BOARD OF SELECTMEN
Progress toward an improved fiscal position for the Town was realized.
The Budget Advisory Group consisting cf the Board of Selectmen, Advisory
Board, and School Committee allowed planning for the financial needs of the
community to be addressed and action plans to achieve them implemented.
The untimely passing of State Representative Joseph N. Hermann was a
loss to the Town and to the citizens that he had served so well for many
years. His spirit and dedication will live on in the programs and lives that
he touched. The Joseph N. Hermann memorial Committee was established to find
suitable tribute to remember Joe.
A Special Election was called to fill the unexpired term of
Joe Hermann. The primary election saw candidates Mark DiSalvo as the
Democratic choice and Donna Fournier Cuomo on the Recublican side. The
September 1994, 1993, election saw Donna elected the Representative from the
14th Essex District.
The appointment of a Youth Center Committee was the first step in
realizing the dream of having a place and programs tor the youth of
North Andover. The End of Summer Family Picnic was enjoyed by all and the
start of a great tradition. The Water Treatment Plant Control Room was
dedicated in memory of Louis Godin. The athletic field cn Dale Street wao
also named in memory of LPC Sean Gallagher.
The Special Town Meeting called August 18, 1993, increased
appropriations voted for the new school at the Calzetta Farm site. The
proviso to require the Greater Lawrence Sanitary District to comply with all
North Andover Zoning 3y -Laws and changing membership from one to two members
also passed.
Groundbreaking saw the Stevens Memorial Library Addition and the new
school at the Calzetta Farm Site move from merely plans and visions to
reality. The fruits of thousands of volunteer and committee hours struggling
with plans and financial issues will now be rewarded.
The American Disabilities Act Committee was reactivated with quarterly
reports cn progress to be made to the Town. Their input and guidance w111
help bring awareness and responsiveness to the community.
Laurie Machado joined the Town as the Town Accountant replacing ,Jean
Sullivan. The program of streamlining the permit proccss was initiated with
the inception of Anne Marie Tucciarone as Permit Manager. Kathleen Bradley
Colwell was appointed as Town Planner.
Generous private contributions for a Home Safety Trailer, a Community
Policing Van from Borden Chemical, and Giant Glass donation of Community
Policing bicycles showed the true spirit business and community share.
The new Board of Selectmen alignment after the March Town Election saw
Ken Crouch elected Chair until June 30, 1994. John R. Leeman, Jr. was
elected as a new Board member and Donald B. Stewart was re-elected to his
seat. The election saw the departure of Marty Larson whose dedication to the
Board both as member and Chair are without equal. Her active participation
in town activities and commitment to serve in other capacities will continue
to serve the Town well.
The desire to enhance and brighten our image was enriched by the
appointment of the "Let's Get Growing Committee" and the Holiday Festival
Committee to bring beauty and spirit to the Town.
Thanks must go to Karen Robertson and Melissa Powers for their
assistance to the Board and to the public. Thanks also go to Town Manager
James Gordon for his expertise and financial guidance. It is the people of
the Town who continue through their support and patience to make
North Andover mainta1n the quality cf life we all enjoy and strive to
maintain.

FINANCE %-.-4 1.64
The Finance Committee, previously known as the Advisory Board, is a
nine -member group of individuals appointed by the Town Moderator, Throughout
the year, the Committee meets on a regular basis monitoring the existing
budget, collections, capital improvement projects, and other matters with a
financial impact on the Town. Beginning in December, we start the budget
review and evaluation for the upcoming fiscal year. We follow the School
Committee recommendations and requests, Division of Public Works, Police
Department, Fire Department, and general town management making our final
recommendations prior to Town Meeting. Below in a review of Fiscal Year
1994.
Revenue growth budgeted far Fiscal Year 1994 was 5.2%- higher than Fiscal
Year 1993. Revenues have continued to grow slightly due to an increase in
the construction of new homes. Projected revenues were estimated to be
$ 34,000,000. After a preliminary review of our Fiscal Year 1994 statements,
revenues collected were $ 33,900,000. Real estate and property receipts are
currently paid at 96%, while the collection of our water and sewer bills are
at approximately 83. In an effort to increase the cash flow in our budget,
1994 saw quarterly billing of water and sewer charges so that they are
received on a more timely manner. Our goal in Fiscal Year 1995 is to bring
in a major commitment every eight weeks. We are also working to reduce those
items currently in tax title (receivables that are long overdue). Overdue
taxes place a burden on the Town by becoming a liability in the calculation
of our fund balance. The fund balance - a measure of our financial health -
currently has a surplus of approximately $ 103,000. This amount has been
reduced over the past four years from in excess of $ 2,000,000.
Fiscal Year 1994 has also seen a material increase in our legal and
insurance expenses. Both of these seem to be a product of the times. These
items are currently being monitored, and we are looking for ways to help keep
these stable in the future.
The Division of Public Works has anticipated savings in their refuse
col:ections brought about by rescheduling and rerouting refuse trucks. This
reduction, along with the elimination of monthly recycling, helped to fund
our current curb -side recycling efforts. The potential exists for the Town
to realize some revenue from recycling of paper and plastic.
Fiscal Year 1994 saw the beginning of the Stevens Memorial Library
project. The library was expanded and fully renovated, to be enjoyed by the
entire Town. Our library is a great asset to the Town of North Andover and
is an example of how private donations from the Friends of the Stevens
Memorial Library, combined with Town funding, can create a project that
benefits the entire community. Community spirit behind the process was
phenomenal, and in Fiscal Year 1995, we plan to use the building to its
fullest capacity.
The Education Reform Act has continued to impact the budgeting process
within North Andover and other communities. As part of the act, the
community has to meet specific spending requirements. In Fiscal Year 1994,
the Town exceeded our net school spending, as required by the Commonwealth,
by approximately $ 100,000, and we have made a commitment to continually
address the mandates of education reform in future budget processes. The
School Department's budget increased in Fiscal Year 1994 by approximately
$ 1,400,000. This represents 50% of the Town's total budget. Fiscal
Year 1995 funding is in excess of the State's Foundation Budget by $ 300,000.
The Foundation Budget is the minimum amount Towns are required to spend on
education. Large portions of the budget increase will cover salary increases
per contracts, increasing special education costs, and the cost of inflation
on running the department keeping the existing standard.
Fiscal Year 1994 started construction of the Annie Sargent School.
Currently, the project is on time and the school will open in
September, 1995. At that time, final budget numbers will be realized.
North Andover had been on a waiting list to receive reimbursement from the
state. Notification has been received, and reimbursements will begin in
July, 1995, We will be receiving 63% reimbursement for our total project
cost, including interest.
1995 Budaet - May. 1994. Annual Town Meetina
The Board of Selectmen and the School Committee working together agreed
upon the budget that was presented at Town Meeting. Revenues are expected to
be approximately $ 35,200,000, an increase of $ 1,400,000 from Fiscal
Year 1994. This growth was reduced to $ 256,000 after covering non -
discretionary expenses. Our current debt service cost is at the acceptable
level of approximately 10% of our total budget. Currently, we are funding
$ 683,100 of Capital Improvement items through raised and appropriated
revenue. Major items in the Fiscal Year capital Improvements Plan included
School Department technology, design fees for the Future 21 Room, much-needed
addition at the Middle School, and part of Phase III of the sewer plan.

ASSESSORS' DEPARTMENT
Fiscal Year 1994 was the third full year of the operation of our "in-
house" Computer Assisted Mass. Appraisal and Property Inventory System.
Fiscal Year 1994 also saw a continued decline in the number of abatement
applications filed with the Board of Assessors. Mr. Daniel Leonard, a former
staff counsel with the Appellate Tax Board, was appointed to the Board of
Assessors to replace Joseph N. Hermann, who died on May 20, 1993.
In 1994, Christopher Bova left the Methuen Assessor's Office to join our
staff and replace Michael Gagnon who left to pursue other interests. In
Fiscal Year 1994, we began preparations for the second revaluation on the
Town's "in-house" CAMA System. I would like to take this opportunity to
thank my staff for all the effort and dedication which they applied, and
continue to apply, both to this effort and to their regular duties.

Division of
Planning and Community Development
The Division of Planning and Community Development includes the land use
permitting departments of Appeals, Building, Conservation, Health, and
Planning and has grown to include the following Community Services: the
Council on Aging, Historical Commission, Recreation Department, Stevens
Memorial Library, Youth Services, Veterans' Services, as well as the Animal
Inspector. Within each of those offices is staff responsible for assisting
the public regarding land use and development issues. In addition, these
departments are required to enforce state and local regulations as they
relate to their area of expertise. The Division's departments work closely
with appointed Boards and Commissions. The Planning Board, the Conservation
Commission, and the Board of Health hold at least two public meetings per
month, and the Zoning Board of Appeals meets once per month. These meetings
are regularly posted in Town Hall, and the public is encouraged to attend and
participate in discussions.
In addition to working with regulatory boards, the Division staff also
applies for state and federal grants. In the past year, the Division of
Planning and Community Development prepared and submitted a grant application
to the Massachusetts Executive Office of Communities and Development (E0CD)
for the purpose of funding the position of Permits Manager. The Town was
successful to secure a grant funding the Permits Manager position, as part of
the permit streamlining process.
Ms. Anne Marie Tucciarone was appointed to the position of Permits
Manager in March, 1994. In the short time as Permits Managei, Ms. Tucciarone
has assisted applicants in the development process and discussed procedures
and information requirements. Twelve Mission Statements authored by :he
Permit Streamlining Committee in 1993 were submitted to the Board of
Selectmen, and thus far seven have been accepted. M. Tucciarone has also
been assisting staff in researching grants from both state and federal
agencies for additional equipment for the permit streamlining process. Ms.
Tucciarone has also provided streamlining information to other communities,
as they are also interested in the streamlining process.

ANIMAL INSPECTOR
During the past fiscal year, I have inspected the animal and stabling
conditions on the two remaining dairy farms, as well as two small bee farms.
I also visited the five large horse farms in North Andover to inspect the
animal and general conditions. Fifteen calls were made to inspect backyard
horses, sheep, goats, and chickens. Health certificates were issued to the
aforementioned farms and premises. Twenty-two dogs and cats were quarantined
as rabies suspects. Twelve samples of brain tissues were submitted to the
rabies lab for fluorescent antibody analysis, and two raccoons were positive
for rabies.
The Rabies Clinic, which is held every year at the Old Center Fire
Station on the second Saturday in May from 9:00 AM - 11:00 AM, resulted in 40
dogs and cats being vaccinated.
Respectfully submitted,
Robert E. Atwood, D.M.
BOARD OF APPEALS
The Board of Appeals held 12 regular meetings and one special meeting.
The Board held hearings on 9 Special Permits, 59 Variances, and 3 Parties
Aggrieved.
This year the Board regretfully accepted the resignation of
Frank Serio, Jr., as a member and the Chairman of the Zoning Board of Appeals
effective June 15, 1994. Frank Serio was a member of this Board for
22 years. He will be greatly missed, and we wish him much happiness and
success. The Board of Appeals holds its regular meetings on the second

CONSERVATION COMIISS I ON
The Conservation Commission is comprised of seven volunteer members who
are appointed by the Board of Selectmen for three-year terms. The
Conservation Office is staffed by an administrator, environmental agent, and
a secretary to provide information and assistance to residents regarding the
Town's natural resources.
The Conservation Commission administers the Massachusetts Wetlands
Protection Act and the North Andover Wetlands Protection Bylaw. These state
12
and local regulations help protect valuable natural resources including
lakes, rivers, ponds, marshes, bogs, wet meadows, swamps, and lands subject
to flooding. These wetlands are known to play an important role in the
following public health and safety interests:
• Protection of Public and Private Water Supplies
* Protection of Ground Water Supply
* Flood Control
* Storm Damage Prevention
* Prevention of Pollution
• Protection of Recreational Interests
* Protection of Fisheries
* Protection of Wildlife and Wildlife Habitat
Any construction or alteration of land (permanent structure, addition,
roadway, driveway, etc.) planned within 100 feet of any wetland resource area
in North Andover requires a permit from the Conservation Commission. Public
meetings are held twice a month for the purpose of reviewing projects and
holding public hearings. In Fiscal Year 1994, the Conservation Commission
held 23 meetings and 137 public hearings. Sixty-nine Notices of Intent and
41 Requests for Determination were filed. Also, 62 Orders of Conditions were
issued. The Conservation Office continues to monitor many of the projects
that came under review over the past several years. In Fiscal Year 1994, the
Conservation Office:
Worked in conjunction with the Board of Health and Division of Public
Works to address Lake Cochichewick Watershed Protection issues.
Recruited members of the Watershed Watch, a group of citizen volunteers
who assisted officials in locating sources of potential contamination to
Lake Cochichewick.
Continued a weekly program to monitor chemical and biological
contaminant levels in the streams that feed Lake Cochichewick.
Laboratory tests were performed by the Environmental Agent and staff of
the Water Treatment Plant.
Continued implementation of the Mazurenko Farm Conservation Area
Management Plan.
* Reinstalled beaver pipes and continued to monitor existing beaver ponds.
* Continued to provide opportunities for Eagle Scouts to complete public
service projects.
* Continued to maintain a database of all permits issued to facilitate
environmental monitoring.
Our efforts for the coming year will be focused on three areas of
responsibility: Wetlands Protection, Watershed Protection, and Open Space
Planning and Management. We will continue to work with the Merrimack River
Watershed Council and the Bay Circuit Alliance on various trails initiatives.
13
The Conservation Commission would like to take this opportunity to thank
Robert Leyland, Environmental Inspector, for the work he was able to do
within the Watershed Protection District. The Commission would also like to
thank Lois Bruinooge for her dedication, as an associate member.

BOARD OF HEALTH
The Board of Health is a three-member board comprised of volunteers
appointed by the Town Manager for three-year, overlapping terms.
Responsibilities include enforcement of the State Sanitary and Environmental
Codes, the reporting of diseases dangerous to the public health, and the
enforcement of other applicable state and local laws and regulations. These
regulations cover areas such as, housing, food safety, air and water quality,
sewage disposal, animal and insect control, lead poison control, occupational
safety and health, nuisances, communicable diseases and immunizations; in
short, all laws that relate to the safety, health and welfare of the general
public.

As can be expected with such a broad area of responsibility, the Board
of Health has had its usual busy year responding to complaints, performing
many types of inspections, and doing its best to protect the public health
and environment of North Andover. The annual Rabies Clinic, presided over by
Dr. Robert Atwood, was held in May at the Old Center Fire Station. The
annual influenza clinic for Senior Citizens was held this year in November
organized by Public Health Nurse, Virginia Foulds, with the able assistance
of 3 volunteer nurses, Glenda Stewart, Lizbeth Mount, and Marge Gerraughty.
The Board of Health gratefully thanks these volunteers for their help.
Susan Ford was hired in June as Environmental/Health Inspector to
replace Robert Leyland who moved out-of-state in February. The Board wishes
Bob luck and welcomes Susan.

HISTORICAL COMMISSION
Planning of the Town's 350th Anniversary to be celebrated in 1996 was
the Historical Commission's focus. As part of the celebration, the
Commission plans to build a gazebo on the Common, as a gift to commemorate
this historic event and for the enjoyment of future generations to come.
Also planned are a series of eight publications, each one highlighting a
historic event or structure from North Andover's past. The Commission raised
money by selling T-shirts, hats, post cards, canvas bags, and ceramic tiles.
Each item depicts a historic scene of North Andover. In 1995, the Commission
plans to devote its time fund-raising so that the projects will be a reality
for the grand celebration in 1996.

