FY 1990
AKNUAL REPORT
During the summer and early fall of 1989, your Board of Selectmen
continued to deal with ever present fiscal problems and working cooperatively
with both the School Committee and Advisory Board, brought forward a plan to
balance the Fiscal 1990 budget. The key elements of that plan included
recommending a reduction in Fiscal 1990 appropriations of $600,000, which was
shared equally by the schools and general government, and a general
Proposition 2 1/2 override for $1.2 million which the voters endorsed at a
special election in October of 1989.
At the May 1989, Annual Town Meeting, the Board of Selectmen was given a
directive to develop a five year operating plan for presentation at the next
Annual Town Meeting. That financial plan was developed by the Board of
Selectmen with the advice and assistance of the Town Manager and the Director
of Finance. The Board met with the School Committee and the Advisory Board
throughout the summer and the fall of 1989 and as a result of that process,
was able to develop a prioritized list of needed capital projects. In
developing that plan, the Board recognized current economic conditions as
well as legitimate competing needs of our children, seniors citizens,
employees and taxpayers. ~e plan, as formally adopted by the Board of
Selectmen, was presented to the Town at the Annual Town Meeting in May, 1990.
At that Town Meeting, the voters adopted the Board of Selectmen and Advisory
Board recommendations dealing with the most pressing capital needs including
architectural fees for the third fire station, constructing and equipping a
new elementary school at the Calzetta farm site, modifications and
renovations of the high school, constructing and equipping a new elementary
school at the Thomson School site, design fees for additions and renovations
to the Middle School and constructing an addition to the Stevens Memorial
Library. Town Meeting's approval of those projects was subject to exemption
of debt service from The limits of Proposition of 2 1/2 and in May, 1990, the
voters rejected the override request.
The Board began the process of preparing the for the Fiscal 1991 budget
in October, 1989, when it adopted a Budget Policy Statement. The statement,
as finally adopted, reflected the down-turn in general economic conditions
and accordingly, directed that the Fiscal 1991 budget reflect an increase of
no more than 2 1/2% over what had been appropriated for the previous Fiscal
Year. As the budgets began to work their way through the review process,
there was concern expressed that some of the revenue estimates were too
aggressive and indeed the funding for the full amount of the budgets would
not be realized. With that reservation, the budgets, as recommended by the
Board of Selectmen and the Advisory Board were adopted at Town Meeting in May
of 1990 with the understanding that should revenue estimates not materialize,
Town Meeting would subsequently be asked to reduce the appropriations.
Throughout Fiscal 1990, authorized projects associated with replacement
of water lines and the extension of a sewer line on Great Pond Road, as well
as redesign efforts associated with the Water Treatment Plant, were
completed. Town Meeting, in May of 1990, increased the appropriation for the
plant from $15,000,000 to $20,000,000. During the same period of time, the
plant's reimbursement from an approved State Grant increased from $4,790,000
to $7,790,000.
Selectman Charles A. Salisbury, after completing twelve years of service
to the Town of North Andover, chose not to seek re-election in March 1990 and
his position was filled with the election of Eric W. Bakerman. The Board
would like to express its appreciation to Mr. Salisbury, on behalf of the
citizens of North Andover, for his long, dedicated and faithful service to
the Town.
We wish to thank the loyal staff of the Town Manager's office for their
extra efforts throughout this fiscal year and express our gratitude to all
Town employees for their dedication and attention to municipal service.

ADVISORY BOARD
This year we continued our involvement in the joint effort which led to
the successful Proposition 2 1/2 operating override referendum in the fall of
1989.
In the hopes of making substantive progress on the issues raised during
the Annual Town Meeting in May 1989, and the Special Town Meeting in October,
1989, we continued our participation in the joint meetings with the Board df
Selectmen and the School Committee. The goal, set at the May, 1989, Town
Meeting, was to develop a Five Year Master Plan dealing with the issues
confronting the Town now and in the near future.
In the fall, a telephone survey was conducted to determine what the
citizens of North Andover considered to be the most pressing building needs
of the Town. From this arose a long process of refining and prioritizing.
The Advisory Board, though long a champion of adequate budgeting for capital
needs, objected to the single minded focus on the infrastructure. We felt
that these items could more properly be handled in the Capital Improvement
Plan, as established in the Town Charter. We felt that these meetings were
the proper forum for discussing the greater problems related to limited
revenue resources over the next five years, fiscal constraints, inflationary
pressures on operating budgets - particularly salaries and related costs.
However, our point of view did not prevail. Several projects were chosen to
be submitted to the Annual Town Meeting for funding subject to a successful
Proposition 2 1/2 debt exclusion override referendum. Though the questions
passed at Town Meeting, an all-inclusive ballot question was soundly
defeated. At a public meeting held in June, the Selectmen voted not to
resubmit the individual items for reconsideration for at least another year.
A lot of effort, no progress on the projects.
As we approached the Annual Town Meeting, no work had yet been done on
any other aspect of the Five Year Master Plan. At this point the Board of
Selectmen "dis-invited" the School Committee and the Advisory Board from
further active participation at the Saturday meetings because discussions
were taking up too much time, and that more progress could be made if they
worked alone. The finished plan was unveiled just prior to the Town Meeting
without any genuine input from the other Boards.
A lot of effort, a real opportunity missed.
The fiscal condition of the Town continued it decline. The
Stabilization Fund, intended to provide a source of funding for building and
major maintenance requirements, has been drained. The Overlay Reserve has
been brought to its lowest safe level. The Reserve Fund, intended to serve
as an emergency backup account for the entire Town, has been systematically
reduced from $250,000 a few years ago to $75,000. After successive years of
actual budget deficits the Free Cash account, the accumulative difference
between actual income and actual expenses, is negative. A previously
undisclosed favorable equity balance, the difference between what people owe
us and what we owe to others, was discovered - and immediately applied in its
entirety to the FY '90 budget overrun.
There is nothing left.
As ~Y '90 ends, we must confront the fact that we cannot continue both
to provide the services that the Town has come to expect and to keep property
taxes at their current level. We need to develop an effective long-range
strategy that balances revenue and expenses while rebuilding our necessary
reserves and providing for our capital needs. This requires the
participation of all the Town leaders.
This should have been done last summer.
This year Mary Lou Crafton, Paul Forte, Marry Larson, Don Rodgers and
Andrew Shipley joined our Board, providing us with a greater membership than
we have enjoyed in a while. However, two of our experienced mem'oers, Elliot
Katzman and Joe Gates, could not complete the year, and Paul Forte was not
able to stay on.

DIRECTOR'S REPORT
The following outline is designed to provide you with an overview of the
operations in the Division of Planning & Community Development which is
comprised of five offices Appeals, Building, Conservation, Health, and
Planning. Each office is responsible for working with the public and other
departments regarding land use and development related issues, as well as the
enforcement of state and local regulations pertaining to their areas of
expertise. The Division staff works closely with the Division's four
appointed boards - Appeals, Conservation, Health and Planning which hold one
or more public meetings a month where the public is encouraged to attend and
participate.
To help streamline the application and review process, the Town has
created a Technical Review Committee (TRC) to perform a preliminary review of
applications presented to the Planning Board. The Town Planner acts as the
liaison and coordinator for all projects presented before the TRC. Other
members of the TRC include representatives from the Fire and Police
Departments, and the Divisions of Public Works and Planning and Community
Development. Once input has been received from each TRC member, the
applicant can generally approach the Planning Board's public hearing process
with a higher degree of confidence in their project. The success of the TRC
has been far reaching for the applicant, staff and boards and is owed to the
mutual cooperation and participation in the process.

BO/kP, D OF APPEALS
The Board of Appeals held twelve regular meetings and three special
meetings. A total of fifty-five petitions were presented to the Board at
public hearings for variances, special permits, earth removal permits, party
aggrieved and plan reviews. After being presented to the ZBA at a public
hearing, thirty-nine were granted, ten were denied and six were withdrawn
without prejudice. Three extension requests were granted.
The majority of petitions in front of the Board were for relief from
frontage and area bylaw and setback relief. The Board received many requests
for family suites, conversions to multi-family dwellings and division of
lots.
The Board granted variances to deCastro/Nelson, AIA, for construction of
the First Calvary Baptist Church on the corner of Mass. Avenue and Chickering
Road and permission to move the present dwelling further back on the lot in
order to use it as a rectory. There was also a request for a special permit
to house a children's gymnasium in an I-1 district; this was denied for
public safety reasons.
The Board of Appeals hold regular meetings on the second Tuesday of each
month in the Selectmen's Meeting Room at 7:30 p.m. unless otherwise
advertised.
We wish to thank Augustine Nickerson for his many years of service on
the Board and wish him a happy retirement. The Selectmen appointed Anna
O'Connor as a regular member to the ZBA as of November 13, 1990. Presently
the Board is in need of two associate members.

CONSERVATION COMMISSION
The Conservation Commission is comprised of seven volunteer members
appointed by the Board of Selectman for three-year terms. The Conservation
Commission administers the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act and the
Town's Wetlands Protection Bylaw. These state and local laws help protect
the valuable natural resources of the Town of North Andover: rivers, ponds,
marshes, bogs, wet meadows, swamps and lands subject to flooding. Wetlands
are known to contribute to the following public health and safety interests:
* Protection of Public and Private Water Supply
* 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 in or near any wetland requires a permit
from the Conservation Commission. Public Meetings are held every two weeks
to review projects and hold public' hearings. The Conservation Office is
staffed by an administrator and a secretary to provide information and
assistance to residents regarding the Town's natural resources. The
Conservation Office is part of the Division of Planning and Community
Development,
In Fiscal Year 1990, the Commission held 25 meetings, 87 public
hearings. Twenty-three new Notices of Intent and 23 Requests for
Determination were filed. Also, 22 Orders of Condition were issued. The
Conservation Office also continued to monitor many of the nearly 200 projects
that had been under review in the previous 2 years. Also in Fiscal Year
1990, the Conservation Office:
* Prepared revisions of the Town's Watershed Protection District.
* Developed a Citizens Advisory Committee for the Mazurenko Farm
Conservation Area and began the process of drafting a Management
Plan for the Town's newest open space acquisition.
* Renewed the Merrimack River Boat Ramp project.
* Researched water quality issues and protection measures.
* Provided technical assistance to Town departments and citizens in
natural resource protection.
Our efforts for the coming year will be directed at improving the
watershed planning process, implementing a computer database of all permits
issued to facilitate environmental monitoring, completing the design phase
and initiating the construction of a boat ramp on the Merrimack River,
initiating a public education/awareness program, work with the Board of
Health to develop a system to track septic system maintenance and repair in
the watershed, and the improvement of communications between boards and
departments regarding the environmental review process~ The Conservation
Office will also begin the implementation of the Town's first open space
13
management plan - for the Mazurenko Farm and Raets Pond Conservation Areas.
This plan will be complete in early 1991 and will provide the Town with
guidance in the long-term management of this watershed property. Preparation
for the second plan, for Town Farm, will begin in early 1991 as well.
The Commission would like to thank former Commissioners Bill Sousa and
Debbie Moore for their dedicated service to the Conservation Commission and
the Town of North Andover. We would also like to thank Administrator Richard
Doucette for his ongoing efforts in wetlands protection, watershed planning
and land management. The Commission would like to welcome new members Don
Stanley, George Reich and Alison Brewster, as well as Carl Schoene who was
reappointed for another three-year term.

BOARD OF HEALTH
Budget cuts took their toll on the Health Department this past year,
Michael Graf, our senior sanitarian was laid off, leaving Stephanie Foley as
a full-time sanitarian and Grace Coupal as a part-time secretary to staff the
Department. One of Michael Graf's primary responsibilities before leaving
was the approval of septic system plans and the overseeing of construction of
new and rebuilt septic systems~ Although the number of new systems has
dropped off in the recent real estate slump, there are still some new systems
being built and there are always a number of system repairs that must be
dealt with. For this reason the Department hired a part-time sanitarian on a
consulting basis to handle septic system work. This arrangement will get us
by until such time as normal building returns.
Stephanie Foley has made great progress during the past year in
instituting a system of regular comprehensive food service establishment
inspections. The result of her work can be seen in the reduced number of
food related illness reported to the Department. During the past year, a new
program was established whereby each food service establishment was required
to send at least one employee to a food sanitation course sponsored by the
D~partment. This program has been very successful and is run at no cost to
the Town as the cost of the instructor and materials is covered by the fee
charged for the course.
14
Another victim of budget cuts is the Department's household hazardous
waste collection program. One collection day held in cooperation with the
Town of Andover was held but this will be the last until such time as 'more
money is available. The Department did purchase a bulk tank for the
collection of waste motor oil. The tank is located behind the fire station
on Main Street and is available to both Andover and North Andover residents
on specific days during the fair weather months. The fees charged to
residents who drop off oil cover the cost of having the tank periodically
pumped out so that there is no ongoing expense to the Town.
The Department ran a very successful influenza vaccination program at
the beginning of the flu season. This program provides free flu vaccine to
all senior citizens and any other Town residents who are either at high risk
of contracting the flu or who have medical problems that make a flu shot
advisable.
The coming year will be a challenge for the Department to provide
necessary services on a reduced budget.

