Town of North Andover Massachusetts ANNUAL REPORT FY 1989 This Annual Report is Dedicated to the Memory of: Edward W. Phelan 8/28/15 - 7/17/88) Ted Phelan served North Andover for 41 years on the Board of Assessors. His willingness to serve and his dedication to that office, and through it, to the people of the Town of North Andover were exemplary. A devoted family man and the father of ten children, Ted Phelan still found time to contribute importantly to his parish life of St. Michael's Church. In every way - service to his community, devotion to his family, commitment to his church, Ted Phelan was, and will always be remembered, as an outstanding and valued citizen of the Town of North Andover. Fire Chief James P. Daw (6/12/16 - 10/31/89) Jim Daw served the Town for 32 years as a member of the North Andover Fire Department. A speaker at his retirement party summed up his career best when he said "He served his Town well and with honesty". Chief Daw received his permanent appointment in October, 1950, he was appointed Chief in August of 1954, and he retired in January of 1978. He brought about many changes during his years as Chief-- first full response to fire, Station 2 in the Old Center, EMS Ambulance Service, new fire alarm system, and the number of men increased from 8 to 50. He was the first person from this area to volunteer for service to his country when he entered the army January 22, 1940. He was discharged January 12, 1945, as a Master Sergeant. He saw service in England and North Africa with the First Division where he was wounded in action. He loved his Town and the Fire Department and was a dedicated father and husband. provided as a ¢'ourtesv of the Noptln Andov~[' C2tizen newspaper', Ail of the~e pl-otog fir'st ~ppea:'ec~ ~ The Citizen.

General Government BOARD OF SELECTMEN FY 89 was a year of upheaval and change for the Town of North Andover. The Board of Selectmen, in their annual reorganization, selected Kenneth Crouch as Chairman and Francis Dugan as Chairman of the Licensing Commission. Charles Salisbury was selected to fill out the position as Clerk of the Board. Expected use of the Town Farm site for a new elementary school became technically complicated. After much deliberation and discussion with the School Building Committee, the Board submitted an article to a March Special Town Meeting to purchase a fifteen-acre parcel of the Calzetta Farm on Johnson Street. The meeting approved of the purchase, and the land is now undergoing planning and design of a twenty-five classroom elementary school which will help to ease an overcrowding problem that the school system has faced. Efforts to protect Lake Cochickewick were bolstered by the completion of the purchase of the 100+ acre Mazurenko Farm property. Substantial improvement has been made by the removal of the barns and house remains, and the construction of a parking area and the entrance to various hiking trails. Following successful efforts to stop incineration at the Greater Lawrence Sanitary District, the Ad Hoc Committee turned its efforts toward reducing further emissions from the plant. Representatives of the Massachusetts Department of Environment Protection have become active in policing the operations of the plant, and recently, the Attorney General's Office has assigned staff to prepare a consent order which would provide for better control over the emissions from the District. Waste materials from the plant which were formerly burned in the incinerator are now being trucked to landfills in other parts of the state, where the processed waste 'Naturite" is used to cap and secure landfill sites. Sensing a reduction in revenues for the next fiscal year, the Board of Selectmen established a Budget Policy Statement which called for a total increase in expenditures of not more than 4%. At the Annual Town Meeting, however, at the urging of the Advisory Board, voters approved a budget spending $900,000 more than expected revenues. Contributing further to our budgetary woes was news from the state that our Local Aid Receipts would be decreased by $770,000, further jeopardizing Town programs. Responding to this, the Board of Selectmen scheduled a gathering of all Town officials at the Community Center and subsequently, scheduled joint meetings with the Advisory Board and School Committee to reach a unified solution to our financial problems. The joint committees decided to call for a reduction of the total budget by $600,000 and scheduled a vote for a Proposition 2 1/2 override in the fall which was successfully approved. In an effort to reduce the effects of the override vote upon the residential property owners, and to promote equality in the taxing of commercial property, the Selectmen instituted classification of commercial and industrial property at a rate of 1.08 times the residential rate. This had the effect of setting the new tax rates at $9.82 for business and $8.91 for residences which makes our rates comparable to those of other Merrimack Valley communities. Following six years of service on the Board of Selectmen, Christine Smith chose not to seek re-election in March of 1989. A spirited election chose Sean Fountain as the newest Selectman. We also welcome the following employees: Kevin Mahoney - Finance Director Jean Sullivan - Accountant Garret Boles - Chief Assessor Judith Kellerer - Administrative Assistant to the Town Manager Richard Gorman - Director of Youth Services Christian Huntress - Assistant Town Planner Richard Doucette - Conservation Administrator Stephanie Level-Foley - Food Sanitarian Michael Gagnon - Assistant Building Inspector A new Department, Youth Services, came under Town control in January. This program, which had been started by the Board of Trade, is responsible for providing information, counselling, and activities for the Junior and Senior High School youth of our Town. Under the able leadership of Rick Gorman, the Department has overseen the activities of "Teenco", an organization of middle school age, and "No Expectations", which comprises high school age boys and girls. As one of their activities, the groups operated the food stand at Steven's Pond. They also participated in the Fourth of July activities and various parades. The group met several times weekly to plan activities. Another facet of the Department is the newly created Juvenile Diversion program which is implemented through the court system. This program allows first offenders to work at several jobs such as cleaning Town facilities, and with successful completion of the program, the youth's record is cleared. Rick has several new programs proposed for the coming months, and the Department is gaining state- wide recognition for their efforts. Town Manager Paul Sharon resigned his post at the end of July, citing frustration with the budget process and recognizing the Town's need for a change in management. We are grateful to Paul for his efforts in implementing the Charter and his abilities in dealing with the water and development problems which the Town faces. We will miss him. The Board of Selectmen moved rapidly to fill the void left by Mr. Sharon, and after discussing possibilities with numerous candidates, selected James P. Gordon for the job as Acting Town Manager. Jim has an extensive financial background and has previously served on the Advisory Board an School Committee. We recognize the tough job ahead of Jim and wish him much success. We wish to thank the loyal staff in the Town Manager's office, Judith Kellerer, Karen Robertson, Lori Harrison and Ann Marie Barnes for their attention to detail and willingness to go the extra mile to serve the public. Respectfully submitted, Kenneth C. Crouch, Chairman Charles A. Salisbury Francis X. Dugan Robert Ercolini Sean J. Fountain ADVISORY BOARD In 1989, the Advisory Board began its budget review process by assessing the needs of North Andover. It became clear that the estimated revenues (without user fees or levy limit overrides) were no longer sufficient to meet the needs of our Town. At the Town Meetln~ in May, we presented to the assembly a needs based budget which was adopted. During the summer, the state's fiscal woes came to bear on all the towns in Massachusetts. North Andover now needed an additional $800,000 to balance the budget. To solve this problem, the Board of Selectmen, the School Committee and the Advisory Board began to meet as a group on Saturday's during the summer. This process increased the communications between the three boards and enabled us to effectively deal with the unbalanced budget. This effort culminated in late September/early October with the passage of a $1,200,000 levy limit override combined with a Special Town Meeting to decrease appropriations by $600,000. These joint meetings have continued as we start the fiscal 1991 budget process. Inflation, desperately needed capital improvements, limited new growth and continuing problems at the state level will make fiscal 1991 another difficult year for the budget process. Town Meeting approved a reserve fund of $150,000 for the year. During the year, the Advisory Board approved transfers from the reserve fund of $147,747.27 as follows: School Building Committee - hazardous waste review Town Clerk - Special Town Meetings and printing Personnel - physicals Fire Department - overtime Police Department - overtime School Department - ~peeial needs $ 7,000.00 3,000.00 700.04 38,000.00 35,000.00 64,047.23 $147,747.27 We say goodbye to Richard Katis and Tom O'Donohue who left the Advisory Board at the end of the year. We thank them for their work and contributions to the Board. In addition, we welcome our new members, Mary Leu Crafton, Paul Forte, Martha Larson and Donald Rogers. Respectfully submitted, Eric Bakerman, Chairman John T. Chmielecki Joe Gates Elliot Katzman Richard Katis Guenter Loeser Tom O'Donohue TOWN ACCOUNTANT A report of the financial operations of the Town for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1989, was as follows: The total sum appropriated for budgetary accounts was $16,177,248 in salaries and $10,180,015 in expenses. $150,000 was transferred from the overlay surplus account to a Reserve Fund under Article 51, to provide for extraordinary or unforeseen expenditures. $78,600 was transferred from the Stabilization Fund to fund the following: $27,600 - officer Protection Program $21,000 - Paving Parking Areas - Kittredge School $30,000 - Visitors Stand Hayes Stadium Town Meeting also appropriated $194,630 under separate articles; $400,000 of free cash was used to reduce the tax rate and authorization was given to bond $1,251,104 for various projects. On July 1, 1988, long-term debt balance outstanding was $3,015,000; $5,530,000 additional long-term debt was borrowed and $660,000 was retired, leaving a balance outstanding of $7,885,000 at June 30, 1989.