PLANNING ROARIZ
The Planning Board currently has a volunteer membership of five regular
members and one associate member, all of whom are appointed to a three-year
term by the Town Manager. In general, the Planning Board holds regularly
scheduled hearings on the first and third Tuesday of each month.
The Planning Department, which acts as support to the Planning Board, is
currently staffed with one full-time planner and relies upon secretarial
support through the Office of the Director of Planning and Community
Development.
The duties of the Planning Board include review and approval of
residential, commercial, and industrial construction. At the public
hearings, the Board reviews site design, environmental impacts, traffic and
vehicular circulation, and compliance with regulations of the North Andover
Zoning Bylaw among other issues.
As dictated by both the Massachusetts General Laws and the North Andover
Zoning Bylaw, the Planning Board reviews four different types of permit
applications. These permit applications are as follows:
1. Approval Not Reauired: These applications concern the division of an
existing property on an established roadway or adjustment of an existing
lot line. These lots are reviewed for conformance with frontage and
area requirements of the Zoning Bylaw.
2. Subdivision of Land: A subdivision involves the creation of additional
lots through the subdivision of an existing property. This application
requires construction of a roadway in compliance with the Town's Rules
and Regulations Governing the Subdivision of Land.
3. Site Plan Review: Any Industrial or Commercial construction over 2,000
square feet, or that which may require the addition of five or more
parking spaces, requires site plan review. The site plan review process
reviews the site design, parking layout, landscaping, and storm water
drainage among other issues.
4. Special Permit: A special permit is the most discretionary permit the
Planning Board may grant. The special permits granted by the Planning
Board include construction in the Watershed Protection District, Planned
Residential Developments, and Common Driveways.
The following is an account of the applications received by Planning and
the number of projects approved from July, 1993, to June, 1994:
Approval Not Reauired Applications: 21 received, 21 approved.
Definitive Subdivision Applications: 7 received, 7 approved; and
5 received special permits for
Planned Residential Developments.

STEVENS MEMORIAL LIBRARY
To the Citizens of North Andover, Massachusetts
The Trustees of the Stevens Memorial Library herewith present their 86th
report, which is for the period of July 1, 1993, through June 30, 1994.
To the Trustees of Stevens Memorial Library:
I hereby submit the 86th report of the Director:

ILL'S - Inter -Library Loan. Materials we borrow from other
libraries. We also loaned 1162 items to other libraries.
The circulation total does not include exhibits, story hours,
programs, reference services, and other in-house use.
Fiscal Year 1994 was the 'start of a dream come true. After much
preparation, the building of a new expanded library has become a reality.
Castagna Construction of Newburyport was hired as the General Contractor.
Ground was broken on October 4, 1993, and in order to move construction along
faster, we moved out of the lower level of the existing building. The
Children's Room moved into the Rotunda on the main floor. Part of their
collection was stored at the Lawrence Savings Bank in Shawsheen, while
St. Paul's Church shared some of its space so that the children could
continue having programs.
Patrons and staff alike watch the building grow from inside, as well as
outside. The windows of the Reading Room became a beacon for our many
sidewalk superintendents. Through it all, the library endeavored to provide
20
uninterrupted service to its patrons. We werenrowdad and noisy but in spite
of the many inconveniences (dust, noise, water, etc.), most of you managed to
visit and were aided by our dedicated staff. We closed in June to move into
our new, lovely, airy addition. It was worth all the aggravation. we thank
everyone who helped to make this possible.
Also during this last year, READCOM (Renovation, Expansion, and
Development committee)' a fund-raising group of local citizens and library
trustees chaired by william Duffy, raised $ 500,000 in order to make the
building project a success. Thank you to all who worked so hard on our
behalf to raise this money. Our thanks, as well, to everyone (and there are
many) who contributed to this cause...YOUR LIBRARY.
Thanks also goes to the Building Committee, chaired by Art Larson, and
the architecto, contractors, project maoager, subs, and crews. Everyone no
this team was dedicated to producing the very best possible library. We hope
everyone feels the same, when we open. Opening day for the addition is
July 5, 1994. I hope it was worth the wait.
When you see one of our staff or volunteers, please let them know you
appreciated their smiling service and attention under some very tough
conditions. And thank you for putting up with us during our face lift. We
promise you better conditions during Fiscal Year 1995. We look forward to a
completion date of owcember, 1994.
Respectfully submitted.
Sue Ellen Holmes,
Director
During Fiscal Year 1994, the Stevens memorial Library Board of Trustees
continued to guide the investment and expenditure of endowed funds. At the
same time, they participated in private fund-raising efforts and oversaw the
building of the expanded library. many thanks to all who made our fund-
raising a success. To the ntaft, congratulations on a job well done.

General Court creating a Massachusetts Veterans' Services Department and
called for the establishment in every city, town, or district a Department of

Public Safety
NORTH ANDOVER EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY
The last reporting period has been relatively quiet. We participated in
several. FEMA statewide functional exercises designed to exercise Civil
Defense staffing of the Emergency Operating Center (E0C), requiring us to
react to various scenarios that exercised our communications and call -out
capability. Also, we have been on several flood alerts this spring but
fortunately no real emergencies.
Cur Local Emergency Planning Committee, under the chairmanship of Fire
Chief William V. Dolan, conducted a tabletop hazardous material spill during
October, 1994. This exercise was in the planning stage from early
February, 1994, with much effort expended by the Committee. The exercise was
successful and was monitored by members of Massachusetts Emergency Management
Agency (MEMA). This tabletop exercise utilized the Comprehensive Emergency
Management Plan (CEM F; for cailout. The Red Cross, the media, local
ambulance services, and other members of the community participated with no
resources actually expended. A critique of this exercise showed that all
participants responded and supported it in a very professional way. We
continue to attend monthly Emergency Management Director's meetings at MEMA
Area -1 Headquarters.
We maintain our eligibility to receive federal matching funds for 50t of
our Civil Defense salaries and all administrative expenses under FEMA, There
are several surplus programs coming open due to base closures in the United
States. To date we have not received any property under this program,
although we have submitted a list of equipment required by the Town.
We continue to exercise our communications equipment on a weekly basis.
We have experienced problems with our repeater, particularly the phone patch
capability, and have adopted a "band-aid" approach for maintenance and
repairs due to the austere budget limitations. The repeater is in need of
maintenance and some components need to be replaced. Also due to budget
limitations, we have been unable to update some of our communications
equipment to meet MEMA requirements. However, until our budget is able to
support these repairs, we will have to make do. Our repeater is still
located on Boston Hill thanks to the generosity of Mr. Benjamin Farnum.
The RACES personnel continue to exercise our communications capability
weekly. The RACES group consists of: Mr. Joseph Sullivan, Jr.,
Communications Officer; William Sherlock; Douglas Wilson; Leonard Somers;
Gerald Hower.; and Davis Upton. Mr. Sullivan offers an annual training course
for anyone interested in obtaining a Radio Amateur Novice License.
Arrangements to attend this course can be made by contacting either
Mr. Sullivan or the undersigned.
26
Our Auxiliary Police force, under the professional direction of
Mr. Richard Boettcher, continues their support of the regular Police force.
They continue the conduct of a vandalism patrol of all Town playgrounds,
schools, and properties. Police Chief Stanley remains a staunch supporter of
our Auxiliary Police cadre. This year he has made one of his cruisers, which
was due for turn -in, available tc the Auxiliary Police to replace the aging
vehicle currently in use. We extend our thanks to Chief Stanley for his
continued support. The following are current members of the Auxiliary Police
organization: Sgt. Richard Boettcher, Executive Officer;
Patrolmen James P. Roche, Ryan Roche, C. Susan Northam, Raymond McLean
Gregory ?hair, and Michael Pickles.
We are happy to report that Patrolmen Jay S. Staude and Stephen Tahan
have been appointed. Reserve Officers on the regular Police force. Both RACES
and Auxiliary Police personnel contribute thousands of hours of voluntary
service annually to our community.
Students are urged to utilize our expertise regarding earthquakes and
natural disasters for school projects. We are available and will provide
literature or guidance to assist in any projects. We continue to selectively
recruit for volunteers to serve as Emergency Management Staff Officers,
Communications Personnel (amateur radio license must be held), and Auxiliary
Police (must be 21 years of age and pass a background investigation by cur
local Police Department). All Town residents are eligible regardless of
race, sex, or creed. The undersigned may be contacted by interested parties.
We are grateful to all members of our Town boards and departments for
their support. The Police, Fire, and Public Works Departments always come
through for us in supporting emergencies and MEMA exercises. Our thanks to
Town Manager James Gordon; the Honorable Board of Selectmen; the Advisory
Board; all department heads and staff; the dispatchers and EMT's;
Mr. Jeffrey Coco, Senior Staff Officer; and the Emergency Management staff.
Also, Mr. Joseph Sullivan and the RACES Communications personnel for their
rapid response as required and Sgt. Richard Boettcher and the Auxiliary
Police for their dedication and high standards. As usual, last but not
least, Mr. John J. Lyons, who has supported me throughout my 23 years tenure.
Respectfully submitted,
John J. Coco, Director
North Andover Emergency Management Agency

FIRE DEPARTMENT
The most severe fire of the year in North Andover occurred on
August 6, 1994. The Department responded to a fire in a single-family
dwelling at 27 Thorndike Street. The fire had advanced undetected and
unimpeded prior to the arrival of the Fire Department. Lt. Edward Morgan
assumed command of the incident. Through effective fire strategy and
diligence of the Town and mutual aid fire companies, the fire did not extend
to adjacent dwellings. The Phaneuf's home was destroyed but through their
courage and community support, they are living in a new residence in Town.
The Department continued to provide mutual aid to many of the fires in
Lawrence. North Andover firefighters, as well as other area firefighters,
responded directly to the fire scenes and worked together to extinguish these
fires. During this time, there were no injuries to any North Andover
firefighters and no damage to any Town owned equipment. As a change in
policy, the Department will not dispatch our only ladder truck unless a
severe life safety hazard exists.
During Fiscal Year 1994, the Fire Department experienced some changes in
personnel due to the transfers of two firefighters. Firefighter Hector
Santiago transferred to Lawrence and Firefighter Richard Brown transferred to
Braintree. These transfers resulted in a period of temporary personnel
assignments to the Department with the hiring of firefighters who had been
laid off in other communities. Firefighters Henry Lozada and Gene LeFerriere
from Lowell both worked briefly in Town before being rehired in Lowell.
The permanent replacements for these two firefighters and for
Firefighter Raymond MacLean who retired on June 19, 1994, after 30 years of
service are; Firefighters Michael Foss, Scott Nussbaum, Robert Kilcoyne and
Michael Beirne who were hired and will be certified Emergency Medical
Technicians in addition to their duties, as firefighters. The Department is
without the services of four firefighters and the Deputy Chief position,
which were lost in budget cuts in Fiscal Year 1991.
During Fiscal Year 1994, the Department witnessed the passing of two
former members, Firefighter Bob Houde and Deputy Chief Calvin Snell. The
Department was honored to rededicate Station 2 on Johnson Street in memory of
Fire Lieutenant Donald B. Foss, who died in the line of duty February, 1963.
Firefighter Michael Foss, his mother, and other family members participated
in the rededication service for his father on June 12.
The Department did not have any capital budget items in Fiscal Year
1994, but we thank the community for its continued support both financially
and otherwise, During Fiscal Year 1994, the Department conducted random
surveys each month to those who used any of our services. The surveys asked
them to rate us and the surveys were returned expressing an appreciation for
the concern and care our people demonstrated to those in need. We will
strive to continue that attitude in serving you.
Respectfully submitted.
William V. Dolan, Fire Chief

POLICE DEPARTMENT
Two years ago this Department reported that "Community Partnership" are
the words that best describe police operations. True to those words, 1994
has been a continued effort to make Community Partnership meaningful words.
In that effort, establishment of the North Andover Police Citizen's Advisory
Council has finally become a reality after a year of internal planning. This
council is established with the Idea that bilateral communication will take
place between the Police Department and residents. I truly believe that the
Citizen's Advisory Council will have nothing but positive effects for
everyone.
Two other significant community programs that will mature over the next
coming year will be the establishment of a Citizen's Police Academy and a
Student 2c:ice Academy. Inspector Brian Lawlor will he leading the Citizen's
Police Academy project, and Inspector Charles DiChiara will be leading the
Student Police Academy project. Both programs are designed to give residents
an indepth lock at police operations that will be helpful to those
contemplating a police career or for those having a strong desire to
understand the complex relationship between police and community and wish to
help strengthen the bonds between the twc in a nositive manner.
Once again this Department has been awarded the American Automobile
Association's Award of Excellence for Pedestrian Protection Programs. Safety
Officer Thomas Driscoll has worked diligently within the community to insure
resident safety, devoting a tremendous amount of time to school safety.
Officer Driscoll was also instrumental in working with ABC Bus Company to
establish School Bus Driver Operations Procedures, which included a driver
identification system so that parents know whom their children are getting cn
the schocl bus with. Through cooperation with the School Department,
Officer Driscoll has started teaching traffic safety at the High School
Driver Education Course.
By successfully competing for state grants, our D.A.R.E. Officer,
Tracy Castiglione, has managed to once again expand a very successful program
into more grades, The D.A.R.E. Fair has become an annual event that has
grown considerably.
In an effort to educate servers of alcohol, as to the negative effects
of over service or improper service of alcohol, Lieutenant Glenn Annson and
the Board of Selectmen joined to make server training for all liquor license
holders mandatory. In general, the cooperation and positive response from
our liquor license holders was overwhelming and should be applauded. This
stands as a shining example cf police, elected officials, and community
working together to impact root causes of public concern.
This Department continues to attack the problem of illegally registered
motor vehicles. Lieutenant Maurice Lynch and Sergeant T. J. McEvoy have had
many successes in this area and will continue to work on this issue through
the coming year. The Department is also continuing its bicycle helmet sale
program through Sergeant Fred Soucy, who is available during the day to take
30
orders or answer questions. Sergeant McEvoy has a car safety seat loan
program available for families or individuals who may need short-term use of
a car safety seat or who may be financially unable to purchase a car safety
seat.
One of the major impediments to police operations is a lack of manpower.
Currencly we are stetted at 33 full time officers. Our original allocation
was 39 officers, Statutcry reporting requirements and the expansion of
police operations necessitates a return to full staffing of 39 officers. To
assist the Town with the financial implications that 6 officers would place
on the budget. 11 have prepared and submitted preliminary paperwork requesting
funds from the Federal Crime Bill.
To attain the quality cf life within North Andover that all citizens
deserve, the Police Department needs the community's support, interaction and
mos: importantly individual involvement to keep our homes, property, streets
and recreational areas safe for our use, as well as for our children's use.
I urge all residents to become involved with their neighborhoods and their
Police Department and take advantage of the services that we have to offer.
Respectfully submitted,
Richard M. Stanley,
Chief of Police

Division of
Public Works
The following is a summary of activities Within the Division of Public
Works for the period of July 1, 1993, to June 30, 1994:
A new Curbside Recycling Program was put into effect starting
January 1, 1994. This program includes paper products; clear, green and
brown glass; aluminum and steel cans; and #2 plastic milk, juice and water
jugs. The program was started due to a state mandate which restricts the
Town from allowing these materials to be put in with the regular rubbish. A
grant from the state was applied for, and received, by North Andover for the
purchase of 6,500 recycling bins. These bins, as well as a schedule and
complete instructions, were distributed by the Division of Public Works to
all residents. The curbside pickup is done every other week by the Public
Works personnel with Town -owned recycling trucks. The program took some
getting used to, but it has been extremely successful. As of June, 1994,
over 4,500 bins were sold. This means that approximately 70% cf the
residents in North Andover are actively participating in the recycling
program. We will strive to make it as convenient as possible for every
resident to recycle, as many items as possible, in the years to come. This
curbside program was, and continues to be, done without any further additions
to the Public Works budget.
We continue to have the drop-off center at the Public Works Garage for
the three types of glass, #1 and #2 plastic, aluminum cans, tin cans, and
paper products. The hours for this drop-off are Monday through Friday
8:00 AM to 3:00 PM, and the 3rd Saturday of the month from 9:00 AM to
12:00 noon. The Saturday drop-off has been a success thanks to the
volunteers who participated in giving up a few hours on Saturdays to help
out.
Although we experienced yet another horrendous winter season, our
dedicated Public Works crew worked night and day so our streets could be kept
clear and safe for traffic throughout the winter. Our Public Works crews and
selected subcontractors did an outstanding job in keeping the cost for snow
removal to a minimum, approximately 1/2 to 1/5 of surrounding towns.
Water SUDD1V & Distribution
In the fall of 1993, the staff at the North Andover Drinking Water
Treatment Plant quickly designed and installed a new chemical feed system for
potassium permanganate to oxidize manganese in the raw lake water. This new
treatment process has proven successful in reducing aesthetic problems such
as, brown water and stained laundry, which consumers were experiencing.
The Drinking Water Plant again received the Fluoride Award from the
American Dental Society for maintaining excellent control ot the addition and
monitoring of this chemical, which combats tooth decay.
34
A dedication ceremony was held at the Drinking Water Treatment Plant
Control Room in honor and memory of Louis Godin. Mr. Godin was the
supervisor of the South Pump Station from 1933 to 1970. Family and friends
were in attendance. Tours of the Water Treatment Plant were provided
throughout the day, as well.
The Water Department personnel, along with the Health, Planning, and
Conservation Departments, developed a lake monitoring and protection program
to locate sources of pollution within the watershed, to curb the amount of
contamination that enters our water supply, and to prevent any further
problems.
In 1993 - 1994 the following was installed: 5,040 feet of twelve -inch,
15,793 feet of eight -inch, 658 feet of six-inch ductile iron pipe; 14 twelve -
inch, 44 eight -inch, 55 six-inch gate valves; and 47 fire hydrants. The
water main distribution system now consists of 131.57 miles of main pipe; 6
twelve -inch check valves; 4 twelve -inch altitude valves, 5 twenty-four inch
butterfly valves; 438 twelve -inch, 8 ten -inch, 679 eight -inch, 1,671 six-
inch, and 4 four -inch gate valves; with 1,157 public hydrants.