PLANNING OFFICE
The Planning Office has noticed a decline in actual applications for
proposed development due to the nature of the economy during a recession
period. However, the development which has been proposed has been of a much
higher quality. The development community on a whole has been using a more
creative approach toward design which has had a direct result in lowering the
environmental impacts so commonly associated with new construction.
The slow down in construction has given the Planning staff an
opportunity to aggressively pursue some long-range planning projects. Some
of these projects include a Route 114 commercial development study, fine-
tuning of existing zoning regulations and cooperation with property owners in
an effort to finalize incomplete developments.

MAJOR ZONING MAP CHANGES - ANNUAL TOWN MEETING 1990
1. Rezoning of parcels along Route 114 from Village Residential to
Village Commercial (VR to VC) and Parcels along Brook Street from village
Residential and village to Residential 3.
The Planning staff has also been actively negotiating with property
owners and developers who have pending litigation issues with the Planning
Board~ The efforts to date have been extremely successful in that several
litigation issues have been resolved without the need to expend funds on
legal counsel. In every case, the Town has maintained the integrity of the
zoning by-law and held the concerns of protecting natural resources as a top
priority. These efforts have resulted in the preservation of sensitive
conservation land and allowed for construction of both single family
dwellings and commercial/retail space along Route 125~
To help streamline the application and review process, the Town has
created a Technical Review Committee (TRC) to perform a preliminary review of
applications presented to the Planning Board. Members of the TRC include the
Fire, Police, Health, Conservation, Public Works and Planning Departments.
Once input has been receiver from each member, the applicant can generally
approach the public hearing process with a higher degree of confidence. The
success of the TRC has been far reaching and has had such impact as reducing
cost of engineering and redesign which can also lengthen the amount of time
required for the public hearing itself.
16
The Planning Board and staff look forward to and appreciate your input.
We are trying to actively pursue all options afforded to the Town through
state and local agencies and look forward to continued support from the
community.

There were installed in 1989-1990 either wholly or partially, 46
services. The new and renewed water services equalled 362.4 miles of type
"k" copper service pipe. 258 new meters were installed, and 37 old meters
were repaired. Two fire hydrants broken off by cars were replaced and 22
water main or service leaks were repaired. Ail hydrants were inspected,
repaired and painted where necessary. The annual inspection of the 2,600
gate valves and valve boxes in the system were completed. The annual hydrant
flushing of the entire distribution system was completed in May~
Fluoridation has been completely maintained by the Public Works Department
and levels monitored by both ourselves and the State Department of
Environmental Engineering.
A semi-annual inspection of backflow prevention devices and check valves
between the public water supply and other sources of supply for industrial
and co,~nercial uses have been made by this Department as part of our cross-
connection monitoring program.
Construction contracts for replacement of water mains as part of the
Town's ongoing water distributing system rehabilitation program were
completed. McDonough Construction installed new twelve-inch water mains on
Beacon Hill Blvd., Elm Street, and Greene Street. J. Tropeano & Sons
installed new twelve-inch pipe on Main Street, Middlesex Street, Third
S~reet, and Herrick Road.
i8
Our staff and consultants are continuing to monitor our water
distribution system with an extensive and detailed Water Quality Management
Program in order to insure safe and potable drinking water. The program
includes sampling throughout the system, specific identification of bacterial
species beyond the parameters, continuous computing and analysis of all
collected data and a Giardia and Cryptosporidium testing program. These are
also organized programs for testing volatile organic compounds and THM's.
Construction of the Water Treatment Plant continued in accordance with
the revised schedule. The plant is anticipated to be on-line early in 1991.

ANIMAL INSPgGTOR
During the past fiscal year, I have inspected the animals and the
stabling conditions on three large beef and dairy farms, as well as two small
beef cattle farms. One farm was visited in order to comply with state
regulations for the importation of dairy and beef cattle. I also visited
five large horse stables in order to inspect the animals and general
conditions. Nineteen calls were made to inspect back yard horses, goats,
sheep and chickens. Health certificates were issued to the aforementioned
farms and premises.
Sixty-three dogs and cats were vaccinated for rabies at the annual
clinic at the Old Center Fire Station. Twelve dogs were quarantined as
rabies suspects.

CIVIL DEFENSE
This was another uneventful year for local emergencies requiring Civil
Defense participation. During this reporting period, we participated in a
National Security exercise on September 13, 1989. The was basically an
exercise of our communications capability and the Comprehensive Emergency
Management Plan (CEMP). Each participating co~nunity was asked to call out
the appropriate Town officials in the order contained in the CEMP. The
exercise lasted approximately seven hours and was called off at 1900 local
time. At the conclusion, we critiqued our performance and submitted a
critique sheet to Area 1 Headquarters advising what we determined were our
strengths and weaknesses. Our participation was successful, and we are happy
to report our community acquitted itself well and met the required response
criteria as defined in the CEMP. The Local Emergency Planning Committee
(LEPC), under the able chairmanship of Fire Chief William Dolan, continues to
meet and a Hazardous Material (HAZMAT) response plan has been developed for
our community.
North Andover is still eligible to receive federal matching funds for
50% of Civil Defense salaries and administrative expenses under FEMA. There
is still no active surplus property program offered.
27
We have overhauled our 220 MHz repeater power amplifier and are now
ready to go operational again on full power. We are awaiting installation of
our new 220 MHz antenna when a railing has been welded on the Boston Hill
tower to fasten our antenna to. We are grateful and deeply appreciative of
Mr. Benjamin Farnum~s civic mindedness and unselfish support of our local
Civil Defense in allowing us the use of his property on Boston Hill to locate
our repeater and antenna. By being located on this property, we always have
line of sight and our communications response posture has been greatly
enhanced. Also, our phone patch capability utilizing our hand held
transceivers renders us operational anywhere from within, to the outer limits
of our community on a 24-hour basis.
The RACES communicators meet to exercise our communications equipment on
a monthly basis with Mass. Civil Defense. Our Emergency Operations
Capability (EOC) radio equipment is exercised weekly. The following are
members of our RACES group: Mr. Joseph Sullivan, Jr. Communications Officer,
William Sherlock, Carlton Wilson, Douglas Wilson, Richard Slade, Leonard
Somers, Gerald Rowen, David Upton, and Edward Adams. Mr. Sullivan continues
to conduct local training classes annually to train individuals to qualify
for novice radio amateur licenses under the Federal Communications
Commission. Anyone interested in pursuing a license course should contact
Mr. Sullivan or the undersignedl
Our Auxiliary Police cadre continue to conduct vandalism patrols of all
Town facilities, public schools and playgrounds commanded by Sgt. Richard
Boettcher under the direction of Police Chief Richard Stanley. Chief Stanley
utilizes the services of this group when required as an extension of the
local police force when additional manpower assistance is required for
parades, crowd control, and Town functions. Chief Stanley and his local
force are most supportive of our Auxiliary Police group and our Civil Defense
efforts. The following are current members of the Auxiliary Police group
with Sgt. Richard Ci Boettcher in command: Patrolmen Joseph Sullivan, Jr.,
Daniel C. Cronin, Steven Broderick, Raymond D. McLean, Ms. C. Susan Northam,
Jay Staude and our newest addition James P. Roche.
Our RACES and Auxiliary Police volunteers contribute countless hours of
voluntary time annually to our community.
We continue our search for selective volunteers willing to devote time
to support Civil Defense either as Staff Officers, Communications Personnel,
(must possess a valid FCC license) or Auxiliary Police (must pass a
background investigation conducted by our local police department).
Consideration will be granted regardless of sex, race, or creed. The
undersigned may be contacted for information.
I wish to take this opportunity to thank all members of the various Town
boards and Town departments for the excellent support they render us each
year: The Honorable Board of Selectmen, Town Manager, Advisory Board, all
Town department heads and staffs, Police Chief Richard M. Stanley and his
department, Fire Chief William V. Dolan and his firefighters and EMT's, and
the Police and Fire Dispatchers. My personal thanks to Communications
Officer Joseph Sullivan, Jr., and all the communicators for their continuing
excellent support in all technical matters, Sgt. Richard Boettcher and the
28
Auxiliary Police force for their dedication to their mission in support of
their community. Also Mr. John J. Lyons for his able support of our Civil
Defense mission.
Respectfully Submitted,

Grand Total of Ail Activity Responses: 3327
The responses for Fiscal 90 were slightly less than that for Fiscal 89,
(3349 for YY 89 and 3327 for FY 90).
Due to budget restrictions the department did not appoint the two new
Fire Lieutenants in January, 90, nor were the other two Lieutenants who were
to commence in July of 90.
In comparison with the Department five years ago, there is one
firefighter for each 160 dwellings as compared to 136 in 1984, one
firefighter for each 441 residents as compared to 386 in 1984, and one
firefighter to every $39,377,350 of assessed property value as compared to
$12,804,533 in 1984. The level of fire protection has not kept pace with the
growth of the Town.
We fully understand the negative vote of the people regarding the
projects proposed during FY 89, including the third fire station
construction, but it is our duty to inform the people, as we have done, when
the level of protection is not adequate and that is the situation in the "out
country area". The Fire Department is here to serve the people, and we will
do so to the best of our ability.
Given the fiscal situation, the protection of the fire personnel and the
maintenance of the apparatus are given the top priorities.
During FY 90, the Department continued its effort to be proactive with
regards to the fire problem by providing active fire prevention activities,
public fire education, proper fire investigation and early intervention where
fire hazards could exist. Active participation with the Office of Community
and Development has allowed those the "building in" of fire safety, including
the installation of more residential fire suppression sprinkler systems~
The Department had one fire fatality in FY 90. Mr. Robert Smeesters
died as the result of burns received when his plane crashed and caught fire
October 5, 1989. This type of emergency affects all responders.
The Department is proud of the dedicated service of all of its employees
in meeting the needs of the public to fire, natural hazards, rescue,
ambulance, hazardous materials, community planning, fire prevention, public
education, permitting and dispatch response. It is your support which has
allowed, and will continue to allow us, to serve you. Thank you.

William V. Dolan, Fire Chief

POLICE DEPARTMENT
In 1990 the Police Department expended its Pedestrian Safety Program.
Areas that were targeted included school zone enforcement, high accident
areas were identified and enforcement teams continually monitored these hot
spots, Safety Officers gave instruction in schools concerning bus, bicycle
and pedestrian safety and continued enforcement and education in safety
issues in the downtown area increased. The result of these efforts
culminated in the American Automobile Association, Special Citation for
"Outstanding Pedestrian Program Activities", which is one of the highest
awards that a municipal agency can receive in these areas.
Through the holiday season, marked and unmarked patrols have been
stepped up in areas that have been especially susceptible to car breaks and
various thefts. Many arrests have been made resulting in a safer environment
for those wishing to conduct business or visit within North Andover.
The Police Department has many areas of concern, the most important are
Juvenile and Youth Services. The Department will try to continue to dedicate
personnel to such worthy programs as D.A.R.E., Drug Abuse Resistance
EducJtion Pr6gfam] which presents a nationally recognized comprehensive drug
awareness program to elementary grade~ school children.
Over the years the Town of North Andover has changed demographically.
The Department has attempted to be diversified in its approach to keep pace
with the changing needs of the Town. Hopefully, resources will continue to
be available to allow the Police Department to fulfill the goals and
objectives that have become an integral part of police service.