Mahoney, Director Division of Finance Division of Planning & Community Development 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 regarding land use and development related issues, as well as the enforcement of state and local regulations pertaining to their areas of expertise. 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. Respectfully submitted, Karen H. P. Nelson, Director Division of Planning & Community Development Janet L. Eaton, Adm. Secretary APPEALS OFFICE The Board of Appeals had a very busy year with twelve (12) regular meetings and two (2) special meetings, plus two (2) requests for reconsideration. Many petitions were received requesting both a variance, Special Permit or Party Aggrieved. A petition for a commercial building, as well as a townhouse development were reviewed by the Board, and approved. These types of petitions are governed by the Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 40A, 'The Zoning Act' and the local zoning bylaw. The Board held public hearings on twenty-eight (28) Special Permits, thirty-eight (38) variances, eight (8) party aggrieved and one earth removal permit during the past year. These requests concerned reducing setback requirements, frontage and area variances, as well as family suites, conversions to multi-family dwellings, building within one hundred (100) feet of a tributary to the lake, division of lots, day care centers and the townhouse development. Regular meetings are scheduled for each month on the second Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. in the Selectmen's Meeting Room in the Town Building unless otherwise advertised. We would like to welcome Raymond A. Vivenzio as a regular member of the Board effective August 1, 1989, and also would like to express 13 our sincere thanks to former Vice Chairman Alfred E. Frizelle for his many years of dedicated service to both the Board and the Town of North Andouer. We wish him well in all his future endeavors. Respectfully submitted, Frank Serio, Jr., Chairman Alfred E. Frizelle, Vice Chairman Augustine Nickerson, Clerk William J. Sullivan Walter E. soule Associate Members: Raymond A. Vivenzio Anna O'Connor Louis Rissin, DMD Audrey W. Taylor, Secretary BUILDING OFFICE New residential construction continued to decline both in permits issued and monetary values in this fiscal year. Showing strong and stable through the year were residential additions and alterations, condominiums, apartments, new commercial and industrial buildings, as well as commercial and industrial addition and alteration projects. The department is self-sustaining, once again, through $203,717 collected in permit fees and submitted to the Town Treasurer. On November 14, Mr. Michael J. Gagnon assumed his duties as our newly appointed full-time Assistant Building Inspector. "Mike" has a wealth of knowledge in building inspection, having come from the Tyngsboro Building Department. His arrival also completes, for efficiency, the re-vamping of the building inspection services which began in March of 1988.

Mangano, Plumbing & Gas Inspector Gilda A. Blackstock, Secretary CONSERVATION OFFICE 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 and works directly with the Conservation Commission. The Commission is comprised of seven volunteer members appointed by the Board of Selectmen for three-year terms. The Conservation Commission administers the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act and the Town's Wetlands Protection ByLaw. The administration and enforcement of 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 land 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 Nabitat Any construction (permanent structure, addition, roadway, driveway, etc.) planned in or near any wetland requiree a permit from the Conservation Commission. Public meetings are held every two weeks to review projects and hold public hearings. The Commission is also responsible for the Town's open space, conservation easements and restrictions and for preserving agricultural lands. In Fiscal Year 1989, the Commission held 29 meetings, 103 public hearings and 20 sets of site inspections. 39 new Notices of Intent and 34 Requests for Determination were filed. Also, 41 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. The Town voted at the May 1989 Annual Town Meeting to update the Town's Wetlands Bylaw by adding wildlife as a protectable interest and allowing the Commission to set user fees by regulation. The Attorney General did not approve the Town Meeting vote to impose consultant fees on developers. In Fiscal Year 1990, the Conservation Commission will be devoting its energies to the creation of an appropriate fee structure, implementation of Management Plans for the Mazurenko Farm and the Town Forest, the construction of a boat ramp on the Merrimack River and the development of a database for the Commission's files. The Commission would like to thank Arthur Resca, Lois Bruinoge and Guillermo Vicens for their many years of dedicated service to the Conservation Commission and the Town of North Andover. Their knowledge and commitment to preserving the Town's natural resources will be missed. The Commission would also like to welcome Bob Mansour as a returning member, as well as our new Conservation Administrator, Richard Doucette. Respectfully Submitted, Paul Tariot, Chairman William Sousa, Vice-Chairman Guillermo Vicens Carl Schoene Deborah Moore Robert Mansour Arthur Resca Richard P. Doucette, Administrator Marie Boudrot, Secretary Victor Mejias, Intern 16 OFFICE The Health Office was expanded this past year with the addition of a full-time Food/Health Inspector, Stephanie J. L. Foley. She has been actively involved with upgrading the food establishment inspection program. A review of the permit fees showed a need to increase the charges for the following permits: - Food service (50 seats or more) $150.00 (less than 50 seats) 100.00 - Limited food service 50.00 - Retail food (1500 sq. ft. or more) 150.00 (less than 1500 sq. ft.) 100.00 - Limited Retail 50.00 - Caterer - 50.00 - Mobile food service 50.00 - Seasonal 50.00 - Farm stand - 50.00 - Home cook - 15.00 - T6mporary food service 15.00 - Swimming pools - 50.00 Greater Lawrence Sanitary District The Board of Health was .very involved with the odor problems associated with the Greater Lawrence Sanitary District. A twenty-four hour odor hotline, as well as a health survey was initiated, and the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) worked with us to try to control the odor problem that has created nuisance to the Town's residents. Hazardous Waste Pick-Up The Andover Hoard of Health joined with us in creating our first hazardous waste pick-up day. Because of its success, it has been decided to have these pick-ups on an regular basis. Flu Clinic Two flu clinics were held during the month of November. These clinics are headed by Grace Coupal in the Health office. Our physician, Dr. Francis MacMillan, and chairman of the Board, Dr. John Rizza, along with the public health nurse, Carrie Crouch, and all the North Andover school nurses (Marge Garrity, Virginia Foulds, Jean Able, and Glenda Stewart), made the clinic a success. Eight hundred ninety- one senior citizens and Town employees participated in the event. This clinic is an annual program that takes place every fall. Reportable Diseases The public health nurse received 93 reportable diseases all of which were investigated. The result of the investigations were sent to the Massachusetts Center of Communicable Diseases in Boston. 17 Health Aaents The Board's two agents were very active with septic systems and food establishment inspections. Other complaints investigated by the staff included, housing, food, illegal dumping, odor, nuisances and various other problems. Permits Issued - Burial Permits 55 - Disposal Works Const.

L. Foley, Food/Health Agent Carrie Crouch, Public Health Nurse Grace Coupal, Health Clerk PLANNING OFFICE The Planning Office has experienced several changes in the past year. Mr. Scott Stocking, Town Planner, and Mr. Stephen Madaus, Environmental Planner, have both left North Andover for emplo!rment in the private sector. We have been joined by Mr. Christian Huntress who has recently taken the position of Acting Town Planner. Mr. Huntress has been responsible for the review of all applications before the Planning Board and is currently working closely with the other land use offices and the Division of Public Works. Due to the new zoning regulations which were voted in at the 1987 Annual Town Meeting, all new development in Town have been required to meet a higher quality standard. In some of the larger development projects presented to the Planning Board over the last year, we have been able to preserve a greater percentage of open space through the use of perpetual conservation restrictions. These efforts coincide with the goals and objectives outlined in the Town's Open Space Plan, as well as the State's Bay Circuit Greenbelt Program. Any future development of these properties are protected by prohibiting development through an agreed upon restriction between the Town and landowner. The following is a brief overview of the highlights of 1988/1989: Development Pro~ects from July, 1988, to June, 1989 Definitive Subdivision Applications: Definitive Subdivision Approvals: Site Plan Review/Special Permits Applications: 21 Site Plan Review/Special Permits Approved: 18 The number of Form A applications (Approval Not Required Plans) presented to the Board have been steady throughout the year.

Huntress, Acting Town Planner 2o Division of Public Works The following is a summary of activities within the Division of Public Works for the period of July 1, 1988, to June 30, 1989. Water SUDUlV & Distribution There were installed in 1988-1989, 2385 feet of twelve-inch, 6670 feet of eight-inch, 250 feet of six-inch ductile iron pipe; 7 twelve- inch, 18 eight-inch, and 19 six-inch gate valvss; and 17 fire hydrants. The water main distribution system now consists of 140.95 miles of main pipe; 6 twelve-inch check valves; 4 twelve-inch altitude valves; 30 twelve-inch, 14 ten-inch, 499 eight-inch, 1642 six-inch, and 4 four- inch gate valves, with 1064 public hydrants. Size of Pipe (inches) 14 12 10 8 6 4 3 Length of Pipe (feet) 784 206,314 7840 243,402 263,655 1262 160 There were installed in 1988-1989, either wholly or partially, 175 water services. The new and renewed water services equalled 361.5 type "k" copper service pipe. 177 new meters were installed and 37 old meters were repaired. 3 fire hydrants broken off by cars were replaced and 16 water main or service leaks were repaired. All hydrants were inspected, repaired, and painted where necessary. The annual inspection of the 2,400 gate valves and valve boxes in the system were completed. The annual hydrant flushing of the entire distribution system was completed in May. Fluoridation has been completely maintained by the Public Works Department and levels monitored by both ourselves and the State Department of Environmental Engineering. A semi-annual inspection of backflow prevention devices and check valves between the public water supply and other sources of supply for industrial and commercial uses have been made by this department as part of our cross-connection monitoring program. In August, 1988, bids were received for replacement of water mains as part of the Town's ongoing water distributing system rehabilitation program. A contract was awarded to C. F. McDonough Construction for $508,987.29, and two contracts were awarded to J. Tropeano and Sons for a total of $958,502.18. McDonough Construction has replaced 260 feet of pipe on Beacon Hill Blvd., 1250 feet of pipe on Elm Street and is continuing work on Greene Street. J. Tropeano & Sons is installing new twelve-inch pipe on Man Street and will also replace pipe on Middlesex Street, Third Street and Herrick Road. 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 2! cryptosporidium testing program. There are also organism programs for testing volatile organic compounds and lead levels in the school system. In October, Weston & Sampson Engineers of Wakefield, MA, assumed responsibility for the construction supervision of the Water Treatment Plant. In addition to the construction supervision, Weston & Sampson performed a thorough design review of the project. As a result of the recommendation, significant revisions to the design were undertaken. These necessary design changes resulted in a 12-month delay, as well as a $3 million increase in the cost of the project. The anticipated completion date for the project is now January, 1991. However, the plant will actually be on-line during the fall of 1990.

Sewage Collection & Treatment The North Andover sewerage is designed to flow in three divisions: the east side drainage area with its trunk sewer following Lake Cochichewick to the Merrimack River; the west side drainage area with its trunk on Massachusetts Avenue and Waverley Road; and along the Shawsheen River to the Merrimack River; and the central drainage area bounded by Waverley Road, Middlesex Street, and Main Street to the Merrimack River by way of the Greater Lawrence Sewerage Treatment Plant. Maintenance was performed on municipal sewers. Ail mains were inspected, cleaned and flushed in the spring. A study of the extension of new sewerage facilities along the Route 114 corridor has been completed by the LEA Group. The study also evaluated the capacity of the existing West Side Trunk Sewer and integrated surrounding areas of future growth into an overall plan for sewering this most developable part of Town. Work began on a Town-wide existing system and future needs. L~A Group. facilities study to evaluate the The study is being performed by the Design of sewers along the South Side of Lake cochichewick began. Phase I will extend the sewer system in Great Pond Road from Pleasant Street to Coachman's Lane. Weston & Sampson Engineers, Inc., are designing the sewer extension. Construction will take place during the 1990 season. Phase II will extend the sewer system in Great Pond Road towards South Bradford Street. Additionally, it will serve Brentwood Circle and a portion of Bridle Path. LEA Group is designing the sewer extension. Construction is expected to take place in 1991.