Installed in 1993-1994, either wholly or partially, were 147 water
services. 797 new meters were installed and 65 old meters were repaired.
23 fire hydrants broken off by cars were replaced, and 25 water main or
service leaks were repaired. All hydrants were inspected, repaired, and
painted, where necessary. The annual inspection of the gate valves and valve
boxes in the system were completed. The annual hydrant flushing of the
entire distribution system was completed in June. Fluoridation has been
completely maintained by the Public Works Department and levels monitored by
both ourselves and the State Department of Environmental Engineering.
A semi-annual inspection of backflow prevention devices and annual
inspection of 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 our cross -connection monitoring program.
Under Water Main Replacement Contract 93-1, JT & C Construction replaced
water mains on several streets, as part of the Town's ongoing water
distribution rehabilitation program. In addition, a significant amount of
water main extensions for private developments was overseen by the Division
of Public Works. Weston and Sampson Engineers, Inc. prepared plans and
specifications for water main replacements on Sargent Street, Cleveland
Street, Hodges Street, Belmont Street, May Street, Norman Road, Cabot Road,
Saltonstall Road, Young Road, Buckingham Road, Chapin Street, Dudley Street,
Lyman Road, Little Road, and Edmonds Road. Work is expected to be completed
during Fiscal Year 1995.

As Executive Director, I am pleased to submit, on behalf of the North
Andover Housing Authority's Board of Commissioners, and its Chairman,
William McEvoy, the Authority's 46th Annual Report for fiscal year ending
September 30, 1994. This report has been prepared in accordance with
Chapter 1218 of the General Laws of Massachusetts, which govern housing
authoriLies.
The Authority, because of the nature of its organization, has a dual
responsibility. It must address the housing needs of the low- and moderate -
income families of our Town in a manner which is beneficial to all residents
and neighborhoods, and it must administer its programs to achieve its overall
housing objectives in a fiscally responsible manner which is in the best
interest of our funding agencies.
During this past year, the Authority has provided low -rent subsidized
units for over 400 families. The Authority's low -rent units are distributed
in six elderly and two family developments, which consist of 269 elderly and
26 family units of housing.
In addition to our publicly -owned units, the Authority also administers
rental subsidy programs through the use of federal and state funds. These
programs are designed to provide a subsidy for housing to eligible low-income
families and elderly individuals. The goal of the program is to coordinate
both the private and public sector for the purpose of meeting the housing
needs of our community. It offers families in need of housing cr housing
assistance, a choice of residence among virtually every apartment that
aualifies within Housing Quality Standards and Fair Market Rent Guidelines.
44
These subsidy programs, once restricted to apartments in North Andover,
are now involved in federal "portability" where a Section 8 Certificate can
virtually go anywhere in the state, and a voucher that can go anywhere in the
United States. These programs have been fine tuned to address persons who
are homeless or "at risk" of being homeless due to involuntary displacement,
substandard housing, or paying 50% of their income for rent. There are
numerous "new" ranking, local, and residential preferences within each of the
three main categories scheduled for 1995.
The Authority received 25 Family Self -Sufficiency (FSS) vouchers this
year. This involves setting up a case management program to educate and
train participants with the objective of becoming self-sufficient and off of
public assistance. This appears to be the future of Section 8. All
certificates and vouchers awarded since 1993, and to be awarded in the
future, are FSS.
The Massachusetts Rental Voucher Program (MRVP) is still functioning,
but barely. A family must be under 200% of the federal poverty level for its
family size in order to participate. The waiting lists for MRVP have been
frozen for four years. Any vouchers that roll over are returned to the
state. It appears to be only a matter of time until this program no longer
exists.
All housing administered by the North Andover Housing Authority is
subject to the following income and asset limits:

45
The Authority has received some additional Federal modernization
funding (CIAP) for the second year in a row for repaving, fire alarm system
updating, etc. Some work will be undertaken this fall, but most not until
spring.
The Authority has completed deleading all of its family housing under
the state modernization program. There was only minor exterior work to be
done under this program for these units to be in full compliance.
The Authority has been notified that they have been awarded $ 1,858,000
to install hardwired fire alarm systems in all of its older state elderly and
family units, some heating system replacements, site improvements, and ADA
Accessibility compliance in its three older state elderly community
facilities. This is a phenomenal amount of money for a Town of our size.
Even though we did not get all the funding we requested, nor did all the
items funded have our first priority, we are very pleased.
Once again, the Housing Authority wishes to express its sincere
appreciation to the Town departments and the citizens of North Andover who
have supported and assisted the Authority in the development of our much
needed housing programs and in our continuous efforts to provide adequate
housing for the residents of North Andover. Special thanks to Chief Dolan
and his committee who have worked with the Authority to establish emergency
procedures in case of a disaster. And, a special thanks to the Authority
staff.

LOCAL ARTS COUNCIL
The first annual report of the Local Arts Council presents some
information about the Council and its functions. The Council is one of a
network of local cultural councils which serve nearly every city and town in
the state. During Fiscal Year 94, the Council has continued its support of
public programs and educational projects to benefit the community. This was
mainly accomplished through the allocation of funds distributed by the
Massachusetts Cultural Council (MCC), our central state agency.

SDPHRu%� `..n.11. OF SCHOOLS
As this report is being written, we are still basking in the wonderful
triumph of North Andover High School's football team. Not only did the
football Scarlet Knights have an undefeated season this past year, they also
went to the Class IV Super Bowl for the first time in our school's
experience, emerging victorious with a well-earned victory. It was both
rewarding and refreshing to see the community interest in and support of a
fine group of student athletes. Those students represented our school and
community with genuine distinction. They, and so many other students who
represent us both academically and athletically, give us many reasons to be
proud of them.
Our school system continues to grow, reflective of continuing
development in the community. A genuine high note was the groundbreaking
ceremony for the Annie L. Sargent School in December 1993. This long-awaited
facility is scheduled to open for the 1995 school year. It is a pleasure to
report to you that the project is on time and under budget, a credit to the
conscientious and thorough work of the School Building Committee chaired by
Mr. Louis Minicucci.
In June 1993, the legislature enacted the Education Reform Act, a far-
reaching and comprehensive set of requirements for school systems. Like
other school systems in the state, we spent a great deal of time learning
about the requirements of the law and beginning to meet its several
challenges. The goal of the Education Reform Act, which is to improve
student achievement, directly coincides with the curriculum development and
revision program in place in our system for many years. The increased
requirements for professional development will not present new business to
our faculty since they have been engaged in those efforts for some time.
The reports which follow reflect the work and progress of our schools
and programs:
Assistant Superintendent
Curriculum and Instruction
Curriculum development continues to accelerate in North Andover. The
Curriculum Steering Committee devoted a major portion of last summer to
finalizing a new curriculum plan. This latest Curriculum Master Plan is
designed to continue the work initiated in 1987. It provides for the
reactivation or, in some cases, the activation of eleven curriculum
development committees. Newly activated committees include: Physical
Education/Health; Library Media; Industrial Arts/Business; and
Interdisciplinary/Outcomes-Based Education Curriculum. The "following
committees are to be reactivated: Fine and Performing Arts; Guidance;
Mathematics; Language Arts; Social Studies; Science; and Foreign Language.
These eleven committees are chaired/co-chaired by twenty energetic educators:
Language Arts - Susan Miller, Joan Redman, Ed Rudd and Gerry Sanford;
49
Mathematics Committee - Ed Keisling; Fine and Performing Arts Committee -
Joel Groessel and Pat Maloney -Brown; Foreign Language Committee - Irene
McLaughlin; Social Studies Committee - John Minihan and Maureen Roberts;
Physical Education/Health Committee - Laurel Bavendam; Industrial
Arts/Business Committee - Tim Troy; Library/Media Committee - Meg -Holmes and
Ellyn Spencer; Interdisciplinary Committee - Jane Potsaid and Donna Loese;
Science Committee - Peter Kalafarski; Guidance Committee - Carole Cowie,
John DeFlumeri and Mark Powers.
Specifically, the Curriculum Master Plan charts a comprehensive five-
year plan of action for developing, piloting and implementing curriculum. As
the latest chapter of curriculum growth evolves in North Andover, the school
district can expect a strengthening of the traditional curriculum within each
discipline to occur. This will provide a strong foundation for examining and
incorporating more interdisciplinary instructional opportunities, and,
ultimately, for introducing outcome -based educational initiatives. These
approaches, originally developed at the district level, have a high
correlation with the Massachusetts Education Reform Act of 1993, the Common
Core of Learning and the United States National Education Goals for 2000.
There have been significant advances in curriculum and instruction for
North Andover as this ambitious five-year plan has been developed.
Curriculum, instruction and assessment are inextricably interrelated.
Assessment has remained in the focus at elementary, middle and high school
levels. There is an increase in exploring the use of authentic assessment
measures while analyzing the power they have for identifying a student's
strengths (when used in conjunction with other traditional forms of
assessment, such as standardized testing). Teachers are beginning to
carefully examine the role of report cards and their relationship with
curriculum. Teachers recognize the need to ensure that report cards reflect
the learning that occurs in the classroom. Across the district, teachers of
mathematics, science and language arts continue to analyze existing
assessment tools and make needed revisions. Teachers, particularly in the
mathematics and science domains, are further examining the role of
manipulatives in classroom instruction.
Literacy issues are important in North Andover, and this interest
complements the national goal (from "Goals 2000") that "all students will
begin school ready to learn." The pre-school and kindergarten teachers and
staff are committed to embracing the National Association of Education for
Young Children's (NAEYC) definition of emerging and early literacy and
fluency in reading. The recognition of reading and writing as reciprocal
processes continues to receive attention in the school district. In remedial
reading and English as a Second Language (ESL), teachers are committed to
examine alternatives for helping students most at risk in reading and
writing.
At the Middle School, two three-member teams at the seventh and eighth
grade made considerable strides with the Social Studies program. Their team
model required each instructor to teach social studies. In its second year
of operation, the S.T.A.R. (Students and Teachers Achieving Results) Program,
under the capable direction of Carol Rizzo, received extensive program
50
revision and has expanded to accommodate the wide range of diverse student
needs at the Middle School. Their after-school program has grown so quickly
that approximately one-third of the Middle School student population
regularly participates in one or more of the popular activities.
At the High School, a new interdisciplinary course entitled "American
Thought" was introduced and piloted to juniors. This ninety -minute course,
team -taught by Pat Maloney -Brown, John Strobel and Joel Groessel, provided
cross -curriculum opportunities in art, social studies and language arts for
31 talented students. Through the Merrimack Education Center, five high
school students participated in the popular (RMS)2 (Regional Electronic
Magnet School) program. Robert Bennett and Jeffrey Fuller successfully
coordinated this valuable initiative with thirteen other school districts
across the state. A state grant permitted Rick Lombard to successfully
implement a health curriculum for freshmen. The second year of the popular
Shakespeare in Residence Program continued at the High School. Under the
faithful direction of Janet DiGianni, this program permitted sophomores and
juniors to engage in a three-week residency that culminated in an exciting
production of "Hamlet."
The Guidance Department continues to examine test results (including the
Stanford Achievement Test (SAT), Massachusetts Educational Assessment Program
(mEAP), Scholastic Aptitude Test ;SAT)) across the district in conjunction
with other forms of objective testing.
Several curriculum initiatives received concentrated attention this past
year. They include district -wide efforts to promote inclusion and
collaboration, technology and multiple intelligences. Efforts expanded to
promote multicultural, interdisciplinary and cooperative learning units.
Across all disciplines, there was increased interest in critical -thinking
skills or students, creative problem -solving and enriched opportunities with
open ended questions. Further movement occurred with efforts to help expand
curriculum opportunities in conflict resolution. A Technology Task Force was
formed, under the careful direction of Robert Parker, to examine the role of
technology as a tool to facilitate learning and instruction. The expanded
definition of technology in North Andover includes voice, video and print.
Increased efforts were made in the area of developmental learning.
Teachers and staff engaged in extensive training that allows educators to
determine what a student can do so that instruction is based on each
student's strengths. Emergent literacy and early literacy initiatives
accelerated. The system recognizes that the foundation of learning in
North Andover is developmental learning, and this is allowing teachers to
teach the student as an individual. Curriculum and instructicnal initiatives
are permitting teachers to build on the many curriculum successes in North
Andover, celebrate the powerful learning that is occurring, and identify
areas that need attention. These curriculum endeavors allow a progressive
school system to remain in the forefront of educational initiatives ensuring
that North Andover students will continue to effectively compete in
contemporary society.
51
Staff oeveluomept
Staff development remains a high priority in North Andover. The school
district recognizes that rich opportunities for faculty and staff to grow
professionally should be commensurate with a strong academic curriculum that
is always evolving to meet the needs and interests of students and the
community. The Curriculum Steering Committee. (CSC), comprised of thirteen
educators who represent teachers, administrators and parents, continues to
play a major role in organizing professional development activities for the
district. The Professional Development Council, a sub -committee of the
Curriculum Steering Committee, continues to coordinate programs that support
inservice and graduate course level work. Reimbursement is available for
teachers who successfully complete graduate level work.
Last year, six one-half inservice days were provided for professional
growth. A program, developed by the Curriculum Steering committee, was based
on the goals outlined in the Task Force 2000 Report and on the Professional
Development Survey (65 percent teacher respondents). Within each school
building, principals selected one or more topics from a menu of options
including: conflict resolution/discipline/heterogeneous grouping/teaching
strategies; inclusion and collaboration; interdisciplinary teaching; math
curriculum implementation; reform at the high school. In addition, three
building -based inservice days were available for meetings.
Nearly forty percent of the faculty (az teachers) participated in
professional growth opportunities last year. These teachers took graduate
in-service courses that ranged from twenty-eight educational fields of study
offered at eight institutions of higher learning in New England.
During the summer, about 100 North Andover teachers were involved in
summer workshops, staff development, and graduate/in-service courses. After
having their proposals for curriculum work accepted by the Curriculum
Steering cnmmittee, twenty-six teachers conducted research over the summer
and submitted curriculum work to the Curriculum Steering Committee.
Several of the on -campus, in-service courses that were offered last year
were designed exclusively to meet the needs and interests of our faculty.
This included "Introduction to the MacIntosh Computer" and "The MacIntosh
Computer Advanced" courses offered by John Digney and Joe Bevilacgna. The
introductory Mac course was also provided during the summer to other
interested educators. Jane Potsaid and Jim O'Neill taught, for the second
year, a challenging course to teachers entitled, "Explorations: Critical
Thinking Course." In an ad hoc capacity, a group of high school teachers
took the initiative to meet informally throughout the year discussing new
iufozmatiou, i.e., distribution of reform related articles in small study
groups; meetings to forge interdisciplinary connections around such topics as
Chinese Art in Social Studies and English. Using an interdisciplinary
approach, Tim Troy developed an exciting Bridges course for students that was
exceptionally well received.
North Andover received almost $50,000 in grant monies to support our
professional growth initiatives. This included four grants awarded by the
52
State from the Commonwealth Inservice Institute program. A Writing Workshop
Srant, also awarded by the State, permitted all teachers, and some parents,
to be trained in the writing process at the Kittredge Elementary School.
North Andover also received the prestigious award of $35,000 for its Early
Childhood Quality Network Training Project. This bold initiative will permit
both public and private pre-school and kindergarten programs in North Andover
to seek NAEYC accreditation.
A significant number of teachers attended local, regional and state
conferences and workshops throughout the year. The conferences and workshop
programs had a high correlation with district -wide initiatives. Many
teachers were able to make site visits to other district where they examined
new programs and educational approaches.
The Curriculum Steering Committee also supported a wide range of
professional growth opportunities. Twenty-seven teachers were trained to
score and administer the Observation Survey. Forty-seven teachers were
trained in the "Observation Survey: What to Do Next." Eight teachers
received highly advanced training in the Observation Survey. Thirty-one
teachers were trained in ELIC, and one teacher completed the LLzFs program.
The Eisenhower Grant permitted seventeen middle and high school teachers to
be trained in "Creative and Critical Thinking Workshop: Innovative Models of
Teaching Pre -Algebra, Algebra and Geometry." Seven teachers received
advanced training in outcome -based education. At the Middle Sobool,
Dr. Gary Oakes conducted training for his staff using the grngoro mind Styles
model and supplemented the training with Bloom's Taxonomy.
During the summer, the Curriculum Steering Committee further developed
the Five -Year Master Plan and designed a program integrating the nine major
initiatives in North Andover that culminated in its "Success for All." The
program was presented to the School Committee at the close of the summer
term. North Andover recognizes that professional growth and staff
development remain critical to the growth and expansion of a school system.
We are witnessing increased momentum as the inservice activities correlate
with curriculum development and the school district's mission for promoting
student learning.