Fair Housing Plan and Fair Housing Committee
The Regional Housing Opportunity Strategy Plan which was funded through
the Executive Offices of Communities and Development for $44,000, was
reduced to $30,000. Work on the plan commenced in September, 1990, and
anticipated completion by June, 1990.
The basic approach to the implementation of the regional housing
strategy is to continue inter-municipal cooperation that the four
communities (North Andover, Methuen, Andover and Lawrence) have
demonstrated through their participation in the Regional Housing Fair
Share Plan Committee (RHFSPC). Cooperation includes coordination of
functions, sharing of resources, and prioritization of regional projects
to improve the affordability and accessibility of housing.
Participated in the RHFSPC sponsored housing information workshop held
in Methuen to provide information to the communities pertaining to
available financial programs through the Massachusetts Housing Finance
Agency, lenders requirements and the application process, home ownership
opportunities, and qualification guidelines.
The Fair Housing Committee continues to be coordinated by the Director
of the Division of Planning and Community Development, and attends all
PdRFSPC meetings. Mr. Luther Mcllwain, our Fair Housing Consultant
provides the community with updates on new legislation regarding fair
housing initiatives, available grants, and Massachusetts Commission
Against Discrimination (MCAD) compliance.

~ISSION ON DISABILITY
The North Andover Commission on Disability Issues (NACDI) made a
commitment in FY 90 to the full training of its members around the issue of
disability rights.
Toward this end, the Commission co-sponsored, along with the
Massachusetts Office of Handicapped Affairs, a day-long workshop on
accessibility. Attended by approximately 50 individuals who were trained and
certified by the State as Community Access Monitors, the event kicked off a
year of networking with disability rights advocates at both the state and
federal level.
Commission members were provided with advocacy and civil rights
education by the President of the Merrimack Valley Coalition of Disabled
Advocates. The Area Director of the Massachusetts Rehabilitation Commission
shared information on the rights and responsibilities of MRC
applicants/clients. NACDI members worked successfully toward the
installation of a TTY (Telecommunication device for the deaf) at the Fire
Department, and arranged training for the proper use of the TTY. NACDI
members were trained in the use of a TTY as well.
In January and April, 1990, the Massachusetts Office of Handicapped
Affairs provided two half-day training sessions on surveying a facility to
determine compliance with the regulations of the State Architectural Access
Board (AAB). Three facilities were surveyed by the NACDI members.
Negotiations regarding compliance are continuing. The Commission developed a
working agreement with the AAB in order to allow NACDI input for/against the
granting of variances.
The NACDI became an official member of the National Organization on
Disability, as part of their Community Partnership Program.

GREATER LAgRENCE SANITARY DISTRICT
Introduction
This report provides general information and a brief summary of
treatment plant operation for the twelve-month period July 1, 1989, to June
30, 1990 (FY 1990).
The most notable event for the Greater Lawrence Sanitary District (GLSD)
during FY 1990 was the issuance and signing of an Agreement For Judgement in
October, 1989. The agreement was issued by the Massachusetts' Attorney
General on behalf of the Massachusetts' Department of Environmental
Protection (DEP). The agreement details conditions for the receipt and
handling of tracked wastes, operation and maintenance of the treatment plant,
construction of additional sludge thickening and odor control facilities,
bypasses and discharges through combined sewer overflows and the
establishment of penalties for any violations of the treatment plant
discharge permit issued jointly by the DEP and the Environmental Protection
Agency.
Plant Operation
During FY 1990 the GLSD treated 13.32 billion gallons of wastewater from
the five communities of Andover, Lawrence, Methuen, North Andover and Salem,
N.H. North Andover's share of this total wastewater vol~e amounted to 7.5%
or just under one billion gallons of wastewater treated during the twelve
months.
39
Since October, 1989, the GLSD has not bypassed any wastewater to the
Merrimack River during storm events. This has required operating two pumps
at the main pump station during rainy periods. The treatment plant has
periodically operated beyond its design flow rate of 52 million gallons per
day (mgd) and achieved a record instantaneous flow rate of almost 108 mgd in
October, 1990, when five inches of rain fell during a two day period.
Sludge production during FY 1990 amounted to 11,274 dry tons with an
average solids content of 22.1%. The equivalent wet or raw sludge amounted
to approximately 51,000 tons. The sludge solids were chemically stabilized
by the patented Chemfix process and turned into a material referred to as
"Naturite". The Naturite was used as cover material as part of a landfill
closure plan in Gloucester.
The treatment plant operated very well during FY 1990 with average
effluent suspended solids and BOD values of 16 mg/1 and 15 mg/1,
respectively. The GLSD discharge permit requires effluent values of 30 mg/1
or less. The excellent plant performance is attributable to the completion
and operation of the fourth aeration basin and secondary clarifier. Adequate
treatment capacity combined with the diligence of the pretreatment program
assured a high quality effluent discharge to the Merrimack River.

North Andover Representative
HISTORICAL COMMISSION
The North Andover Historical Commission has had a very successful 1990.
Our goal for the year was to start work on the restoration and/or
preservation of the Old Burying Ground on Academy Road, North Andover. To
that end, the Commission hired gravestone preservationist Roseanne Atwood to
begin the necessary work of mapping, photographing, and categorizing the
stones according to amount of restoration needed for each stone~
We applied and received a grant of $5,000 from the Stevens Foundation,
and with that grant, we were able to hire Miss Atwood.
Our goal for 1991 is to be able to start the actual physical work of
restoring the stones. We have a great deal of work ahead of us, but we are
confident that we will be successful.

NORTH ANDOVER HOUSING AUTHORITY
As Executive Director, I am pleased to submit, on behalf of the North
Andover Housing Authority Board of Commissioners and its Chairman, Donald
Foulds, the Authority's 41st Annual report for fiscal year ending September
30, 1990. This report has been prepared in accordance with Chapter 12lB of
the General Laws of Massachusetts, which govern housing authorities.
The Authority, because of the nature of its organization, has a dual
responsibility. It firstly, to the best of its ability, must address the
housing needs of the low- and moderate-income families of our Town in a
manner which is beneficial to all residents and neighborhoods. Secondly, it
must administer its programs to achieve its overall housing objectives in a
fiscally responsible manner which is in the best interest of our funding
agencies.
During this past year, the Authority is pleased to state, that it has
assisted and provided low-rent subsidized units for over 400 families. The
Authority's low-rent units are distributed in six elderly and two family
developments which consist of 269 elderly and 30 family units of housing.
In addition to our publicly-owned units, the Authority also administers
rental 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 or housing assistance, a
choice of residence among virtually every apartment that qualifies within
Housing Quality Standards and Fair Market Rent Guidelines. The success of
these programs is greatly dependent upon the support of our local landlords
whom, to date, have been most cooperative. 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. In each of these priority categories, North Andover
residents are given reference.
Last year, the Authority opened 30 units of elderly housing at O'Connor
Heights. Ten of these units are congregate housing. Congregate differs
greatly from conventional elderly. This concept provides housing for frail
elderly who are unable to live independently without some support systems in
place. These units provide private bedrooms, semi-private baths, and common
living areas. They are also adjacent to the community room facilities,
thereby allowing for accessibility and assuring no isolation from the rest of
the tenants of the building. To date this concept is working well with the
aid of a part-time congregate coordinator funded through the Department of
Elder Affairs.
Again, the Authority wishes to extend its thanks to all of the persons
serving on the Multi-disciplinary Assessment Team (MAT) for all their hard
work in assessing and selecting the tenants for these units. They are at
full occupancy.
41
All housing administered
subject to the following income
by the North Andover Housing Authority is
and asset limits:
No. in Family State McCabe Court
Morkeski Meadows
Section 8
1 $19,488 $24,350 $15,250
2 22,282 27,850 17,400
3 25,056 31,300 19,550
4 27,840 34,800 21,750
5 29,580 37,000 23,500
6 31,320 39,150 25,250
7 33,060 41,350 26,950
8 or more 34,800 43,500 28,700
State Family: $15,000
State Elderly: 1 person $39,168
2 persons 46,944
Federal: None
AGE LIMIT: 62, disabled, handicapped or age 18 or over depending on the
program applied for.
The above asset limits for state aided elderly housing reflect an
increase from $15,000 to the new levels~ These changes were made to access a
market where the applicant may have a little money saved or may have
dwindling proceeds from the sale of a home, but also may have a very low
income that is eating away at the assets and will soon create a hardship for
the person. These new levels are working very well.
Although the Authority does not receive any funding from the Town, we
are no exception to the fiscal challenge facing us all. The Authority
derives its funding directly from the state and federal governments and our
fiscal '91 non-utility bottom line budget cap is - 5% from last year. Since
all of the Authority~s state budgets have had a -0- increase bottom line
since 1986, this - 5% represents operating budgets at less than 1986 levels.
The challenge to the Authority this year will be to at least maintain
the same level of services to our tenants while living with less than level
funding.
Fortunately, the funding for our modernization projects has been freed
up at the Executive Office of Communities and Development (EOCD), and we are
currently replacing 24 kitchens and bathrooms at our 40-year old veteran's
housing project on Francis and Baldwin Streets. They are long overdue.
Also, we have just finished replacing windows at our 30-year old elderly
housing development, Fountain Drive.
Sometime during the spring, if all goes well, the Authority hopes to
begin the demolition of a four-family house it currently owns on Ashland
Street and replace it with a new four unit townhouse building. These units
would be managed under the State's 705 family housing programs~
42
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.

trip was a boat ride around Boston Harbor, 90 kids enjoyed this trip. Our
seventh trip was to Cedarland in Bradford, the kids played miniature golf and
tested their skills in the baseball and softball batting cages. This was our
last field trip as we had two events at Drummond the last week.

and field trips, as well as taking swimming lessons at Stevens Pond.
We operated many leagues - basketball, baseball and softball. The Pony
League for boys ages 13 to 16 and the girls softball league for girls ages 8
to 14 were both very successful. We owe many thanks to Jim McAloon for the
success of the Softball League and to Paul Theberge for the Pony League.
We owe many thanks to the North Andover Fire and Police Departments,
Paul Niman and Bud Cyr and the men of the Public Works, Radio Station
W.C.C.M. and the Lawrence Eagle-Tribune for all the help they gave us during
the year.

DEPAR~/EI~T OF YOUTH SERVICES
still the newest of all Town Departments, the Youth Services Department,
under the directorship of Rick Gorman, continues to grow and meet the needs
of the Communities youth and families.
During August of 1989, a committee was formed to fund raise money to
match that of the $12,500 secured at Town Meeting to hire a full-time
Assistant Director for our Department. This position, incidently, is only
the second paid position for this Department. The committee included the
following: Barbara Grasso, Mark DiSalvo, Carrie Crouch, Betty Beland and
John Pollano. Over the course of the summer and the early fall, various
letter campaigns, car washes, tee shirt sales, and bake sales netted the
funds needed to complete the matching funds. In November, 1989, advertising
was done for the position. A Search and Interview Committee was formed.
This Committee consisted of Susan Krueger, a member of Teenco FAC, A1 Powers,
Vice Principal of North Andover Middle School~ Detective Inspector Paul
Gatlagher, North Andover Police Department, Carrie Crouch, North Andover
Youth Services Board of Directors, and Jeffrey Foulds, North Andover High
School Senior Class Representative. After researching the resumes submitted
for consideration, a list of three semi-finalists were interviewed. The
Committees choice was given to the Director who made the final decision.

REPORT OF THE NORTH ANDOVER SCHOOL BUILDING COMMITTEE
Dear Neighbors,
Upon the conclusion of the 1990 annual Town Meeting, we, as members of
the School Building Committee (SBC), were pleased by the overwhelming
support North Andover's legislative body gave to the school system's Master
Plan. Town meeting affirmed the judgment of the SBC and the designs it
labored to produce of an elementary school at the Calzetta Farm site and a
new Thomson School. Unfortunately, promise of moving forward has been
delayed by the subsequent unfavorable debt exclusion vote.
The SBC has affirmed its unequivocal support for appropriate new
construction to solve the space needs that our elementary and middle school
system demands. It continues to recognize the commitment of the School
Committee to provide equity opportunity in both classroom curriculum and in
facility at all our schools.
The facts continue to support the construction of new classroom space
as our school population below the secondary level burgeons. That growth
keeps our school system out of state compliance as to provision of special
education, and requires the continued expansion and use of inappropriate
space for teaching.
The SBC can relate that North Andover, becaus~ of the extension of the
School Building Assistance law, will continue to be eligible for 63%
reimbursement from the state for each dollar it spends on new construction.
Each taxpayer dollar that continues to be spent leasing, fitting-up and
supplying temporary portable classrooms, and converting and maintaining
otherwise inappropriate space, is not leveraged by state funds. These
expenditures reduce the amount of money the community can appropriate for
other vital town services.
We wish to note that the work of the SBC is abled by the skills
exhibited by our secretary, Jean White, and the additional assistance of
school system staff members Edie Doherty and Mary Klueber.
The School Building Committee continues to support the School Facility
Master Plan. Its implementation will commence with the Town's support to
construct a school at the Calzetta Farm site. Your support at the 1991
Town Meeting and beyond will help determine the character and future of our
community.