Removed approximately 50 large dead problem trees with the rental of a Skyworker bucket truck. Planted 14 trees at various locations around Town. Also, shrubs were planted in the island at the intersections of Salem Street and Appleton Streets. Flowers were planted at the Town Garage, Town Building and Veterans Memorial Common. Approximately 100 trees were liquid fed. All public areas and guardrails were sprayed with "Round Up" to kill poison ivy an~ weeds. Herbicides were sprayed on shoulders of rural roads to control the regrowth of weeds and brush. 25 Plavuround Maintenance The playground system consists of Grogan's Field, 4.7 acres; Drummond Field, 5.0 acres; American Legion Beach, 1.4 acres; Carl A. Thomas Playground, 4.7 acres; Aplin, 1.8 acres; Chadwick Street Playground, 3.0 acres - a total of 20.6 acres. In preparation for a very busy summer season, the following work was completed: existing swing sets and see-saws were repaired and painted. Playground equipment was installed at all playgrounds and the bathing beach. Benches were repaired and replaced at the playgrounds as needed. Sand was spread over the bathing beach to improve the swimming area. The 38th annual swimming meet was sponsored by the Veterans of Foreign Wars, Post #2104, on August 13, 1989, and as usual was a great success. The beach was open from June 20, 1989, until September 4, 1989. Over 2,000 swimming lessons were given by Director Walter Roberts and the other lifeguards. Baseball diamonds at the Aplin Playgrounds, the Pony League behind the High School and the Varsity Fields, as well as baseball diamonds at the Drummond, Carl Thomas, and Grogan's Field, are used seven days a week during the summer season and require constant maintenance. Parks & School Grounds Maintenance The park areas now consists of the Center Common, 8.1 acres; training grounds, 1.9 acres; Memorial Park, 2.7 acres; Old Burying Ground, 1 acre; Historical society Plot; Farrington Burying Grounds; and 20 small plots at street intersections - a total of 13.7 acres.

Bleachers were repaired and repainted as required. Baseball fields, track and field facilities, field hockey, soccer and football fields all required constant upkeep for competitive school events and practice. Snow pipes were placed along driveways at all the schools to prevent snow plows from damaging turf and trees. Street Maintenance New drainage was installed on Johnson Street for approximately 180 1.f. to eliminate bad flooding conditions. The crossdrain at Greene Street was replaced for approximately 50 ft., and drainage was 26 installed at Carl Thomas Playground to eliminate a washout through the little league field. New catch basin units were installed at various locations including Johnson Street, Greene Street, and Morningside Lane. Installed granite for approximately 150 ft. on School Street and approximately 100 ft. on Sutton Street. The following streets were sealed with oil: Barker Street, Abbott Street, Marbleridge Street, Streets, Bay State Road, Beacon Hill Boulevard, Winter Street. Bradford Street, Wesley and Innis Foster Street and The following streets were all or partly paved: Old Clark Street off Sutton Street, Clark Street by Holt Road, and a section on Great Pond Road from Bonny Lane to Brooks School entrance. Waverley Road was resurfaced from Railroad Square to Greene Street, Morningside Lane, Meadowview, Essex Street, and Great Pond Road were also paved. A new parking lot was constructed on Bradford Street at Mazurenko Property. The curve at the Old Center by the church was reconstructed, and granite was put all along the edge for approximately 150 1.f. total. The intersection of Great Pond Road and Marbleridge Road was redesigned and reconstructed. Constructed a sidewalk on the north side of Great Pond Road. Power swept all streets, hand swept all sidewalks, and dug all catch basins. Maintained all street signs and maintained all parks, triangles, athletic fields, and schools. Public Works responded to and repaired $ water main breaks, and cleaned approximately 46 sewer main blockages. Approximately 1,500 catch basins were cleaned by machine and 500 by hand between the months of April, May and June. Approximately 80 sand barrels were filled throughout the winter months at certain locations in Town for residents to use. Snow fences were put at various locations throughout the Town. Solid Waste Collection & Disposal Rubbish collection was carried out throughout the year by Town crews. 9,405 tons were collected and disposed of at the resource recovery facility on Old Clark and Holt Roads. The Town is a member of the Northeast Solid Waste Committee (N.E.S.W.C.) Town crews discontinued the practice of large item special pick up due to problems with the disposal of white goods. Alternatively, Town crews now pick up one bulky item per residence per week with the regular rubbish. Glass and newspapers are recycled on a voluntary basis. 27 Bulk leave collections were carried out during November and into December. The Sharpner's Pond recycling area was opened on Wednesdays and Saturdays from May through December. Respectfully submitted, Paul S. Niman, Director Division of Public Works Public Safety ANIMAL INSPECTOR During the past fiscal year, I have inspected the animals and the farm conditions on four large beef and dairy farms, as well as two small beef cattle farms. Two farms were visited on several occasions in order to comply with state regulations for the importation of dairy and beef cattle. I also visited five large horse farms in order to inspect the animals and the farm conditions. Eighteen calls were made to inspect back yard horses, goats and miscellaneous farm animals. Health certificates were issued to the farms and premises mentioned above. Fifty-five dogs and cats were vaccinated for rabies at the animal clinic. Seven dogs were quarantined as rabies suspects. Respectfully submitted, Robert Atwood, DMV CIVIL DEFENSE This past year was again, thankfully, uneventful from civil Defense emergencies. The Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC), under the capable chairmanship of Fire Chief William Dolan, continues to meet, and the hazardous material (HAZMAT) response plan for our community is fairly well developed. During this reporting period, we Darticipated in several simulated emergency communications exercises which included Fire, Police and Public Works Departments which were critique to determine each community's emergency preparedness. In each instance our community met the required response criteria. The completed, approved Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CEMP) has been distributed to our community by Massachusetts civil Defense. This document will be reviewed and updated on an annual basis. We continue our eligibility to receive federal matching funds for 50% of Civil Defense salaries and certain administrative expense under the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). FEMA still has no surplus property program. Our 220Mhz repeater was down for maintenance for several months. We are now awaiting overhaul of the power amplifier, but are operational on a low-power basis until its return. We are still attempting to find a new location for the replacement antenna for the one that was destroyed when the iron railing broke in the middle of a severe windstorm. We deeply appreciate Mr. Benjamin Farnum allowing us the use of his property on Boston Hill to house the repeater and mount our antenna. This repeater gives us a splendid 24-hour communications capability including phone patch using our hand held transceivers. 29 Our RACES group continues to exercise our equipment monthly with the Massachusetts civil Defense Agency and all equipment is utilized on a weekly basis. The following are members of our RACES Communications group: Mr. Joseph Sullivan, Jr., Communications Officer; William Sherlock, Carleton Wilson, Douglas Wilson, Richard Slade, Leonard Somers, Gerald Rowen, David Upton, Joseph Demers, and Edward Adams. Mr. Joseph Whitehead and Ernest Harvey make up our Citizens Band cadre. Mr. Sullivan conducts local training classes annually to train individuals to qualify for novice radio amateur licenses. Interested parties should contact Mr. Sullivan or the undersigned for class information. The Auxiliary Police still conduct vandalism patrols of Town facilities, playgrounds, public schools under the direction of the local police force. Police Chief Richard Stanley continues to utilize their services, as required, to assist the local force in crowd control during Town functions and parades. Thanks to Chief Stanley, the Auxiliary Police have obtained one of the better cruisers which was scheduled for turn-in last year. We owe a debt of gratitude to Chief Stanley and the local department for their continuing excellent support of the Auxiliary Police force and our Civil Defense efforts. The following are current members of our Auxiliary Police group with Sgt. Richard C. Boettcher commanding: Executive officer Ernest Harvey, Patrolmen Joseph Sullivan, Jr., Steven Broderick, Daniel C. Cronin, Raymond D. MacLean, Ms. C. Susan Northam, and Jay Staude. We regret the loss of charter member Carl Wagoner who was forced to resign due to his many activities which kept him fully occupied. As in the past, we continue to conduct a search for selective volunteers willing to de~ote time to Civil Defense as either staff officers, communications (must possess a valid FCC license), or Auxiliary Police (must be capable of passing a background investigation conducted by the local police). Full consideration will be granted regardless of sex, race or creed. Information may be obtained by contacting the undersigned or any member of our group. I wish to take this opportunity to again thank all the various boards and individuals for the excellent support they have rendered to our organization during this reporting period: The Honorable Board of Selectmen, Town Manager, Advisory Board, all Town department heads and staffs, Police Chief Richard M. Stanley and the local Police Department, Fire Chief William V. Dolan and his fire fighters, EMT's and dispatchers. I wish to extend my personal thanks to Communications officer Joseph Sullivan, Jr., for his continuing efforts of all technical communications matters and Sgt. Richard C. Boettcher and his Auxiliary Police force for carrying out their mission and volunteering many hours to the community. This is also my opportunity to thank Deputy Civil Defense Director John J. Lyons for his time and efforts in support of the civil Defense mission. Respectfully submitted, John J. Coco, civil Defense Director 30 FIR~ DEPARTMENT The following is a report for the Fire Department for the period from July 1, 1988, to June 30, 1989. The first six months of this report was tabulated by hand, the second half was done using the Town's computer system which allowed for a more detailed report. However, this led to an amalgamation of the figures for both halves resulting in broader category totals for the first half and more specific for the second half.