Atkinson School
Over the past several years we have added one additional classroom per
year. This year was not an exception. This year a grade three was added to
the Atkinson Scbool, taught by Ms. Tara Ricciardi. It also appears that
another classroom space will need to be added in the 94~95 school year. We
are indeed fortunate to have the use of the Church classrooms next door. The
three classrooms available there provide necessary classrooms for our
children.
53
Our Ad Hoc Committee, after reviewing the use of the Atkinson (Church)
Annex, recommended placing a second grade there. Mrs. Bennett's class, Grade
2, was assigned to the Annex joining Ms. Bresnahan's Grade 1. The third
classroom was used by the extended kindergarten. The elementary grade level
children at the Annex were fully integrated within the framework of the
Atkinson School for physical education, library, lunch, arrival and
dismissal. It was in this scheduling that we were successful in developing
and maintaining an integrated whole school, albeit, if not physically at
least in spirit. With the opening of the Sargent School, expected in the
fall of 1995, the need to use the Annex will cease or be greatly diminished.
Massachusetts Educational Reform of 1993 made significant changes in how
public schools are funded and run. Certification regulations for all
educators are transformed and are now no longer valid for life but must be
renewed periodically. School Councils are to be formed for each school with
representation from each interest group, the teachers, the parents and
community representatives. The Atkinson School Council parent
representatives were: Mrs. Linda Collamore, Mrs. Donna Katzman and Mrs. Nina
Rauscher; the teacher representatives were: Mr. Mark Donovan, Mrs. Barbara
Weller and myself; The community representatives were Mr. Robert Ryan and
Mrs. Mary Lupinacci. By regulation the Principal is Co-chair and our Council
elected Mrs. Rauscher as the other Co-chair.
Within the framework of the System Goals and School System Philosophy,
as propounded in the Task Force 2000 Report, the School Council has several
responsibilities. Its basic thrust is to assist the Principal to provide the
best possible education for pupils. Building goals are set within the
structure of system priorities and directions. Review of budgets and other
pro -school activities are recommended.
The Atkinson School Council determined to devise a survey that would
develop a baseline. From this foundation, a prioritized list of Goals and
Objectives would be devised for the whole school community to work on. Over
the course of several months a twenty question survey was formulated and
distributed to all of the Atkinson Community. Nearly three hundred and fifty
replies were elicited. The Council then undertook the task of counting each
response and quantifying the comments for each question. Discussion of the
meaning and importance of the issues raised resulted in the selection of
three major areas to be addressed in the spring of 1994 and to continue into
the fall.
GOAL Number 1 addressed the issue of a safer learning environment for
all pupils which was to address issues emphasizing respect for others and
self worth. Activities such as review and revision, if necessary, of the
Discipline Code will be undertaken. Development of conflict resolution
skills along with heightening sensitivities of the whole Atkinson Community
regarding cultural ethnic and gender issues are to be addressed. Increased
Safety Awareness culmination in A Safety Day Program was developed for late
spring 1994. Involvement in the community assisted the Library Building
Program while contributing to increased reading on the part of students.
Nearly $ 7,000 was raised and forwarded to the Library Building Fund by
Atkinson All-Star Pupils.
54
GOAL Number 2 addressed the issue of promoting usage of computers and
technology while reaching into the community. Due to the current lack of
appropriate space in the academic portion of the building, a partial lab will
be set up in the fall. This will give us experience for space utilization
which will become available the following year with the opening of the
Sargent School. Hardware and software currently available needs to be
reviewed and refurbished and working with Mr. Parker, movement towards the
newer MAC technology needs to take place. Further education for staff in the
areas of telecommunication, MAC technology, and other areas must take place
concurrently with a determined movement toward further hardware acquisition
under the system's technology plan, which is currently being devised.
Children will live daily with this technology and we must assist them.
GOAL Number 3 addressed the sufficiency of school materials both in
variety and depth. Core curriculum materials were to be inventoried, and
purchases for the next year beyond Core curriculum materials will be made on
a prioritized list as devised and submitted by teachers. Further, teachers
wish lists for materials would be circulated to determine availability and
addition to their repertoire.
No Annual Report could be complete without acknowledging the tremendous
amount of energy, effort, expertise contributed by the parents to the overall
well-being of the school. This contribution was matched fully by the
teaching staff, not only, in the caring performance of their every day
duties, but also by the variety of ways that they approached children as
individuals. Last year staff became involved in more workshops and graduate
level training than ever before in our history. Through the efforts of these
adults, parents and teachers, working in concert together, I am certain that
the children progressed in all areas more readily and effectively than in
previous years. Now the challenge is to maintain and improve that level of
performance on the part of all members of the Atkinson School Community.

Bradstreet Early Childhood Center
The Preschool and Early Childhood Center worked with a total of 425
children during the 1993/1994 school year. We had five Preschool classes,
two Pre -first classes and seventeen kindergarten classes. We welcomed new
staff members Ellen Bury and Linda Toomey (preschool teachers) and
Karen Paterson, Lisa Smith, Sue Stonecipher, Marianne Hollingshead, and
Robin Sullivan (teacher aides) to our programs. our School Council,
representing both the Preschool and the Early Childhood Center, developed an
Improvement Plan with five major goals which flowed from the School System's
philosophy and Annual Goals.
Our first goal addressed School Culture. In order to enhance school
safety, we reviewed and revised school emergency procedures, our drop-off and
pick-up policies and playground rules. Changes implemented included having
all children who are picked up by parents dismissed from one classroom where
55
a teacher monitors dismissal, inspection and repair of older playground
equipment, and revision of playground rules. We also began several
activities designed to help students deal with differences and gain skill in
resolving conflicts. These initiatives will be continued and expanded in the
coming school year.
A second goal focused on improving Communication with private preschools
and outside agencies such as D.S.S, M.S.P.C.C. and Early Intervention. All
local preschools and the above agencies were informed about our programs and
about kindergarten screening. Bradstreet staff developed a questionnaire
which parents may voluntarily ask preschool teachers to complete to provide
us with information about children which may help in placing children in
appropriate classes. Staff attended informational parent evenings at several
preschools, and most preschools arranged for their students to visit
Bradstreet during the spring for orientation.
Our third goal was to review and revise kindergarten screening
procedures and resulted in a recommendation that the timing of screening be
changed from spring to the fall of 1994. This recommendation was approved by
the School Committee; all preschools were informed, and orientation plans
were modified. The focus in the spring was on welcoming and providing
information to children and parents. The changes were very positively
received by parents, children, and the preschools.
Our fourth and fifth goals were related to providing a Responsive
Curriculum. Together with a number of private preschools and our Extended
Kindergarten, we applied for and received a grant of $35,000 from the
Massachusetts Quality Network to prepare for and Lo apply for accreditation
of our programs by the NAEYC (National Association of Educators of Young
Children). We began this process in April and will continue it throughout
the 1994/95 school year. An in-depth self study, and ongoing professional
development activities with two consultants will culminate in the application
in the spring of 1995. All of these activities are aimed at making every
aspect of our programs more child -centered and developmentally appropriate.
Complementing the Accreditation Process was extensive staff development
around early literacy. All staff members have participated in several
courses and workshops which have provided them with new strategies for
helping young children develop early reading and writing skills. New
techniques, as well as large numbers of books for emergent and early readers,
have been infused into every classroom and our library. As teachers
implement these new strategies and use the new materials, children already
appear to be experiencing increased success with their early attempts at
reading and writing.
In conclusion, it was a most productive year. As we have worked hard to
make classrooms child centered and activities developmentally appropriate,
and to act on new knowledge about early literacy, we have been excited to see
the effect on children. We feel that all of these initiatives will help our
young children develop strong basic skills and crew as independent, active
and successful learners.

Franklin School
The Franklin Elementary School welcomed a number of new staff members as
we began the 1993-94 school year. Dana Warwick joined our first grade
teaching team and Deborah Gesing transferred from the Thomson School to
become one of our fourth grade teachers. In the school office Brenda Peck
retired as secretary after many years of service for the North Andover School
Department. Rosemary Riccio, who had been a bookkeeper at the
Superintendent's office has joined us as our new school secretary.
Jean McAloon, who had been a teacher's aide here at Franklin, replaced
Cindy Parent as the school's half time secretary. Mrs. Parent has taken a
full-time position at the Superintendent's office. We also welcomed several
new members tc our support staff. Jennifer Slosek and Marianne Ebert have
joined the staff as instructional aides and Maxine Davis returned as library
aide replacing Terry Morin, who retired last year after several years of
service in libraries across the school system. Finally, Joe Mailloux has
taken ownership of the maintenance of the school as head custodian replacing
Ken Lanouette, who transferred to the High School mid way through the school
year.
School Improvement Activities
The School Council has a central role in the planning and coordination
of many of our school efforts throughout the school year. With the role of
the Council expanded by the Education Reform Act of 1993, we decided to
increase the size of our Council to generate greater involvement of staff,
parents and community members in the site-based management approach at
Franklin. Council members for the 93-94 school year included Thomas Kane,
Principal; teacher members, Beth Colby, Mary Lou Costello, Pam Lathrop,
Kristen Molnar and Maureen Roberts; parent members, Joanne Bider, Barbara
Haggerty, Mary -Ann Levis, Abbe Ritchie, Cathy Shaw, and Cheryl Walker; and
community members, Ramsey Bahrawy and Rosemary Brennan.
The Council met bi-weekly through most of the year and engaged in a
number of activities. Public forums were held to gather input on the Grade
Reorganization proposals and the State Department of Education's Common Core
of Learning. The Council generated written input that was sent tc the Common
Core Task Force for their consideration in the development of the Common
Core. Parents, teachers, and students were surveyed to gather their
perceptions of the School's strengths and weaknesses. This data is useful in
the process of developing the School Improvement Plan. The Council also
gathered information about community and parent resources and is compiling
this data in a Community Resource Guide. The Resource Guide will help
teachers plan more learning experiences that help children connect the
curriculum with their environment.
The School Council developed the Franklin School Improvement Plan which
becomes a framework for much of the staff's professional activities through
the year. The following are the major focus goals and related school
activities of the 93-94 Plan.
57
A. Resnonsive Curriculum
Fifteen staft members were involved in one or more training courses on
Early Literacy teaching and assessment techniques. Two teachers, Beth Colby
and Walter Huston, were trained as Early Literacy In Service Course
instructors and conducted workshops for teachers from throughout the school
system and from neighboring communities. Teachers who received the training
implemented the use of the Observation Record as an assessment tool that
focuses on a student's strengths rather than just student deficits. We
piloted the use cf reading materials to facilitate the implementation of
Early Literacy teaching principles in grade one.
In addition to our work in language arts, we expanded our inventory of
math manipulatives with funds raised by the Franklin P.T.O. We were also
able to purchase five MacIntosh computers with P.T.O. funds. Teachers
presented an interactive program about math instruction with manipulatives
for parents at a fall P.T.O. meeting.
B. Collaboration
We implemented a third collaboration/inclusion model at Franklin with
our fifth grade team teaching model. The cornerstone to the model was the
commitment to collaborative planning involving teachers Mary Margaret
Provost, Maureen Roberts, Pat Maslen and Margaret Scanlon. The model
effectively incorporated the kind cf flexible grouping needed to make
heterogeneous classrooms work.
The staff utilized two curriculum half days to focus on practices that
are key to successful collaboration. In November, a group of a dozen
teachers, who had participated in a year-long Seminar on Inclusion at
Fitchburg State College, conducted a workshop on skills needed for successful
collaboration and inclusion for all elementary teachers across the system.
School Culture
Teaching children Conflict Resolution strategies was a central goal at
Franklin School for the 93-94 school year. Carole Cowie, Pam Lathrop,
Mona Manzi and Joan Redman participated in Conflict Resolution training
courses over the summer. They conducted a 10 -week series of workshops for
the staff on teaching techniques for conflict resolution. In order to
introduce these strategies into the school culture, the "language" of
conflict resolution was adopted at Franklin. We highlighted these strategies
with posters in each classroom and through classroom activities. The staff
conducted an informational program for parents about cur conflict resolution
goals at the September P.T.O. meeting. In February, the P.T.O. sponsored an
evening workshop for parents conducted by Stephanie Meegan that identified
how these strategies can be employed at home as well as at school.
Other Activities
Students and teachers engaged in a variety of learning experiences
throughout the year both in school and at a variety of settings throughout
the area. The Academic Fair was held in March and gave children an
opportunity to display works that they completed individually or collectively
during the yeai. Students traveled to Bunker Hill, tidal pools at Hampton,
the Plastics Museum, Worcester Art Museum, the Aquarium, the Children's
Museum, the Parson Barnard House, and the Stone Zoo to reinforce curriculum
concepts. In addition to these field trips, a number of people including
rangers from Lowell National Park, instructors from the Boston Science Museum
and Project Awesome, and many parents came to school to conduct lessons that
helped children make connections between their school studies and the world
around them.
The North Andover Enrichment Council and the Franklin P.T.O. provided a
series of cultural events for the children's enjoyment. Some favorites were
the Bamide2e Dancers, Johnny the K., story teller Valarie Tutson, Peanut
Butter Jam and the Actor's Theater of Maine.
The Franklin P.T.C. provides many opportunities for patents to take an
active role in the home-school partnership that is the foundation or
successful schools. The parents worked hard to raise funds to increase the
use of technology at Franklin and to purchase materials and support Leacher
training activities that are needed to achieve School Improvement Plan goals.
Parent volunteers worked in classrooms to support classroom programs, provide
Disabilities Awareness Starts Here (D.A.S.H.) classroom programs and conduct
Project Charlie lessons. The P.T.O. also helped to build a sense of
community at, Franklin through activities like the Holiday Social, Donuts for
Dad, Muffins for Mom and the Ice Cream Social.
In conclusion, I would like to thank all of the staff, students
parents ter their efforts to make Franklin School a child -centered, safe,
successful learning environment.