ANWOAL REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOI-~
Because of the importance of the issue, I have begun my reports to you
for the past few years with the issue of our student enrollments. That topic
is followed by some significant system-wide efforts and by reports from our
school buildings and programs.
Enrollmen~
Enrollment within the system is now higher than at any time for many
years with over one hundred (100) students more than last year. Seventy-
seven (77) additional students at the elementary level and fifty-seven (57)
additional students at the middle school level have ingreased class sizes at
those levels. The loss of several high school positions was not fully offset
by having twenty-six (26) fewer students at the high school. Next year is
projected to be the year when high school enrollment stabilizes and then
begins to increase again. I also anticipate the addition of one hundred
(100) additional students at the elementary and middle school levels.
Without additional space, class sizes will continue to increase. I believe
that such increases will degrade the ~ajor efforts we have made to improve
our curriculum and students' programs.
SYSTEM-WIDE PRO6~S
Curriculum Development:
Major recommendations for curriculum revision were completed and adopted
by the North Andover School Committee during the school year. Three Subject
Area Revision Committees (SARCs), foreign language, reading and language
arts, completed the curriculum review and revision phases of their work.
Their reports detailed the comprehensive process for reviewing their subject
areas and made recommendations for changes to update the curriculum K-12.
In the case of foreign language, one of the highlights was the
introduction of a required exploratory program in grade 6 at the Middle
School. This course is designed to encourage youngsters at an early age to
pursue the study of a foreign language. Students will focus on the French
and Spanish language and culture but will also be exposed to other languages.
Also, the entire Spanish program, grades 7 - 12, was also revised and a new
textbook series put in place.
The reading and language arts SARCs were initially two separate
committees but combined to form one as it became clear that the program for
students should, in fact, be a single program. Highlights of the
reading/language arts recommendations included the introduction of a
systematic K-12 writing curriculum and the introduction of a literature-based
basal series in grades K-6 that will integrate instruction in all language
arts (reading, writing, listening, speaking, grammar, spelling, vocabulary)
53
into a comprehensive program. At the high school level, courses were revised
and in grades 11 and 12 electives were largely eliminated and replaced with
one-year core English courses. These courses would maintain the present
literature coverage but allow for greater emphasis in the skill-based areas
of writing, speaking and listening.
These three curricul~ committees were the second group to implement
revised programs under our new curriculum revision plan, which requires that
every subject area be reviewed every four years. Each committee included
over fifteen teachers, parent, students and administrators. Their two-year
review involved assessing the present curriculum, piloting new materials, and
recommending adoptions to the Superintendent. A sixth committee, guidance,
will be reporting in the fall of 1990. The third set of curriculum revision
committees in fine arts and math began their two years' work in November.
In the area of special education, rather than establish a special
mducation resource room SARC, a system-wide effort has been begun to look at
how special needs youngsters can receive more services within their regular
education classes. At the end of the school year, the elementary principals,
guidance counselors, special education and regular education teachers met to
"kick off" this effort. SARCs in all subject areas have special education
representation in order to insure that the North Andover curriculum meets the
needs of all children including those in our special needs programs.
North Andover remains on the forefront in developing performance
assessments for all curriculum areas that are being revised. The concept of
a performance assessment is simple. Students should be asked to perform the
kinds of skills that are taught in systematic and effective formats that
allow the staff to assess whether students are, in fact, learning and whether
the curriculum is "working." An apt analogy is athletics. Athletes spend a
good deal of time being instructed in and practicing new skills and new
knowledge. During the actual athletic event, they perform what they have
learned, and it is possible for an observer to evaluate both skills and
knowledge~ The Science and Social Studies SARCs piloted performance
assessments in their areas during the spring. These pilot assessments were
reviewed by a team of teachers at the end of the school year, revised and
prepared for formal implementation during the next school year. These
assessments will balance our standardized testing program and provide the
staff with data to evaluate the effectiveness of the curriculum and,
therefore, to make continued improvements.
The entire curriculum review process is being supervised by a
representative group of teachers, administrators, parents and students in the
form of a curriculum steering committee. To date, 132 teachers and
administrators and 30 parents and students have been involved in the several
SARCs doing this important work.
Staff Development Activities:
A comprehensive program of professional activities was developed by the
Curriculum Steering Committee and included not only programs for the seven
half and one full curriculum day but a number of workshop series that
occurred after school. As part of the workshop days, some of the important
topics that were covered during the year were as follows: preparation for
54
implementing the new staff evaluation system~ staff training in the new
social studies and science curricula; use of technology to support the
instructional program; student learning styles; and the use of math
manipulatives.
There were also a number of programs that involved teachers in workshops
after school hours. These included the following: conducting Paideia
Seminars; teaching reading through literature and the writing process. North
Andover also had teams from each school participating in a nation-wide
teleconference on Restructuring to Promote Learning in America~s Schools.
In our continuing attempt to combine resources within the Merrimack
Valley, North Andover, participated actively in the Greater Lawrence
Collaborative~s expanded staff development activities. A n~ber of new and
old activities took place. There was a shared curriculum day with two
workshops: one on the use of computers, put on by IBM; the other on early
childhood education with Dr. David Day from the University of Massachusetts.
In October, a fall workshop series was held, taught by teachers and
administrators from local school systems for their colleagues, on a wide
range of subjects including cooperative learning, assertive discipline,
preventing suicide, mainstreaming visually impaired and blind students,
speech and language therapy techniques, and school-to-work transition. North
Andover sponsored a 2 1/2-day institute to train teachers to be effective
presenters of methods and ideas used in classes so these could be shared with
colleagues. This institute was so successful it will be replicated again
next year. The Educator Training Program, sponsored by the Collaborative,
aimed at providing strong in- and pre-service instruction for teachers,
gained both the approval of the superintendents in the Valley and the support
of the Massachusetts Department of Education. The program is seeking a grant
to establish a training center for teachers dedicated to improving
instruction for all students.
Of particular significance in our efforts with the Greater Lawrence
Collaborative is the low cost of these activities. Essentially, by pooling
resources, most importantly, our professional staff, we can provide a richer
and more diverse staff development program than we might otherwise.
Teacher Evaluation:
This year we embarked on the first year of a new teacher evaluation
system. The system was developed by a committee of 15 teachers and
administrators who worked over a period of two years. The system was
approved by both the North Andover Teachers Association and the North Andover
School Committee. Both administrators and teachers received training at the
opening of school in the content and process of the new system.
Administrators received additional training from Dr. Robert Gower, a
professor at the University of Lowell, on techniques of classroom observation
and writing evaluation reports. The new system involves four phases. The
first phase is a formal administrative evaluation, which was accomplished
with one-quarter of the teaching staff this year. It involved classroom
observation around a comprehensive set of 31 indicators of three broad
criteria. The third phase of the evaluation system involved another quarter
of the teaching staff in a self-evaluation project that they chose and worked
55
on with their building administrator. These self-evaluation projects allow a
teacher to focus on areas that they consider important for their own growth.
This new system was established with the dual concept that not only
evaluation but a commitment to professional growth is essential to effective
schools. Our first year was highly successful in both of these respects.
Community Relations:
Channel 25 continued a wide range of broadcasts, including some 129
school events, as well as town activities. This included over 320 hours of
broadcast time during the school year. The Channel 25 bulletin Board was
increasingly active, with 797 school and community announcements. Requests
for announcements are continually on the rise. Broadcasts shown during the
year were as follows: 40 sports events, 14 musical performances, 7 musical
plays, 9 in-classroom activities, 8 school plays, 16 combined town and school
events, 2 documentaries, 8 instructional, 7 High School special events, ~
Middle School special events, 4 elementary school special events, 2
Bradstreet special events, and 9 other miscellaneous events. A CD player was
added to Channel 25 this year, enhancing our Bulletin Board by the inclusion
of music~ Channel 25 also doubled its broadcast time by featuring two
morning broadcasts each week, in addition to our two nightly broadcasts~
The local parent/teacher organizations, including PTOs, PTASCs and SICs
were highly active in the schools this year. This was demonstrated by the
proliferation of high quality newsletters produced at every school. They
were rich in information. These newsletters were supplemented by two system-
wide newsletters, one published in the fall, the other in the spring,
focusing more on system-wide information and issues.
The central office was fortunate to have an unpaid administrative intern
for a portion of the year~ The intern was a graduate student from the
Harvard University School of Education and devoted his time in North Andover
to reviewing school/business collaboration and the potential for expanding
what presently exists in this area. Efforts are beginning to explore
expansion.
The school system continued to run its Schooline guest column in the
Citizen on a monthly basis. These articles provided the opportunity for
members of the staff to submit monthly guest columns that would focus on
ideas and issues to stimulate interest in the community about their schools
in particular, and education in general.
PROGRAMS AND ACTIVITIES
Bradstreet Early Childhood Center
The 1989-1990 School Year at the Bradstreet Early Childhood Center saw
continued evaluation of our program and improvements in many areas.
Enrollmen~ ranged from a total of 337 to 343 pupils. Two Pre-First
classes serviced 38 pupils, three Pre-Kindergarten classes serviced 43
pupils, and thirteen sessions of Kindergarten serviced 275 pupils.
56
Curriculum revision and imprevement focused on the areas of Social
Studies, Science and Language Arts. Teachers implemented new Science and
Social Studies curricula using hands-on activities to explore units on Self,
Family and Friends in Social Studies and units in Life Science, Physical
Science and Earth Science. New materials included maps, globes and activity
based units on health and nutrition, animals, magnets, etc. Pre-First
teachers worked with the Museum of Science to develop a new unit on Insects.
All teachers participated in two workshops by the Museum of Science on Hands-
On Science Activities which were implemented in the classrooms. Kindergarten
teachers also piloted performance assessments in Science with pupils
involving activities in observing and classifying. In Language Arts,
kindergarten teachers piloted a new Integrated Reading/Language Arts Program
from Houghton-Mifflin. The emphasis was on integration of reading and
language arts skills and an increase in the use of children's literature as
well as a focus on developing beginning writing skills.
Action Plan Goals this year focused on revising the Kindergarten
Screening Process, improving the Ftc-Referral process, revising the criteria
for referral to the Pre-first Program, improving communication with parents
and expanding the developmental approach at the school. These goals resulted
in a comprehensive Parent Survey which was conducted by the School
Improvement Council. Results of the survey have been used to revise the
Kindergarten Screening Process and will be used by the School Improvement
Council in the Fall of 1990 to help develop Action Plan goals for 1990-1991.
A new checklist was developed to be used by teachers in assessing pupils
being considered for placement in Pre-First. Information from the checklist
will also be used to conduct research on pupils who attend Pre-Firs~ and to
help evaluate the effectiveness of the program.
Several changes were made in the Kindergarten Screening Process this
year. Screening included Vision/Hearing and the Gesell Developmental
Observation. Results were used to identify pupils who might benefit from
placement in Pre-Kindergarten or who might need to be screened for Special
Needs before starting school. Special Needs screening for all pupils will be
done with the Early Screening Inventory in September and October. Three
hundred and five pupils were screened. Forty-five pupils were recommended for
Pre-Kindergarten and ten pupils were screened in the Spring with the ESI.
Conferences were held with 68 parents regarding results and placement. This
year the screening was held at the Bradstreet School. Parents were given a
Screening Handbook which explained screening and helped parents understand
and prepare children for it. Many positive reactions were noted to the
changes, especially the opportunity for parents and children to tour the
school.
This year all special needs pupils were integrated into regular
classrooms. Supports included smaller class sizes, teacher aides in some
rooms and specialists (Special Needs teacher, Speech Therapist and Guidance
Counselor) working in the regular classrooms. The success of these efforts is
evident in the fact that all but two pupils will be placed in regular
classrooms again in first grade.
Guidance services continued to include programs for parents. Successful
parent support groups, such as one for Divorced and Separated parents
continued. Mrs. ?errott also piloted the Systematic Training in Effective
57
Parenting (STEP) program with twelve parents. These services were quite well
received and appreciated by parents.
Parent participation continued to be a vital part of our program. The
PTAC conducted a highly successful fund-raiser, a Walk-A-Thon, which enabled
them to finance Enrichment Programs, as well as the purchase of a new
wireless Public Address system, a book-binding machine and new playground
equipment. PTAC also financed repair and upkeep of the playground and
repainting of Mrs. Vozella's classroom and the teacher's room. Parents also
continue to assist as volunteers in the classrooms and the library and serve
on the Enrichment Council and School Improvement Council. A total of 183
parents volunteered in at least one capacity during the year.
Pupils enjoyed a wealth of Enrichment Programs this year. Storyteller
Tom McCabe, singer Jennifer Justice, the Gerwick Puppets, Slim Goodbody, Mr.
and Mrs. Fish, a presentation on Native Americans and a live animal
demonstration by the Museum of Science were sponsored by the Enrichment
Council and financed by PTAC and the School Improvement Council.