On November 8, 1988, Firefighter Rich Bradley, while off duty, came to the assistance of a pedestrian struck by a motor vehicle on Mass. Ave. and stayed with response personnel through the incident and drove the ambulance to the hospital. On November 19, 1988, at a fire at the RESCO plant, Firefighter Bob Fogarty was seriously injured in a fall from a ladder which broke his knee, collar bone, four ribs and resulted in a head laceration. We are glad to report that on October 2, 1989, Bob returned to duty. In December of 1988, several youngsters were injured as a car went out of control on Main Street. Off-duty Firefighters Dan Glynn and Bill Tomkiewicz responded to aid the victims as did on-duty personnel. On January 4, 1989, the Department responded to a fire at the Municipal Garage on Osgood Street. While fire personnel located and suppressed the fire, DPW personnel assisted by removing all Town vehicles from the garage area. This effort on their part eliminated the possible loss and down time of DPW operations. On January 12, 1989, Dispatcher Paul Morin successfully instructed the parents of a choking child in airway management over the telephone until the ambulance arrived. Anyone who attended the May 2, 1989, Town Meeting witnessed first hand the cooperation and coordination of the services provided to Mr. William Chepulis who had collapsed at the microphone. Cooperation, effort and the personal caring by this departments' employees and other Town employees is paramount to the delivery of service. These people are the greatest resource in the delivery of service to the Townspeople. These efforts may be considered to be part of their job, but the personal interest they take in doing it right is the key to the quality of the service that they deliver. We greatly appreciate the support that the Town has given us which allows us to continue to serve you. Respectfully, William V. Dolan Fire Chief 32 POLICE DEPARTMENT During 1989, several major events have taken place within the Police Department. The first has been the availability of Law Enforcement Television Network, which is a state-of-the-art method to provide training to all members of the Police Department. Programming in crime related topics, health, self defense and news are aired daily for viewing. The LETN program has been effectively funded through liability insurance premium reductions. The second addition to the Department is civilian dispatchers. Dispatching has rapidly evolved into substantially more than just answering a telephone and radioing a cruiser to a location. Often, the successful completion of a call for service, the safety of the public and the responding officer, will be determined in how the dispatcher initially handles and follows up a call for service, civilian dispatchers will also allow police officers, who previously had to be used in the capacity, to be placed on patrol within the community. Not only are officers gained for patrol, but the most efficient use of salary expenditure is also realized. Lastly, the Department has to move toward Accreditation. Accreditation is a national set of standards that each Department must meet to obtain certification. Once certified, the Department now has in place, a working set of professional standards, procedures and policies that all Department members will adhere to. The community will also know that their Police Department is managing each situation that confronts it in a professional, systematic manner. The Police Department's philosophy is to be community-orientated. Recently, limited foot patrol has been instituted in various areas within the Town. Reaction has been extremely positive. Expanding upon this idea, a "Pedestrian Safety Program" was instituted through the holiday months, in the downtown area. Extensive patrols attempted to educate drivers to become more aware of pedestrian activity and the dangers of excessive speeds. As we move into the 90's, it will continue to be the Police Department's policy to accept suggestions and concerns from the community and devote police resources to correct undesirable conditions.

In addition to participating in this committee, they are responsible for scheduling meetings of the Town's Fair Housing Committee and working with the Fair Housing Consultant, Luther M¢Ilwain. COMMISSION ON DISABILITY ISSUES (NACDI) The North Andover Commission on Disability Issues (NACDI), established under the title of the Municipal Handicapped Commission, was adopted unanimously under Article 41 at the 1988 North Andover Town Meeting. The NACDI was established under the mandate of Section 8J of Chapter 40 of the Massachusetts General Laws. The Commission's first meeting took place on December 28, 1988, and has held eight subsequent meetings. The By-Laws were established, accepted and approved by the Town Manager in March, 1989. Also at that meeting, a change in the status from two alternate members and five voting members to a Commission of seven voting members was established. In February, a representative from the State office of Handicapped Affairs provided training on state and federal legislation. After attempting to survey municipal buildings in North Andover, the Commission voted that in erder to provide more valid recommendations to the Town, further training would be necessary. To this end, the Commission voted to host a one-day Community Access Monitor Project (CAMP) on September 7, 1989. The Commission is planning to invite disabled consumers and disability advocates. This training will certify all NACDI members as Community Access Monitors, who will be trained to survey and make recommendations on municipal buildings in order to insure full access for North Andover residents with disabilities. The Commissioners will continue to network with disability rights advocates on a federal and state level so that all North Andover residents with disabilities may achieve full community participation. All NACDI meetings are open to the public and meeting dates and times are posted through the Town Offices.

During this twelve-month period, the GLSD treated 11.99 billion gallons of water. This represents an average daily flow of 32.87 million gallons per day. The flow is up 1% from the same period last year. In FY '89, Lawrence's flow amounted to 54.2% of the total, Methuen's was 22.76%, Andover's was 11.1%, North Andover's was 6.38% and Salem's was 5.6%. Percentages like these are used to establish the annual assessment of each community for the operation and maintenance costs. 41 Omeration and Maintenance In FY '89, 12,110 dry tons of sludge was removed from the wastewater, de-watered and processed through a chemical stabilization process owned and operated by Chemfix Technologies, Inc. The re-use material, known as Naturite, is trucked to landfills where it is used as a daily cover or contouring material. The District had been utilizing a landfill in Fall River and has just recently begun utilizing the City of Gloucester's landfill. The handling of trucked-in waste continued to go through a metamorphosis in FY '89. Due to a series of requirements which the EPA placed on the acceptance of industrial waste received by truck, it was determined the requirements were prohibitive. Consequently, we no longer accept wastewater from industrial facilities outside the District by truck. The GI~D also improved its ability to monitor and control trucked-in waste with the creation of a full-time septage monitor. This individual, a member of the District's pretreatment department, ensures that all wastewaters delivered by truck conform with the District's requirements. If a truck load of material is unacceptable, for whatever reason, it is turned away. The Board of Commissioners recently voted to limit the daily volume of trucked-in wastewater to B0,000 gallons and to only accept wastes generated within the Merrimack River watershed located in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Odors and their impact on the surrounding communities continued to be a focal point for District management. The reduction of trucked-in waste, coupled with the completion of our fourth aeration basin and secondary clarifier, in addition to significant changes in our Industrial Pretreatment Program, have greatly reduced abnormal odors at the plant. The Industrial Pretreatment Department underwent a series of changes both in staff and procedures. This was the result of much discussion with the EPA. They have worked closely with the District to assist us with the development of a program which will be second to none when all of the modifications are completed some time in FY '90. The District now has a staff of inspectors which monitor the activity at each of the significant industrial users to ensure compliance with all federal, state and local limits. In addition, the District has fortified its enforcement policies. As a result, the quality of the wastewater being discharged by the industries is more acceptable to the biological process utilized at the District to treat the wastewater. Special Proiects Fourth Aeration Basin and Secondary Clarifier The fourth clarifier was placed on-line in February of 1989; the fourth aeration basin was activated in May 1989. The District's rated capacity is now 52 million gallons per day. This additional capacity will allow us to handle a greater volume of water, thus reducing storm water overflow events. ~2 Incinerator UD~rade The District,s consultant handling the upgrade of the incinerators, Stone & Webster, devoted all of FY '89 to the compilation of a Best Available Control Technology (BACT) analysis. This report will analyze the air emission control options available to the District which will meet the very stringent state air quality standards. The report was submitted to the state's Air Quality Division in August of 1989. Residuals Management Study Camp, Dresser & McKee has completed the Phase I portion of the study and submitted their findings to the District and the state for review in July of 1989. Phase II, which will result in a recommendation of a long-term sludge thickening, de-watering and disposal methodology, is scheduled to be completed in 1990. Respectfully Submitted, Paul S. Niman North Andover Representative HISTORICAL COMMISSION The North Andover Historical Commission has had a very successful year. Under the guidance of Mary Hart, our past president, and Maria Ward, our sitting president, the Commission has completed Phase I of the preservation of the Old Burying Ground on Academy Road. Burying Ground. our long-range gravestones. We sought and received a grant from the Stevens Foundation which enabled us to hire an expert gravestone preservationist to help us reach our goal of restoring and preserving the markers at the 01d We hope 1990 will be as successful so we can complete project and prevent further deterioration of the Respectfully submitted, Maria Ward, President Martha Larson Susan Bournival Kathleen Szyska, Secretary 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 Chairwoman, Anna P. O'Connor, the Authority's 40th Annual Report for fiscal year ending September 30, 1989. 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 subsidy programs through the use of federal and state funds. These programs are designed to provide a subsidy for housing to eligible low-income families and elderly individuals. The goal of the program is to coordinate both the private and public sector for the purpose of meeting the housing needs of our community. It offers families, in need of housing 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 preference. Also during the year, the Authority has opened and occupied two new developments. One, twenty units of conventional elderly housing with two five bedroom congregate units on Second Street, and two, a new duplex adjacent to an existing four family on Ashland Street. The Authority is especially pleased with the opening of the congregate units at O'Connor Heights. 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 very well and with the exception of one bedroom, is fully occupied. The Authority wishes to extend its thanks to all of the persons serving on the Multidisciplinary Assessment Team (MAT) for all their ha~d work in assessing and selecting the tenants for these units. All housing administered by the North Andover Housing Authority is subject to the following income and asset limits: No. in family State McCabe Court i $17 2 19 3 22 4 24 5 26 6 27 7 29 8 or more 30 Asset Limit State Limit Elderly Only: Age Limits Mcr ski Meado s Section 8 248 $23,650 $14,750 712 27,000 16,900 179 30,350 19,000 640 33,750 21,100 180 35,850 22,800 720 37,950 24,500 260 40,100 26,150 800 42,200 27,850 $15,000 None None i Person $39,168 2 Persons 46,944 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. I don't think I have to tell the people of North Andover what a fiscal challenge we are all facing in 1990. Although the Authority does not receive any funding from the Town, we are no exception. The Authority derives its funding directly from the state and federal governments, and our fiscal '90 bottom line budget cap is -0-. The challenge to the Authority will be to at least maintain the same level of services to our tenants while living with level funding and at the same time, addressing certain "mandated" line item increases from other state agencies. Ail modernization and development projects at all Housing Authorities have been slowed down to reflect a decrease in capital funding to the Executive Office of Communities and Development, and therefore, to the Authority. Priorities are now being determined as to which projects will proceed immediately and which will be placed on a back burner. The Authority has several projects that we are waiting to hear on. Once again, the Housing Authority wishes to express its sincere appreciation to all Town departments and the citizens of North Andover who have supported and assisted the Authority in the development of our much-needed housing programs, and in our continuous efforts to provide adequate housing for the residents of North Andover. Respectfully submitted, Hope R. Minicucci,PHM Executive Director Board of Commissioners: Anna P. O'Connor, Chairwoman Donald Foulds, Vice-Chairman Nicholas Debitetto, Treasurer Helen Faye, Assistant Treasurer Helen Soucy, Member RECREATION COUNCIL 1989 was the forty-third year of the playground program in the Town of North Andover. Our eight-week summer program operated at four playgrounds: Carl Thomas on Mass. Avenue, Middle School, Drummond playground at the Old Center, and the Chadwick Street playground. The program was held five days a week from 9:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. Attendance was very high this year; the weather helped a great deal. All in all, it was a great summer. Programs during the year: Ice Skating: The program starts in November and runs every Sunday until February. Two hours of skating are available at the Brooks School rink from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. The fee is two dollars for the two hours. The program is always well attended. Band Concerts: This past year, due to lack of funds, we had to cut back on the number of band concerts. We went from twelve concerts to eight, scheduling them on Sunday evenings and holding them at the Center Common. The attendance at the concerts averaged 375 people. We thank the local merchants, the North Andover Arts Council, and the Musician's Union who helped with the cost of the concerts. ~aturda¥ Morninq Basketball: This program is for girls and boys in grades two, three and four. It is held at the North Andover Community Center on Saturday mornings. Those attending are taught the fundamentals of basketball, play games and, in general, have a lot of fun. The program begins in December and runs through March. Eight- 46 foot baskets are used so that the small fry have an easier time shooting. The program is run in cooperation with the North Andover Community Center. Last year 104 girls and boys took part in the instructional league. Field Trips: We try to plan one field trip a week during the eight-week s~mmer program. The field trips include: miniature golf at Golfland in North Andover, bowling at Academy Lanes in Bradford, roller skating at Roll on America in Lawrence, Beach Day at Long Sands in York Beach, Maine, Water Country in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, the Aq~arlum in Boston, and Ice Cream Day at the Drummond Playground. All the field trips were well attended, and we want to thank the ABC Bus Company for their kindness. Special Events: Most of our special events are held on the Center Common. Last years' events included: Things and Things - a variety of stories, music and fun put on by the Red Wagon from the University of New Hampshire. Kiddies's Day held on August 2 - this was our biggest special event. We had scheduled Potpourri on the Common but changed it to the Drummond playground which included: music and involvement from UNH, Sparky the Clown, Kiddies Rides, Train Rides and a small carrousel, popcorn and lemonade. It accounted for our greatest turn out of the year. Joe Carota, a Magician who puts on a family show, is one of the funniest, most skillful and entertaining magicians in New England. Little Red Wagon featured puppetry combined with story theater, music and involvement for children. This was also from the University of New Hampshire. A. Swartz, a juggler, was our last special event and provided a very entertaining show. Special Needs: Special Needs North Andover Playgrounds (SNNAP) was held for eight weeks. Fourteen children attended the program. They participated in all the field trips and special events. Twice a week they attend swimming lessons at Stevens Pond. We operated many leagues. There was a men's softball league made up of sixteen teams, and a women's softball league made up of five teams. There was a Pony League for thirteen-year-old boys and a league for boys fourteen to sixteen. Both are run by Paul Theberge. The Girl's Softball League is our fastest growing programs. Girls, ages eight to thirteen, participate in the league run by James McAloon. The North Andover Cardinals, a team for older boys, is also run by Paul Theberge and has been very successful. They have won the league championship for the past three years. We would like to thank the North Andover Fire Department, Paul Niman and Bud Cyr and the men of their department, the North Andover Citizen, the Lawrence Eagle-Tribune and radio station WCC~4.