Increased enrollment, increased staffing and increased space dominated
ou thoughts in the early days ot this school year. With the addition of a
third first grade class and a new teacher, Mrs. Lynne Tortora, came a new
portable classroom. Because it was not ready or the opening of school in
September, these students had the rare opportunity of having LWO "first days"
in their grade one classroom. Mrs. Tortora had the pleasure of planning both
temporary and permanent instructional spaces at once. We also welcomed
Ms. Elizabeth Booye as a fifth grade teacher. Her energy and enthusiasm
Inspires all of us.
The Education Reform Law of 1993 caused the formation of School Councils
in all schools. Elections were held to determine three parent and two
teacher representati-ees. A Community member was solicited by the principal.
59
The following people became the first Kittredge School Council under the new
law:
Bette Ann Coyle, Principal and Chair
Winifred Bowersox, parent and Co -Chair
Diane Carney, parent
Barbara Grasso, parent
Kathleen Flanagan, teacher
Laurie Rottler, teacher
Kathleen Blain, community
member
This council had a tremendous impact on educational practices through
the development of a School Improvement Plan that represented the interests
of the entire Kittredge community. There were five major building
initiatives in the plan:
Inclusion: Because we wanted to expand our ability to meet the needs of
diverse learners in the classroom environment, we restructured our use of
support personnel to maximize the possibility for individual student success.
We attended workshops and held in -building seminars to develop team
structures and collaboration skills. In an attempt to prevent the need for
Special Education services, we also examined an alternative reading program
for first graders and found it to be an effective way to provide a
developmental beginning to the reading process.
Curriculum: There were two topics in our curriculum initiative: The Writing
Process and Computer use. In order to develop a consistent approach to
writing across the grade levels, we used grant funding to bring Mary Ellen
Ciacobbe, a nationally known writing consultant, to Kittredge to four full
days of working with the faculty and students. We strengthened our
understanding of the relationship between Reading and Writing and began to
try out many of the ideas and strategies that were demonstrated. This model
was successful enough that we plan to refine our techniques for the next
academic year. We were especially appreciative of the many parents who
covered classes so teachers could observe and learn from Mary Ellen.
We expanded the use of computers at Kittredge by using a dedicated cadre
of parent volunteers to help us teach groups of children in the computer lab.
Mr. David Pristash coordinated the effort, teaching parents how tc use the
new lab packs of software that were purchased. The PTO provided financial
support for this goal by dedicating several fund-raising events to this
cause. Every class had time in the computer lab, learning about computers
while strengthening academic skills. Our next focus will be to look at Lhe
computer as a tool to help us be more effective in using the curriculum.
Discipline and Safety: Our Discipline Policy had not been reviewed in a
number of years. We decided to re-examine it in light of the behavior
changes it should bring about. Faculty and School Council members created a
new plan which, after several revisions, should be ready for implementation
in the next school year. The new plan describes the right of the entire
school community to enjoy a peaceful, orderly, respectful environment. Rules
that provide a common level of expectation for behavior to support this Bill
of Rights are followed by clearly stated consequences. We are anxious to
implement this policy next fall.
60
Communication: The Kittredge School Council surveyed parents and staff
during the tall on specific school -related issues. There was overwhelming
response to the survey which generated a tremendous amount of information.
As we analyzed responses, we realized that improved communication between
school and home had to be a major focus for the future. We began to develop
a school handbook which will be provided to all families in the fall. The
staff also planned a more informative format for our Fall Open House. As
more immediate response, we began to inform parents about Curriculum Day
topics and made better use of the school newspaper, providing regular
messages from the teachers, principal and school council.
Many events during the year impact the education of students but don't
appear in the School Improvement Plan. The Enrichment Council continues to
provide hioh quality programs to each school. We especially appreciate their
interest in connecting these programs to our curriculum in a meaningful way.
Field trips, both within and outside of North Andover, help students see
learning as a dynamic experience that extends their classroom instruction.
Each semester, we try to help students give to their community by
contributing food and clothing to support local causes. This year, they also
raised funds, through estimating activities, to support the Library expansion
fund.
Parent volunteers play a critical role in formal programs such as:
Project Charlie (designed to enhance self-esteem) and DASH (Disability
Awareness Starts Here - designed to heighten appreciation for individual
differences). Less noticeable, but equally important, are the parents who
perform clerical tasks, plan parties, help in the computer lab, read to
children, cover classes for early meetings, help on the playground and take
bus duty for teachers on meeting days. We have a dedicated core of parents
who are willing to do any task that will help us to be more effective in
educating the children. We value them highly.
Each year, we learn more about the educating of children. Professional
Development opportunities are so many and varied that it is essential to be
focused and selective. The Kittredge faculty remains interested in and
supportive of the direction set by the Curriculum Steering Committee. Every
teacher engaged in some form of professional learning during this school
year, whether offered by the school department or by outside institutions.
There is potential for rich discussion and debate as some long -held beliefs
are beginning to be challenged by current research. Reading, reflection and
realignment will become the three R's for educators as we take advantage of
the information explosion around learning issues. This is a great time to be
an educator! This is a great time to be a learner!
Respectfully submitted,
Bette Ann Coyle, Kittredge Principal

Thomson School
The 1993-94 school year was one of challenge and change for the Thomson
School Community, Sara Keaney joined the faculty as the Special Needs
teacher, Mindy Rosenbaum was Special Needs Aide, and. Maria Lee became the new
fourth grade teacher. In January, John Nelson retired after serving twenty-
five and a half dedicated years as principal. Nancy Dowe and Nancy Jukins
became the Interim Co -Principals sharing the principal's responsibilities and
continuing half-time in their teaching positions.
The Massachusetts Education Reform Bill established School improvement
Councils in all of cur schools. The Thomson School Improvement Council
members included teachers Ben Klemer and Eileen Sharkey, parents
Steve Burns, Sharon Kotce and John Munro, community member Karen Young, and
Principal Nancy Jukins. The council worked diligently throughout the school
year developing a school mission. The following building initiatives were
also formulated:
Building Initiative I
- Improve the "Student Assistance Team" (SAT) process in order to
provide our teachers with the support system that, will assist them
in the implementation of strategies .n order for them to meet the
diverse needs of the students.
In April and May, the teachers at the Thomson School participated in an
intensive training program in order to become better skilled in the SAT
process Consultants from Pinnacle Resources helped us to develop strateaies
and to identity resources so that we could better help students succeed in
the classroom. An SAT Team was established in June and implementation is
expected to begin in September.
Building Initiative II
- Develop and implement an improved
collaboration procedure.
As the Thomson School staff began to develop an inclusionary model of
delivering services to students, they recognized the need to begin examining
models of collaborative teaching,
Building Initiatives III and IV
- Educate teachers about conflict resolution as a strategy for
improving the classroom climate. Educate, inform, and involve
students in peace -making techniques to be implemented in the home,
school, and community.
Believing that a safe and comfortable environment is essential for
learning to occur was the driving force behind this initiative. The Conflict
Reso]ution Committee investigated strategies for enabling students to resolve
conflict. in a peaceful and reasonabe manner. The committee expects to send
two teachers to a summer Institute to pursue training that can he extended to
the rest of the faculty during the 1994-94 school year,
62
Develop an enthusiasm for mathematics among students, staff, and
the school community through a school -wide project or program.
The School Council hopes to promote students, confidence, flexibility'
curiosity, and inventiveness in doing mathematics by conducting a school -wide
project in the spring of 1e95. The Math Project Committee will develop an
implementation plan during the fall of 1994.
Building Initiative VI
Improve communication among the members of the Thomson School
Community.
A Communications Committee was established and chaired by School Council
member Sharon Kotce. The committee will develop a School Handbook during the
summer of 199* and publish it in October. They will continue to assess
communication needs in the 1994-95 school year.
Three in -school committees were established in April to work on the
building initiatives. Nancy Dowe was the chair of the SAT Committee,
Sara Keeney was the chair of the Collaboration Committee, and Maria Lee was
the chair of the Conflict Resolution cnmmittee, All of the other staff
members were on one of the committees. The enthusiasm and energy of each of
the staff members in regard to their respective committees permeated the
building and affected the climate and culture of the entire school community.
In addition to the activities relating to the School Improvement
c000cil, there were many special learning activities at the Thomson School.
The PTO, an integral part of the Thomson School Community, provided the
funding for the Enrichment programs and for bus transportation for field
trips. They also supported activities throughout the entire year. There
were field trips to the Topsfield Fair, the Aquarium, the Lowell National
Park, Plaice Cove, The Lawrence Eagle -Tribune, the University of
Massachusetts at Lowell Theatre, The Butterfly Museum, George's Island, the
Museum of Fine Arts and others. In Agril, the fifth grade class hooted their
Michigan Pen Pal class for a week-long experience of friendship and learning.
With the support of the PTO and the fifth grade parents, 24 fifth graders,
their teacher, and 4 chaperons from the Lakeside Elementary School in East
Grand Rapids, Michigan, were welcomed into the homes of fifth grade students.
They spent the week involved in field trips with the Thomson fifth graders to
Plimotl, Plantation, Salem, Concord and Lexington, aoatpo, and Plum Island.
The experience is one that will be remembered by all!
In conclusion, we would like to thank all of the staff, parents, and
students of the Thomson School tor contributing to the success of the 1993'94
school year.

Middle School
I hereby submit my first annual report as Principal of the North Andover
Middle School.
Enrollment
The enrollment at the North Andover Middle School on October 1, 1993,
was 791 students. This represents an increase of 14 from October 1, 1992,
Staffing/Program
Three new teachers joined us in September. In sixth grade
Ms. Katie McSwiggin joined the Six Blue Team as a math teacher In addition,
Ms. McSwiggin co -directed the After -Hours Program along with another new
teacher, Ms. Joanne Malone. Ms. Joanne Malone became a new member of the
Seven Blue Team teaching math and social studies. The third new teacher,
Mr. David Russell was hired to teach the Health Curriculum to all three grade
levels.
In addition to these new teaching positions, Ms. Carol Rizzo was hired
to develop the STAR Program. This (Students and Teachers Achieving Results)
program is designed to provide assistance for students who need extra support
and counseling, especially those who are considered "at risk". The program
has been highly successful this year and served over twenty-five students.
Another major program initiative this year has been the After -Hours
Program. This program, funded though the Tobacco Grant, provided a full
range of activities for students after school. The major goal of the program
was to provide opportunities for students for positive involvement after
school. Activities included sports, math brain teasers and drama, for
example.
Action Plan
The school's action plan emphasized two critical areas this year. Since
the School Committee voted in June, 1993, to have all classes grouped
heterogeneously (except for eighth grade Algebra), a major staff development
initiative was undertaken beginning in October. Approximately twenty-five
hours of training was provided for all staff with an emphasis placed on
teaching to different learning styles and to restructure the curriculum to
meet the full range of student abilities.
The second area of the action plan was the critical topic of inclusion.
Weekly meetings were held with the Special Education teachers to begin
planning for improving the implementation process for the inclusion model.
School Council
Under the School Reform Law of 1993, each school is required to
establish a School Council comprised of parents, teachers, the principal and
64
representatives of the larger community. The School Council was formed by
October with eleven members. Meetings were held bi-weekly with the major
task being the development of a School Improvement Plan. The Plan called for
major work in several areas including staff training and a more cohesive
approach to improving instruction in the area of affective education.
Building
The windows on the front of the building were replaced in the fall
adding to the overall improvement of the appearance of the school. The fire
alarm was completely replaced with a state-of-the-art system, Educationally,
the most exciting building improvement was the new furniture for six science
rooms. This new furniture included a set of lab tables complete with water
and gas access.
Personnel
There were a number of changes in the main office, which began with
Mr. Neal leaving in July to become Assistant Superintendent in Andover.
Mr. Neal was replaced by Mr. Daniel Desmond, the retired principal of North
Andover High School, Mr. Desmond was acting principal until
Dr Gary N. Oakes was hired to start in late September. When he started,
Mr. Desmond was kind enough to remain, as Assistant Principal, when
Mr. Buccini left to accept a principalship in New Hampshire.
Future Organizational Structure
During its June meeting, the School Committee approved a proposal to
restructure the middle school into a House structure. The proposal is a
response to both the educational and growth needs of the school. By placing
the three grade levels in a House, a more coordinated and collaborative
approach will occur. Secondly, middle level aged students need a strong
sense of community which the smaller school -within -a -school structure of a
House will provide.
In order to provide this structure, two House Coordinators will be hired
to replace the Assistant Principal. Each Coordinator will be responsible for
a range of activities in their assigned House. We are all looking forward to
working within this new structure. North Andover Middle School is on its way
to being a more authentic middle school.

Gary N. Oakes, Principal
North Andover Rich School
Without a doubt, the biggest news of the school year at North Andover
High School came on April 7, 1994, when the Commission on Public Secondary
Schools of the New England Association of Schools and Colleges announced that
our school had been removed from warning status and that its accreditation
65
had been continued. Citing the "concerted efforts of school personnel,
school and community officials and parent groups" to increase funding of the
school system's budget, the Commission commended the school's significant
progress in number of areas, including increased staffing levels; new and
restored courses, programs, activities, and services for increased staffing
levels; new and restored courses, programs, activities, and services for
students; reduction of the athletic user fees; restoration of professional
development and curriculum improvement activities for teachers; improvements
and repairs to the physical plant; and the restoration of some budget support
for library and media services.
The Commission expressed continuing concern for still -needed budget
increases to provide for updating the book collection in the library,
replacing student lockers, replacing the roof, improving the heating and
ventilation system, and replacing needed furniture and equipment. Several of
these concerns are in fact addressed by the school system's current capital
improvements plan.
The entire school community breathed a sigh of reliet when this worry
was removed. The diligent and conscientious efforts of so many school
community members and town citizens contributed significantly to putting NABS
back cn track and bringing the school into conformity with the standards of
the NEASC Commission. Such contributions deserved not only the commendation
given them by the NEASC, but also our sincerest gratitude. Such efforts must
be continued to keep NABS on track in fulfilling its educational mission to
the best of our abilities.
As with all schools ln the Commonwealth, the High School felt the impact
of the Educational Reform Act of 1993. A School Council was formed. Council
members included William Bruce, Harry Hamilton, Barbara Simons (who served as
Co -Chairperson), and Barbara Vogel; teachers Stephen Buee, Bert Noyes, and
John Strobel; community representative Sam Ameen; and students Michael
Garvin, Kara Laflamme, Wanda Lee, Courtney Rennicke, Luis Sanchez, and Teena
Xenakis. Included in its responsibilities was the development of a school
improvement plan. After surveying their constituents and analyzing the
results, the Council identified three goals for this school year; improving
the school's physical, educational, and social environment; improving public
information, public relations, and even "marketing" the high school
prospective students and to the community; and examining critical health
education issues, including health curriculum.
The remainder of my report will describe the High School's efforts to
accomplish these goals. To improve school climate, new programs were created
to recognize, endorse and support positive behaviors in the school. Teachers
and students received training in conflict resolution skills and a peer
mediation program was developed. The faculty person (Counselor
Margaret Ekholm) and student (Junior Bryce Benson) who contributed the most
in this effort were honored as recipients of the first annual Rick Gorman
Peace Prize at year's end. Another recognition program resulted in deserving
students being granted ROSCARs" ()Iltstandlng Scarlet Knight Attitude Reward)
for exemplifying respectful attitudes and community -building effort.
66
The physical environment received its share of much-needed attention
with the creation of a beautification committee. This committee, made up of
parents and students sponsored by the Parent Advisory Council, initiated
painting and redecorating projects around the school to perk up the place.
Plans were made to repair the leaky roof and to replace lockers. All in all,
important first steps were taken to improve the physical appearance of a
building much in need or repair and refurbishment.
School efforts to improve public relations and to market the school
included a variety of activities. Greater efforts were put forth to get the
accomplishments of students and teachers publicized in Lhe local press. The
Shadow Program, which brings eighth -graders to the high school for a day, was
revised by a committee of parents, teachers, and students to become the
Knight for a Day program. Similarly, the Eight -Grade Parents Information
Night was revised and plans were made for future improvements in our
"recruitment" activities for the following year. We initiated a Freshman
Orientation Day, whereby the new ninth -graders have an entire day of
welcoming and orientation on the first day of school --without the distraction
and confusion that occurs when the full student body pours into school.
Helpful upperclassmen and student activity officers made this day an
informative and comforting start for our newcomers!
Health Curriculum was among the busiest areas of school program change
and improvement throughout the year. Aided by the funds coming to us from
the so-called Tobacco Grants (raised by the new taxes on tobacco products),
we were able to hire a full-time health teacher and begin the revision of our
entire health curriculum. Ali Freshman students are now required to take
health and the program was expanded to double the number of classes per year.
A clinical consultant (a licensed therapist) was hired part -Lime to assist
counselors, administrators, and teachers with some of the more challenging
psychological and emotional issues now being brought to school by our
students. Special Education Teacher Joe Hehn and Youth Services Director
Rick Gorman expanaed their highly successful Mission Possible program,
providing small groups for selected students to work through some of their
problem issues with the assistance and support of one another.
These initiatives kept faculty and staff busy but made for a rewarding
year. As I conclude, I would like to include two other highlights deserving
of mention. A special subcommittee of the Parent Advisory Council who named
themselves SOS (for Support our Seniors) inaugurated the tirst annual post -
graduation all-night party. Designed both to provide the departing seniors
with a fittingly grand and celebratory conclusion of their high school
career, as well as to safeguard them in an alcohol- and substance -free
environment, the party was a huge success. SOS raised the money needed and
organized an event that students and teachers are still talking about. These
caring and entrepreneurial folks have begun a tradition that will reward and
honor our graduates for years to come. Another highlight was when a clever
group of science students banded together to enter AT&T's first annual Rube
Goldberg contest. The NAI -IS contraption tied our team for first place and won
the school a new computer!
67
I want to thank every student, teacher, parent, and community member who
contributed so much to make 1993-94 such a memorable school year!

