thirty-two (32) zoning related warrant articles compared to twenty (20) proposals that were considered in 1986. The Planning Board supported the seven Balanced Growth Committee's zoning proposals which included: Planned Residential (cluster) Development, Village Residential and Village Commercial Districts, as well as supporting the designation of the Historic District. The Planning Board and its staff successfully gained Town Meeting approval of all ten (10) zoning bylaw amendments. Most of the zoning amendments clarified definitions for interpretation purposes such as two family, family suite, accessory uses, upgraded parking requirements, and expanded the site plan review standards. With the new charter implementation and establishment of the Division of Planning and Community Development, the Planning Office continues to be staffed by a full-time Town Planner, Secretary and new Environmental Coordinator, a shared position with the Board of Health. Town Planner Karen Nelson's appointment to Division Director resulted in a search for her replacement, Scott Stocking who brings with him a Master's Degree in Urban Planning and Aohitecture from the University of Kansas. Environmental coordinator, Stephen Madaus, received his Engineering Degree from Worcester Polytechnic Institute. Janet Eaton took over as Secretary to the Board and staff when Nancy Stevenson left after working with the Town for over four years. We would like to extend our sincere appreciation to Mrs. Stevenson for all her time and effort in working closely with the Planning Board and staff. In welcoming our newest Planning Board member, George Perna, we would like to thank outgoing member Michael Roberts for his many dedicated years of service to the Town. The Planning Board and staff looks forward to becoming an integral component of the Division and will continue to work closely with the other departments on planning related issues. Our meetings the month and are invited to attend. are scheduled for the first and third Monday evenings of open to the public. All interested citizens are Respectfully submitted, PLANNING BOARD STAFF: Scott A. Stocking, Town Planner Stephen F. Madaus, Environmental Coordinator PLANNING BOARD MEMBERS: Paul A. Hedstrom, Chairman George D. Perna, Vice Chairman John L. Simons, Clerk John J. Burke Erich W. Nitzsche Karen H.P. Nelson, Division Director 14 Division of Public Works Report From the Division Director This is the first annual report for the newly consolidated Division of Public Works. The Charter changes approved at the 1986 Annual Town Meeting established a Division of Public Works which consolidated the activities performed by the Board of Public Works, Tree Warden, and Highway Surveyor. These activities include the administrative functions of engineering, water, sewer, parks, public grounds, trees, forestry, streets, and solid waste. The Division of Public Works is administered by a Division Director who reports directly to the Town Manager. Mr. Paul S. Niman serves as the Division Director. Mr. Niman is responsible for the overall supervision of the Division including planning, directing, and organizing all public works activities. Mr. William A. (Buddy) Cyr, the former Highway Surveyor, serves as Superintendent of Highways, Utilities, and Operations. Mr. Cyr is responsible for the daily operation and supervision of work crews for streets and solid waste. Mr. Leo Lafond, the former Tree Warden, serves as Supervisor of Forestry, Trees, and Grounds. Mr. Lafond is responsible for the daily operation and supervision of work crews for parks, public grounds, trees, and forestry. Mr. J. William Hmurciak serves as Director of Engineering and Administration. Mr. Hmurciak is responsible for the daily operation and supervision of work crews for water and sewer including the pumping station operations. The Board of Public Works continues to serve in an advisory role. The consolidation of the functions of the Division of Public Works will allow for more effective use of manpower and equipment. We will continue to look for ways in which we can improve the level of service while at the same time reduce costs. We will reorganize our activities to better serve the citizens of the Town. Water Supply & Distribution There were installed in 1986 - 1987, 14,590 feet of twelve-inch, 11,270 feet of eight-inch, 844 feet of six-inch ductile iron pipe; 34 twelve-inch, 20 eight-inch, and 58 six-inch gate valves; and 54 fire hydrants. The water main distribution system now consists of 137.77 miles of main pipe; 4 twelve-inch check valves; 2 twelve-inch altitude valves; 274 twelve-inch, 17 ten-inch, 473 eight-inch, and four-inch gate valves~ with 1,029 public hydrants.

The new and renewed water services equalled 357.3 miles of type "K" copper service pipe. 296 new meters were installed, 35 old meters were repaired, and 4 fire hydrants broken off by a car were replaced. All hydrants were inspected, repaired, and painted where necessary. The annual inspection of the 2,300 gate valves and valve boxes in the system was completed. Flouridation has been continually maintained by the Public Works Department and levels monitored by both ourselves and the State Department of Environmental Engineering. 15 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 established this past year. On May 1, 1986, as a result of the confirmed presence of giardia lamblia cysts in Lake Cochichewick, the State Department of Environmental Quality Engineering issued a boil order for the Town of North Andover. Despite the successful purging of the water distribution system and the continued negative results obtained from all giardia sampling, the boil order remained in effect due to the eruption of coliform bacteria caused by the breakdown of the biofilm within the distribution system. The boil order was lifted on January 27, 1987. In response, a number of measures and projects were undertaken to combat the giardia and bacteria problems. A complete flushing and disinfection of the entire distribution system was completed in May 1986. The Sutton Hill Reservoirs were cleaned and disinfected in June of 1986. The Bradford Street standpipe was cleaned, repainted, and disinfected in the fall of 1986. As part of the Town's ongoing distribution system rehabilitation program, 5,740 feet of twelve-inch water main on Waverley Road and Turnpike Street was cement lined by the Biszko Contracting Company. Also~ the old water main on Waverley Road from Main Street to Massachusetts Avenue was replaced with 3,600 feet of new twelve-inch ductile iron cement-lined pipe by Somerset Contractors. As a result of investigation of possible water main interconnections with the surrounding towns, two connections were designed with the Town of AndoYer. The first connection through the Merrimack College campus was completed in September of 1986 and has already been used during emergency shutdowns at our pumping stations to provide the safest possible drinking water. The second interconnection and pumping station on Peters Street is currently under construction with completion expected in the fall. In order to provide cysticidal chlorine dosages, the level of chlorination was increased at our pumping stations to a level above 2.5 mg/1 for a minimum 10 minute contact time. Supplemental chlorinators were constructed at six locations in October and November to maintain an optium chlorine residual throughout the entire distribution system. Because it is the stongest available disinfecting agent, ozone was chosen as the best interim treatment to control our system along with chlorine until the proposed water treatment is constructed. An ozone generation system and contact chambers was designed and constructed at both our pumping stations and was in operation in October, 1986. In order to better monitor our system to insure safe and potable drinking water, an extensive and detailed Water Quality Management Plan was initiated. The plan includes extensive daily sampling throughout the system, specific identification of bacteria species beyond the general coliform analysis, the daily analysis of numerous water quality characteristics, continuous computerized analysis of all collected data, and a giardia testing program. 16 The Town is also working closely with a task force made up of various state and federal health and environmental officials as well as consultants from Yale New Haven Hospital, the Southern Connecticut Water District, and the University of New Hampshire to insure that we are delivering a safe potable drinking water.

Maintenance was performed on municipal sewers. All mains were inspected, cleaned and flushed in the spring. Calls were received regarding sewer back-ups, 47 private house sewers were cleaned, most of them blocked with roots. One sewer connection was replaced. Design was started for sewerage to serve the south side of Lake Cochichewick from the existing sewer on Pleasant Street and extending on Great Pond Road to Coachman's Lane. Construction is anticipated for 1988. Sewer Receipts for 1986 - 1987: Collected Sewer Rates: July 1, 1986 - June 30, 1987 $354,870.23 Collected Sewer Const. &Misc.: July 1, 1986 - June 30, 1987 4,945.00 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. 2O Playground Maintenance The playground system consists of Grogan's Field, 4.7 acres; Drummond Field, 5.0 acreas; American Legion Beach, 1.4 acreas; 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 replaced at the Carl Thomas, Drummond, Aplin and Grogan playgrounds. A bridge over the brook at the Reynolds Playground was repaired. Eleven truck loads of sand were spread over the bathing beach to improve the swimming area. The 36th annual swimming meet was sponsored by the Veterans of Foreign Wars, Post #2104 on August 9, 1987, and as usual was a great success. The beach was open from June 18, 1987, until September 7, 1987. 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 field at the Middle School were reconstructed. These 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 Maintenance 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 Ground; and 20 small plots at street intersections - a total of 15 acres. Extensive trimming of shrubbery was completed at the Police Station, Memorial Park, Old Center Common, Town Hall and the courtyard at the Middle School. Pine bark mulch was also spread in the above areas and at the Kittredge School. 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. New playground equipment was installed at the Thomson School. The broad jump pit at the Middle School was widened, and the varsity baseball field behind the Middle School was given a major reconstruction. Outdoor basketball courts were also installed at the Middle School this year. 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. 21 Street Maintenance Installed approximately 1000 1.f. of new steel beam guard rail on Great Pond Road along the shore of the lake and the North Pumping Station. Guard rails were also installed on Chestnut Street (150 1.f.) and Boston Street (200 1.f.). The following streets were sealed with oil; Boston Street, Willow Ridge Road to Andover Line, Sullivan Street, Forest Street (part). Gray Street, Lacy Street, Ingalls Street, Brook Street, Farnum Street (part). Summer Street, Foster Street (part), Winter Street (part), South Bradford Street (part), Barker Street, Martin Avenue (part), Bacon Avenue, Stevens Street (part), Pleasant Street (part), Bay State Road (Osgood Street side). Road reconstruction and improvements were carried out along Great Pond Road. The banking was cut back along the curve along the Golf Course to make sight distance better. This will also make snow plowing operations easier. The driveway to the High school was rebuilt including all sidewalks entering from Osgood Street. New sidewalks were installed on Clarendon Street, Village Green Drive, and the High School. New drainage was installed on Water Street (800 1.f.), Elm Street (500 1.f.), and Clarendon Street. Added pipe to the culvert on Essex Street. Put French drain and 150 1.f. of pipe on Great Pond Road at Golf Course. Repaired six catch basins and cleaned out all drainage courses at the High School. The following streets were all or partly hottopped: Johnson Street, Rea Street, Ferncroft Circle, Wildwood Circle, Sutton Street, Great Pond Road, Clarendon Street, Mass. Avenue, Brentwood Circle, Pleasant Street, Marbleridge Road, Union Street, Second Street, Forest Street, Foster Street, Chestnut Street, Mill Road, Summer Street, Salem Street, Campbell Road, Holt Road, Ash Street, Berry Street. Approximately 1,500 catch basins were cleaned by machine and 500 by hand between the months of April, May & June. Snow fencing was put at various locations throughout Town. Approximately 80 sand barrels were filled throughout the winter months at certain locations in Town for residents to use. The flood along the Merrimack and Shawsheen Rivers caused a problem to the D.P.W. both in cost and time to our men and our equipment. Most of the D.P.W. worked around the clock for the forty-eight hours of actual flooding and evacuation. Another week was spent on clean up and restoration of flooded areas. A substantial amount of money was attributed to this situation, and no State or Federal assistance was given to the Town. The cost associated with this flooding put a strain on our overtime budget as well as our general budget. 22 Solid Waste Collection & Disposal Rubbish collection was carried out throughout the year by Town crews. 9,379.82 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 item pick-up throughout the year. White goods, glass, and newspapers are recycled. Bulk leave collection was carried out during the last two weeks of October and into November. The Sharpener's Pond recycling area was opened on Wednesdays and Saturdays from May through December.