Kathleen Callagy, Principal
Atkinson Elementary School
Organization and Structures
The Atkinson School has currently three classes per grade level
one through five plus two resource rooms. Space for an additional class
was provided by a rented portable classroom which is used to house a first
grade. Throughout the year enrollment has hovered between the three hundred
and sixty and the three hundred and seventy mark. Space is at a premium
throughout the building and programs such as Remedial Reading, Chapter I,
Learning Center (learning disabilities), Guidance and Speech have barely
sufficient space to fulfill their mission. Instrumental music continues to
meet in the locker room.
Modifications and Improvements
Introduction of the new Science and Social Studies curricula with an
emphasis on "hands on" was well received by the pupils and teachers. Our
compliments to those several teachers who were active in various phases of
the curriculum selection process. Special thanks to John Minihan and Judy
Hillner for their efforts in chairing the respective Subject Area Review
Committees.
Basic computation skills were enhanced by the purchase of more classroom
manipulative materials as well as participation in the computer math
computational program.
The basic skill of reading was focused on in several ways beyond the
class curriculum. Enlargement of classroom libraries, participation in
community sponsored reading contests, co-ordination of classroom activities
58
with the school and community libraries and parent support for all of these
activities, were just a few of the means used.
Integration of children with differing needs in regular education
programs has been expanded to include activities like Miss O'Connor
teaching in the regular education classroom with Mrs. Osborn and Mrs.
Wiseman bringing her Myths and Legends Program to grade five classrooms. This
is only the precursor to more utilization of specialists within the regular
classroom setting.
Activities and Events
The positive atmosphere of the Atkinson School engendered a receptivity
and responsiveness of the part of pupils and staff to the varied offerings of
the North Andover Schools Enrichment Council. Story telling, music, art,
literature, dance, mime were some of the programmatic offerings brought to
the children via assemblies.
The new science curriculum fostered and culminated in a wide variety of
activities revolving around and Earth Day theme and a Science Fair
exposition.
Guest readers both in the classrooms and school library actively
involved pupils in selected readings. Dr.Walsh, under the auspices of our
energetic parent group, spoke directly with parents on the Wonders of Reading
Aloud to children.
The choosing of a new logo for the school, again under the auspices of
our parent group, involved nearly every pupil. The shooting star design with
the title ATKINSON ALLSTARS was submitted by a first grader and
enthusiastically endorsed by our student body.
Student Achievement
State-wide Testing for basic skills in grade 3 and the competency
testing in grade 4 reflect the Stanford Achievement Tests of grade 5, in that
they indicate marked progress in academic skills. However, quantitative
testing is but one phase of evaluation, assessment in application areas of
creative problem solving, critical thinking skills and development of human
values, among other areas, needs be included. In these areas as well as the
academic, our pupils have made strong gainst
Respectfully submitted,
Albert Goebel, Principal
Franklin Elementary School
The school year began with a number of new members joining the Franklin
School faculty. Tom Kane took over the reins of the principalship following
the retirement of Charles Wiseman who had been Principal of Franklin School
for the past twenty-two years. Pamela Lathrop, a recent graduate of
Merrimack College was hired to teach the first grade class that was added
this year, giving us a total of five first grades. Susan Angell joined us
59
from the Atkinson School to teach third grade. Lois Borgesi was hired as a
full time nurse and Claire Cavanaugh replaced Lois as the 1/5 time nurse.
Jean McAloon joined us as a Special Needs aide. Maureen Bierman, a first
grade teacher at Franklin moved to Buffalo N.Y. in December. Valerie
Duffield replaced Maureen for the remainder of the school year.
School Improvement Plan
Many activities were conducted during the first half of the school year
as part of the process of developing a School Improvement Plan. The School
Improvement Council was very active in coordinating activities and assessing
input form faculty and parents to develop the plan. The faculty agreed on a
mission statement for the school then assessed the school's strengths and
weaknesses as part of the process in developing a prioritized list of needs.
The School Improvement Council conducted a parent survey and based on this
combined input, developed a plan to accomplish the following goals.
To develop a master specialist schedule to improve the coordination of
student services, and increase opportunities for team planning among
staff,
II. To provide students with a greater range of learning experiences in
language arts.
III.
To provide students with a greater range of learning experiences in
math, specifically, hands on activities, real life applications,
challenges for talented math students.
IV. Improve and strengthen communications between home and school.
Committee of teachers were organized to work on each specific goal
during the second held of the year. As a result of their efforts a
comprehensive schedule was developed for the next school year. Guidelines
for school and home communications were developed, and many new instructional
materials were acquired for the language arts and math curricula.
Curriculum
As the School Improvement Plan indicated, the staff placed an emphasis
on developing a greater range of learning experience for students in each of
the curricula subjects. Children at Franklin School read more novels as
teachers increasingly incorporated children's literature into the reading
program. The Literature Committee, formed as part of the School Improvement
Plan developed a Franklin School literature list and purchased five new sets
of children's novels for each grade level.
Children in all grades learned the process approach to writing and
participated in many writing activities. Many children teamed with partners
at a different grade level to share their writing. Children in Mrs.
Jackson's third grade worked with Mrs. Nicolaisen's first graders, Miss
Manzi's fifth graders with Ms. Lathrop's first graders and Mrs. Iannuccillo's
fourth graders with Miss Brennan's third graders. Parent Volunteers worked
with many students to publish their writings using the word processor. The
60
Writing Committee facilitated these activities with the purchase of special
materials for classroom publishing and the Writers Workshop Software Program.
Students at each grade level frequently used manipulatives to help them
better understand math concepts. The Math Committee acquired geoboards,
fraction bars, pattern blocks and many other teaching aids to provide
children with concrete experiences in their math lessons.
New curricula were introduced this year in both the social studies and
science programs. The Silver Burdett Social Studies Program helps the
children to develop their understanding of ~ocial interdependence from
focusing on school and family roles in the first grade to studying U.S.
history and geography in grade five. Student experienced many hands on
activities in the revised science program. Mrs. SchenaSs class participated
in a nationwide telecommunication unit in which the collected data about acid
rain in the North Andover area and shared the data with other members of the
network. Many students took field trips as part of their science studies
including trips to Hampton to study tidal pool life, to Smolak~s to study
pond life and to the Hydroelectric plant in Lawrence~ Second graders hatched
both butterflies and chicks and children at all grade levels observed and
cared for class pets.
Student achievement was monitored with the traditional standardized
testing and our revised curricula in science and social studies were
evaluated with assessment tools designed by the respective SARC. Students at
the second and fifth grade took the Stanford Achievement Tests and scored
well above the national average. Third graders scored very well in the
Massachusetts Basic Skills tests. The curriculum assessments which measure
the student's performance on skills rather than content, indicate that we
have made good progress in implementing our revised curricula.
Special Programs
Throughout the year, the children participate in activity that extend or
go beyond the stated curriculum. Through their independent reading, the
children helped the Reading Dragon grow during the school year until it
completely encircles the school. In February we celebrated our Chinese
Festival Week with Feng Lan Gao, our visiting teacher from China. During this
week, Franklin School became a Chinese School with children wearing uniforms,
greeting teachers with chinese greetings, and eating chinese food. Mrs.
Iannuccillo's and Mrs. Burke's class lead the Dragon Parade, which concluded
the festivities.
Many classes of children entertained their school mates with plays and
programs. Among these were Ms. Lathrop's classes "Story of the Pilgrims", Mrs.
Brown's and Ms. Kohl's classes unforgettable "Randy the Red Horned
Reinmoose", and the second grade's "Peter Rabbit." The band and chorus under
the direction of Beth Mosier and Marilyn Savory entertained us with their
Holiday and Spring concerts.
The Enrichment Council sponsored numerous cultural activities that were
enjoyed by the students. Some of the favorites included Tom McCabe,
storyteller, author Marc Brown, Marcia Perlmutter, actress, the Gerwich
Puppets and Slim Goodbody.
61
The Franklin P.T.O. organized many activities that involved the
students. "Donuts for Dads" gave children the opportunity to breakfast with
the Dads and their teacher. The Holiday Social gave families a chance to
share the seasons spirit in the school settings. Students and teachers ran
the Fun Run, getting a good "work out" while raising money for school
activities. As a result of their fund raising activities, the P.T.O. was
able to fund the purchase of many of the instructional tools and materials
recommended by the School Improvement Council.
Respectfully submitted,
Thomas Kane, Principal
Kittredge Elementary School
A change in personnel was instituted for the first grade. Mrs. Rottler
went on maternity leave and then took an unpaid leave for the full year.
Mrs. Champine was selected by parents, teachers and the principal to fill in
as a long-term substitute.
Mrs. Sharkey, the high school remedial reading teacher, exchanged
positions with Mrs. Potsaid, the elementary remedial reading teacher. The
exchange was very successful for all of the individuals involved.
The building does not have any room for expansion. Ail of the available
space has been utilized for classroom teachers or special teachers and
support personnel.
Extensive repairs were completed on the roof during the summer. The
work was supervised by the architect and his structural engineers. A
thorough repair of the roof was completed before students returned to school.
New drop ceilings were installed and everything is safe and sound. Other
maintenance involved replacing the siding and roof cover on the portable
classroom. A new entry door was also installed. The main office was
painted, however, the rest of the painting had to be placed on hold.
Mrs. Fitzpatrick, an excellent Assistant Principal and fifth grade
teacher, took on added responsibilities. She and parents were responsible
for the Kittredge Newspaper. The total school community participated by
submitting articles. Working on committess with parents and teachers are
Mrs. Fitzpatrick's forte. She managed the student store with the help of the
student council and parents. The P.T.O. was very supportive of this endeavor
and the students were the recipients of the benefits. School spirit was
stressed by having assemblies where each grade put on great presentations.
The students really got involved and learned from this experience.
Mrs. Harvey piloted the new Houghton Mifflin Literature Based Reading
series. She was on the Subject Area Revision Committee and the building
representative or liaison for the total staff.
Other teachers were involved on study committees that are ongoing, new
committees began in specified areas and their reports and recommendations to
the School Committee will be forth coming by June, 1991.
62
The Special Needs workshops assisted teachers by presenting ideas and
concepts for integrating special needs students into the regular classroom~
A building plan was introduced for Student Assistant Team meetings and Core
Evaluation meetings. I am sure that the new plan will benefit the students.
Every effort will be made to see that the proper assistance students need
will be incorporated in their daily activities.
New computers were utilized by the students. However, we do not have a
computer lab due to space limitations. This factor limits the full use of
the computer technology.
The Developmentally Delayed students went into the regular classrooms
for art, music and phys. ed. Some students participated in math, science and
social studies as their needs warranted. The students enjoyed the change and
were not frustrated.
Mrs. Tarr and Mrs. Bryan received a grant which was based on building
self-esteem of the special needs students and the regular education students.
It proved to be very successful.
Student teachers were accepted from Merrimack and Salem State Colleges.
Mrs. Fitzpatrick, Mrs. Harvey, Mrs. McCann and Mrs. McManus participated in
the capacity of co-operating teachers. Many of the tenured teachers are
always willing to accept student teachers.
Volunteers assisted in the classrooms and libraries throughout the year.
The P.T.O. President, Mrs. Barry, did an excellent job in rallying volunteer
parents as the need arose.
Project Charlie had a change in Coordinators, but the response from
parent volunteers was sufficient to run a total program. The volunteers
received training and they committed themselves for the entire school year.
Parents and teachers participated on the School Improvement Council,
Action Plans, Discipline Code, Screening and Hiring Committee and numerous
fund raising events.
The state testing of grade three and four illustrated a high degree of
student success. There were two percent of the total population that did not
pass one area of the test of Basic Skills and every student passed the Mass~
Assessment Test. Anyone who did not pass the Basic Skills segments was given
remedial assistance.
Retention requests were minimal. In fact, only one student was retained
in the first grade. This was mutually agreed upon by the teacher, guidance
counselor, principal and the parents.
Two special needs students were mainstreamed into the regular classroom.
Aides were employed to assist the first and second grade teachers who had the
new students. Everyone agreed that the students made the adjustment very
well and progressed at their own rate,
Enrichment assemblies were sponsored by the Enrichment Council and
volunteer parents. The parents previewed the presentations before they were
63
held for the students. Students enjoyed and learned from these experiences.
The P.T.O. voted to fully fund the activities of the Enrichment Council.
A successful year was attained due to the terrific cooperation of the
teachers, parents and students.