report for Computer Technology.
Program Highlights
1. Systemwide
A. Macintosh computers were purchased for all building secretaries as
the transition to the Macintosh environment is taking place.
S. Five in-service courses for teachers (including two summer courses)
were given during the year. The staff development training is
designed to introduce staff to the Macintosh environment and the
utilization of technology in the classroom.
C. "Sports and. Things," a live interactive talk show hosted by
Bill McEvoy expanded to a biweekly broadcast. Guests included
selectmen, school committee, department heads, athletes, coaches,
other politicians and trivia experts.
D. The Technology Department published its first of many newsletters
called "Hi**Technology**Lites." The publication described many of
the noteworthy programs that utilize computer technology in the
classroom.
E. A new community television studio will be constructed at the high
school. This addition is a direct result of negotiations for
relicensing with Continental Cablevision.
F. A Technology Task Force was assembled, being charged with writing a
Three - Five Year Technology Plan which will represent our vision
for technology in future years.

2. High School
A. The mathematics MAC lab became a hub for activity in computer
exploration of software including geometry, calculus, algebra and
graphics programs.
B. The administration at the High School installed and implemented its
new hardware/software package for doing grades and class schedules
on the Macintosh platform.
C. Via a gifted and talented program (REMS), a modem and computer was
added to our Technology Department connecting students to the
world-wide Internet database and knowledge tree. Through a local
telephone number, students gained access to the expanded
technology.
3. Middle School
Every student in the Middle School had Computer Technology
class four times a cycle for one quarter of the year in the Macintosh
Lab. Keyboarding skills were practiced at the beginning of most
classes. All students were taught basic word processing, including how
to incorporate graphic elements into word processing documents, as well
as being introduced to data bases. In the seventh and eighth grades,
some of the possibilities of spreadsheets were also explored.
Nearly all of the students at NAMS use the Apple Ile computers
during the year for word processing assignments. Many of these
assignments allow the students to begin with free writing on the
computer, edit printed drafts in the classroom, make changes on the
computers, and print out final copies. The language arts teachers also
make use of the networked grammar and reading programs, reinforcing
skills learned in class or adding enrichment.
Math teachers use the networked math objectives throughout the year
which allow students to move at their own rates and allow the teachers
to help individuals who require attention. The teachers also use the
Algebra I series which is on disks and the networked version of Algebra
Plotter Plus, as well as other disks for remediation or enrichment such
as Mastery Arithmetic Games, Fraction Munchers and Factory.
Science teachers use a Genetics program on disks as well as many
laser disks and/or CD's that are now available.
Eighth Grade
Two of three language arts teachers used the lab for word
processing this year, one for the entire year and one for half of the
year.
All math teachers used the lab at some time during the year using
CNS Classworks Program, the Algebra I disks, and the Algebra Plotter.
69
Seventh Grade
Two of the three language arts teachers used the lab for word
processing at some time during the year, one of them also using the MAC
lab for part of the year. These two teachers also used the grammar
sequence of the CNS Classworks Program during the year, selecting
objectives that reinforced material being learned in class or as review
for a test.
All math teachers were able to use the lab on a consistent basis
selecting curriculum -appropriate objectives from the CNS Classworks
program. One of the teachers also used the Algebra I disks for students
who completed the objectives that were assigned.
Sixth Grade
All language arts teachers used the lab for word processing at some
time during the year; however, teachers found it difficult to find time
to come later in the year due to the limited amount of time they had to
teach the language arts curriculum this year. They also used the
grammar or reading objectives from the CNS Classworks program at some
time during the year, selecting objectives to reinforce class work or
review for a test.
All math teachers used the lab this year for the CNS Classworks
program.
4. Elementary Schools
A. All elementary schools, including the Bradstreet Early Childhood
Center, upgraded attendance recording procedures. They implemented
MacSchool software and now all schools are in harmony in attendance
procedures.
B. All elementary schools took part in the National Geographic Kids'
Network, participating in Hello, Acid Rain and Trash modules.
Students sent results of surveys and gather other environmental
data to share with other students around the country.
C. The computer lab at the Kittredge School was completed. The Apple
lab was scheduled giving each teacher/class lab time on designated
days.
D. Modems were installed in libraries for all schools with access to
the widely acclaimed Internet Database. The service is expected to
tie in nicely with our revised curricula.

Department of Health. Physical Education and Athletics
The 1993-1994 school year was one of change for the department in
regards to personnel. The addition of a half teacher at the elementary level
allowed us to provide physical education to the Early Childhood Center
students once a week, and a high school health teacher provided health
education for all freshman students. Also, Brian McNally left to become the
Director of Physical Education and Athletics for the Lexington School system.
We owe Brian a debt of gratitude for his leadership through the troubled
times of budget cuts when he held our programs together and maintained the
quality of our programs. Our staffing continues to improve, and we hope to
be able to restore our physical education programs in grades 11 and 12 in the
future.
The school department funding of athletics continues to increase and
provided $150,000 this year; approximately fifty five percent of the budget
for salaries and expenses. Student -athletes were required to pay a user fee
of $95 per sport to participate in athletics, which is a reduction from $125
the previous year. In addition to the revenue generated by user fees, the
North Andover Athletic Association/Sportswagon raised $30,000 for high school
athletics. The continued hard work and dedication of the many volunteers of
the Athletic Association has allowed us to provide programs on all levels,
and their efforts are appreciated by the students and staff of North Andover
High School.
An extensive after school activities program was offered at the Middle
School this year, and an open gym was run at the high school during the
summer evenings, thanks to a grant received to fund these programs.
Physical Education
1. All students in grades kindergarten through 10 participated in physical
education classes in either the regular or adaptive programs. Students
in grades four through ten were tested using the Presidential Physical
Fitness Testing program. Students in grades one, two and three were
tested using and adapted, age appropriate version of these tests. Our
students scored well when compared with students their age throughout
the country.
2. The elementary health and physical education teachers successfully
conducted field days for the Early Childhood Center and the four
elementary schools.
3 The high school physical education program continued to emphasize a
"lifetime fitness" curriculum for our students. Units on personal
fitness and weight training, tennis and golf have been stressed in
addition to other popular activities such as basketball, floor hockey,
volleyball and pickle ball.
Health Education
1. The project DARE program was continued for sixth grade students. A
$4,000 grant from the Department of Education allowed us to offer
71
activities including a town -wide DARE Fair held in June at the middle
school. The North Andover Police Department and DARE Officer
Tracy Castiglione in particular, have been extremely cooperative in
making this program a success.
2. For the seventh consecutive year, the North Andover Public Schools
received a Drug Free Schools grant through the Department of Education.
This year's grant was $17,419 which funded the stipend for the
Coordinator of Project Charlie, paid for guest speakers, educational
material, after school programs, as well as programs offered by the
Department of Youth Services.
3. The Project Charlie program was successfully taught by close to forty
volunteers in grades one, three and five.
4. The Disabilities Awareness Starts Here (DASH) program was successfully
taught by teachers, specialists and volunteers in our elementary
schools
5. Health Education was taught to all ninth and tenth grade students. All
tenth grade students received instruction and certification in CPR.
Athletics
The Athletic Department continued to feel the effects of reduced funding
and welcomes the prospect of a fully funded program in the future. The
coaching staff and student -athletes have worked hard this past year and have
achieved various levels of success. Most notably were the undefeated girls
soccer team, the boys indoor track team and the fall cheerleaders who won
League Championships. Several teams qualified for State Tournament
competition and many student -athletes participated in individual competitions
at the Sectional and State level.
The highlight of the school year was the accomplishments of gymnast
Renee Sestito. Renee was chosen All Scholastic by both the Boston Globe and
Boston Herald; was MVC champion on the balance beam, floor exercise, vault
and all around; Massachusetts State Individual Champion on the vault and all
.around, second on the balance beam and third on floor exercise. A truly
outstanding year and she returns next season for her senior year.
In closing, I would like to thank the North Andover Athletic
Association/Sportswagon, the high school coaches and our student -athletes who
continue to provide the efforts which make our program a success. My first
year has been an exciting and enjoyable experience, and I look forward to

every effort be made to restore the full athletic budget so that all students
may be able to participate in the co -curricular activities and gain the
benefits without additional fees.

Fine and Performiaa Arts
Art Department
The Fine and Performing Arts Department in North Andover has completed
another exciting and productive year. Teachers are attending numerous
workshops and conferences that promote professional development and support
teacher learning. During the past summer, Marty Ruzicka set the pace for
acceleration in teacher learning by attending the National Art Educators
Annual Conference in Baltimore, MD. The entire staff of this devoted
department (seven members strong) is growing professionally and making much
progress with interdisciplinary units and activities.
Our latest member appointed to the elementary art department,
Karen Kriz, continues to excite children at the Bradstreet with engaging
projects. She enthralled the kindergarten staff with exquisite butterfly
decorations carefully crafted for the open house. She worked carefully to
modify activities for children who are academically and physically challenged
and created rich interdisciplinary opportunities for all children. Many of
the interdisciplinary units were school -wide themes.
Also at the elementary level, Marty Ruzicka endeavored to provide a wide
range of art activities for his students. The first grade worked on the
Indian program, and fifth graders studied famous artists including Matisse,
Escher and Calder. The fourth grade went to the Museum of Fine Arts, and
many of the students spent an afternoon at the Addison Gallery in Andover.
Further art experiences for elementary students in grades one through
five under the capable direction of Barbara Olson, included: knowledge of
aesthetic principles, application and exploration, and aesthetic evaluation.
Art history dominated the program and art projects, including: Dutch Baroque
painting, Celtic Art, Impressionism, cartography, John Audubon's prints and
watercolors. Cultural and folk art projects drew upon American, European,
Native -American, Russian and Japanese sources, and involved distinctive
techniques and imagery.
Numerous literary -inspired projects and some integrating concepts of
math and science continued throughout the year, again with Barbara Olson's
excellent planning. Students created representational as well as non-
representational art work, explored many techniques and used a variety of
media in these endeavors.
The Middle School Art program continued to flourish under the talented
direction of both Don Latham and Floreen Maroncelli. Their students are
excellent role models for enhancing the visual and emotional climate of the
school building through their creative efforts. Fourteen students exhibited
their works in the Town Hall, twenty-five creative pieces were enjoyed by
many in the Senior Center, and eighteen wall creations were displayed in the
Superintendent's Conference Room. Students are regularly encouraged to take
risks in expressing themselves artistically and expected to appreciate their
own creative abilities while respecting diversity of talents among others.
73
At the high school level, Cathleen Calmer joined this growing
department, in a part-time capacity, to provide instruction to the newly
reinstated photography class.
This was the first year of the highly successful interdisciplinary
course, "American Thought," that integrated (during a ninety -minute block of
time) history, literacy and art to a group of Juniors. Using a chronological
format, students explored how history literacy and art are related and how
they each influence the other. The dedicated instructors are: Pat Maloney -
Brown, John Strobel and Joel Groessel.
The entire staff of this multi -talented department is making accelerated
progress with interdisciplinary units and activities. The teaching of these
excellent instructors expands in rich dimensions with the application of
Howard Gardner's "Seven Multiple Intelligences", and teachers are seeing
evidence of much student learning occurring across all our schools in
North Andover.

Music
It is a pleasure to present my second report as Lead Music Teacher,
which reflects a further reinstatement of the total music program in the
North Andover Public Schools.
After a search which lasted most of the past school year, an outstanding
choral teacher, Susan Roderick, was hired for the high school chorus, voice
and keyboard classes. Since she happens to be a fine French horn player, she
is doing fifth grade instrumental music teaching at the Atkinson and Franklin
Schools as well as two overflow vocal classes at the Kittredge School.
With the departure of Stephen Elman to teach full time in Hull, we were
able to reinstate the Middle School General Music program with an experienced
vocal and instrumental music teacher, Tom Walters, who had taught previously
for fourteen years in New Hampshire. Tom has taken over both the band and
chorus at the Middle School and has organized a new eighth grade jazz
ensemble.
Jean Twombly continues as a part-time vocal teacher at the Kittredge and
Atkinson Schools. Her recorder work with the third graders during the past
year was exemplary. Also, new during the second semester last year was
Norma Casserta, who has continued this year as a long-term substitute far
Mary Healey at the Franklin School. Her expertise in dance and movement has
added a wonderful new dimension to the elementary music classes. Mary Snyder
continues as the vocal music specialist at Atkinson, Bradstreet and Early
Childhood Center. Her "Bach to the Future" production at the Atkinson School
74
last spring for a capacity audience of parents was an expressive musical
performance by a large cast of students,
Marilyn Savory has continued her vocal teaching at Thomson and Kittredge
Schools and has virtually single-handedly reestablished the fifth grade
instrumental music program with about 160 beginners.
During the past year, the Lead Music Teacher has continued directing
both the high school band, marching and concert, as well as the high school
choir. In addition, he taught all of the instrumental lessons at the Middle
School and at the Hiah School as well as at the Atkinson School, Be also
directed the Middle School Band at two concerts and a competition festival.
Be served as co-director, musical director, and set director for the play,
"The Little Foxes," in the fall and the musical, "Once Upon A Mattress," in
the spring. He is currently serving as technical advisor for the Shakespeare
play, "Midsummer Night's Dream," and will produce another musical this
spring, featuring a large cast, crew and student pit orchestra. He is also
currently teaching the high school guitar and electronic music classes.
In the Curriculum Day meetings during Lhe past year, the music staff has
continued to examine: budget needs and priorities; schedules and staffing;
the instructional versus the performance program in music; and specific
issues regarding the new instrumental music program, compositional approach
at the Middle School, as well as interdisciplinary teaching as it applies to
the music teacher at all levels. Curriculum projects under consideration for
the current school year include: (1) the Instrumental Music Curriculum
Guide, (2) refinement of the Middle School General Music Curriculum Guide,
(3) Curriculum Guides for high school courses, such as: Electronic Music,
Guitar, Keyboard and Voice classes and (4) elementary satellite programs for
investigating interdisciplinary teaching, inclusion and collaboration and
teaching and learning styles.
The North Andover Public Schools continues its cooperative relationship
with the Boston Conservatory of Music in providing private lessons on all
instruments by master teachers. The tuition program is available for all
area students and adults. Information about the program can be obtained by
calling Ed Scibillia at (617) 536-6340.
The following is a list of awards, competitions, festivals, honor groups
and .oerformances oarticipated in by the Music Department:

School Libraries
Elementary
As the elementary enrollment continues to increase, so do the stresses
placed on the elementary library program. The reinstatement of a half-time
library assistant in November certainly helped in this regard. However, the
bottom line is that an itinerant library staff cannot consistently provide
the timely, responsive library service that is integral to learner -centered
education. Despite this serious limitation, we can look back over the past
school year and see a measure of progress as we strive to foster the
attitudes and skills essential for lifelong learning.
Thanks to many donations of books via the PTO Special Occasion Book
Program, the collection at the Bradstreet ECC Library has continued to grow
in both quantity and quality. Also, several interdisciplinary projects were
successfully coordinated between the library staff and art teachers.
The flexible schedule piloted by fifth graders at Atkinson in 1992-93
was extended and refined in 1993-94. In fact, the independent research
blocks were so successful that on occasion there were more student
researchers than the library could accommodate. Also by midyear, fifth
graders were interested in accessing the library for independent work,
especially with the electronic encyclopedia, far more frequently than was
feasible due to restrictions of space and time.
At Franklin, a survey of library users taken in April indicated that
students wanted more up-to-date materials, as well as more opportunities to
access the library. Classroom schedules and a set schedule of weekly library
classes often prevented students from using the library or receiving timely
reference support from the librarian who was not there full-time. The survey
also indicated that students are interested in having a computerized catalog.
While automation of the school libraries is still in the future, the
librarian did help introduce students to telecommunications via a trial
77
subscription to America On-line. Students and their parents really got
involved in the History Game On-line. their enthusiasm is an indication of
how the information highway can serve as a road to lifelong learning.
At Kittredge, a research block was established on Mondays and Fridays so
that a class of fourth graders could pursue, in small groups in the library,
the research extensions which are part of the reading program. A parent
volunteer covered the Friday block since the librarian was scheduled to be in
another building.
At Thomson, a flexible block was piloted on Tuesday afternoons. The
fifth grade and one second grade shared this open time. Fifth graders,
working on projects, moved back and forth between their classroom and the
library as their work dictated. The second graders came in small groups
(rather than as a class of 25 in one-half hour slot) to select books. This
model for book selection worked extremely well, since it allowed the
librarian time to provide each student with appropriate support for his/her
independent reading.
Clearly, collaborating with teachers to provide meaningful opportunities
for students to grow towards independence as readers and researchers will
continue to be the key challenge facing the library staff at the elementary
level.
In September, the library SARC was convened. We look forward to the
work of this committee as a way of addressing not only this challenge, but
also the critical issues of integrating technology and implementing
strategies that will allow our students to deal effectively with information
in the 21st century. Since the Director of Stevens Memorial Library and a
librarian from Phillips Academy are both members of this SARC, we also have a
wonderful opportunity to explore both the school/public library and broader
network connections.
In closing, it seems appropriate to thank all our students and their
families for supporting the elementary schools' fundraising efforts on behalf
of the Stevens Memorial Library Building Fund. Whether it be school, public,
or network, the library connection is a critical one for all of us.
Middle School
The North Andover Middle School Library serves to enhance and support
the education and lives of the students of the school. The library's role
increases in importance with the ever-increasing expansion of knowledge;
since no one can teach or even try to learn more than a fraction of all there
is to know, tomorrow's citizens will need to know how to locate and use the
information, and will need to be familiar with technological advances to do
so Since only a part of the population has access to the technology at
home, the library's role will be to provide access to all. It becomes
crucial that every child is comfortable and competent in a library setting.
Middle school library technology, though spare, was still a major
drawing point. Regular use of Infotrac, an automated periodical index, began
78
this year, while use of the Academic American Encyclopedia on CD ROM
increased as well, to the point where the great majority of the school
population is familiar with the CD ROM programs. Students of all interests
and abilities love to use these, and many whose interests are not academic
will do assignments they would not otherwise do, or even sit at the computers
to browse and learn all sorts of information. Infotrac is very user friendly
and, in fact, easier to use than the alternative source in print form,
Reader's Guide to Periodical Literature. Students are very unhappy if, for
some reason, a research computer is down. Youngsters who do not take a
foreign language often spend study hall time in the library and become
computer experts, ready and willing to teach their fellow students the finer
points of their research skills.
One continuous goal of the middle school library has been to attract
students and teachers with their classes. Over a period of years,
curriculum -related usage has increased many fold, to the point where now,
almost all teachers bring classes to the library for research at least
sometime during the year. Newer teachers brought their drama, creative
problem solving, and foreign language classes frequently,

A highlight of the year was the Trivial Pursuit Research Contest held in

Collection Development
A thorough weeding of the 300's, 500's, 600's (social science, science
and technology) and a superficial weeding of the 900's and 800's (history and
literature), turned up 1,010 out-of-date, inaccurate and otherwise useless
volumes. This year, we added approximately 40'0 new titles. Though this is
an improvement from last year, it is far from adequate.
Newsbank
Users of Newsbank continue to grow among both students and faculty. We
will be adding an additional work station in the fall.
Inventory
For the third year in a row, an inventory was not taken due to lack of
personnel. In order to do a proper inventory, the library should be
automated so we can determine what is missing and evaluate the effectiveness
of the security system. The collection is leaner but more current, due to
weeding, and all volumes are in perfect, shelf -list order.
Audio -Visual
New equipment included four overhead projectors and one VCR. Funds had
to be diverted from other areas in order to accomplish this. This continues
to be underfunded. For many years we have had no funds for A.V. supplies;
i.e., lamps, overhead supplies, equipment accessories, etc., so other funds
are depleted to furnish these items.
Personnel
Cathy Ratcliffe was a wonderful new addition to the library, both in
helping the library to run efficiently and in assisting students and faculty.
Shakespeare & Company Residency
The three-week residency was a tremendous success and the follow-up
activities in the spring further enhanced the experience. A ten -week
residency will take place next fall and, pending funding, Shakespeare &
Company will direct the fall production, "A Midsummer Night's Dream." Six
9th and 10th grade classes will participate in the residency for four weeks
each. The play will be open to all students. Again, there will be follow-up
activities in the spring.
Community Programs
Community Programs, which operates in its entirety on a user fee basis,
again offered six programs to the students and adults of North Andover with
our three-day care programs servicing 183 families, increasing in both
numbers and scope of services.
80
The Breakfast Club, our early morning care for students in grades K-5
located at the Kittredge, provided a variety of breakfasts, games and
transportation to individual schools for 57 families. Kids' Stop!, our after
school program held at Middle School, serviced 78 families and offered
library trips, "Y" swimming lessons, ceramics, and cooking classes in
addition to the daily schedule of crafts, creative play and homework time.
Extended Kindergarten, located this year at the Atkinson Annex, doubled
enrollment to 48 families and held morning and afternoon sessions, thus
enabling working parents to have their children attend school on a full day
schedule.
Curriculum days provided us the opportunity to offer field trips to our
students, with a minimum of 50 attending trips to New England Alive!, Drumlin
Farm, Academy Lanes and the Science Discovery Museum.
Child care for 69 children was also offered to the citizens of North
Andover without charge as a service to parents to allow them the opportunity
to participate in May's annual Town Meeting sessions.
Community enrichment was offered to students and adults through our
EXCEL and Adult Education Programs. A total of 543 students participated in
courses such as Wonders of the Rain Forest, Gingerbread Houses, Skiing, and
Floor Hockey. A new foreign language affiliation enabled 42 elementary
students to learn French or Spanish, while 79 high school students
participated in the new, on campus, complete Driver Ed course.
Adult Education offered 21 courses this year, but of the actual courses
run, the most popular were computers and ballroom dancing.
Summer School provided academic remediation and re -enforcement courses
for elementary, middle and high school students, with 106 participating this
year. Summer sports camps were again popular, as was the new "Week on
Wheels", with a total of 226 students participating in our recreational
programs.

II. Buildings & Facilities
The 1993-1994 school year was a year of new beginnings in the Business
Services Department. In September, the Director Management Support Services
was hired. This appointment was followed by the appointment of a new
Operations and Maintenance Supervisor in October. The most significant of
all new beginnings was the signing of a construction contract between the
North Andover School Building Committee and P.J. Stella Construction Company
of Wakefield, Massachusetts for the construction of the Annie L. Sargent
Elementary School. The contract, which was signed in October, was for
$7,383,000.
Despite the hard winter, progress was made to support steel erection the
end of May, 1994. This project is on budget and the School Department is
planning for classes to begin in September of 1995.
The subject of barrier free access to all our buildings was called to
your attention in our last annual report. A corrective action plan was
developed and presented in our Fiscal Year '95 C.I.P. Budget. If you recall,
the Superintendent described Phase One of our Compliance Plan as bringing one
school at the elementary, middle, and high school levels into full compliance
with ADA requirements. Phase one requires ADA work to be accomplished at the
Bradstreet School, Franklin School, Middle School and High School at a total
estimated cost of $189,400.
The litigative process between DANCO Roofing and the Town of
North Andover continued throughout the school year. DANCO failed to complete
its obligation to reroof the Middle School under a September, 1992, contract.
We moved closer to a settlement and do expect to enter into a Construction
Contract Takeover Agreement with the surety insurance company in the fall of
1994. The new fire alarm system which was installed at the Middle School was
successfully completed and a Certificate of Completion issued on
82
February 3, 1994. Attention was also given to an alarm system upgrade at the
High School. This project included the installation of control pads and a
number of passive infrared sensors.
The year of new beginnings included the development of a comprehensive
maintenance and repair program. In addition to the major projects which were
completed, we pressed on with many general maintenance and upkeep projects.
Some examples of the kinds of projects that we initiated were: replacement
of resilient flooring and carpeting; replacement of exterior doors at many
schools; general maintenance of all heating, ventilating and air conditioning
systems; and more scheduled inspections of all of our schools for safety
purposes.

Wow! The 1993-94 school year met all of my expectations and more. I am
proud of the administration and staff that made the school year a great
success. The overall participation in the school lunch program increased by
4%, the largest increase in participation over the past three years. Total
revenue in the program increased by a surprising 10.2% breaking the budgeted
sales and revenue plan presented at the beginning of the school year. The
increases can be attributed to menu changes. The consistent use of
government commodities and careful management of inventory made the net
income double over last year.
Interviews, surveys and student interaction helped make nutrition an
important and growing aspect of the food service program. In conclusion, I
have enjoyed serving the school lunch program and the school administration
over the past four school years. I am happy that we have been able to make
positive changes in nutrition, while maintaining a financially sound program.
Good luck to the new Food Service Director!
Respectfully submitted,
Maria E. Messina,
Food Service Director
Conclusion
The growth in enrollment described in the beginning of the school system
report will continue. There will be this change, however; the real increases
in the number of students which we have been experiencing at our elementary
level in the past few years will begin to reach our middle school. With an
enrollment during the 1993-94 school year of just under 800 students at cur
middle school, we are heading toward an enrollment of approximately 1100
students within the next five or six years. That enrollment increase,
coupled with program improvements, will require a significant expansion and
renovation of our existing middle school. We are looking forward to the
opportunity that a renovated and expanded facility will present.
It would be inappropriate for me to close this report without extending
my congratulations and thanks to the hundreds of citizens who volunteer in
our schools each week. Their selfless service to high school children
substantially enriches our students' experiences. All of us are the richer
for their contributions.

NORTH ANDOVER SCHOOL BUILDING COMMITTEE
The North Andover School Building Committee is pleased to submit the
annual report for Fiscal Year 1994. In October, 1993, the committee received
six bids for the construction of our long-awaited new Elementary school on
the Calzetta Farm Site off of Johnson Street, now known as the
Anne L. Sargent School. The following bids were received:
General Contractor Bid Amount
1. Stella Construction, P.S. $ 7,383,000
2, Granger, R.W. 7,417,000
3. Eastern Contractors, Inc. 7,427,000
4 Charles Construction 7,498,000
5. JP Construction 7,772,000
As evident from the close bidding, the Board is confident that the
bidding process has afforded the Town the best possible price. (The
differential between the lowest three bids was $ 44,000, or less than 6/10
of 1%). After further negotiation and a review of each contractors
performance and payment bonds, the contract was awarded to the lowest,
eligible, responsible bidder, P.J. Stella of Wakefield, Massachusetts, for
the contracted sum of $ 7,383,000.
To insure that the project would be constructed in accordance with the
plans and specifications, the Building Committee retained the services of
both a Clerk of the Works and a Project Manager. Although a Clerk of Works
is common on larger jobs, the reliance upon a professional Project Manager is
less customary. Several firms for this position were interviewed. The
Committee awarded the contract to Municipal Consultants, Inc., a local North
Andover fine with many years of municipal construction experience.
To date, construction of the school is approximately 70a complete and
well within the projected budget. Completion and delivery of the building is
anticipated for the end of June, 1995. This will allow adequate time for any
unforeseen delays, as well as sufficient time to furnish and install
equipment before the start of the school year in September, 1995.
With regard to other business, the Committee has selected the firm
DiNisco Kretsch, & Assoc. to perform the architectural design services for
the renovation and expansion of the Middle School. Regular meetings are held
with the Building Committee, educators, and members of the School
Administration to ensure that the project design will meet the long-term
educational requirements of Grades 6 - 8.
In closing, we would like to thank all North Andover residents, members
of the Town boards, and Town department employees for their continued support
and cooperation in the development and construction of the much-needed
86
Anne L. Sargent School. We are pleased to report that the Anne L. Sargent
School is on schedule and within the planned budget.