Niman, Director Division of Public Works Lake Cochichewlck · ¢'Nor~h Andover Citizen 23 Public Safety Animal Inspector During the past year I have inspected the animals and the farm conditions on four large beef and/or dairy farms as well as two small beef cattle farms. One farm was visited on several occasions in order to comply with state regulations for the importation of dairy cattle. I also visited five large horse farms in order to inspect the animals and the farm conditions. Twenty-one calls were made to inspect back yard horses, goats, and miscellaneous farm animals. Health certificates were issued to the farms and premises mentioned above. Fifteen dogs were quarantined as rabies suspects. Respectfully submitted, Robert Atwood, DMV Fireflghters Bobby Bonefant & Andy Sullivan familiarizing the chitdren of how a firefighter looks when at a fire 24 Civil Defense During this reporting period, particularly on April 6 - 8, 1987, torrential rains caused the evacuation of an apartment building housing 30 families and several businesses on Sutton Street along the Merrimack River and also causing the evacuation of approximately 15 families living on streets along the Shawsheen River. This degree of flooding has not been experienced in our Town since 1936. Fortunately no personal injuries were incurred. As the rivers started to rise on the morning of April 6, 1987, all emergency services had been alerted and were in place along both rivers in time to sandbag some of the private homes and affected businesses in an attempt to avert their being deluged. The Senior Center was activated to house affected families who might be displaced from their homes, and on April 7, 1987, 38 people from the Greater Lawrence area were housed and fed there by the Red Cross. On April 6, after a review of the situation, the Honorable Board of Selectmen declared a State of Emergency and notified all Town department heads, and the undersigned in order for civil Defense to initiate the necessary actions. Throughout this period of emergency, all Town departments including the Police and Fire displayed their professionalism by working long hours, often around the clock to render assistance to the affected families and business in the North Andover Mall who were in imminent danger of being inundated by the water as well as other families and businesses which were being evacuated when overtaken by floods. The Red Cross set up operations at the Senior Center and provided outstanding service throughout the emergency. The School Department offered housing and feeding services which fortunately were not required. All of our local shelters proferred their assistance, several food concessions volunteered food. Our community showed its compassion for the displaced families and businesses and many of our local citizens called to offer their services. The Fire Department manned pumps for as long as possible until in many cases the rising river water overtook their efforts at which time evacuations were carried out. Our local radio station WCCM gave excellent media support by airing all public broadcasts as long as required, with spot reporting in between. On April 8 the rivers finally crested and the tasks of returning people to their homes after once insuring they were safe and habitable was begun. The Town showed a very cohesive working relationship during the above-mentioned period with excellent cooperation by Police, Fire, Highway and Tree Departments. The Town Manager and Board of Selectmen maintained close communication with Civil Defense. Finally, damage assessments were compiled for Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Fire Chief Dolan worked tirelessly throughout this emergency fulfilling his duties as Fire Chief and able assisting in the many duties of Deputy Civil Defense Director throughout and after the flooding period. North Andover remains eligible for Federal Matching funds for 50% of salaries and certain administrative office expenses under the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) program. There is no surplus property program currently under FEMA. Our Emergency Operations Center (EOC) is approximately 90% set up for occupancy. The dehumidifier has resolved the humidity and dampness problems that existed. All antenna coaxial cables have been rerun from the roof to our radio room. We enjoy excellent communications on a 24-hour basis thanks to our 220 Mhz repeater, our phone patch capability and our hand held transceivers. Again, our thanks to Mr. Benjamin Farnum for allowing our repeater and antenna to be located on his premises on Boston Hill. 25 Last September we accepted the resignation of Mr. R. Dennis Dionne, who formed our present Auxiliary Police cadre and who dedicated a lot of time and effort into forming them into a well organized, trained group dedicated to serving the community. Mr. Dionne indicated that he would be unable to serve due to the stresses placed on his position with the New England Telephone Company based on new responsibilities due to a recent promotion. Mr. Richard C. Boettcher was promoted to command this unit, and a very orderly transition took place due to Mr. Boettcher's experience with the Auxiliary Police. The Auxiliary Police conduct vandalism patrols of all the public schools, playgrounds, or any Town facilities that fall under the cognizance of the Police Department. They continue to serve the Police Department in prouiding crowd control for all parades and any Town functions supported by the regular department. We thank Police Chief Stanley for his continued support of this group. The following are members of our Auxiliary Police group commanded by Sgt. Richard C. Boettcher: Executive Officer Ernest Harvey, Patrolmen Carl Wagoner, Michael Twomey, Jr., Hilton P. Cormey, Joseph Sullivan, Jr., and Ms. Eileen Burns. The following are 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. CB'ers are Joseph Whitehead and Ernest Harvey. Mr. Sullivan continues to conduct local training classes to train individuals to obtain their Novice Radio Amateur Licenses. We continue to search for a few selective volunteers with the willingness to dedicate some time to the civil Defense either in Communications (must possess a valid FCC Radio Amateur License), Auxiliary Police (must pass a security investigation conducted by the local Police Department), or Civil Defense Staff personnel. Any interested person will be given full consideration regardless of sex, race or creed. Information may be obtained by contacting any member of our group. I wish to take this opportunity to thank the following boards or individuals for the outstanding cooperation to our efforts during this reporting period, especially during the spring flooding: the Honorable Board of Selectmen, Town Manager Paul Sharon, the Advisory Board, all Town department heads and staffs, Police Chief Richard M. Stanley, with special thanks to Fire Chief William V. Dolan for his exemplary services during emergencies, as well as to the Fire Department. Also, to Communications Officer Joseph Sullivan, Jr., for his efforts in the upgrade of our Eec, as well as the RACES Group ; Richard C. Boettcher and the Auxiliary Police for fulfillment of their mission to the community with their usual professionalism; and lastly as usual to Mr. John J. Lyons, Deputy Director of Civil Defense, for his aggressive support throughout the year. Respectfully submitted, John J.

In October 1986 the former administrative board Department was dissolved with the new charter, and the Fire the administrative head of the Fire Department. for the Fire Chief became The time, efforts, and energies expended by all those who served as members of the Board of Fire Engineers and their dedication is not forgotten. The last board member and call deputy, John McGuire, has personified community spirit in the performance of his duties with the board. I thank him for his help and assistance. During the year, two thirty-year veterans of the department retired; Lt. John Sullivan and FF Gordon Rokes. As a result of Town Meeting, the department upgraded its vehicles by purchasing a new chief's car, a four wheel drive pick up for brush and forest fires, and had added a bucket truck for maintenance of the miles of fire alarm line. New aluminum doors have been installed to replace the wooden apparatus doors at Station 2. Four people have been hired and are working as dispatchers at the Main Street fire station 27 As the Town increases in size we are seeing an increase in calls. Here, as is true nationwide, the single-family dwelling accounts for the greatest frequency of structural fires. In the spring of 1987, the department in cooperation with other Town departments were busy in alleviating the flooding problems throughout the Town. Fire Department personnel have performed their duties in all instances with true devotion and sincere appreciation of the human need of the townspeople. In October of 1986 the Fire Department, in conjunction with the Board of Health and League of Women Voters and the corresponding organizers from Andover, conducted the first in what is hoped to be an annual "Household Hazardous Waste Collection Day" held at Merrimack College. The event was well attended and provided both communities with an answer to a serious problem. A future trend in fire safety came to being with the first installation of a residential fire sprinkler system. Since this installation on Equestrian Estates, several other homes have had systems installed, including the. largest at the Osgood Mills Condominiums. The department will continue to urge the installation of these systems as a means to "building in" fire protection. The support given the department by its personnel, other Town departments, and the citizens of the Town is appreciated and essential in our providing public fire protection and safety for the Town.

'("Norlh Aa]dover C tlc'eh t 8 photo 28 Police Department On December 6, 1986, I formally accepted command of the Police Department. During the years preceding my appointment, I envisioned a modern, technologically advanced Police Department that would be considered a true leader in the law enforcement field. With the advent of my administration, I have set a series of both long- and short-term goals which will benefit not only the Police Department but also the entire community The heart of any Police Department is its command structure and administrative staff. Without the support of the administration and the aid of street supervision, the organization as a whole will suffer. A revamping of the organizational structure has taken place but will be amended as required. Specifically, specialty assignments have been created: Sergeants are now patrol supervisors/line officers patrol by sectors and a formal chain of command has been established. The importance of this to the Town is that technically-trained personnel are readily available to handle any problem that a member of the community may be faced with in an expeditious, efficient manner. Several completely new departments have been established within the past year. Namely, a drug and alcohol unit, a juvenile unit, traffic survey department, and an expanded in-service training program. The drug and juvenile units are not only for enforcement, but both have a strong commitment to education and assisting the youths of this community with the numerous problems which plague their daily lives. To tie together all the necessary functions of the Police Department, a computer system has been installed which will become more and more invaluable everyday. Our most ambitious goal will be that of the National Law Enforcement Accreditation. It is the highest certification that can be awarded to a police department. The successful completion of this program to comply with its schedule of professional standards will be obvious to all community residents. The North Andover Police Department is staffed with young, dedicated officers who I am confident will achieve the highest professional standards in the law enforcement field. I feel strongly in providing the members of this department with the best in staff, equipment, and training programs so they will be able to fulfill their full potential in an effort to provide the best possible police service to you, the residents of North Andover.