To the Trustees of the Stevens Memorial Library: I hereby submit the 81st report of the Director. Library Statistics/Circulation FY 1985 FY 1986 FY 1987 FY 1988 FY 1989 Adult 75,761 79,472 78,844 75,669 76,876 Juvenile 34,342 39,335 47,737 49,530 48,421 ILLS Recd * 530 430 711 1,124 1,213 Museum Passes 260 208 368 336 387 Total ** 110,893 119,445 127,660 126,659 126,897 *ILLS = Inter-Library-Loan. Materials we borrow for you from other libraries. We also loaned to other libraries 1,372 items. **The circulation total does not include exhibits, story hours, programs, reference services, and other in-house use. The library circulates over six items per person, which is above the state average. Since the average book now costs over $20.00, each resident has borrowed the equivalent of $120.00 worth of materials. The automated circulation system's public terminal has become increasingly important. One look at the inter-library-loan statistics clearly shows the benefits of being able to locate materials through the computer and have them delivered in a timely manner. Last year saw the introduction of compact discs to our collection and the almost total cessation in the purchase of 33 1/3 long playing records. The public use of our apple computer has also seen growth this year. This summer saw the introduction of a second public Apple computer for the Children's Room. During the summer, the staff made the final shifts in our collection; we have absolutely, positively, run out of space. The success of the afternoon story hours, as well as the multitude of other programs run by the staff, have made FY 1989 a banner year for the Children's Room. I would like to thank the North Andover Arts Council for their support this last year, as well as the numerou~ exhibitors and volunteers. During the year, the Board continued to guide the investment and expenditure of endowed funds and to oversee the upkeep of the library. This last spring, the Board of Library Commissioners finally approved Library Construction Grants. Unfortunately, our library just missed being funded. A second round of funding may be made available this coming spring, and we will again try to get state support for the library addition. The Board of Trustees wish to acknowledge the generous support provided to the library from the Ash Fund and Rogers Family Foundation. Their donations and others have helped the Trustees get all of the preliminary design work done with almost no cost to the Town. The Board would like to note the resignation of Harry Turner who has moved to New Hampshire. His sixteen years of service on the Board is greatly appreciated, and his presence in Town and on the Board will be missed. The Trustees would also like to note the resignation of Bernard Zelitch from the Board and election of Martha salisbury and william Hickey as new Trustees. The Trustees would like to extend our thanks to the library staff for a job well done. Respectfully submitted, Joanne P. Stevens, Chairman Mary Ellen Osgood, Treas./Sec. Arthur Larson, Asst. Treas.

North Andover Youth Services was established by a public/private fundraising effort in 1987 led by retired Juvenile Officer David Rand, North Andover Police Department and Carrie Crouch, President, North Andover Business and Professional Board of Trade. NAYS opened its' doors on January 3, 1988, under the directorship of Rick Gorman. The office was housed in the Red Barn at 33 Johnson Street. The office space was shared with the Department of Recreation, a part-time seasonal department. Programs were formulated and implemented for all youth in the Town, with concentration on social, recreational, educational, etc. Discussion groups were formed to discuss peer pressure, drugs, alcohol, dating, school, police, and parents. Within nine months, NAYS had moved to a larger facility over the North Andover Thrift Shop at no rent thanks to the Community Center Board of Trustees. During this time frame, the North Andover Board of Trade, under the direction of Carrie Crouch, was the acting supervisor and employer. In May of 1988, at the FY 89 Town Meeting, we were able to secure public funding for a period of six months: January 1, 1989, through June 30, 1989. In those six months, the number of youth and families 49 serviced by the department grew to over 1500. The number of programs offered also increased to 23. In May of 1989, the FY 90 Town Meeting voted to fund our budget for a full year. Due to Proposition 2 1/2 and cuts in aid from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, our department sustained a loss for funding for an assistant director; this would have been only the second paid person on staff. This office is run with only a paid director and the rest is all volunteer staffing. A fundraising effort of public/private is under way to funding this second position. In closing, NAYS would like to take this opportunity to thank every one for their continued support and our dedicated volunteers for all of their time. The following is a list of programs that North Andover Youth Services offers: Services 0ffered - Social/Recreational 1. Teenco A youth program that runs social, recreational and educational activities for youths in grades 6, 7, 8.

Second Chance Community Service Project A program for first time offenders from North Andover. Lawrence District Court diverts certain first time offenders for community service hours. Youths are sent to this program for four to six months and complete at least two hours of community service per week. If the youth complies with the program, it is as if the youth was never charged. If the youth does not comply, he/she is brought before a Judge and charged with initial charge. Besides completing community service hours, we work with the individuals to bring out the areas that they may excel in. As of April 1, 1989, the program was expanded to service 17, 18 and 19 year old's. 2. Saturday Scared Straight Program Each month a group of six youths are escorted to the Lawrence Jail for an in-depth look at prison life.