Independent Auditors' Report
The Board of Selectmen
Town of North Andover, Massachusetts:
We have audited the general purpose financial statements of the Town of North Andover,
Massachusetts, as of and for the year ended June 30, 1994, as listed in the accompanying table of
contents. These general purpose financial statements are the responsibility of the Town's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these general purpose financial statements
based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and the Government
Auditintr Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require
that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the general purpose
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the general purpose financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management,
as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
The Town has not maintained records of the cost of its general fixed assets and, therefore, a general
fixed assets account group is not presented in the accompanying general purpose financial statements
as required by generally accepted accounting principles.
In our opinion, except that the omission of a general fixed asset group of accounts results in an
incomplete presentation, as discussed in the preceding paragraph, the general purpose financial
statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Town
of North Andover, Massachusetts, at June 30, 1994, and the results of its operations and cash flows
of its nonexpendable trust funds for the year then ended, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

(1) Reporting Entity
The Town of North Andover is governed by an elected five -member Board of Selectmen.
Generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") requires that the accompanying general
purpose financial statements present the Town of North Andover (the primary government)

Town had no component units.
The Town has entered into several joint ventures with other municipalities to pool resources and
share the costs, risks, and rewards of providing goods or services to venture participants
directly, or for the benefit of the general public or specified service recipients. The following

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Basis of Presentation
The financial condition and results of operations of the Town's funds are presented as of and for
the year ended June 30, 1994. The accounting policies of the Town conform with generally
accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), except that the Town does not maintain, and
therefore does not report, a general fixed assets account group in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles. Such a departure from GAAP is permissible under the
Massachusetts Uniform Municipal Accounting System.
(b) Fund Accounting
The operations of the Town are recorded in the following fund types and account group:
• Governmental Fund Tvoes
Governmental funds are used to account for the Town's expendable financial resources
and related liabilities (except those accounted for in nonexpendable trust funds). The
measurement focus is upon determination of changes in financial position. The following
are the Town's governmental fund types:
General Fund - The general fund is the general operating fund of the Town. It is
used to account for all financial resources except those required to be accounted for in
another fund.
(Continued)
1.54
TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER, MASSACHUSETTS
Notes to General Purpose Financial Statements
Special Revenue Funds - Special revenue funds are used to account for the proceeds
of specific revenue sources (other than expendable trusts or major capital projects)
that are legally restricted to specified purposes.
Capital Proiect Funds - Capital project funds are used to account for financial
resources to be used for the acquisition or construction of major capital facilities
(other than those financed by trust funds).
• Fiduciary Fund Types
Trust and Agency Funds - Fiduciary funds are used to account for assets held by the
Town in a trustee capacity or as an agent. Trust funds include expendable trust funds and
nonexpendable trust funds. Expendable trust funds are accounted for similar to
governmental funds. Nonexpendable trust funds are accounted for similar to proprietary
funds, where the measurement focus is upon determination of net income and capital
rnaintenance. Agency funds are custodial in nature and do not involve measurement of
results of operations.
• Account Groun
General Lona -term Obligations Account Group - This account group is used to account
for all long-term obligations of the Town.
(c) Basis of Accounting
The modified accrual basis of accounting is followed by governmental funds, expendable trust
funds and agency funds. Under the modified accrual basis of accounting, revenues are
recorded when they become measurable and available to pay liabilities of the current period.
Revenues not considered available are recorded as deferred revenues. Expenditures are
recorded when the liability is incurred except for (1) interest on general long-term
obligations, which is recorded when due, and (2) the noncurrent portion of accrued vacation
leave, which is recorded in the general long-term obligations account group.
In applying the susceptible to accrual concept to intergovernmental revenues, there are essentially
two types of revenues. In one, moneys must be expended on the specific purpose or project
before any amounts will be paid to the Town; therefore, revenues are recognized based upon
the expenditures incurred. In the other, moneys are virtually unrestricted and are usually
revocable only for failure to comply with prescribed compliance requirements. These
resources are reflected as revenues at the time of receipt or earlier if the susceptible to accrual
criteria are met.
Property taxes are recognized as revenue in the year for which taxes have been levied, provided
they are collected within 60 days after year-end. Licenses and permits, fines and forfeitures,
and miscellaneous revenues are recorded as revenues when received in cash because they are
generally not measurable until actually received. Investment earnings are recorded as earned.
The accrual basis of accounting is used by nonexpendable trust funds.

TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER, MASSACHUSETTS
Notes to General Purpose Financial Statements
(d) Encumbrances and Continuing Appropriations
Encumbrance accounting, under which purchase orders, contracts, and other commitments for
the expenditure of funds are recorded in order to reserve that portion of the applicable
appropriation, is employed in governmental funds. Open encumbrances at year-end are
reported as reservations of fund balances. Encumbrances do not constitute expenditures or
liabilities, except for budgetary purposes (see note 4).
Certain unexpended and unencumbered appropriations for uncompleted projects are carried over
to succeeding years. Such continuing appropriations are accounted for similar to
encumbrances.
(e) Accrued Vacation
Employees are granted vacation in varying amounts. Upon retirement, termination or death,
certain employees are compensated for unused vacation (subject to certain limitations) at their
then current rates of pay. The amount of vacation costs which are not due and payable is
recorded in the general long-term obligations account group. The amount recorded is the
unused days earned at the current rate of pay.
(f) Self -Insurance
The Town has established self-insured medical programs which are accounted for in the general
fund. Both employees and the Town contribute to the programs based upon a 65% (Town)
and 35% (Employee) primary care formula for the Blue Cross Master Health Plus program
and 88% (Town) and 12% (Employee) for the Blue Cross HMO Blue program. The HMO
Blue program switched from premium paying to being a self-funded program in March 1994.
The Town carries insurance on individual medical claims in excess of $50,000 annually. The
purpose of this program is to pay medical claims of the Town's employees and their covered
dependents. The Town accrues for claims incurred for medical services rendered prior to
June 30, 1994.
(g) Total Columns
Total columns on the general purpose financial statements are captioned "Memorandum only" to
indicate that they are presented only to facilitate financial analysis. Data in these columns do
not present financial position, results of operations or changes in financial position in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Such data are not comparable to a
consolidation since interfund eliminations have not been made.
(h) Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications were made to the 1993 general fund financial information to he
consistent with the current year presentation.
(3) Property Taxes
Real and personal property taxes are based on values assessed as of each January 1 and are due
in quarterly installments. By law, all taxable property in the Commonwealth must be
assessed at 100% of fair cash value. Taxes due and unpaid after the respective due dates are
subject to interest and penalties. The Town has an ultimate right to foreclose on property for
which taxes have not been paid. Property taxes levied are recorded as receivables in the
fiscal year of the levy.
(Continued)
156
TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER, MASSACHUSETTS
Notes to General Purpose Financial Statements
A statewide tax limitation statute known as "Proposition 2-1/2" limits the property tax levy to an
amount equal to 2-1/2% of the value of all taxable property in the Town. A secondary
limitation is that no levy in a fiscal year may exceed the preceding year's allowable tax levy
by more than 2-1/2%, plus taxes levied on certain property newly added to the tax rolls. In
1993, Proposition 2-1/2 was overridden by a Town -wide referendum vote.
(4) Budgetary Basis of Accounting
The Town must establish its property tax rate each year so that the resulting property tax levy will
comply with the limits required by Proposition 2-1/2 and also constitute that amount which
will equal the sum of (a) the aggregate of all annual appropriations for expenditures and
transfers, plus (b) provision for the prior fiscal year's deficits, if any, less (c) the aggregate
of all nonproperty tax revenue and transfers projected to be received by the Town, including
available surplus funds.
The budgets for all departments and operations of the Town, except that of public schools, are
prepared under the direction of the Town Manager who presents the budget to the Board of
Selectmen. The School Department budget is prepared under the direction of the School
Committee. Original and supplemental appropriations are acted upon by Town Meeting vote.
All General Fund functions are budgeted. The budget is prepared on a basis other than generally
accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). The "actual" results column of the Statement of
Revenues and Expenditures - Budgetary Basis is presented on a "budget basis" to provide a
meaningful comparison with the budget. The major differences between the budget and
GAAP bases are that:
(a) Budgeted revenues are recorded when cash is received, except for real estate and personal
property taxes, which are recorded as revenue when levied (budget), as opposed to when
susceptible to accrual (GAAP).
(b) Encumbrances and continuing appropriations are recorded as the equivalent of expenditures
(budget), as opposed to a reservation of fund balance (GAAP).
The following reconciliation summarizes the differences between budget and GAAP basis
accounting principles for the year ended June 30, 1994:

(5) Cash and Investments
State and local statutes place certain limitations on the nature of deposits and investments
available to the Town. Deposits (including demand deposits, term deposits and certificates of
deposit) in any one financial institution may not exceed certain prescribed levels without
collateralization by the financial institutions involved. Investments can also be made in
securities issued by or unconditionally guaranteed by the U.S. government or agencies that
have a maturity of less than one year from the date of purchase, repurchase agreements
guaranteed by the U.S. government or agencies that have a maturity of less than one year
from the date of purchase, repurchase agreements guaranteed by such securities with maturity
dates of no more than 90 days from the date of purchase, and units in the Massachusetts
Municipal Depository Trust ("MMDT").
Deposits
The following summary presents the amount of Town deposits which are fully insured or
collateralized with securities held by the Town or its agent in the Town's name (Category 1),
those deposits which are collateralized with securities held by the pledging financial
institution's trust department or agent in the Town's name (Category 2) and those deposits
which are not collateralized (Category 3) at June 30, 1994.

Investments
The Town categorizes investments according to the level of risk assumed by the Town. Category
1 includes investments that are insured, registered or held by the Town's agent in the Town's
name. Category 2 includes uninsured and unregistered investments held by the counterparty's
trust department or agent in the Town's name. Category 3 includes uninsured and unregistered
investments held by the counterparty, its trust department or its agent, but not in the Town's
name. Investments in pooled funds are not categorized.
At June 30, 1994, the Town had non-categoriezed pooled investments with a carrying amount of
$2,964,000 (market $2,964,000). One hundred percent of the Town's pooled investments are
represented by the Town's deferred compensation plan (see note 13).
The composition of the Town's bank recorded deposits and investments fluctuates depending
primarily on the timing of real estate tax receipts, proceeds from borrowings, collections of
state and federal aid, and capital outlays throughout the year.

(6) Pension Plan
(a) Plan Description
The Town provides retirement benefits to employees through a contributory retirement system
administered by the Essex County Retirement System ("System"), a cost-sharing, multiple -
employer public employee retirement system. Each participating employer's share of the total
annual contribution is determined on the basis of active payroll. The Town's payroll for
employees covered by the System for the year ended June 30, 1994 was $7,059,254; the
Town's total payroll was $18,959,788. Public school teachers are covered by the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts Teachers' Retirement System ("TRS"), to which the Town
of North Andover, Massachusetts, does not contribute. The Town's payroll for teachers
covered by the TRS for the year ended June 30, 1994, was $10,143,688.
The System and the TRS are contributory defined benefit plans covering all Town employees and
teachers deemed eligible. The System is a member of the Massachusetts Contributory
System and is governed by Chapter 32 of the Massachusetts General Laws (MGL).
Membership in the System and the TRS is mandatory immediately upon the commencement
of employment for all permanent, full-time employees.
Both systems provide for retirement allowance benefits up to a maximum of 80% of a member's
highest three-year average annual rate of regular compensation. Benefit payments are based
upon a member's age, length of creditable service, level of compensation and group
classification. Members joining the System after January 1, 1979, were subject to a cap of
$30,000 on the level of compensation upon which their benefits were calculated. Effective
July 1, 1989, the $30,000 salary cap was removed.
Members of both systems become vested after 10 years of creditable service. A retirement
allowance may be received upon reaching age 65 or upon attaining 20 years of service. The
System also provides for early retirement at age 55 if the participant (1) has a record of 10
years of creditable service, (2) was on the Town payroll on January 1, 1978, (3) voluntarily
left Town employment on or after that date, and (4) left accumulated annuity deductions in
the Fund. Active members contribute either 5, 7 or 8% of their gross regular compensation
depending on the date upon which their membership began and certain employees contribute
an additional 2% over $30,000 of annual compensation. The Town is required to contribute
the remaining amounts necessary to pay benefits when due.
The systems also provide death and disability benefits.
The accounting records of the System are maintained on a calendar -year basis in accordance with
the standards and procedures established by the Commissioner of the Public Employee
Retirement Administration.
(b) Funding Status and Progress
The amount shown below as the "Pension Benefit Obligation" for the System is a standardized
disclosure measure of the present value of pension benefits, adjusted for the effects of
projected salary increases and step -rate benefits, estimated to be payable in the future as a
result of employee service to date. The measure is intended to help users assess the funding
status of the System on a going -concern basis, assess progress made in accumulating
sufficient assets to pay benefits when due and make comparisons among employers. The
measure is the actuarial present value of credited projected benefits and is independent of the
funding method used to determine contributions to the System.
(Continued)
159
TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER, MASSACHUSETTS
Notes to General Purpose Financial Statements
The pension benefit obligation was computed as part of an actuarial valuation performed as of
January 1, 1992. Significant actuarial assumptions used in the valuation include (a) a rate of
return on the investment of present and future asscts of 8% a year compounded annually and
(b) projected salary increases of 5.5% a year compounded annually, attributed to inflation.
The total unfunded pension benefit obligation applicable to the System was $78,518,000 at
January 1, 1992 (date of most recent valuation), as follows (in thousands):
Pension benefit obligation:
Retirees and beneficiaries currently receiving benefits and terminated
employees not yet receiving benefits $ 64,165
Current employees:
Accumulated employee contributions, including allocated investment
earnings 28,692
Employer -financed vested 33,278
Employer -financed nonvested 13,308
Total pension benefit obligation 139,443
Net assets available for benefits, at market value 60,925
Unfunded pension benefit obligation $ 78 518
(c) Contribution Requirements and Contribution Made
The System assesses participating employers for their share of pension benefits (less certain
interest credits) expected to be paid during the year ("pay-as-you-go" method). This amount
is determined in advance by the Public Employee Retirement Administration (PERA) and is
based in part on the previous year's benefit payout. No actuarial information is used in
determining this amount. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts currently reimburses the
System on a quarterly basis for the portion of benefit payments owing to cost -of -living
increases granted after the implementation of Proposition 2-1/2.
The Town's contribution to the System was $1,059,949 (15% of covered payroll) and the
employees contributed $495,905 (7% of covered payroll) for a total contribution of
$1,555,854 in 1994. The Town's contribution represents approximately 14% of System-
wide employer contributions for that calendar year.
(d) Trend Information
Trend information showing the System's progress in accumulating sufficient assets to pay
benefits when due is required by GAAP to be included in the System's annual financial
report. It is not known whether that report will contain the required historical trend
information.

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts has approved school construction assistance to the Town.
The assistance program which is administered by the School Building Assistance Bureau
(SBAB) provides funds for future debt service of general obligation school bonds
outstanding. These resources are subject to annual appropriation by the state legislature and
the Town's compliance with certain reporting requirements. During 1994, the Town
received no such assistance.
The Town is subject to a dual level general debt limit; the normal debt limit and the double debt
limit. Such limits are equal to 5% and 10%, respectively, of the valuation of taxable property
in the Town as last equalized by the Commonwealth's Department of Revenue. Debt may be

authorized up to the normal debt limit without state approval. Authorizations under the
double debt limit, however, require the approval of the Commonwealth's Emergency Finance
Board. Additionally, there are many categories of general obligation debt which are exempt
from the debt limit but are subject to other limitations.
Authorized and unissued debt at June 30, 1994, is as follows:
Water and sewer

obligation debt under the normal debt limit. The Town has approximately $13,590,400 of
debt exempt from the debt limit.
The Town pays assessments which include debt service payments to other local governmental
units providing services within the Town's boundaries (commonly referred to as overlapping
debt). The primary overlapping debt relates to Massachusetts Refusetech Inc. (operator of
refuse facility that serves the North East Solid Waste Committee communities), Greater
Lawrence Sanitary District and the Merrimack Valley Regional Transit Authority. The

• Capital project costs incurred prior to obtaining permanent financing through issuance of
bond anticipation notes (BANs)
• Federal and state aided capital projects and other program expenditures prior to receiving
reimbursement through issuance of federal and state aid anticipation notes (FAANs and
SAANs)
Temporary loans are general obligations of the Town and carry maturity dates which are Limited

(12) Post -Employment Benefits
In addition to providing pension benefits, the Town provides the majority of retired employees
with payments for a portion of their health care. These benefits are provided through several
health care providers. Benefits paid by the Town are on a "pay-as-you-go" basis, and there
is no actuarial valuation available as of June 30, 1994, which would permit an estimation of
the unfunded past service cost liability, the future costs of current participants in the plan.
The estimated annual amounts needed to fund such costs are approximately $324,000.
(13) Deferred Compensation Plan
The Town has a deferred compensation plan created in accordance with Section 457 of the
Internal Revenue Code. The plan, available to all Town employees, permits them to defer a
portion of their current salary to future years. The deferred compensation is not available to
participants until termination, retirement, death or unforeseeable emergency.
In accordance with Section 457 of the Internal Revenue Code, all amounts of compensation
deferred under the plan, all property and rights purchased with such amounts, and all income
attributable to such amounts, property, or rights are (until made available to the employee or
other beneficiary) solely the property and rights of the Town (without being restricted to the
provisions of benefits under the plan) subject only to the claims of the Town's general
creditors.

and only in an amount equal to the fair market value of the deferred account maintained with
respect to each participant. Plan assets have been used for no purpose other than to pay
benefits. In addition, the Town believes that it is unlikely that it will use the assets to satisfy
the claims of general creditors in the future. The Town records the plan assets and the related
liability to plan participants as an agency fund.
The Town and its agent have no liability for losses under the plan, but do have the duty of care
that would be required of an ordinary prudent investor.
(14) Contingencies
There are several pending lawsuits in which the Town is involved. The Town's attorney
estimates that the potential claims against the Town not covered by insurance resulting from
such litigation would not materially affect the financial statements of the Town.