Goff??an D¢rect~)r of ActMt~es 35 Historic Commission The discussion and support of the new Local Historical District, which includes houses on Academy Road, Osgood Street, Great Pond Road, Johnson Street, and Andover Street, was the main objective of the North Andover Historical Commission for the year 1987. The Commission members support the objective of the L.H.D., which is to preserve and maintain the historic character of the houses in the district. Also this year, the maintenance and beautification of the Blacksmith Shop Site, located on Andover Street, has been transferred to the Town of North Andouer due to the death of M. Frederick Kimball, our past benefactor. Many thanks belong to Mr. Josh Houghton for the upkeep of the site. The Commission is also continuing to complete the Historical Inventory Forms with the help of Ms. Carrie Poirier, a Merrimack College Professor. Respectfully submitted, Mary Hsrt, President Maria Ward Louisa M. King Anna H. Howes Martha Larson Susan Bournival Kathleen Szyska, Secretary Housing Authority As Executive Director, I am pleased to submit, on behalf of the North Andover Housing Authority Board of Commissioners and its chairwoman, Anna P. O'Connor, the Authority's 38th Annual Report for fiscal year ending September 30, 1987. This report has been prepared in accordance with Chapter 12lB of the General Laws of Massachusetts, which governs housing authorities. During the year, the Authority has assisted and provided low-rent subsidized units for approximately 400 citizens of our Town. These low-rent units are distributed in 6 developments, which consist of 239 units of elderly and 24 units of veterans' housing. As well as our publicly-owned apartments, the Authority also administers, through the use of federal and state funds, 2 rental subsidy programs. These programs subsidize tenants in existing housing that is funded pursuant to Section 8 of the United ~tates Housing Act of 1937 and Chapter 707 of the Statutes of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. This past year, the Housing Authority has begun construction on 36 additional units of housing. This housing award consists of a combination of 6 units of family housing, 10 units of congregate elderly housing, and 20 units of conventional elderly housing for a total grant award of approximately 1.7 million dollars. Congregate housing differs greatly from the conventional elderly housing that the Housing Authority has been accustomed to administering in the past. The Authority is one of the first in the Merrimack Valley to undertake this concept of housing. The Authority intends to utilize this concept to provide housing for those frail elderly who are unable to totally live independently, and customarily would haue no alternatiue but to seek nursing home care, although they would not be in need of full nursing care. 36 The congregate housing concept will be designed to allow private bedrooms and bathrooms, but shared common facilities such as living room, dining room and kitchen. The Housing Authority will be contracting with Elder Services of the Merrimack Valley to provide supportive services on a regular and routine basis. The services that the Authority anticipates providing are meal preparation, shopping, light housekeeping, and nursing care on a basis determined by need. This concept has worked extremely well in the past in other parts of the country, and we are quite confident that the program will be very successful here in North Andover. Additionally, the Authority has started the construction of six family housing units for young families starting out. This development will consist of a small six unit complex, basically consisting of an average of three bedroom units. Eligibility for this program will be similar to that of the current Veteran's Housing project and will be in accordance with state guidelines. This development is located on Ashland Street and will incorporate the use of an existing four family house with the addition of a freestanding two unit currently under construction. Lastly, the 20 units of conventional elderly housing will be constructed in a manner similar to our other state funded units. They will contain a combination living room/kitchen, a bedroom and private bath, for a total of approximately 500 sq. ft. of living space per unit. Eligibility for this state funded project will be the same as for those of other state funded projects. Site selection for our elderly complex has been completed with the acquisition of a 30,000 sq. ft. parcel of land located on Second Street. Construction is under way with a completion date scheduled for the summer of 1988. This fiscal year 1987 is a year of changes. After 23 years of devoted service to the Housing Authority, as a member of the Board of Commissioners, James McCabe has retired. As of August 1, 1987, Jim bade farewell. Both the board and staff at the Authority will miss him. Good luck and good health, Jim. We would like to welcome Nicholas Debitetto back to the Board after a long absence. Nick was selected to fill the remainder of Jim McCabe's term by a joint seating of the Board of Commissioners and the Board of Selectmen. Welcome, Nick. Lastly, by way of a personal note, this annual report is my last official act as Executive Director after 13 years of service at the North Andover Housing Authority. Effective October 1, 1987, my duties will terminate to enable me to spend full time in my consulting firm. During my tenure, I have truly been grateful for the opportunity to serve the community, tenants, and an outstanding group of dedicated board members. I feel that the Authority's achievements over these years has qreatly enhanced the quality of life for many of our deserving citizens. It is with both deep regret and a sense of pride that I must leave this most fulfilling and responsible position. Respectfully submitted, Louis P.

Our skating program ran for eighteen Sundays with two hours of skating every evening at Brooks school rink. This is a very popular program with young and old alike taking part. The program runs from November to the end of February. Our Saturday morning basketball program for girls and boys in grades two through four was held once again at the North Andover Community Center. It was very well attended, and we had about eighty-five youngsters in the program. During the April school vacation, we had three programs at the Community Center for the children on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings. We had a magic show, a musical show and a juggler. All three were very well attended. We had an activities program published this year which announced all our field trips and our special events. Field trips included a trip to play miniature golf, bowling, the Aquarium, Water Country, roller skating and beach day at Hampton Beach. The special events included these events which were held on the North Andover Common: Old Time Music & Vaudevill Revival with Mr. Slim; Cyrus Kosi, juggler, musician and comedy; Red Wagon from the Uniuersity of New Hampshire; fun filled hour of puppetry, story theatre; Grady Productions, Musical Stage Show; potpourri Wagon from the University of New Hampshire; Caravana from the University of New Hampshire; a musical program from Northeast Brazil; ice cream day and Joe Carota, magician. Our special needs program was operated once again from the Community Center and the children took part in all the events and special trips. Our evening programs were well attended. They included a womens softball league, mens softball league, girls softball league, and a pony league baseball program. James McAloon and Paul Therberge once again did a great deal of work with these programs. Our musical concerts were expanded to eleven; eight on Sunday evenings and three on Wednesday evenings. We were very pleased with the large turnout every evening at the concerts. We owe alot to the Council on Arts, the musicians union, and the merchants who helped sponsor all the concerts. We would like to thank the North Andover Fire Department, Leo Lafond, Bud Cyr, the Lawrence Eagle-Tribune, North Andover citizen for all their help this year.

Since it's initial operation in April, 1977, the facility has treated over 100 billion gallons of wastewater that was previously discharged, untreated, into the Merrimack River. During 1986, the average flow through the plant was 36.48 million gallons/day. The large increase was due primarily to the high flows from the flood of April and an infiltration problem that began during the winter and has yet to be located. Since each community pays for their proportionate share of the District's operating costs, it is necessary to measure the amount of wastewater from each. In 1986, Lawrence's average daily flow amounted to 44.47%, Methuen's was 25.24%, Andover's was 14.30%, and North Andover's was 10.89%, and Salem's was 5%. The percentages are used to establish the annual assessment for each community, e.g. Andover and North Andover will pay 14.30% and 10.89% respectively for the total operation and maintenance costs of the District for fiscal year 1988. Operation and Maintenance In 1986, 11,892.82 tons of solids were removed from the wastewater, dewatered and incinerated to a sterile ash. The power requirements for pumping and treating the wastes amounted to 15.4 million ~WH or $816,942.50. The plant effluent was treated with 184.77 tons of chlorine to kill any bacteria before discharging to the Merrimack River. The septage handling facility continued to have an impact on water quality in the northeast part of the state by providing an approved disposal site for handling residential septic tank wastes. The District service area includes septage from 75 communities. The additional waste load is assimilated into the existing reserve capacity included in the plant. The excess capacity also allows the District to receive wastewater sludge from the Towns of Maynard, Manchester, Billerica, Amesbury, Rockport, and the city of Gloucester. This service is extended until these communities complete modifications of their wastewater treatment facilities. The monies received from the septic tank pumpers and the communities of Maynard, Manchester, Billerica, Amesbury, Rockport and Gloucester are used to reduce the operating budget and assessment to District member communities. This is illustrated under the section on Financial Management. Note: Fiscal year '88 reflects an increase in assessment to the communities. This is due mainly to the fact that the facility maintenance costs are rising. Special Projects 1) Spicket River Interceptor On August 25, 1986, the Town of Salem, New Hampshire, shut down their treatment plant and diverted their flow to the GLSD. This marked a milestone in the District's history and served to illustrate the work that can be accomplished with many agencies cooperation. While the flow is entering the GLSD, it is only using a portion of the newly constructed intercepter. The 39 remaining pipeline to be constructed in Lawrence is being tunneled through 800 feet of ledge, 30 feet below street level. The entire pipeline is scheduled for completion in November of 19S7. 2) Fourth Aeration Basin and Clarifier Plans for an August 1987 ground breaking for the construction of two more treatment tanks is on schedule. These tanks were an original part of the facility, but the DEQE asked the District to defer construction due to the demand for grant money during the early '70's. Once construction is started, it is hoped that the additional tanks will be operational by the summer of 1988. 3) Scum Concentrator Grease and scum handling is a problem at every WWTF. The District has explored many alternatives. The agreed upon technology utilizes a flotation device which will thicken this material. The concentrator is equipped with a feed device which will allow us to slowly blend in scum with the dewatered sludge, thus preventing uncontrollable incinerator conditions; conditions which have caused damage to our sludge incinerators in the past. 4) Hydrogen Peroxide Feed System For the past four years, the District's operation division has been experimenting with odor control technologies in the belt filter press room where hydrogen sulfide gases eminate. The reasons were two fold; one, employee health and, two, equipment protection. After many trials and experiments, it was discovered that hydrogen peroxide best met our needs. After a year of collaboration between the GLSD, chemical vendors, and equipment suppliers, the feed system was installed and is currently operating. 5) Ash Pit Recognizing the fact that we only have a couple of years of space remaining in our existing ash pit, we directed our consultants, CDM, to design a state-of-the-art ash disposal facility. After ~onducting a facilities plan, it was determined that the most cost effective, sensible solution was an on-site ash pit utilizing a portion of the District's property currently not in use. This ash pit will be double lined, employ ground water suppression and leachate collection equipment, and be sized to meet our needs for the next 20 years. We are currently in the design phase and hope to begin construction in early 1988. 6) Third Incinerator and Existing Scrubber Modifications The Greater Lawrence Sanitary District had t~he luxury of redundant unit processes for ease of maintenance and continuity of operation when it first began operation in 1977. Since that time, growth has eliminated much of that redundancy. Such is the case in our sludge incineration area. We are planning on the construction of a third incinerator to build in redundancy, and we are going to retrofit our existing air emissions scrubbers with the latest equipment in order to meet the l~test air quality standards. The facilities plan is in the DEQE office for review. Once approved, the study can be conducted. This study will recommend the alternative to design. The engineers will then design and construct a unit. Our early estimates show total time for their project to be approximately five years. We are endeavoring to expedite this process. 40 Financial Manaqement The District continues to be successful in managing its finances to keep the local assessments down in spite of increases in the cost of doing business. This is a result of maximizing the yield from investments, energy conservation, taking in sludge and septage from outside the District, and efficient operation. The numbers speak for themselves. Even though the assessment rose .1 million, the revenue from outside sources reduced the assessment to the member communities by .7 million dollars. Fiscal Year 1981 Fiscal Year 1982 Fiscal Year 1983 Fiscal Year 1984 Fiscal Year 1985 Fiscal Year 1986 Fiscal Year 1987 Fiscal Year 1988 Although it becomes increasingly District will continue to pursue this its employees to accomplish it. We have - $3.42 million - $3.32 million - $3.29 million - $3.24 million - $3.23 million - $3.16 million - $3.10 million - $3.20 million difficult to keep costs down, the goal and rely on the resourcefulness of been very successful to date.