We are pleased to state that completed designs for the new Thomson School and a school at the Calzetta Farm site have been presented to all appropriate town regulatory agencies. To date, the needed permits and approvals have been granted by the Planning Board, Conservation Commission and the Zoning Board of Appeals. Most important, the designs reflect the goals of the School Committee to provide equity of opportunity to all school children, while providing the space required for the burgeoning elementary school population our town continues to experience. A previous Town Meeting had authorized the SBt to design an addition to the Atkinson School and to design the renovation and addition of the existing Kittredge School so it may serve as an Early Childhood Center. The SBt, in a deliberate judgment, chose, with the assent of the School Committee, to pause in the expenditure of funds to design these projects until the Joint Committees of the Selectmen, School Committee and Advisory Board complete a comprehensive Master Plan for presentation at this spring's Town Meeting. The design process for the Thomson and Calzetta Farm site school was exhaustive in its detail and comprehensive in its outreach to citizens, educators, regulatory authorities and State agencies. The long route planned by the SBG provided a better community and school facility for the benefit and enjoyment of the entire town. It is important to note that the design review process in our own town was complete, detailed, technically oriented and professionally proficient and should comfort citizens in the ability of our ow~% town representatives' capacity to protect our own best interests. The School Building Committee and the School Committee will be presenting the completed designs to this year's Town Meeting to seek appropriations to construct these vitally needed school and community facilities~ We pray your close attention to tho requirements of the school children, the efficacy of the design proposals and the opportunity to leverage our own funds with significant state aid. More personally, the town should note the service of William Brush who chaired the SBt from its inception until his resignation in May of 1989 and the contribution of John Munro who worked as a member of the SBt from its creation until his resignation in December of 1989. The time, thoughtfulness and work effort of both these men, who served with high skill, is appreciated by their colleagues. Graham Gopeland has been appointed to a scat on the SBG, and we welcome his contribution. I thank the long-serving members of the SBG for their continued efforts; they have labored on an accelerated schedule to produce the fine designs presented. Thank you, Marilyn Doyle, Kevin Sheehan, Anne Low, and Diane Huster Betel. The work of the SBG could not continue without the able assistance of our secretary, 3ean White, the bookkeeping aid of Edie Doherty, and the general helpfulness of Mary Klueber. Last, I am aware that some of the debate concerning the school system's master Building plan has been, at times, contentious. No matter your opinions, I hope that we can come to them in an informed manner and not doubt the sincerity of our views or the pride and care we hold for North Andover. Respectfully submitted, Mark S. DiSalvo, Acting Chairman 54 ANNU~ REPORT OF THE SUPERINTE~DEI~Y~ OF SCHOOLS There have been a number of important events in the school system during this past year~ Two important administrative changes were made. First, Mr. Charles Wiseman retired from his position as Principal of the Franklin Elementary School following twenty-two years as Principal. He was replaced by Mr~ Thomas Kane, who began his assignment at the school with the opening of the school year. Me. Kathleen Callagy was appointed as the Director of the Early Childhood Center, following a year as Acting Director~ Developments~ both on a systemwide basis and on a building and program basis, are reported in the next several pages. Enrollment Our system continues to experience steady growth in the number of children attending our schools. The number of students in the grade levels of those attending continues to experience some change with a temporarily stable enrollment at our Middle School, slowly declining enrollment at our High School, and a steadily increasing enrollment at our Early Childhood Center and elementary levels. Increased enrollment at the elementary level caused us to add three portable classrooms to the school system during this past year, These classrooms are in addition to the five temporary classrooms which continue in use at the elementary level. Systemwide Developments Curriculum Development - Substantial activity continued in this area. Two of the first three Subject Area Revision Committees (social studies and science) reported to the School Committee on July 24. Their reports reviewed the comprehensive process used for reviewing their subject areas, and made substantial recommendations for changes in curriculum. The end resul[ was the adoption of improved and updated K-12 programs in both social studies and science. In the case of social studies, some of the highlights are; purchase of current U.S. and world maps for classrooms where social studies is taught; the adoption of new textbooks to replace textbooks that are over ten years old in grades K-5; a new U.S. History program for the High School, combining the variety of electives that had existed into a single full-year course required of all students. In science, highlights are; adoption of a new 6th grade program; an increased emphasis on laboratory experiences for students at elmmentary and middle school; two new high school courses in the areas of physiology and astronomy. These two curriculum committee~ were the first to report under our new curriculum revision plan which requires that every subject area be reviewed every four years. Each committee includsd over fifteen teachers, parents, students and administrators. Their two- year review involved assessing the present curriculum~ piloting new materials, and recommending adoptions to the Superintendent. The third oommittee (foreign language) will be reporting in the fall of 1989. The second set of subject area revision committees in language arts, reading, and guidance, began their two years of work in January. The entire process is being supervised by a representative group of teachers, administrators, s~udents and a parent. 55 This Curriculum Steering Committee has also worked over the past year to refine e testing/assessment program for the entire instructional program. This plan seeks to answer two fundamental questions: what and how well are students learning? Are the changes being made in curriculum effective? In order to answer these questions, the Curriculum Steering Committee proposed a significant upgrade in the currant testing assessment program. At the heart of this plan are two central elements: some reduction of non-curriculum based standardized testing and an increase of assessments that are directly related to the North Andover curriculum. This will allow the school system to maintain its ability to compare itself with other school systems while providing more valid data on how our particular curricula are working. It will continue to assess students' basic skills while adding ways to assess higher level thinking skills. These efforts in the area of curriculum review and improvement have engaged over 100 staff members in substantive discussion and action to improve the instructional program for students and make our curriculum more coherent in Grades K through 12. It should not go unnoted that there has been a high degree of volunteerism, commitment, and significant effort on the part of the North Andover teachers and administrators, as well as the commitment of a significant number of parents and students to support this effort. Staff DeveloPment Activities - A comprehensive program of professional activities was developed by the Curriculum Steering Committee and included not only programs for the six half and one full curriculum days, hut 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: AIDS, as it affects public schools; child abuse laws and procedures for teachers; alcohol and drug abuse/prevention; fostering self-esteem in children; use of computers to teach writing, and the use of computers to teach geometry. There were also a number of programs that involved teachers in workshops throughout the year. These included the following series: creative thinking in the classroom; use of the whole language approach to teaching reading; improving math instruction through problem- solving activities; and developing a wider range of instructional techniques. In our continuing attempt to combine resources within the Merrimack Valley, North Andover participated actively in the Greater Lawrence Collaborative's efforts to enhance staff development in the region. During this year, those efforts involved two series of afger-school workshops sponsored by the Collaborative where teachers from local sohools lead workshops for their colleagues on a wide range of subject matters. These included workshops as diverse as assertive discipline, to peer coaching; to the use of math manipulatives. North Andover teachers made several of the presentations. Beyond this, the Collaborative sponsored a Horace Mann Exposition at the Methuen Field House in December. At this exposition, over 70 Horace Mann projects were displayed in a convention-like setting where teachers from all systems were able to see some of this innovative work. Teachers also had the opportunity to hear the National Teacher of the Year, Leroy Hay. Many of these staff development efforts were funded through Commonwealth In-service Grants or other grants received by the school department. Also, the combining of resources throughout the Valley not only enriched our offerings but allowed reduction in cost as well. Teacher Eva]nation - A committee of fifteen teachers and administrators worked over a two- year period to review and revise the entire teacher evaluation system. That group unanimously supported the adoption of a new system. In March the Teachers Association and the School Committee adopted a new three-year teacher's contract that included the new program. 56 This system is based on the concept that professional growth and accountability needs to be central. In the area of accountability, teachers will be evaluated with an entirely new administrative evaluation procedure, and that small percentage of teachers who are identified as needing improvement will be placed on a special improvement plan requiring them to work with their supervisor intensively over a one- or two-year period. In terms of self-directed professional growth, the system allows teachers latitude to define periodically a self- evaluation project. Teachers can work together as peer coaches or can develop specific growth plans to be implemented in their classroom. At the heart of the new system is the recognition that teachers have the greatest impact on student learning, and that the evaluation system, by promoting professional growth, will improve and enhance classroom instructien~ Community Relations - The North Andover Parent-Teacher-Administrator-Student Council (PTASC) continued its operation. Activities included the development of fund-raising guidelines for organizations working to support the schools' efforts. Channel 25 continued a wide range of broadcasts, including some 70 school events as well as Town activities. This included over 200 hours of broadcast time during the school year. The bulletin board of Channel 25 was more active this year than in the past, with many community organizations requesting the broadcast of announcements. Programs shown during the year were as follows: 23 sports events, 14 musical performances, 12 in-classroom activities, 4 school plays, 5 combined town and school events, 2 documentaries, 5 instructional videos, 3 High School special events, 1 Middle School special event, and 7 other miscellaneous events. The school system continued to run its Schooline articles in the Citizen. These articles provided the opportunity for members of the staff to submit monthly cues% columns that would focus on ideas and issues to stimulate interest in the community about their schools in particular, and education in general. Pro£rams and Activities Early Childhood Center - The 1988-89 school year was one of many staff changes and much self- evaluation at the Bradstreet Early Childhood Center. It was a year when some programs were expanded, and others were evaluated and improved. It was also a year of continued efforts towards parents and teachers working together on important issues. Curriculum - Teachers of pre-kindergarten, kindergarten and pre-first continued to meet regularly to work on curriculum improvement. Efforts this year were largely focused on science and social studies. Teachers at each grade level worked with the Subject Area Review Committees in Science and Social Studies to help develop a Scope and Sequence for grades pre- kindergarten through 12, and to review and pilot a variety of materials in both areas. Each grade level also developed Primary Units in Science and Social Studies which will be taught to all pupils and Supplementary Units which will be used to enrich and expand thc curriculum. Teachers also explored the use of computers in the classroom. As part of the Action Plan, several teachers worked with Technology Director Bob Parker to pilot the use of computers and computer software at each level. The computers were well received, and it was recommended that several be purchased for use at Bradstreet next year. A variety of software was also previewed, and some will be purchased for use next year. Guidance ~ Guidance services were increased from one day per week to three days per week this year. This made it possible for Mrs. Limda Perrott, newly hired counselor, to expand guidance assistance in testing, counseling pupils and parenta, and consulting with teachers. in addition, Mrs. Perrott established several play groups for children who were dealing with separation and divorce and children who needed to develop play skilla. Parent Support groups were formed for single parents and for parents cf children with Special Needs. Action Plan - The Action Plan developed by teachers and parents for this year had goals which emphasize the vital role that parents have at our school. Several significant developments resulted from these goals. 