Thomson Elementary School
This is my 23rd annual report and it summarizes some very exciting events
that took place during the 1989/90 school year.
Ail teachers continued to increase the use of math manipulatives in the
arithmetic curriculum. More and more use of these materials has produced
greater understanding of math concepts by the students. Teachers are not
just relying on store-bought materials, but have developed materials of their
own and are seeing greater appreciation for math developing in their classes,
The new science curriculum provides for more hands-on activities and,
therefore, greater excitement is exhibited by the children. As supplements
to the basic curriculum, students have participated in an Earth Day program
at the local State Forest, tide pool specimen collection at the beach for the
salt water aquarium, developing and planting a garden and the creation of a
weather station reporting program. The reporting of the weather will be
greatly expanded throughout the building next year.
Social studies began a new era with the adoption of a new curriculum and
textbook. For the first time in recent years, up-to-date books and
supplementary materials have been provided for student and teacher use.
Four teachers at grade levels 2-5 volunteered to pilot the Houghton
Mifflin Whole Language Program. The use of these new materials was very
exciting for the teachers, as well as the students. The combining of
Language and Reading into one integrated subject area gave the children many
opportunities to express themselves in a variety of ways. Not only was there
pen and paper activities, but extensive use was made of the computer word
processing programs. This coming year will see the implementation of the
program throughout the system in grades 1-6.
The Physical Education Department provided the opportunity for Thomson
School to become involved in a Handicapped Awareness Program. There were
classroom lectures and activities, hands-on materials were provided so
students could experience what it is like to be handicapped and, as a
culminating activity, a guest speaker was brought to the school to talk with
the children. This program was small, but a good beginning to what we hope
will be a more comprehensive approach for all students at all grade levels.
We all must realize how important it is to understand the limitations of some
of our citizens and that they are important members of our society.
Thomson School started to integrate more of the Special Needs and
Remedial Reading instruction into the regular classroom setting. Our goal
64
was to make these programs more involved with the regular education
curriculum. Pullout programs seem to isolate the students and teachers
involved and segment the total educational program. If teachers work more
closely with each other, the isolation disappears and their time with the
children is more productive. We have just begun to develop this concept and
will build upon it for the coming schoo~ year. A great deal of planning has
taken place so far and we hope to expand into more classrooms next year.
A new direction in how we assess students who are experiencing
difficulties in the regular classroom was initiated this past year. A
meeting involving the principal, guidance counselor, classroom teachers,
remedial reading and special needs staff was held on a regular basis to
discuss problems that students were encountering. On many occasions we were
able to help teachers by brainstorming a number of ideas to be used in the
regular classroom. We recommended outside help only when all other
approaches had been exhausted. The staff and principal felt this method of
solving educational difficulties worked very effectively and we will continue
the practice.
A calendar of events for Thomson School, along with a newsletter, was
expended this past year. Next year it is hoped that the newsletter will go
out on a more regular basis.
Thanks to the generous support of the Thomson School P.T.O. and the
Enrichment Council the children were able to experience many activities that
they would have been unable to enjoy otherwise. The following list will
focus on some of these activities:
1. Mime
2. Storyteller
3. Storyteller
4. Fun With Science
Fossils & Dinosaurs
5. Journey Into Jazz
6. Paradise City Jazz Band
7. Gerwick Puppets
8. Actors Theatre of Maine
9. Folksinger
10. Author/Illustrator
11. Poet
12. Slim Goodbody
13. Operation Ernie
14. Marcia Permutter
David Zucker
Odds Bodkin
Tom McCabe
Pyramids & Pharaohs
Adventures of Thornton Burgess &
Stories of Uncle Remus
Indian In The Cupboard
Klm Wallach
Marc Brown
Steve Ratiner
Caroline Ingalls
In addition to the performances listed, the students participated in a number
of field trips to supplement the curriculum:
1~ Stevens Memorial Library
2, Larcom Theater - Beverly, MA.
3. Parson Barnard House
4, North Shore Music Theatre - Beverly, MA.
5, M.V. Textile Museum
6. Concord Museum - Concord, MA.
65
7. New England Aquarium - Boston, MA.
8. Museum of Science - Boston, MA.
This past school year was very busy as the principal planned for the
proposed new school building at the Thomson School site. The entire staff
was able to see finished drawings and scale models of the New Thomson School.
This was the culmination of many meetings held the previous year to develop
educational specifications. Along with the excitement created by the
beautiful design, came the disappointment when the plan was defeated by the
taxpayers. We all hope that the plans can be revised in the coming school
year.
Respectfully submitted,
John Nelson, Principal
North Andover Middle School
I hereby submit my sixth annual report as Principal of the North Andover
Middle School.
Curriculum
During this past year several changes took place in the area of
curriculum and instruction as a result of the systemwide curriculum revision
process.
In both science and social studies newly revised curriculum strands were
introduced along with a greater emphasis on a hands-on approach to learning.
At the end of the year performance assessment testing took place to evaluate
the effectiveness of instruction in these subject areas.
With the completion of the work of the foreign language review committee
a new foreign language exploratory program was developed. This program will
be introduced next year with every sixth grade student participating.
A large number of staff members continue to be involved in systemwide
curriculum review committees. The language arts and reading committees
recently completed their work and revised programs in these areas will be
implemented next year. The math committee continues its work and several new
programs will be piloted at the middle school next year. Revised fine arts
and guidance programs will also be seen.
Action Plan
A school-based advisory council with staff and parent representation was
formed this year to develop and oversee the building's annual action plan.
As a result of this year's action plan the school's honor roll policy
was reviewed and revised in such a way that it more appropriately reflects
the school's philosophy. A committee of staff, parents, and students
conducted the study and made its recommendations to the Advisory Council for
approval.
66
A second representative committee began a study of grouping practices
with a goal of determining a reasonable structure for the optimum learning
environment for students. Throughout the year this committee reviewed
research, attended conferences, and visited other school systems to better
understand issues and current practices. Further work will be done on this
issue next year.
Other happenings as a result of the action plan included the publication
of a bimonthly parent newsletter by the PAC, exploration of ways to better
integrate curriculum areas, senior citizen involvement in the school, and the
annual celebration of National Middle School Education Week.
Enrichment Programs
As a result of the efforts of the North Andover Enrichment Council,
middle school students were provided the opportunity to participate in a
number of programs designed to complement and enrich the academic program.
These programs included Shakespeare, mime, authors and illustrators, Pyramids
and Pharaohs, LaSalle's Expedition, Leonardo DeVinci, Beethoven, and a
variety of plays.
In addition, curriculum extensions included participation in "Project
Jason" with the Museum of Science and Raytheon, visits to several museums and
plays, and on-site explorations at Gloucester and Plum Island.
Students participated in large numbers in drama productions, the most
notable of which were "Bye, Bye, Birdie", and "Charlie and the Chocolate
Factory".
The school's Academic Bowl Team in conjunction with its sister school,
the Leonard School of Lawrence, emerged as Greater Lawrence Champions in the
annual Middle Level competition.
Building
As the middle school population continues to grow the need for
additional space becomes more acute. This year eight staff members did not
have their own dedicated teaching space. Six of these teachers, including
all three foreign language teachers, two academic teachers, and the health
teacher teach in three different locations daily. At the present time
building space utilization stands at 92%. Eliminating the use of science
classrooms for other than science classes (as per Science SARC) the
utilization increases to 96.8%!
In light of this critical need several small spaces were "converted"
this year. These were used for remedial reading, Chapter I, and instrumental
music lessons.
For the future, beginning next year with an anticipated enrollment
increase of 70 students, additional space will be necessary.
The Middle School is not currently accessible to handicapped students.
Two wings have two floors and are not connected. Elevators are necessary in
both wings and lavatories need to be upgraded.
67
The seating in the auditorium is showing considerable signs of age.
Many seats are not able to be used and others are in disrepair. Ail of the
seating needs to be upgraded and refurbished.
Other
At the conclusion of the school year the third annual Recognition Night
was held honoring those 265 students who had earned all A and B grades in all
subjects all year. Further, 65 eighth grade students received Presidential
Academic Fitness Awards.
Staffing
Several new staff members joined the middle school staff for the 1989-90
school year. Mr. Richard Mackey joined the eighth grade staff as a
mathematics teacher while Mrs. Janet Marcotte did likewise in the seventh
grade. Miss Katheryn Newbern was added to the seventh grade staff in the
area of social studies and Mrs. Sandra Donahue taught language arts in grade
six. In the Special Education department Mrs. Judy Nigrelli, Mrs. ~onna-Kay
Sullivan, and Miss Klm Lengas joined the staff. Miss Lisa Bombaci returned
from a leave of absence to the foreign language staff. Also, Fen Lan Gao, an
exchange teacher from China, was based at the middle school for the year.
At the end of the year Mrs. Blanche Campbell retired from teaching after
many years of devoted service in the North Andover Public Schools.
The staff and students at the middle school focused their attention on
school pride throughout the year. The students performed extremely well
academically and socially. The staff developed many exciting programs to
provide a challenge to each student. Their hard work moved the school
forward in a variety of areas.
I wish to thank Mr. Albert Powers, Assistant Principal, for his support
and assistance. Also, the three school secretaries, Marie Furneaux, Joanne
Rennie, and Pat Roy, provided tremendous service and support. I am also
thankful for the support and confidence extended to me by Dr. George
Blaisdell and Mr. Edward Martin, along with the members of the School
Committee.
Respectfully submitted,
Richard Neal, Principal
North Andover High School
I am pleased to file my second annual report as Principal of North
Andover High School. Appropriately, we began the new decade with an exciting
and busy year full of notable accomplishments and memorable events, Each
year we look to our Seniors for leadership and good example and the Class of
1990 more than met that challenge! 91% of the class decided to continue
their education with college or university study, an all-time high percentage
for NAHS. Many of these students were helped along the way by scholarships
68
provided by individuals, agencies, and companies who invest in the future by
supporting deserving college-bound NAHS grads.
Among these scholarship winners, I am proud to recognize our National
Merit Finalist, Thomas Woods, who was Valedictorian of his class and received
early admission to Harvard. The North Andover Scholarship Foundation
continued its generous support of our graduates by distributing a total of
$9,700 to the following graduates: Paul Blandini, Matthew Curley, Patricia
Dawson, David Dodson, Mark Hoff~an, Edward Keisling, Christopher Lee, Daniel
Pickles, James Seccareccio, James Stoupis, and Matthew Tonello. Perhaps the
largest financial aid grants went to students receiving appointments to
military academies: David Greenwood to the United States Naval Academy;
Timothy Ammon and Daniel Pickles to the United States Coast Guard Academy.
ROTC four-year scholarships were awarded to Daniel Thomas (Air Force) and
Kurt Henninger (Army). Other four-year scholarships went to Thomas Woods
(the Elks National Foundation Scholarship) and to Patricia Dawson (Academic
Scholarship to Fairfield University). Other scholarships granted to 1990
grads amounted to a total value of over $55,000.
Underclassmen who received well-deserved recognition included Janine
Hetherington, recipient of the Xerox Humanities Award; Debra Baltzer,
recipient of the Holy Cross Book Prize; Glenn Collupy, recipient of the
Harvard Book Prize; Jennifer Munro, recipient of the Dartmouth Book Prize;
and Daniel Murphy, recipient of the Wellesley Book Prize.
Numbers of other students contributed significantly to the success and
well-being of their peers by generously participating in service activities
within the school. The third annual Leadership Conference again provided
over sixty student leaders the opportunity to hone their skills, to set goals
for the year, and to develop action plans to improve the school. A group of
activist students concerned about the environment organized a new student
club which calls itself HEAL. The club, assisted by faculty advisor Annice
Kra, worked hard to promote the welfare of the planet in a variety of
endeavors extending from a school-wide recycling effort to Earth Week, an
informational series of programs held in May. Another student group which
came into its own was the Peers Leaders, who received specialized training to
enable them to conduct programs in drug and alcohol awareness for middle
school students. Yet another new group was the Student Forum, an advisory
council to the principal who worked with him and Youth Services Director Rick
Gorman to identify student needs and then to design ways to meet those needs.
Looking back at the year, four highlights spring immediately to mind and
will doubtless remain as fond memories for all of us at NAHS. First was the
relocation of the Integrated Pre-School Program from the Early Childhood
Center to the high school~ Many high school students helped out with this
special needs program, both formally as part of their curriculum and
informally as a service activity. But the presence of these little newcomers
and their caring teacher, Mary L~u Bowden, brightened the entire school.
(Thanks must go to the Special Needs and Business departments who moved their
programs and materials to make way for this new program.) Second, we were
privileged to have Mrs. Feng Lan Gao, a visiting teacher from China, stay
with us for part of the year. Whether playing ping pong in the field house
or teaching in the social studies department, Mrs. Gao well represented her
country and taught all of us gracious lessons in communication and global
69
awareness. Third, who will forget April's Carnival weekend? Even with the
extremes in weather which came with the Carnival, this event showed great
promise for the future--promise of a fun activity for the town and a solid
fund-raiser for school programs. It was jointly sponsored by the Spirit Club
and Youth Services, and members of both organizations, assisted by the Parent
Advisory Council, worked very hard to bring it to life. Fourth, the school
sponsored its first Wellness Day, a series of educational programs and
activities focused on health issues. Conceived and organized by Home
Economies teacher Maureen Lovell, this program provided an important and
effective supplement to our educational program in an innovative and
effective format.
These highlights rise above but do not distract from other important
accomplishments and successes during the year. Our Math Teal again advanced
to the state and New England finals and was the highest scoring team among
its New England competitors in the Atlantic-Pacific Math League. Our art
students exhibited their work in the Greater Lawrence Collaborative Exhibit,
the Boston Globe Scholastic Art Exhibit, and locally, in the Town Hall, the
Senior Citizen Center, and at the Youth Center. Social Studi~s students
participated in the Model U.N. program at neighboring Lawrence High School
and the state's History Day competition. More than fifty students put in
hours of work and loads of talent to bring the spring musical production back
to life with a lavish version of "Hello Dolly!~ which delighted packed
audiences at the middle school auditorium in May. Foreign Language students
traveled to Germany and France in exchange programs and hosted German
students who visited us in [he fall. Japanese students who came to North
Andover in the summer were provided "home stay" opportunities by the families
of NAHS students.
Supporting our school activities and endeavors, the Parent Advisory
Council had another productive year under the leadership of President Gerrie
Berube. Among the programs sponsored by PAC were class breakfasts at the
beginning of the school year, a breakfast for faculty, a bulletin board for
student activity information posted in the cafeteria, and, most notably, a
monthly activity calendar produced by the persistent and professional efforts
of PAC member Patricia Apigian.
Support also came from another "outside" group, the Schools Enrichment
Council. Thanks to their sponsorship and assistance, students experienced
four quality, educational assembly programs: a story teller who brought
local history to life, a troupe of "Improbable Players" with a powerful anti-
drug, anti-alcohol message, a spirited jazz ensemble, and the renowned
Shakespeare Company, who performed "Romeo and Juliet" for a captivated
audience of ninth-graders.
Curriculum and academic program also made important gains, benefitting
in particular from the work of the various Subject Area Revision Committees.
New assessment strategies which will improve our ability to evaluate student
progress were piloted in the Social Studies and Science departments. The
English curriculum underwent wholesale revision, with language arts
instruction expanding for ninth- and tenth-graders in the 1990-91 and new
course offerings planned for eleventh- and twelfth-graders in 1991-92. The
Social Studies department revised its American History program for Juniors.
Two new courses were initiated in the Science department: Anatomy and
7O
Physiology and Astronomy and Applied Science. Both enjoyed large enrollments
and met important academic needs for students. A new semester course in
Trigonometry was equally well received by junior and senior math students.
The Business department offered a new Com~uter Applications course which
contributed to the technological awareness and skill of students in all four
years.
As the number of foreign students has increased at NAHS, the need for
improved and expended ESL (English as a Second Language) services also has
increased~ In conjunction with the other schools in the town, NAHS developed
new programs to meet the needs of these students both within the regular
curriculum and as a supplementary resource teaching just English language
skills.
In the Guidance Depar~ent, improvement of services for students and
parents continued to be a priority. Quality improvements were made in
helpful publications such as the Guidance Newsletter and the College Planning
Guide, which provide students and parents with useful and timely information.
A series of evening programs were offered to large crowds of appreciative
parents on the topics of financial planning, financial aid, and general
planning for college.
Other innovations at NAHS which deserve mention include the advent of
Paideia Seminars for teachers--accompanied by the hope that teachers will use
this methodology with their students. Also new to the school (as well as to
the system) was a revised teacher evaluation program which, among other
improvements, provided one-fourth of the teaching staff with the opportunity
to design a plan for professional growth tailored to meet their own needs.
The quality of several of these self-improvement plans as generated and
enacted by high school teachers was extremely high and professionally
edifying. In addition, a hunger for improved writing instruction led to our
inviting a guest professional to come to NAHS for a day-long training of
several teachers and some thirty students in the development of a
computerized Writing Center in which students at all grades and levels can
receive tutorial assistance with all writing assignments from peer tutors.
This service will be implemented in the 1990-91 school year.
Was it a great year? Judging from the level of activity and investment
on the part of students, teachers, and parents, one would have to say yes,
emphatically! The tradition of commitment to academic excellence at North
Andover High School continues into the new decade. Dedicated professional
staff working with responsive and responsible students, in collaboration with
involved and caring parents, are maintaining that tradition. Carrying this
tradition forward is a continuing commitment to improve. The faculty and
administration at NAHS will continue to identify shortcomings and plan for
improvement. Many efforts toward improvement of our school are well in
evidence as we review the academic year of 1989-90. That commitment and
energy will continue as we work to better our educational services to meet
the needs of the Nineties!