(2) Does not include exhibits, programs, story hours, reference services and other in-house use. 41 The library circulates over six items per person, which is above the state average. This year we introduced the borrowing of adult video cassettes (do-it-yourself), public domain software, and compact discs. The library computer network has been expanded to include twenty-one valley public libraries. As some of you have already discovered, we have frozen our paper card catalog and have introduced a public computer terminal for locating our materials as well as those in other libraries. Our reference librarians can also electronically look into the collections at the university of Lowell and two other public library networks. The result is that the residents of North Andover have access to not only the 70,000 item collection housed at the Stevens Memorial Library, but also have available to them the collections of over seventy other public and college libraries. The library also introduced an apple computer which may be used by the public. The meeting room, which is available free of charge to any non-profit group, was used an average of twenty times per month. Our passes to the Museum of Science, the Museum of Fine Arts, and the Childrens Museum were all popular. My thanks to the North Andover Arts Council and the North Andover Business and Professional Board of Trade for their generous support of these passes. Our programming in the Childrens' Room, which was increased to include an afternoon story hour as well as a monthly special Saturday program this last year, has proved very successful and will be continued this next year. Adult programs included workshops on fashion, cooking, rare books, several investment seminars, rug and quilting workshops, and programs on antiques, interior decoration, and personal development. Thanks to our generous local artists, we were able to change our displays every month. Through the help of the Nortk Andover Arts Council, we were again able to award prizes for our top local artists, as well as purchase three original watercolors for loan. I would like to express my thanks to the many volunteers, contributing exhibitors, and staff for making fiscal 1987 a most successful year. Russell J. Reeve, Director During the year the Board continued to guide the investment and expenditure of endowed funds and to oversee the upkeep of the library. We have continued to work on the passage of the state legislation which would complete the funding package needed to construct the addition to the library. The project has, in spite of the funding delays, still moved foreward. Thanks to the Stevens Foundation, we have been able to progress into the architectural planning phase of the project. We expect to have the design phase completed before December, 1987. The most important decision the Board made this past year was to retain the services of the architectural firm, Amsler Hagenah MacLean, Architects, Inc. Their previous experience with libraries and historic renovation should result in a design which the citizens of North Andover can be proud to pass along to the next generation. The Board of 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 Robert Bernardin, Asst. Treasurer William B. Duffy E.

The School Committee and Administration is pursuing goals, both in curriculum and in facilities, to prepare these students, the system, and the Town for the 21st century. The most critical need is for space for the growing elementary population and the programs man- dated by law. There were almost one hundred more students this Fall and another one hundred and twenty five projected for the Fall of 1988. After exhaustive research, the School Committee with the School Building Conm]ittee proposed the best alternative for the Town of North Andover is a new elementary school to be built as a first step in preparing for our future. We thank Town Meeting for its overwhelming support for a new school. Unfortunately, a Proposition 2-1/2 override to pay for the new school was defeated in June. A feasibility study of the existing conditions and plans for upgrading and/or expansion of our older schools was passed and is underway. The School Building Co~mittee is proceeding with its study and will have a proposal for Town Meeting 1988. An architectural study for enclosing space at the high school was also approved and will be ready for Town Meeting. Major capital improvement projects included a new boiler at the Kittredge School, repainting the entire old wing of the Middle School, and the repairing and repaying of the North Andover High School tennis courts. The School Committee thanks the voters for their support of the school budget and recognition of the needs of a school system that has for too long been underfunded. A per pupil expenditure that is $600 below the State average touches all aspects of the curriculum, including, but not limited to, athletics, libraries, facilities, supplies, and staffing. Our new Superintendent, Dr. George Blaisdell, reviewed the needs of the system and issued an Action Plan to address these needs. The School Committee fully supports the Action Plan and the budget implications it entails. The Town, its youth, and the school system were very pleased to be the recipients of a three million dollar trust fund for Drug Free Schools. A Town-wide advisory board will administer the fund. Mr. Daniel L. Desmond, Principal, N.A.H.S., has announced his retirement at the end of the school year. The School Committee recognizes his twenty two years of service and devotion to the schools, the community, its youth, and his staff, with deep appreciation and recognition that it will be very difficult to replace him, we say goodbye. Mr. Robert Mascola has resigned from the School Committee after eight years of service. He was a most able member of the School Committee, whose leadership through the trials of Proposition 2-1/2 cuts and into the progressive years of Dr. Bernal and Dr. Blaisdell will be sorely missed. Finally, we wish to thank the entire staff of our school system for their commitment to excellence. Working together, teachers and staff, parents, volunteers and citizens, we can make an excellent system even better. Diane B. Batal, Chairman Mark S. DiSalve John J. Gaffny III Brian R. Donahue 43 AiT61UAL REPORH OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS It is a pleasure to report to the citizens cf North Andcver about the accomplishments of the school system during this past year. Information about our schools and programs was submitted by building principals and directors. Enrollment Student enrollment is increasing dramatically at the elementary level. We began the 1987-88 school year with an increase of 115 students in grades K-6 when compared with the 1986-87 school year. This increase was only partially offset by a decrease of 35 students in grades 6-8 and a decrease of 38 students in grades 9-12 when compared with the previous year. Enrollment projection~ indicate continuing dramatic increases in the elementary grades, coupled with a levelling off at the middle and high school levels. Goals and Objectives The following goals for the school system were established in mid-February, shortly after my arrival in North Andover. Goals · Develop a system-wide, clear statement of educational philosophy. This statement should include a definition of the needs of students and the expectations of the community. There should be a connection between the philosophy and the design and implementation of the system's curriculum. The philosophy should be reviewed periodically to assure its validity. sContinue to develop annual goals and objectives as a major component in plans for improvement and strengthening of the school system. Such goals and objectives should be specific and widely communicated. $Require each school to develop an action plan to achieve system goals, to strengthen student achievement, and to monitor, assess, and report regularly plan progress to the community. eEstablish a system-wide curriculum review and evaluation process. This process must include a structure for making informed curriculum decisions and must previde for the systematic evaluation of all school offerings. It must further provide for consideration of skills and concepts which may not currently be a part of the curriculum. While the professional teach- ing staff must have the major role in this process, community participation should actively be encouraged and sought. As part of the curriculum review and eval- uation process, we need to assure that pupil performance is commensurate with students' abilities. 44 Status in Dece~er The system's philosophy has been completed and adopted by the School Committee. See next section. Completed for 1987. Completed for all schools, except the High School. The High School will use the report of the Visiting Committee from The New England Association of Schools and Colleges as the basis for its action plan. Completed and operating. · Provide financial support for curriculum development efforts. Such support should include time for teachers to do this as well as material resources sufficient for high quality work. eStrsnqthen the system's staff development efforts. There should be a relationship between such efforts and system, building, and teacher goals. The continued professional growth of the staff must be encouraged. · Review, with appropriate participants~ the entire staff evaluation system. Such a review should consider goals of professional growth, collaboration for such growth, and high expecta- tions. · Provide increased financial support for academic materials, supplies, and equipment to re- fleet the wide range of students' abilities and interests. eReduce class sizes in the primary grades. Class sizes in these grades should be no more than 20-22 students per class, less in some instances. .Strengthen Library/Media resources at all levels. This means space, staff, and material resources. ,Establish a planned com3nunity outreach pro,ram. Build on the many efforts of parents currently involved with the schools. Inform the community about the school system's strengths and weaknesses. Involve the con,unity in a part- nership with the school system. It is our re- sponsibility to reach out, not the con~aunity's responsibility to reach in. · Develop a Long-Range Facilities Master Plan. Capitalize on the extensive work done over the past two years on facility planning. In a process which is clearly defined and com- municated to the community, establish the criteria for future planning for facilities. Address issues of equity of opportunity in facilities. Tell the community what must be done, how long it will take, and how much it will cost. .Coordinate and review student services at all levels. Student services and staffing levels must be reviewed to assure provision of necessary services. An internal review of the special education program should be conducted. .Review school zones and bus routes. Ele- mentary age children from one family should be lable to attend the same elementary school with ~iblings. BUS routes should encompass bus Fides of reasonable time for students. 