1. An Emergency Dismissal Phone Tree was established for each classroom with parent assistance. 2. Outreach, support and education for parents was provided in a variety of ways. The Parent Teacher Advisory Council restored its monthly newsletter. PTAC also sponsored a parent workshop at the Middle School. Entitled "Appropriate Ways to Manage Inappropriate Behaviors," by psychologist Winifred Bowersox, this workshop was attended by over two hundred parents in January. 3. Parents and Outreach Teachers from the Anne Sullivan Genter worked together to implement a Handicap Awareness Curriculum in several classrooms. This was funded by the School Improvement Council. Senior volunteer Mary Licciardello hand-made nine "New Friends" dolls to be used with this program. Each class participating was introduced to several dolls, one at a time, who were "handicapped." Each doll became a member of the class and helped the children learn about disabilities and children with disabilities. It was very successful and will be used regularly in the future. 4~ Teachers of kindergarten, pre-first and grade one worked together to review the c~iteria for recommendations to the pre-first progrsm. A check-list of criteria was developed to be used by the classroom teacher in recommending students for pre-first. Teachers agree that we need to continue to study the use of the Geaell School Readiness Test for determining recommendations for pre-first and examine other instruments that may be uaed for this purpose. LEAP - This year the Language Enrichment and Pro-Academics program began. A language- based, substantially aeparate program for five- to seven-year-old children with special needs, it serviced eight pupils. Mrs. Connie Leu Liguori and a teacher aide helped to mainstream many of the pupils in the kindergarten classes on a regular basis. Four of the pupils will be integrated into regular kindergarten, pre-first, or first grade classes next year. Kindergarten Screenins presentation on the curriculum. Executive Board for 1989-90. officers already elected. This year Kindergarten Orientation included a slide We also solicited incoming parents to organize the PTAC This will enable PTAC to begin the new school year with The Spocial Needs team made some revisions in the Kindergarten Screening process this year~ The Early Screening Inventory (ESI) was used as the Special Needs screening tool. Screening included vision and hearing, speech and language, and developmental screening with the Gesell School Readiness Screening Test. Two hundred fifty-seven children were screened. Fifty-six were recommended for pre-kindergarten. Conferences were held with seventy-eight parents regarding placement. Principal Search - The search process for Principal of the Bradstreet Early Childhood Center began in the winter of 1989.f Parents, teachers and administrators participated. 58 This was a valuable process for the school, parents and teachers. Through it, many issues were raised concerning the school, programs, and issues related to Early Childhood Education in North Andover. it has helped the staff to define questions and establish goals for the future to help us continue to strive to provide the best education possible for the children of North Andover. Atkinson Elementary_ School - The school year began with Mrs. Donna Fleming becoming the school secretary upon the retirement of Mrs. Dorothy Conner. A new class was formed at the fourth grade; the teacher assigned was Mrs. Judith Hillner. With this addition, Atkinson now has three classes in every grade with the exception of two classes in grade five. Anticipated is the addition of a third fifth grade class for the 1989-90 school year. From a curriculum standpoint, Atkinsen teachers were actively involved in the various Subject area Review Committees--science, social studies, language arts, reading--as well as Report Card Review Committee and the Guidance Committee. Curriculum conunittees reviewed current status, researched needs and determined goals, previewed and piloted materials and in the science and social studies areas, made formal recommendations for systemwide adoption. Implementation of these programs will take place in the next school year. In the classroom this basal curriculum was supplemented with increased emphasis on written language skills and an extension of reading skills. Dr. Brendan Walsh presented his Wonders of Reading Aloud Program, jointly sponsored by our parent group and School Improvement Council. In conjunction with our teachers and Parent Teacher Improvement Council, concerted efforts were made to improve written communication between teachers and parents, as well as to implement a School Climate Plan. This year beyond undertaking the publishing of a monthly newsletter, the Parent Teacher Improvement council funded several thousands of dollars of supplemental materials and hardware requested by classroom teachers. Parents, under the leadership of Mr. and Mrs. Collura, undertook a playground project that resulted in placement of equipment on our playground, valued in excess of ten thousand dollars. Thank you. The Atkinson School has had an extremely active and productive year due in part to parent involvement. Our parents and teachers working in concert have enriched and enhanced the solid basic elementary education that is provided; their efforts and especially their teamwork make the Atkinson School a strong part of the North Andover School System. Franklin Elementary School Changes in Organization - Increased enrollment in grade 5 made it necessary to add another new class, while a decrease in grade 3 enrollment resulted in one less class. Building Improvements - While learning is not contingent on the physical aspects of the school plant, it is certainly enhanced by a clean, well-maintained building with sufficient room to allow for quite space, as well as group activities. Thus, several welcome additions were incorporated into the Franklin School this year. first, another portable classroom joined the two already in use, allowing breathing room for the specialist. New carpeting was purchased for the portables, an item sorely needed for some time. Ramps were also constructed to provide for the physically handicapped students. The whole building had a much needed face-lift when the exterior received a fresh coat of paint. All of these additions and repairs are gratifying indeed, but it is unfortunate that many youngsters are still unable to attend the district school because of overcrowding. This condition continues to plague the North Andover schools and must be resolved if the town's educational system is to maintain its high standards. 59 Special Programs--Improvements & Modifications - The staff at the Franklin School continued to search for more effective teaching materials and teohniques during the 1988-89 school year. In addition to piloting new and comprehensive programs in social studies and science, the teachers investigated current literature on grouping and the use of whole language as a viable method for introducing reading skills. Mrs. Iannuccillo and Miss Brennan were instrumental in providing information on the literature-based approach and organized workshops with guest speakers versed in the technique. Mrs. Provost and Mrs. Roberts, anxious to expand the literary horizons of their youngsters, were awarded a Horace Mann grant to explore the field of children's books and select appropriate material to stimulate and encourage young readers. A successful teaching practice initiated at the Franklin School a couple of years ago was expanded during the current year. The remedial reading teacher, Mrs. Donahue, has been instructing her youngsters in the regular classroom setting and the results have been most gratifying. This year, Mrs. Scanlon, working with Mrs, Schena on a computer-based program, adopted the plan designed to enhance the pupil's language and writing skills. The use of these specialists in conjunction with the established curriculum has been applauded by both teachers and specialists. Manipulative materials have again assumed a prominent place in the teaching of math, %~ile computation is still a vital factor in attaining competency in the field of mathematics, it is equally important that pupils understand process and relationships, k Many teachers have incorporated hands-on materials into their presentations, seeking a more meaningful approach to the concept of numbers, Perhaps, one of the most significant adjuncts to the curriculum this year was tbs disability awareness program--a series of units developed by teachers and volunteers. T~e lessons were presented frankly, yet with compassion, and the students responded with comments and questions. ~hen faced with the realities of a handicap, many youngsters revealed a compassion and concern which could serve as a model for many adults. This program should be offered each year throughout the schools, for it fostered an awareness too often lacking in many communities. Mrs~ Iannuccillo and Miss Brennan's "Write On" project continued to flourish throughout the year, culminating in two "author's luncheons" where youngsters discussed favorite books with their peers. The ~Writer's Handbook," a guide which evolved from the project, should prove most valuable for all teachers. On a school-wide basis, two primary goals have been addressed this year. Heterogeneous grouping was examined, debated, and ultimately adopted throughout the grades. Teachers developed materials and methods for challenging the gifted student and searched for varied approaches towards strengthening basic skills. The second goal centered on improving communication between home and school. Newsletters, community volunteers, and special programs helped to promote this objective, and many parents were included on committees and in discussion groups when policy was being considered. Significant Events - Franklin School was alive with a myriad of diverse offerings designed to enrich the lives of the youngsters. These events ranged from marionettes and ballet to a sky lab which presented the concept of the universe. The Theater of the Deaf delighted the children, and several classes visited the Collins Center in Andover to extend their appreciation of plays and players. On a more personal note, guest readers in the library served to emphasize the joy of reading and the annual hobby show served to spotlight 6O the interests and expertise of many young collectors. Adventures in Music, an art contest sponsored by the music teachers, elicited a great number of creative entries from talented pupils. Again, with the communication goal in m~nd, family participation in school events was encouraged through a Fun Run, a jovial Fashion Show, and a special event primarily for fathers: captioned "Doughnuts for Dad." Miss McGovern continued to reach out to senior citizens, ss she brought groups of students to visit the elderly in nursing homes. This program has been in operation for a number of years and is a touching example of how the school and community can interact in a positive manner. Student Achievement - The youngsters at the Franklin School continue to excel in their achievement scores. The State Assessment test given to fourth graders and the competency exam taken by pupils in grade three mirror the excellent results apparent in the Stanford Battery. While all of these tests primarily increase only one aspect of learning, they do indicate that the Franklin School pupils are acquiring the basic skills and have armed themselves with the tools for advanced thinking. These tools must now be refined through constant use and careful honing~ The program in reading has been adapted to stretch the imagination through literature and the math program revised to strengthen basic number concepts. Teachers have served on committees designed to reshape the curriculum and redefine existing goals. Achievement can be measured not only by tests but by a quest for knowledge-- a true love of learning. This goal has been a primary objective during the 1989-90 school year. Kittred~e E].mentary School Two classes of each grade level, plus the Developmentally Delayed class, took up all of ~be available space. The average class was 25 students, however, there was a great deal of mobility throughout the year. Mrs. Fitzpatrick supervised thc Student Council, who were elected by the fifth grade students. The Council assisted in many activities that benefitted the whole school. They raised money to go on Field Trips that were chaperoned by Mrs. Fitzpatrick and parents. All the field trips were scheduled for a Saturday or a Sunday. The practical experience of the students included in the projects will help their decision-making skills in the future, the School Store operated by the Council, along with the School Play, helped raise student self- esteem and also school spirit. The P.T.O. and the S.I.C. groups were active and supported many events. It was voted unanimously by the School Improvement Council to fund the Enrichment Council for their total programs that ran each month for the whole school year. The programs were excellent, and the students were involved in a total learning experience. Funding field trips by each grade was undertaken by the P.T.O. They ran some very successful fund raisers, and the Kittredge School student body were the recipients of their efforts. Great parent support and involvement made the school year a very successful and enjoyable one. Parent volunteers were utilized in the classrooms on various occasions. They assisted with the S.R.A. Enrichment Reading in grades lA and lB. A four-month schedule was set up by Mrs. Harvey and Mrs. Rottler. Project Charli. was very successful with a full complement of volunteers who committ~d themselves for the whole year's program. Whenever volunteers were needed, we were successful in obtaining their services. Teachers worked on many curriculum committees and have been very supportive when they were asked to assist. They gave their time freely and the end results were that the 61 students' learning experiences increased immensely. The staff at the Kittredge School has excellent