Health Education
A half-time health education teacher/consultant was hired for the second
semester. He was able to directly address many of the issues relating
to the curriculum and teaching of health education. Largely through his
efforts, two new programs were piloted: the Smoke-Free 2500 curriculum
in grade two and the physical limitations unit of the Disabilities
Awareness Starts Here (DASH) unit in grade five.
This position was unfortunately discontinued due to budget reductions.
For the third straight year North Andover received a grant from the
Governor's Alliance Against Drugs~ This grant will assist in the
attainment of three school and community objectives: improvement of the
current curriculum, training and operation of a high school peer
leadership program, and parent and community awareness of alcohol and
drug related problems and issues.

I am pleased to present at this time my twenty-ninth Annual Report.
During the past year the Fine Arts Department sponsored and took part in many
school and community programs and activities. The staff observed programs in
other schools, attended conferences, and took part in workshops. In
addition, four staff members received advanced degrees.
Our students took part in statewide competitions and programs such as
the Boston Globe Scholastic Art Awards Exhibit and Northeast Junior and
Senior District. Choral programs were presented by the N.A~H.S. Select Choir
and Chorus at concerts during the~year as well as at the N.A. Historical
Society, the N.A. Womens' Club, and the I.R.S. in Andover. Younger choral
members presented programs in the elementary schools and at the Collins
Center in Andover in an event sponsored by the Greater Lawrence Regional
Collaborative. N.A.H.S. choral members had the opportunity to attend a
Broadway show in New York City as well as to attend other cultural
activities. The N.A.H.S. Band took part in local civic events and parades
and resumed marching in Boston parades. A band camp, for all N.A.H.S. band
members will be resumed in August.
In addition to talent shows performed at various levels "A Young
Performing Artist Night" was very successfully reviewed this past year along
with a N.A.H.S. musical comedy, "Hello Dolly," under the musical direction of
Mr. Robert Specian. An original musical, "Blast from the Past," written by
Mrs~ Mary Snyder, was performed on several occasions by Thomson School
students for the student body, parents and senior citizens.
Both the "Ail Elementary Band" and "Ail Elementary Chorus" continue to
grow with close to one hundred students participating in the "All Elementary
Band" and over one hundred in the "All Elementary Chorus". Growth is also
evident in the Boston Conservatory program with offerings expanded to include
guitar and keyboard lessons as well as lessons being offered during the
summer.
Because of increased enrollment in art courses at N.A.H.S., Mr. Michael
Schena of the Industrial Arts Department~ taught several courses in
photography. Art courses were enhanced with increased utilization of
computer technology. In cooperation with the N.A.P.S, Enrichment Council and
N.A, Youth Services, art exhibits were set up in public buildings throughout
the town.
The Fine Arts Department is indebted to the Enrichment Council for the
75
scope of its services to our schools and the wide range of programs and
experiences it has provided all students in grades K-12. The Department is
also grateful to the N.A. Public Schools Music Associates for their
dedication and strong commitment to not only the music program but to the
entire educational program of the North Andover Public Schools. The Fine
Arts Department expresses its gratitude to the North Andover School
Committee, the Superintendent of Schools, the Associate Superintendent of
Schools, the administrative staff and the community for their support and
contributions to the development of the Fine Arts program in North Andover~

Special Education
The 1989-1990 school year was a significant one for the Special
Education Department in a number of areas. Increased efforts in earlier
identification of children with special needs in conjunction with federal
and state initiatives regarding integration resulted in the development of
North Andover's Integrated Preschool Program. At the Early Childhood Center,
integrated classes of prekindergarten and kindergarten children were
developed and jointly funded by regular and special education. At the
elementary level, increased efforts to service children using alternatives to
pullout instruction were undertaken. At the middle and high school levels,
responsibility for the coordination of special education evaluations was
assumed to a greater extent at the building level as a Department
Head/Chairperson position was eliminated.

A new data management system for computerized IEPs was instituted in the
1989~1990 school year which enhanced the school system's ability to produce
IEPs in a more timely mannert The program will also allow the Department to
76
chart student movement to more or less restrictive special education
programs, and generate school and class lists, progress report forms, and
information needed for state and federal reports.
Increased integration of children with special needs into regular
education programs was a key focus of the 1989-1990 school year, and one that
we anticipate will remain a significant goal in the years to come. A number
a staff in-service meetings were dedicated to this topic, culminating in a
day-long integration workshop in June 1990 facilitated by Donna Lehr, Ph.D.,
of Boston University.
Terri McLaughlin and Charlotte Rodgers assumed co-chairmanship of the
North Andover Parents Advisory Council (NAPAC), and under their direction a
variety of speakers and workshops were offered to promote parent
participation, information, and support for program which service children
with special education needs.