45 Begun in the 1987-88 school year. Planned continuance. An improved process was begun with the 1987-88 school year. Well underway with the Teachers' Association. Not begun with other employee groups. Begun with the 1987-88 school year. Planned continuance. No progress in this area. Elemen- tary class sizes actually increased slightly. Library curriculum developed. A second elementary librarian added for the 1987-88 school year. Completed and operating High School Open Space Study com- pleted. Feasibility Study almost com- pleted for all schools. Master Plan s~heduled for completion on February 29, 1988. Detailed internal review completed. Change budgeted for the 1988-89 school year. Completed. Improvements in trans- portation are unlikely with existing resource levels. Improvements budgeted for the 1988-89 school year. eDevelep a Facilit~ Maintenance Plan. Efforts have clearly been made in this regard and such ef- forts have not received sufficient funding. This plan represents the best way to communicate our needs. eDevelop a School System Policy Manual. There are current policies on a wide range of topics. They require systematic coding and cataloging in a readily retrievable and useable format. Completed. Study indicates signifi- cant underfunding of facility maintenance Several policies added in 1987. Sys tematic coding system in place. School System Philosophy The North Andover Public School System believes that excellence in education is an attainable goal for the particular group of students it serves. To reach that goal, we support high expecta- tions and standards for our students so that each student may reach full potential. Excellence is a responsibility shared by all participants in the process: students, parents, staff, adminis- trators, School Committee, and the conununity, each having unique and complementary roles and each having opportunities to influence the curriculum. Education is at the foundation of and critically important to a changing society. The effect of accelerated changes in science and technology on society demands that our curriculum, services, and staff be continually assessed to assure that we properly prepare students for the future. Accordingly, the school system must provide a sequentially coordinated curriculum which allows for individual differences within our school program. The system's curriculum must extend beyond the basic skills of coa~[lunication and computation to application in creative problem solving, conceptualizing, refinement of critical thought, mastery of writing techniques and processes and the establishment of an abiding thirst for knowledge Encouraging our staff and students to try to achieve excellence by stretching their abilities requires tolerance and acceptance of mistakes made in honest efforts. We intend to profit and learn from such experiences. Implemented by strategies focused on student needs and founded on sound educational research and practice, the curriculum must support, challenge, and provide stu- dents with opportunities for the consideration of occupational choices, stress the importance of physical and emotional health, develop an appreciation of the arts, and encourage the development of life-long learning skills and attitudes. There must be a school environment in which students develop and demonstrate positive human values, consider and respect individual worth, and gain self-respect. The school atmosphere must foster student understanding of responsibility, tolerance, commitment, and privilege in a democratic society. Students should complete our programs knowing that they are responsible for their actions and having respect for themselves and others. Finally, our schools must be safe, clean, well maintained buildings, staffed by a highly competent, caring, and professional faculty. With the belief that the public schools belong to the community, we conunit to ensuring positive communication among the staff, the schools, and the community. Programs and Activities Bradstreet Early Childhood Center The second year of operation for the Bradstreet Early Childhood Center was a time for expanding the new programs. There were four prekindergarten classes, nine kindergarten classes, one clinical nursery, two extended kindergarten classes daily, and two prefirst classes. Curriculum The deYelopm~ntal curriculum was further implemented. Each class had a listening center and math was taught using manipulatives. The kindergarten and the prefirst teachers have changed the progress reports to correlate with the new program being taught. ¢6 The staff used the curriculum days to further develop their knowledge of developmental curricu- lum. Three of the curriculum days were math workshops, one had a quest speaker discuss the use of puppets in developing language skills and one had a behavior consultant, Joan Norton, speak on classroom management. Registration and Screening The screening process was changed to help develop a better rapport with the parents as well as receive more accurate information about the child. The screening was held at the Trinitarian Congregational Church on Elm Street in North Andover. Parent volunteers from the P.T.O. and the P.T.A.C. served as receptionist and guides. The reception area for the parents had educational material available for them to read as they waited for their child. A volunteer was available to answer any questiona and make them feel comfortable. The screening consisted of four parts: Gesell Readiness Test, Speech and Language, Eyes and Ears testing and an assessment for special needs. The children were given the opportunity to play with puzzles, cla~ and interact with other children. This made the child more comfortable with his new environment. Two hundred and fifty-two children were screened, using this procedure. Two extra screening days will be scheduled for August 1987 to accommodate new registrations. Upon completion of the screening process, letters were sent to the parents from the Director of Special Needs and the Director of Early Childhood containing the school district's recommenda- tion for the proper developmental placement for the child. Parents were given the opportunity for an individual conference to discuss the recommendation. Seventy-three conferences were held during the month of May pertaining to children's placement. Two information meetings were held to explain the prekindergarten and prefirst curriculum. The agenda consisted of a movie on developmental curriculum, teachers explaining what the goals of the class are, parent speakers whose children attended these programs giving their opinions and observations, and a question-and-answer period. Parents were invited to observe the present prefirst classes. Other outreach programs to help inform the parents on child development included: visits to nursery schools and speaking to the parents of pre-school children, guest lecturer Jim Grant was sponsored, a parent workshop with Joan Norton on child behavior was conducted. An invitation was sent to local nursery schools to tour the center with their students who will be attending the school next year. Six nursery schools took advantage of this opportunity. Volunteers Seventy-eight volunteers assisted in some capacity at the center this past year. In addition to parents volunteering, there were four "foster grandparents." These were senior citizens who helped in the classrooms in a variety of ways. This program was well received and will be expanded in the 1987-88 school year. An Appreciation Coffee was held in June in honor of all those who volunteered. Atkinson School This year several changes occurred at the Atkinson School. 1. Two new resource rooms were placed there and the teachers did a superlative job in orient- ing children to their new building and providing integration within the regular program where called for and initiating modifications for individual students as deemed appropriate by the staff, 2. A second grade was added. 3. Atkinson School became the home for Town Precinct~ 3 and 4 which required certain adjust- ments on election days. 4. Based on parent survey, a Mid-year Open House was instituted. Over three hundred parents and relatives attended this very successful event. 5. New Report Cards were used, involving NCR paper. Despite some initial minor problems, 47 they were successful both in communicating information to parents (same information but change in format), and they also relieved teachers of tedious, time-consuming clerical work. The time was used more productively for immediate pupil benefit. Franklin School The 1986-87 school year has been One of cautious modification, innovative programming, and creative additions to the existing curriculum. It has also been a time of extensive self-evaluatior and examination of the teacher's role in extending the learning activities provided by the school. One of the high points of the year had students learning about medieval times. For a time, the Franklin School became enthralled with knights and chivalry, castles and cathedrals, jousting and tournaments. The culmination of this schoolwide unit was a medieval day when teachers and pupils wore costumes and final activities were shared. Dragons and villains shared the limelight with knights and heroes, while all participated in games, activities, and stories depicting life in the Middle Ages. Kittredge School The reading program testing assisted the teachers by showing which students need reteaching and reinforcement in certain skill areas. Mr. Nelson generated the print-outs from the cards that were submitted. The teaching staff were grateful for this program. The fourth and fifth grades utilized the new science books and kits from Merrill Publishers. The first three grades will be getting their new science material by September. Chapter 188 funds supplemented the curriculum, by bringing in cultural activities. The Enrich- ment Council was responsible for coordinating and block-booking the events. This Council did an excellent job. The Kittredge School had a very active Parent Teacher Organization. Mrs. Joanee Cahill ex- tended herself and had her group raise money for field trips, fifth grade graduation program, and various other activities for the students' benefit. The parents gave complete support to the many activities which the P.T.O. originated and supervised. Parent volunteers came into the classrooms and assisted the teachers in reading projects and other areas. The Project Charlie utilized many volunteers for a very successful program. Thomson School The following goals were implemented during the past year: Develop a program to improve critical thinking skills and listening skills in students. Implementation of the new reading program in grades 1-5. 3. A systematic and continuous evaluation of student progress in achieving the objectives of the school. 4. Implementation of the new science program in grades 4 and 5. 5. Establish curriculum that recognizes the needs of the community, as well as the students. In addition to the above curriculum developments, we also had a great deal of school-parent involvement at Thomson School. We continued to work with the S.I.C. and the Thomson School P.T.A.C Between the two groups, we were able to have the following programs for the children which many of the parents took the opportunity to attend: 1. Introduction to Opera. 2. Entire school field trip to Boston to view the "Nutcracker Suite." 3. Visit of pilgrims from the Plimouth Plantation. 4. Opera: "Levers, Rogues and Fools" 5. "Harriet Tubman's Freedom Train" 6. New England Theater Build presented "A Swan Is Born." 7. Tom McCabe "Storyteller" Science Museum "Animal Show" and Science Museum "Introduction to Physical Science." 48 North Andover Middle School Program improvements and modifications continued to take place at the Middle School this year. A general review of the science and mathematics curriculum was started by staff committees while work in the area of reading continued. The Houghton-Mifflin and Ginn reading programs were implemented in Grade 6 this year following a K-6 adoption of these programs. Utilizing a wealth of teacher resources and student materials, staff members launched this program with great success. In grades seven and eight, these same programs were piloted by staff members who were part of the school's reading curriculum review team. In addition, several other approaches to the teaching of reading were thoroughly investigated by this review team. As a result of their two-year study, the staff recommended an approach to the teaching of reading utilizing a wide variety of materials including novels, as opposed to a basal program. Vocabulary studies, the newspaper, non-fiction, and periodicals will be included in the program along with a heavy emphasis on study skills related to the content areas. The North Andover btiddle School was the recipient of a two-year National Exellence in Educa- tion Grant focusing on the development of student writing utilizing technology. Seven English teachers, with representation from each grade level, have been involved in this project which is enabling these teachers to develop a writing curriculum using the process writing approach in con- junction with word processing on the Apple computers in our lab. This project will include summer workshops and will continue through next year. The anticipated result will be an improved, coor- dinated writing curriculum for all students at each grade level. A pilot interdisciplinary unit was developed and implemented by one seventh grade team this past year. Utilizing the "Voyage of the MiMi" instructional program which includes video tapes, computer programs, and literature, this team expanded the unit to include all academic disciplines, as well as music, art and home economics. This program was extremely successful and as a result of its evaluation, the program will be extended to all seventh grade teams next year. The students in the seventh grade participated this year in the first round of testing under :he new Statewide Assessment Program. Results of the testing showed the North Andover students to ~e doing better than those students of similar background statewide. {tudent Leadership This year~ a number of students participated in the Greater Lawrence Middle Level Leadership ?rogram. Student leaders from ten schools in Greater Lawrence housing grades 6-9 met regularly 2hroughout the year far workshops to develop leadership skills, to develop schoolwide projects, and plan events for all middle school students in Greater Lawrence. As a result of this program, a group of students, under the leadership of Mr. Richard Lombard, ~lanned, constructed, and operated a school store. The store was built in a corner of the cafeteria ~ith assistance from local construction companies and citizens. The store was a lively center of ~ttention and has helped greatly in developing student spirit. The North Andover