School L~braries
Elementary: School year 1989-90 was another busy and exciting one for
the elementary libraries. The librarians and their assistants were involved
in a full range of administrative/technical duties, an active schedule of
library skills classes, story times, classroom visits, and special programst
Two aspects of the elementary library program which bear special comment
for 89/90 are the implementation of strategies for the effective development
of the book collections, and the growing demand for audio-visual materials
and services.
There were two critical developments that impacted positively on the
growth of the elementary book collections in 89/90. First, year one of a
five-year fiscal plan to bring all the elementary library collections in line
with state recommended standards was implemented. These additional funds
meant it was possible to engineer significant overall growth for sub-standard
collections by beginning to fill critical gaps, replace outdated titles, and
develop subject depth to support key instructional areas in the new science
and social studies curricula. Secondly, the elementary librarians moved from
being liaisons for previous SARCs to serving as members of the Reading and
Language Arts SARCs. This facilitated setting the groundwork for vital links
between the new Reading/Language Arts curriculum and library collections/
programs. Unfortunately, budgetary constraints in FY 91 will prevent the
implementation of year two of the five-year plan, which could have focused in
part on this new curriculum.
1989/90 saw an increase of over 100% in the circulation of elementary
A-V software. This follows an increase of nearly 100K in 88/89~ Certainly
one factor contributing to this growth is a more efficient library-based
circulation procedure made feasible by the addition of a second elementary
librarian in 87/88 and focused on the timely processing of requests and
77
improved access to A-V reference assistance. Of greater significance has
been the slow, steady growth of an up-to-date A-V software collection based
on curriculum goals and instructional priorities. This has been accomplished
through the judicious use of modest building-based A-V budgets and critical
infusions of federal block grant dollars in both 88/89 and 89/90.
Sustained growth of an A-V operation is dependent on availability of
functioning hardware. The establishment of the A-V committee in Fall 89 to
evaluate existing hardware K-12, then develop a viable program for
prioritizing and meeting hardware needs systemwide was most timely.
While fiscal conditions dictate that library/media services systemwide
must function at a low maintenance level for the next fiscal year(s?), we can
take some solace in the fact that the strategies for future growth are in
place and need only an infusion of funds to move us forward.
Middle School: During 1989-90 at the middle school, not only was the
relationship between the curriculum and the library enhanced in regard to
research activities, but also a major effort was made to involve teachers and
students in reading a wide variety of both fiction and non-fiction materials.
North Andover Middle School is a school of students who read; here was a
natural arena for the library to be involved. We started a 20-Plus Club,
whereby any student who read 20 or more books in one year would receive a
reward. Ninety students achieved that goal; and at the end of the year, they
celebrated at a pizza party with a disc jockey. Middle School parents
provided funds, and Rick Gorman of the Town's Youth Services Division
provided the disc jockey at no cost to the school.
We also purchased an updated version of a computerized encyclopedia, the
use of which requires some of the same skills necessary for on-line
computerized searching. The students enjoyed using it and caught on quickly.
This was the first full year there were one and a half assistants in the
library, and the results were evident. Teacher requests for video-taping of
programs on M.E.T. were way up, and methods of borrowing materials and
keeping track of usage were streamlined. New and better equipment was made
available, and teachers used it frequently and asked for more.
Curriculum committees in Language Arts and Reading worked throughout the
year on revising the curriculum, finally joined forces, and decided to
strengthen and formalize the teaching of language arts skills through high
quality literature. This approach encourages a close relationship between
the library and the curriculum, which will be evident in the years to come.
I and two other school librarians worked on these two SARCs.
Our book collection continues to improve. Although we have not reached
our goal of 10,000 books, the collection is top-notch because of the
substantial budget for four consecutive years. Though the budget was cut
this year, some of the deficit was made up by federal block grant funds, as
will be the case next year. However, we will need one more year of a
substantial book budget to meet the quantity goal of our five-year plan. Our
greatest needs continue to be in the physical plant itself; until we expand
or move to larger quarters, some users will have to be turned away, and some
educational needs will not be met.
78
High School:
Attendance and Use: Use has increased dramatically: the number of
students using I.M.C. passes increased from 22,135 in 1988-89 to 23,890;
class attendance increased from 2,506 in 1988-89 to 2,740. Student
productivity and decorum was greatly improved this year due, in part, to not
having senior privileges in the library and to a more careful monitoring of
passes on the part of the I.M.C. staff. A.V. equipment experienced enormous
usage: 2,740 pieces of equipment were loaned this year. Again, we went
through 100 video tapes for off-air teacher-requested taping.
Collection Development: In a cooperative effort with the science
department, we made a substantial investment in the science collection this
year, thanks to block grant funding. Approximately 194 volumes were added to
the science and health areas.
We added shelving to our reference area, allowing more room for
expansion. We are continuing to build and update this collection: two sets
of general encyclopedias, an animal life encyclopedia, biographical sources
for Latin American writers and ancient writers, two-volume historical
statistics set, Play Index, Short Story Index and General Science Index. The
icing on the cake is our beautiful gothic-lettered sign created by an art
student.
New ~urniture: Eleven brand new sled-base fruitwood chairs now grace
our library. Ten more are on the way from the factory. We would like this
to be the beginning of a regular acquisition (and eventually replacement)
program in an effort to upgrade the library furniture.
Special Projects: As you know, I taught the E.S.L. class 4th period
four days a week until February, then five days a week for the rest of the
year. Obviously, this had a great impact on library service for other
students during that period. With the cutback in library personnel next
year, this type of special project may fall by the wayside. I was, however,
delighted with the opportunity to work intensively with these students.
Currently, we are working on a new slide/tape program for freshman
library orientation. We hope to be ready for the fall. Fortunately, we have
the benefit of Milli Matasso~s great expertise and Bob Dinsmore~s sound
system.
Inventory: As Mr. Goggin suggested, we performed a partial inventory.
This year~s inventory included Reference, 000, 100, 200, 300, 800,
professional, fiction, biography, and story collection. The losses are very
low in these areas. Next year we will work on 400, 500, 600, 700, and 900.
Doing a partial inventory was a great idea. It allowed us time to do a
thorough audio-visual equipment and library furniture inventory as well. We
are indebted to Mortice Kennedy for donating three days of her time to this
project. We would not have go~ten this far without her help.
BUSINESS SERVICES
This report will be divided in five sections covering buses, buildings,
energy, food services and personnel.
79
Section I - Buses
1. There were two incidents on the buses involving accident or injury.
A. An elementary student on Bus 13 fell while changing seats in the
moving bus. He sustained a cut requiring medical attention. This happened
on January 23, 1990.
B. Bus 2 was hit by a car on its Middle School run. The bus was
stopped at a traffic light, and a vehicle ran into the stopped bus. The
driver of the car was cited for driving under the influence of alcohol.
2. One driver was removed at our request after repeated warnings about
driving too fast.
3. The parent busing committee had its first full year of operation,
meeting five times during September, October and November. Thirty-nine
requests for additional service were heard, and thirty were recommended by
the Committee.
4. We had 149 field trips. This was the second highest total of the
past ten years. Two years ago, there were 156 trips; last year, there were
143 trips; and as already mentioned, this year there were 149 trips.

Section
During the school year, it was decided to remove one bus for the
1990-91 school year. We reported to the Superintendent that we would
be able to do this and have enough seats. However, transfer time at
the end of the school day is expected to increase. We have to expect
some complaints about this.
II - Building and Facilities
Because of budget reductions, many projects were placed on hold for
action in the future. Projects that were completed will be listed.
The bleachers in the High School field house were completely
8O
refurbished, including the addition of newly designed safety rails.
A nursery school area was established in the High School for a new
pre-school program.
Lavatory partitions and doors were repaired and replaced at both the
High and Middle Schools.
Additional parking was added to the High School area because of
increasing demand. Approximately 20 spaces were added.
Overhead doors were installed in the High School field house and
weight room. Conventional garage doors were replaced with heavy
metal roll-up doors.
Two exhaust fans were added in the science labs of the High School.
Also, two stockrooms were ventilated with smaller fans.
8. A new emergency generator was installed in the Middle school,
replacing a failed unit which was not repairable,
10.
11.
An empty oil tank was moved from the Middle School, This had not
been used for many years.
The Franklin and Kittredge Schools had new rugs installed in the
portable.
New portable units were installed at the Atkinson and Bradstreet
schools.
12. A contract was awarded to remove asbestos from the Thomson School.
This work will be done during the summer of 1990.
13. The kitchen at the Franklin School was refurbished. New ceilings and
some new equipment were installed, and the floor was painted.
14. New lighting was installed in the Atkinson kitchen, and the kitchen
was painted.
15. Two classrooms at the Bradstreet were relighted with fluorescent
tubes, replacing incandescent bulbs.
16. Miscellaneous painting was done throughout the system.
17. Three small rooms at the Middle School were refurbished for class
USe.
Section III - Energy
Heating requirements are measured in degree days. If the temperature
for one day is taken every hour and averaged, the resulting number is
subtracted from 65. For example, an average over twenty-four hours
of 60 would result in 5 degree days. We have records since 1974 and
keep careful check. Several times, we have received calls from
people who have been referred to us by Stevens Library for
information on degree days.
81
Comparisons are made to a 30-year average to get a relative handle on
how severe a winter has been. The 30-year average is 5593. We list
nine years (July 1 to June 30).
Yea¥ Degree Days Variation from 30 Year Ave.
1989-90 5774 + 3.2%
1988-89 5621 + 0.5%
1987-88 5962 + 6.6%
1986-87 5929 + 6.0%
1985-86 5579 - 0.8%
1984-85 5546 1.13%
1983-84 5781 + 2.85%
1982-83 5121 8.81%
1981-82 6024 + 7.17%
Note that 1982-83 was about 9% warmer than average, and the 1981-82
was 7% colder than average. We had a 16% swing in one year. Also,
last year was slightly above average. I think that this is reflected
in consumption. It is this uncertainty which makes the budgeting of
energy difficult. We have an additional variable in a floating cash
price. These two variables combine to render the prediction of
energy costs an inexact science at best.
We show a listing of oil consumption since 1976-77. This was the
base year for me as it was my first year in North Andover. I make a
comparison of our use since that time and project the total savings
over the years of my tenure.

We have plotted a graph of #4 oil consumption since 1976-77. This
graph shows steady patterns of reduced use for 10 years, but then we
see an upward surge for three years~ This past year, we saw a
downturn, which we will strive to keep.

Over 13 years, this is an average of over $124,000 per year.
Effective December 1, 1989, our billing was changed to a demand system
as opposed to a simple use system. Please note that in the High
School table above, cost per KWH went from 6.9 cents to 8.5 cents~
This is an increase of 24 percent.
When we budgeted in October, Mass. Electric suggested that we carry a
5 percent increase to cover the change to demand billing. The actual
result of 24 percent indicates that we budgeted approximately 19
percent low. We estimate that the electric budget of $249,000 should
be $300,000. This should be addressed by reassigning funds. Also,
the 1991-92 budget should be based on this information. Expect an
overrun of $50,000 on the 1990-91 budget.
83
Section IV - Food Service
1. 1989-90 marked the sixth full year of operation with Richard Poutenis
as Food Service Director.
The financial situation has dropped during the past year. Mr.
Poutenis took over an operation which was showing a loss and built it
back to a solid profit situation, but it now seems to be headed
downward.

Because of the steady decrease of the cash balance, Mr. Poutenis and I
recommended an increase of lunch prices from 75 cents to $1.00. The
School Committee approved, and the new prices went into effect on May
1. The cash balance has shown some recovery since the increase. Mr,
Poutenis has said that he expects to be able to hold this price for at
least two years.
We participated in a Goodwill Industries training program. Several
people passed through the system, one of whom was hired as a full-time
employee. We feel that this was a successful venture, and we plan to
participate in 1990-91 if Goodwill has another training program.

Section V - Personnel
1. Bernard DiMambro received a permanent appointment as a. Senior
Custodian.
George Riley resigned to move out of state. George Nussbaum was
appointed as a provisional custodian to fill the position.
Victor Javierre resigned to pursue a career in heating, ventilating,
and air conditioning (HVAC). His position will remain unfilled until
September, when a custodian will be appointed.
David Deschenes, a college student working part-time, has finished his
education. We do not expect him back in September.
One person was assigned to the Summer Program by the Greater Lawrence
Community Action Council. He worked at the High School.
Two people were assigned to the Middle School by a program from the
North Andover Youth Center.
7. Both programs provided part-time employment for youth
financed by the sponsor rathe~ than the school budget.
Closing
and were
This is my last annual report prior to retirement. I would be remiss
were I not to thank all those who have helped me over the past fourteen
years.
Specifically, I think of the Central Office staff, who have been a
bulwark over the entire time period. Special mention should go to Margaret
Smith, Assistant to the Superintendent. Finally, I should like to thank Amy
Delle Chiaie, who has spent many hours deciphering my illegible scrawl and
producing legible, typed reports and letters.
Thanks go also to all the Principals, the school secretaries, ABC Bus
Company, Public Works (Mr. Niman) and the Highway Department (Mr. Cyr).
Finally, thanks are extended to Dr. Blaisdell and Mr. Martin for their
guidance and leadership.