Middle School also participated in the Greater Lawrence Academic Bowl which ~as an outgrowth of the Leadership Program. Paired with the Henry K. Oliver School in Lawrence, ~he team captured first place in the round-robin academic competition. A major event brought about through the Leadership Program was an anti-drug program sponsored by the Bank of Boston~ This program brought all seventh and eighth graders from Greater Lawrence together at the Methuen High School Field House for the M. L. Carr program, Stand Tall Against Drugs. Through the initiative of several students, along with Mr. Donald Latham and Mr. Donald Childs, ~ magnificent planter was built and installed in the school's lobby. This has added greatly to tbe ~verall appearance of the school. :nricbment Pro~rams Through the efforts of the Middle School Improvement Council, the North Andover Enrichment :ouncil, and the staff, a number of assembly programs were scheduled at the school. Included in 49 these events were the LaSalle's Adventure Program, Ensemble Afrique, Birds of Prey, Emerson College Stage Production, Opera-to-Go, and Science Museum programs along with several cultural events held at the Collins Center. In addition, each team conducted field trips to enhance the curriculum for all students. Included was the valuable seventh grade program presented by the North Andover Historical Society. Many grade seven students were again involved in a Junior Achievement Program which featured representatives from local business organizations presenting classroom programs on a regular basis A very ~nformative parent workshop was bold featuring Dr. James GarvSn of the New England League of Middle Schools. Building Improvements During the summer of 1986, several projects were undertaken to improve the appearance and functioning of the Middle School. The library was completely refurbished with new paint, carpeting and vertical blinds. The office area was also carpeted and the main lobby was re-tiled. Drinking fountains were replaced and the boiler refurbished to improve its performance. Over the course of the year, all of the student wall lockers throughout the building were replaced with colorful, individual locker units. In addition, all lockers in the physical educatio~ locker rooms and team rooms were also replaced. While much attention has been given to the physical plant of the school, it continues to need further attention. During the summer of 1987, much of the interior of the building is scheduled for painting. Exterior lighting is also scheduled for upgrading. The auditorium needs general refurbishing and new lighting. Much of the floor tile needs to be replaced in a large part of the building. Extensive use of the building beyond school hours places great strain on the physical plant. Other Significant Events A tremendous contribution continues to be made to this school by parent volunteers. The Parent Advisory Council conducted its annual fund-raising event and through its efforts purchssed five outside basketball standards and several other pieces of equipment, contributed to the school store, assisted in the funding of the school activities program, and helped fund several assembly programs. Further, a significant contribution is made hy parents who daily call the homes of absentee students as part of our Safety Check Program. The School Improvement Council met on a monthly basis to review areas where assistance could be given to improve the school. The school store, Leadership Program, enrichment events, the school yearbook, and Class Night were all supported through the funding available for this Council. Class Night for the eighth grade students featured a barbcque~ video program, lip-synch con- test, and dancing. The extraordinary efforts of the staff and parents made the entire affair held in the courtyard with a Hawaiian theme, greatly successful. North Andover ~igh School Curriculum The introduction of a field laboratory program ~nto our biology curriculum has enhanced the experience for our students in the freshman accelerated biology classes. Other biology programs have been improved with the inclusion of a unit dealing with nutrition. The course, Home Management, has been upgraded with a major emphasis upon consumer economics being added to the syllabu~. Research and reference activities and skills continue to receive a significant amount of attention as a result of the combined efforts of our librarian and the teachers within the English and Social Studies departments. The program to orient freshmen to our library has been improved through the updating of the audio-visual m~terials used to illustrate the majo~ areas of the instruc tional materials that are available for students. 5O Foreign Language instruction was complemented by bringing in native speakers through the .F.S. program. A total of seven countries were represented. In addition, special guests from ~ailand, Costa Rica and Barbados contributed to cultural phases of our curriculum. Ten of our ~udents participated in a three-week, twenty-five hour inversion program in Hispanic culture Lawrence. This program is designed to increase vocabulary and oral comprehension, to develop ~eaking skills and self-confidence with the language. Co~mnunity resource people such as lawyers, representatives from veteran groups, advocates om various social groups, native Americans from Plymouth Plantation, and a college student from apan were contributors to our Social Studies classes during the year. Through the combined efforts of the athletic department, school administrators and the sssachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association, two programs for students and parents dealing ith chemical awareness were presented. The impetus for these programs stemmed from Mr. Richard ~zzi's participation in a three-day workshop conducted by the MIAA specifically for the develop- spt of such programs. Over eight hundred parents, students, and coaches participated in the program that was held n the fall. A similar program was held in the winter for winter and spring seasons' athletes. ~sponse from parents, students, and coaches was excellent. tudent Services Generally, our services to students are co~endable. Our food service, under the direction f Mr. Richard Poutenis, is more than adequate if one judges this from the percentage of students no avail themselves of the service. Certainly, in the area of Health Services to our students, we receive a good return for the lnds invested in this area. The services pr~vlded daily by one purse to 1,083 students, plus working staff of over 1©0 adults, is outstanding. During the year Mrs. Foulds is assisted by ther school nurses when special examinations required by law are performed. Student transportation services are more than satisfactory. Busses, for the most part, arrive time and deliver students safely. Reports from staff concerning service on field trips and thletic events are always complimentary. From my perspective, the A.B.C. Bus Company meets our ~eds very well and they, along with our bus coordinator, Mr. Fred Rex, are to be commended. In the area of Guidance Services, it is my observation that educational and personal counseling ~rvices are acceptable. The addition of a clerical person in guidance has been helpful in relieving Dunselors of tasks that prevent them from seeing more students. We do need to conduct surveys our graduates on a regular basis to help us determine the effectiveness of our services and ~ucational Media Services I em pleased to report that our library and audio-visual, previously separate entities, have )mpleted the second year as an integrated department under the direction of Janet DiGianni. ~. DiGianni reports that the day-to-day operation of the Instructional Materials Center improved ~nsiderably. She attributed this to the Urocedures aed policies that are in place~ and staff, long with students, have become familiar with the expectations of the Center's staff. As reported under the Curriculum standard, library use by the staff and students continues increase, particularly in Social Studies and English. Overall, I am very pleased with the inds of services provided by our staff in the Instructional Materials Center. ~aff and Administration During the past year our staff and administration worked effectively to deliver the educational ~ogram to our students. An area of concern is the impact that staff long-term illness has on educational outcome of our students. It seems, in recent years, we have had more than our fare of illness that has required replacement of teachers for several months. We were fortunate one sense as we were able to get replacements that worked very hard to maintain the high standards the teachers they replaced. 51 Our Student Council became more involved in school programs. They initiated breakfast meeting~ for Council members; they spearheaded our Shadow Orientation Program for incoming freshmen; they assisted with both Parent Conferences and Grade S Parent Orientation evening programs; they did a considerable amount of the leg work for senior privileges, our Student Recognition Banquet and Parent Council activities, such as Teacher Appreciation Day. They were an effective, unselfish qroup of students, and I am indebted to them for their many contributions to our school. School Facilities A major study of the "Open Space" has been undertaken. This important work is the first step toward resolution of some long-standing instructional space problems. The grounds surrounding our building have taken on a new look in the past several years with the planting of trees, shrubs, and the addition of the "rock garden" on the southeast end of the academic wing. The caring for our grounds and trees has improved one thousand percent since the reorganization of the departments responsible for the grounds. I commend the Public Works Depart- ment, Mr. Leo Lafond, and Town Manager, Mr. Paul Sharon, for their roles in this improvement. with the resurfacing of our road, Scarlet Knight Lane, our school took on a fresh appearance. Community Support and Involvement Our students were active in coR~unity activities through our band, chorus, speech, and parent council membership and activities. The High School Parent Council gave us an opportunity to blend school and conuuunity activities. Parents were very involved with staff members and students in our Leadership Conference, the planning of a major student social activity in the fall, and the publishing of a High School Parent Newsletter. Of course, the parents and students collaborated very well with the planning for Teacher Appreciation Day. School Atmosphere It is my opinion that there was a more positive atmosphere in our school during the past year. I believe that student participation in the planning and execution of many programs and activities, such as Grade 8 Shadow Program, psrent conferences, and their participation on com~itte, involved with our Self-Study contributed greatly to this improvement. I am pleased to report that personnel who are advisors, coaches, and directors of student clubs, activities, athletics, and other extra-curricular programs have maintained a high standard and student interest remains high. Pupil Performance/Educational Results The measures to assess pupil performance traditionally used by our staff: subject area testin~ mid-term and final examinations, standardized achievement tests, and other teacher-developed forms of evaluation have been supplemented in recent years with the requirement of basic skills and assessment testing by the regulations of the State Department of Education. On the whole, grade nine students have performed very well on the Basic Skills Tests. There were 258 ninth grade students who were tested. ~enty-eight scored below 70% in Reading, eleven of them were students who were receiving special needs services. ~ Twenty students scored below 70% in Mathematics, ten of whom were receiving services from special needs. Ail students who were below the standard were given special attention in reading and mathematics throughout the school year. Concerning the State's Educational Assessment Report, it is my view that our students should have performed better. It is also my belief that our curriculum and the assessment tests may not be that compatible in the sense that what our staff believes should be taught and what the tests measure. Nevertheless, our teachers must address the weaknesses indicated by these tests. It will be more interesting and valid to see the results after the next assessment testing cycle. I do know that there is considerable concern because we believe strongly that all the other indi- cators point toward a strong curriculum and an effective staff and school. College Board testing results are reported to the community each year in December. The Class of 1986's results were above National, New England and State median, including aptitude, achieve- ment and advanced placement tests. Considering the high percentage of our students who take these 52 tests, I believe the scores are quite good. Obviously, these results reflect the impact that the total curriculum and educational experience our students have had throughout their lives. It is significant that our students continue to be accepted by colleges in increasing numbers. The experiences our students have in college are excellent. There are many instances of students who receive advanced placement, have course requirements waived, and in general, adjust very well to ~the competition at the college level. Reports of graduates made directly to teachers and counselors, lalonq with grade reports forwarded to me from some colleges, indicate that our curriculum serves these students well. It would be appropriate and more significant if we conducted a formal survey through periodic follow-up studies of our graduates. Special Education During the 1986-87 school year, the Special Education Department serviced over four hundred children with special needs, aged three to twenty-two years. In addition, the Department provided screenings for three and four-year olds and children entering kindergarten to assist in the early identification of children who may have special learning needs prior to the start of their schooling. The Special Education Department provides services in all of its schools, which range from monitoring of progress in regular classrooms and consultation to teachers to direct services to children with mild and moderate disabilities. Children with low incidence disabilities or with more substantial learning needs may be serviced in out-of-district programs. As a participating member of the Greater Lawrence Educational Collaborative, North Andover is able to access a wider range of special education programs within surrounding con~unities. Supportive services, such as occupational therapy, physical therapy, speech and language, and adaptive physical education, are examples of additional services available through the Special Education Department. George L Blaisdell Superintendent of Schools 53 ~ibrary Program Elementary The major improvement to the elementary library program has been the staffing of a full-tim~ elementary librarian for the first time since Proposition 2-1/2. Formal teaching of library skills at the 4th and 5th grade level has been expanded from once a month to every two weeks. A formalized curriculum was also developed. Enrichment programs to promote books and reading have been provided. To celebrate National Children's Book Week in November, Ms. Holmes ended opening exercises each morning over the inter- com at Atkinson with a 5-minute read-aloud selection, complete with a student commercial, for his or her favorite book. At Franklin, she invited a different grade each day to feed their minds a "book lunch" of stories and book talks after their food lunch. To enliven January and February, she celebrated Chinese New Year with "book lunches" at Atkinson and Franklin, consisting of oriental folktales, an explanation of the holiday, and some Chinese culture, the creation of an origami rabbit because it is the Year of the Rabbit, and fortune cookies, compliments of the Jasmine Restaurant and the Hoy Toy Noodle Company. School Library Media Month was noted in April with Guest Reader appearances in all the elementary school libraries. While improved in staffing, the elementary libraries did not gain in terms of space and faci lities. The Bradstreet library remained in its cubbyhole, too small to hold an entire class. Thomson, while newly painted, could still only be used as a library two days a week because of its use by others. In summary, the elementary libraries have seen an improvement in professional library staff and services~this year, but not in facilities and their accessibility and not enough in mate- rials. The overall trend, however, is towards creating better libraries; and with the addition of another professional next fall, the elementary library program can take a major step forward. Middle School The two major goals of the 1986-87 school year were: 1. TO continue to lure students and teachers back to the library. 2. To teach research, reference, and library skills to seventh and eighth graders, as well as sixth. These goals were not mutually exclusive by any means~ and, in fact, bringing students and their teachers in and requesting the teachers' assistance with some of the reference work helped convince both students and teachers that the library is a comfortable and worthwhile place to be. Teaching classes at all grade levels was probably the single most effective method of en- couraging the school population to come in on their own, and this 1986-87 school year was the first time the library was used most every period of the day. students can come to the library regularly during study hall, to do research or read books and magazines, or do homework. Usage is obviously heavier during times of class research proj- ects, but we now h~ve ~ "regular clientele" who like to spend their study hall time in the library. Sixth grade ~tudents again participated in the Massachusetts Book Award Contest. Toward the beginning of the year, Mrs. Spencer introduced all the books which had been nominated; those students who had read four or more by March took part in the voting for this year's winner. 54 She also worked with teachers in ways librarians always do: Providing bibliographies, either that she made up for a specific purpose, or that were published by an outside source and would be helpful to teachers, such as the Boston Globe's "Classics," or Brookline's reading list. She worked with teachers regularly on classroom projects, put books on reserve, taught reference mate- rial appropriate to the unit being studied, etc. High School We have completed our second year as an integrated department (library and audio-visual), and the transition seems to be complete. The day-to-day functions of the I.M.C. ran smoother this year since procedures and policies are firmly in place and staff and students have acclimated to them. Even responses to overdue notices have improved dramatically. The theft rate also saw a dramatic drop from 280 last year (improved greatly from previous years due to the security sys- tem) to 114 this year. Attendance/Use: Library attendance remains high. Many more classes are using the library than last yea~ while the number of students on individual passes has decreased, resulting in an improved study atmosphere more conducive to quiet study and research. Library Instruction: The freshman orientation and research/reference program, which was instituted last year with the cooperation of the English and Social Studies departments, continued this year. Both departments are pleased with the results. Student Aides: Despite some turnover, we continue to be delighted with the dedication and performance of our student aides. We have expanded the program this year to include training in audio-visual equipment and some production. Three of our sophomore aides were inducted into the National Honor Society this year--so we are getting a highly motivated group of students. Audio Visual: The addition of two microfiche readers has been a real boon to student research. Also, staff is pleased with the quality of the new equipment that was added this year. We continue to do a good business in off-air video taping for classroom use. We have made great strides in converting from BETA to VHS in terms of our video tape collection. Ail new tapes are VHS. Much time was devoted to the self-evaluation process for accreditation. It was a good oppor- tunity for input from faculty, co~unity librarians and students, w-hich we found most helpful. Technolo~]f Elementar~ Computers were integrated into the mathematics curriculum in grades 4 and 5. Each child in the school system in these grades had approximately 25-30 minutes of individual computer time weekly on the Apple IIe computers. (See enclosed Student Computer Attitude Survey results.) Grades 2 and 3 conducted exploratory uses of computer software using mobile computer units in the classrooms. Software was provided as requested in the four elementary schools. Selected classes in grade 5 at the Franklin School piloted the highly acclaimed Voyage of the Mimi science, math, social studies series. Two teachers attended a week-long seminar to prepare for the pilot program. Special Education software was acquired and computers provided for its use within the depart- ment. Seminars in word processing were provided for librarians and library aides, as well as Chapter I teachers and aides, during the school year. Middle School A government grant was attained for Excellence in Writing for grades 6-8. Seven teachers were involved in the grant, which is expected to continue through 1987-88. Seven teachers participated for one week, after the close of school, in a program to create and revise writing modules, as well as plan the integration of software modules into the English 55 curriculum. One grade 5 teacher and one high school teacher attended the seminar on various days. The grant was one of thirty national awards given out around tho country. A completely networked computer lab was assembled in the summer of 1986. The lab services grades 6-8 in reading, writing, mathematics, language arts and problem-solving activities. The Special Education department was wired to tie into the corvus hard disk lab. Students from this area also had the opportunity to use the teacher-managed software as dictated by Indivi- dual Educational Plans (I.E.P.). A writing conference was held at the Middle School with 37 invited guests from ten different school districts participating. The conference was the first of its kind in Massachusetts. The Voyage of the Mimi was piloted in grade 7 with five staff members of one team participating The months of May and Juno were devoted to this project, integrating mathematics, science, language arts (writing), home economics, industrial arts, and reading. Mr. Leo Axtin assisted in repair work of computer hardware. Mr. Axtin's position designated that 1/4th of the school day would be devoted to such maintenance work. High School A hard disk with software on college selection was installed in the guidance department software). The oorvn~ lab was widely used by all departments on a sign up basis. The Cogito computer system, after being purchased, was used in-house to generate our own report cards and student schodules. Laser technology was explored and courseware purchased for the science department, to be implemented in 1987-88. A CAD-CAM softwaro was purchased to be piloted next year (87-88) in the industrial arts classes (drafting and designing). Courses in Basic I, Basic II, and Pascal wore taught at the high school through the mathematics department. The business department conducted classes in word processing and advanced business courses using Apple computors and the A.T.&T. mini-computers. Systemwide An in-service seminar (12-week) course was provided under a State grant to teach administrators teachers, and aides the software called Appleworks. Twenty-eight participants took tho course thro0gh Salem State College. The course was taught by a high school faculty member. The original three-year computer technology plan {1984-87) was analyzed, revised, edited, updated and prepared for dissemination. All schools were provided with an up-to-date computer software catalog, listing all the soft- ware currently in the school system. This software can be requested by any teacher for use in classes, K 12. Much progress was mado in computerizing the athletic department, food services (H.S.), and administrative offices at each school. Physical Education, health, aha Athletics Co-educational Physical Education Program Grades K-12 had ten rogular full-time instructors: · Three instructors, Mrs. Parent, Mr. Pritchard, and Mr. Forgione, had approximately two-thirds of their teaching load in elementary physical education in grades 1-5, and one-third in teaching health education in grades 4 and 5. 56 · Mr. Dan Desmond, Jr., had one-half of his classes in elementary physical education; the other half of his schedule was adapted P.E. on the three levels. · Mrs. Bavendam taught physical education (no H.E.) at the Middle School. · Brian McNally taught two-thirds P.E. and one-third H.E.; Rick Lombard taught one-third P.E. and two-thirds H.E. at the middle school. · P.E./~ealth teachers taught P.E. twice a week in grades 1-5. · Mr. Desmond was assigned to the Bradstreet School, one day each week, to teach kindergarten classes that were scheduled every other week. · The high school staff, Mr. Cavanaugh, Mr. McDonald, and Mrs. Hibbard, in addition to teaching P.E., taught Health Ed. for sophomores for two ranking periods; i.e., twice a week for one-half a school year. · Note: Mrs. Hibbard was on a leave of absence from 1/4/86 to 1/5/87. Ail Middle School physical education students (6-8) met twice a week. Ail freshmen took physical education two periods a week all year. Ail juniors and seniors had a half year of physical education; seniors the first half of the year, and juniors, the second half of the year. Sophomores took physical education three times a week for one semester. During the semester that they were taking the required health education course, they took physical education once a week. The high school physical education curriculum guide bus been updated/revised for the ten- year evaluation committee scheduled for the Fall of 1987. A cumulative testing program (AAHPER) is in full implementation for grades 3-12; and in grades K-2, students are administered a standard perceptual-motor test. Field days were conducted on the three levels. Over twenty boys and girls, K-12, are participating in the adaptive physical education program~ Thirty elementary students participated with urea schools in a Physical Education Field Day at the ~a~e School in Lawrence that was sponsored by the Greater Lawrence Educational Collaborative. Also, seventy-two high school students participated at Andover High School in a round robin volley- ball tournament sponsored by the G.L.E.C. Health Education Program Primary classroom teuchers are teaching Health Education on a minimum of thirty minutes per week. Physical Education teachers have been teaching health education classes one period a week for a half-year for the 4th and 5th graders, and two periods a week for a half-year, for all 6th, 7th, 8th, and 10th graders. The health education curriculum guide includes the inclusion of health topics within a compre- hensive program extending grades K-8 and grade 10. Project Charlie was in full implementation for all students in the North Andover Public Schools, grades 1, 3, 5, and some areas in grades 6 and 7. Intramural Program Saturday Morning Basketball Program is offered to all boys and girls, grades 5-8, in the Town of North Andover. Over seventy-five (75) boys and thirty-five (35) girls participated in the program that was funded by the Co--unity Center. There were two directors who administered and supervised the eight-week program. 57 Athletic Program - 1986-87 ~por~ (Varsity) Boys Won Baseball 52 16 (Advanced to semi-finals, MIAA) Basketball 43 18 Cheerleading Cross-Country 25 4 Football 82 6 Field ~ockey Golf 13 11 Gymnastics Ice Hockey 34 7 Skiing 45 8 Soccer 61 14 Softball Swimming 10 1 Tennis 14 3 Track 38 3 Wrestling 22 14 Totals: 439 105 Lost 7 5 0 10 0 6 0 3 0 67 Tied 0 Girls Won Lost Tied 38 20 3 0 18 (2nd in CAL Competitior 15 4 7 0 57 2 16 3 (Div. 2 North Champs) 10 3 6 0 37 S 2 60 11 5 3 46 9 9 0 10 (First Year - Coed) 12 15 2 0 53 2 7 (Third in MIAA Sectionals.) 359 74 57 3 We had a total of 341 athletes who met the requirements to receive their letters, and subsequently, were honored at a seasonal banquet sponsored by Sportswaqon Foundation, Inc. (Fall - 137; Winter - 112; Spring - 92) Fine Arts The Fine Arts Department took part in programs, such as a secondary school choral festival made up of Greater Lawrence Communities h~ld at Lawrence High School, a similar elementary choral festival sponsored by the Greater Lawrence Regional Collaborative at the Tenney Middle School in Methuen, and an art exhibit representing elementary, middle and secondary school art work. This exhibit was displayed in each of the cities and towns in the Collaborative. Students at all levels took advantage of cultural programs sponsored by the Collaborative. During the past year student exhibits were set up in buildings throughout the system as well as in the Stevens Memorial Library. Two and three dimensional art work of twenty-five 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, llth, and 12th graders were submitted to the Scholastic Art Awards Exhibit at Montserat College of Art in Beverly. Permanent displays of 8th grade mural and painting projects were added to the walls, doors and cabinets of the Middle School art room. Permanent displays of painting projects were set up on walls throughout the Middle School. Business Services We continue to process our routes on the Apple III Computer in the Main Office, using a pur- chased program called Quick File. While this has been a great improvement over our original 58 ~ystem of file cards, it is not even close to present state of the art in computerized bus !outing. We attended two seminars on computerized bus routing. A parent who works for Lotus has attended both seminars and has been operating as an unpaid consultant° The seminars were offered by Roqer ~reighton Associates and Ecotran, Inc. The process of adopting a completely new system will be ixtensive and complicated° The budget amount should be about $35,000. This pays for an IBM T (or compatible) computer, prepared programs, and on-site consulting help to get underway. ,~e can assume that the first year will be about a full-time effort in a~opting and debugging to tailor the system to our specific needs. It is generally believed that the result will show econo- mies and efficiencies far superior to what we do now. Many parents are speaking of seat belts. We obtained a copy of a recent report from the National Highway Traffic Safety Commission. This government board does not recommend seat belts, and in fact, suggests that it is better not to have them in buses built subsequent to the 1977 redesign. We experienced five minor accidents during the 1986-87 school year. There were no injuries. · November 26, 1986. A bus which was reversing to turn around in the Atkinson School grounds backed into an automobile. We have since rerouted buses at the Atkinson, and they no longer have to back up. · December 10, 1986. Bus 5 was involved in an accident with a car at Mill Road and Turnpike. The driver was cited by the police and, as a result, was removed as a bus driver. · January 8, 1987o BUS 1 was involved in a collision with a car on Lacy ~treet. · April 14, 1987. Empty bus (#10) was in collision with a car at Sutton and Osgood. · April 28, 1987. Bus 4 was in collision with a car on Haymeadow. The total of five accidents in one year is unusually high. The most usual number is two. There has been only one accident (two years ago) in which injury occurred. Three children were treated and released from Lawrence General after a head-on crash on a earrow road. The driver of the car was found to be at fault. At that time, we developed a policy on what to do when an accident occurred. For the past two years we have had an unusually high number of field trips. Last year there were 117 trips, and the year before, there were 125 field trips. Prior to this, the average was 65 trips per year. Because of a shifting of school population, we find our bus needs varying. The upper grades are decreasing, and the lower grades increasing. It would seem that another bus might be necessary for elementary use next year. We plan to recommend this in the budget for 1988-89.

Therefore, we report on what happened in the buildings essentially one year ago. · A new oil burner was installed in the Franklin School. This was an air-atomizing burner installed to replace an obsolete rotary cup unit. With the completion of this project, six of seven oil burners have been replaced over the past five years. The Atkinson unit still remains to be done. · There were complaints during the previous year about air quality in the Middle School. We tested and found sulfur dioxide present. It was not present at a danger level, but it was definitely present at a discomfort level. We reported a year ago that a redesigned exhaust system would be installed over the summer of 1986 as a long-range solution to the problem. This was completed and air testing in November and January testified that the installation was successful. There were no detectable impurities present during either test. Several planned projects were postponed because this project cost $20,000 and had not been budgeted. · The Thomson School was painted completely. The entire interior was redone. One stairwell was tiled and treads were applied to the stairs. Plans are to do the second stairwell during the next year. · Thomson, Bradstreet, and Kittredge have battery-powered emergency lights. The batteries are not rechargeable0 Each battery costs $28 and wears out after only a few hours of power fail- ure. We have started a program of replacing all these lights with rechargeable units. · The library at the Middle S~hool was completely redone. Carpeting, painting, and new blinds were completed. · Both locker rooms were painted at the Middle School. This included floors and ceilings. New doors were installed in the boys' locker room. The walls of the Fieldhouse were painted. · A new football scoreboard was installed at the Hayes Stadium at minimal cost to ns. Pepsi-Cola paid for the board, and we paid for installation. · Ail lockers in the Middle School were replaced. This included student lockers, athletic lockers, and gym lockers. · The clock system was overhauled at the high school, and any broken clocks were replaced. Additionally, a new master clock was installed. · Many of the offices were moved during tke Summer of 1986. Superintendent's Office moved from the Atkinson School to the High School. Atkinson space was restored to classroom use. Special Needs Offices moved from Bradstreet to High School. Bradstreet space was restored to a classroom. Guidance relocated in the High School to a new suite of offices specially built for that purpose. Heating and ventilating was reworked ~o ensure uniform heat in all offices. · Two sides of the Thomson portable were re-sided. We find considerable rot in studding and joists when we do this work. During a meeting with the School Building Committee in December, we reported on this and suggested that a building program should include portable replacement. · The Public Works Department resurfaced the Franklin driveway. · The Custodial staff did a significant amount of painting on an overtime basis. Much paint- ing had been scheduled, and a great deal of work was accomplished. ~nergy Heating requirements are measured in degree days. If temperature for one day is taken every hour and averaged, the resulting number is subtracted from 65. FOr example, an average over 6O wenty-four hours of 60 would result in 5 degree days. We have records since 1974 and keep careful heck. Several times we have received calls from people who have been referred to us by Stevens ibrary for information on degree days. ~ Comparisons are made to a thirty-year average to get a relative handle on how severe a winter as been. The thirty-year average is 5593. We list six years (July 1 to June 30). Year Degree Day~ Variation from 30-Year Average 1986-87 5929 +6.0% 1985-86 5579 -0.8% 1984-85 5546 -1.13% 1983-84 5781 +2.85% 1982-83 5121 -8.81% 1981-82 6024 +7.17% Note that 1982-83 was about 9% warmer than average and that 1981-82 was 7% colder than average. ~e had a 16% swing in one year. Also, last year was 6% colder than average. I think that this is reflected in consumption. It is this uncertainty which makes the budgeting of energy cost ]ifficult. We have an additional variable in a floating cash price. These two variables combine :o render the prediction of energy costs an inexact science at best. We show a listing of oil consumption since 1976-77.

Food Service 1986-87 marked the third full year of operation with Richard Poutenis as Food Service Director. The financial situation seems to have stabilized during the past year. Mr. Poutenis took over an operation which was showing a loss and built it back to a solid profit situation.

Our price of 75¢ is the lowest in the area and has not changed since 1980. Because of minimal labor costs and food costs, the cash balance should start showing a decline. Mr. Poutenis has shown great creativity in maximizing income.

Such district or districts may only be created in existing Residence 2 (R-2) zones upon approval at Town Meeting; shall include a nursing care facility and congregate housing units; and may include independent dwelling units and assisted living units. 2. Purpose The purpose of the CCD is to provide for the development and use of specialized housing and nursing care for the elderly in existing R-2 Districts with greater flexibility from the pattern otherwise permitted in such districts. It is intended to create 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 and housing that causes relatively little demand on Town services; to generate increased tax revenue for the Town; and to preserve the Town's residential character. Finally, in creating an alternative for the elderly to existing nursing and housing possibilities, the CCD is intended to allow for a greater mixture of buildings, structures and uses with regard to density than is otherwise permitted in such districts, 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 and residential properties. 3. Definitions a. Nursing Care Facility. A facility for the care of elderly persons requiring regular attention by medical or nursing personnel for reasons of age, ill health or physical incapacity and which has been licensed as a long-term care facility by the' Massachusetts Department of Public Health. 149 b.