rapport with parents and students and is receptive to any suggestions. Open House, Book Fair, Santa's Workshop, Book Binding and the Learning Fair promoted community involvement. These were just a few of the many activities when the students and parents visited the school together. Student study teams were utilized in order to assist students who were in need of special help. Chapter One referrals, remedial reading referrals and tutorial programs were available for these students, and they were very successful. The special needs students were incorporated or mainstreamed into the regular classroom situations when it became evident that they could be successful in specific areas. Action Plans were prepared and achieved through cooperation by the entire staff. Much time and effort was invested in the Plan to provide a better experience for students. The basketball court was refurbished by the public works department. Some painting and repairs have been completed, but much more is needed in order to keep a safe, clean environment. Thomson Elementary School - Many improvements and modifications of programs continued to take place over this past year. The achievement of the Thomson School children continues to be very high. The scores on the Stanford Achievement tests reflect continued growth in all academic areas, and the stanine scores show a high level of achievement. This measure of success is vitally important to any school as we prepare young people for the futurs. Test scores are only one measure of success, but they should be carefully examined by the teachers and administration. From this careful examination, curriculum revision can begin to take shape. Standardized tests, along with other evaluative techniques, will lead to stronger programs. Thomson School has become involved in some new improvements to the curriculum. The introduction of math manipulatives at all grade levels has made for better understanding of many math concepts. Wa had used some manipulatives in the past, but have made more extensive use of them this year. Many of our teachers have been piloting new social studies curriculum materials and, therefore, the students have benefitted from a variety of new and exciting materials. An entirely new social studies program will be implemented in September, 1989. Grade four and five children participated in an interdisciplinary nature study day at Harold Parker Forest, During the day many events took place, such as ponding, math problem solving, writing experiences, and research projects. Sea life has bean examined throughout the year, with a salt water aquarium in the science room. Tank specimens have been collected during the year and have daily examined life in the ocean. The younger and older children have learned from one another by reading to each other on a weekly schedule. It is a common occurrence for visitors to see a second grade and fifth grade student sitting in the hall reading to one another. This program has been very successful and is enjoyed by the students. The writing process continued in many language classes this year. The major goal of this is to develop writing skills throughout the grades. Some classes had pen pals with whom they communicated on a regular basis. Other classes kept portfolios of written work. The teachers and students used these as a way of evaluating their growth in writing. 62 Action Plan - The teachers, parent representative~ and Principal met on a number ef occasions to help develop a plan of action to help improve the school program. After a grest deal of discussion, the following ideas were adopted: 1~ To develop greater use of critical thinking skills in all curriculum areas. Upgrade the library media services. Develop a resource file of individual and connmunity groups who are :willing share their talents with the children. 4. Implement a sustained reading program by every member of the Thomson School community. 5. Make greater use of math manipulatives in all arithmetic classes. 6. All members of the staff were to make use of as much of the Canter Assertive Discipline Approach as desired, Enrichment Programs - A number of enrichment programs and field trips were scheduled st Thomson School. These were made possible because of the generous support of the School Improvement Council, and the North Andover Enrichment Council, who provided their time and money in support. Field Trips - 1. Parson Bernard House 2. Textile Museum 3. Museum of Science Plimouth Plantation Cultural Programs - 1. New English Song and Dance 2. National Marionette Theatre (Peter and the Wolf) 3. Storyteller - Judith Black 4. North Atlantic Ballet Authors Jeff Kelley and Marsha Sewall 6. Museum of Science Physical Science Show 7. Little Theater of the Deaf 8. Tribal Rhythms Teacher Activities - Most teachers and the Principal at the Thomson became involved in one or more of many committees designed to examine the present curriculum and make revisions when necessary. 1. Curriculum Steering Committee 2. Science 3. Social Studies 4. Report Card Revision 5. Testing Assessment. 63 Parental involvement and communication were expanded to include parents on a hiring screening committee that met to help in the selection of a school guidance counselor, Additionally, we had parents volunteer to work in classrooms. We also became involved with the intergenerational project. To increase the communication between home and school, we continued our practice of sending home a monthly calendar listing all the scheduled events. This was appreciated by the parents. Middle School Curriculum - Over this past year improvements and modifications continued to take place. As a result of the completion of a two-year National Excellence in Education Grant which focused on process writing utilizing technology, the writing curriculum at all grac~ levels was revised this year. This revision provided for the incorporation of th~ p,~cess writing approach in conjunction with word processing on the Apple computers in our 3ab. The seventh and eighth grade reading program continued to expand and grow this year as more titles were added to the collection~ Through this program, every seventh and eighth grade student read a minimum of four novels with classroom analyzation and discussion support. At the sixth grade level, novels were also introduced as a supplement to the basal reading program. At each grade level specific study skills were identified for focus. These skills were taught through the various subject areas by all teachers. Many staff members continue to serve on the systemwide curriculum revision committees in the areas of science, social studies, foreign language, English, reading, and guidance. It is anticipated that, as a result of their work, curriculum revisions or modifications will be seen starting next year. For the first time, Lead Teachers were identified for each of the curriculum areas. These positions provided much needed articulation in the subject areas. Enrichment Programs - Students at the middle school were provided many programs designed to complement and enrich the academic program, thanks to the staff, the School Improvement Council programs included the North Atlantic Ballet Company, the Cantabrigia Brass Quintet, a Museum of Science program, and extended visits and work by two authors, Judith Black and Jeff Kelly. In addition to these activities, extended learning programs were conducted at the Johnson Cottage, Museum of Science, Plum Island, and Freedom Trail. The sixth grade career education day and the annual eighth grade town meeting unit also provided opportunities for student learning to extend into the community. The Middle School was particularly blessed to be chosen as the site for the permanent display of the North Andover Town murals. Appropriate dedication ceremonies were held to make all students aware of the special significance of these works of art. Student Activities - Fourteen students from the Middle School participated in the thirR annual Greater Lawrence Middle Level Academic Bowl competition. Paired with the Bruce School in Lawrence, the team finished in second place. An expanded after-school activities program was initiated this pest year. Planning 64 the program began during the summer with the mailing of a survey to every middle school student's home. Three rounds of activities were conducted during the year. A total of 178 students (23% of the student body) participated in at least one activity. The program, funded by the School Improvement Council, included such activities as sewing, photography, beginning Japanese, coed volleyball, fishing, dance, newspaper writing, astronomy, computers, typing, nail care, needler crafts, and porcelain dolls. Each of the twenty-three offerings were run by volunteers from the community after school, in the evenings, and on weekends. Mr. Richard Lombard and each of the volunteers are to be thanked for their contribution to our program. A homework club was initiated by several staff members to provide a structural after- school environment in which students could do homework. In addition, staff assistance was available as necessary. Building Improvements - During the summer of 1988 the internal painting program was completed, and a floor tile replacement program was initiated. Ail of the back stage curtains in the auditorium were also replaced, completing the upgrading of the stage. Future plans call for the completion of the floor tile replacement and the replacement of seating in the auditorium. Other Simnificant Events - At the conclusion of the school year, the second annual Recognition Night was held, honoring those 220 students who had earned all "A" and "B" grades in all subjects all year. Further, 76 eighth grade students received Presidential Academic Fitness Awards Class Night and Graduation, two annual grade eight events, were again extremely successful as were the several drama productions, the "Wizard of Oz," and the yearbook. Throughout the year the middle school staff was involved in a professional development project focused on enhancing their skills as middle level evaluators. The School Improvement Council at the middle school was cited by the State Commissioner of Education as one of the sixty-five (65) best in the Commonwealth. As a result, the school became a "School Improvement Council Leadership Site." During National Middle Level Education Week, a special intergenerational program was conducted. A bus brought senior citizens to the school, where they were given a tour and a special luncheon. Retirements/Resignation - Mrs. Marie Sommovigo and Mr. Winthrop Fullford both retired from Ceaching after many years of service in the North Andover Public Schools. Both were well liked by students and staff and will be missed. A resignation was received also from Miss Christine Schoonmaker. She had a most positive effect on her special education s~udents, and she, too, will be missed. The staff and students at the Middle School made a commitment to excellence this past year, and through their continued efforts, met their goal. The students excelled academically and socially. Their concern for each other and for the school grew to great heights. The staff worked extremely hard to provide a challenging program for each student and to advance the school in many dimensions. 65 North Andover Hte. b. School The students and faculty deserve credit for many outstanding accomplishments, both continuing the school's tradition of excellence, and initiating new endeavors while adjusting to a new instruotional leader. The Class of 1989 provided consistent and responsible leadership throughout the year, setting good example and maintaining a seriousness of purpose which encouraged underclassmen to make the most of their studies, to cooperate in setting goals and achieving them, to participate with enthusiasm in co-curricular activities, and to exhibit a commitment to the kind of good school citizenship that builds better citizens for our community and society. This seriousness of purpose was reflected in our graduates' post-secondary plans. Eighty-five (85) percent of our seniors planned to attend college; sixty-five (65) percent going to four-year colleges and universities. Dozens of scholarships were earned by the best of these students and provided by a community wanting to support and further academic success. These awards provided meaningful recognition and necessary financial assistance to those who met, accepted, and mastered the challenges of a strong academic program under the tutelage of a committed professional staff. Among these scholarship winners, I would like to single out our National Merit Finalist,David Willis, and Michael DeMelis, Valedictorian of his class, who was the recipient of a corporate Merit scholarship. The North Andover Scholarship Foundation distributed its generous awards to the following graduates: Krysten Boyd, Michael DeMelis, Elizabeth Haley, Brian Lemberger, Jeffrey Markuns, Amy McLeod, and Andrea Pickles. In other academic competitions, several North Andover students distinguished themselves: Gins Rosetti, Law Day competition, second-place winner Elizabeth Haley and Edward Keisling, Jr., Xerox Humanities Awards Members of the Math Team who won their League Championship and sent several to State and Regional Competition Eileen Katis, State Choral Competition Winner Members of the Computer Team who won the Merrimack College Computer Contest Tom Woods, who was accepted into B.U.'s prestigious summer engineering seminar. In addition to academic awards, N.A.H.S. students demonstrated growing interest in social and political concerns. Seventy students attended the second N.A.H.S. Leadership Conference held in the fall, learning skills which they used to guide their peers in a variety of co-curricular programs, particularly student government. N.A.H.S. Student Advisory Council representatives hosted a conference for regional S.A.C. reps from area high schools. The Community Involvement program expanded the number of involved students who well represented our school by contributing hundreds of hours in volunteer service within our community. Special education students initiated a "Little Friends" program to provide friendship and guidance to elementary SPED students. Another group of volunteers began an after-school tutoring program for students at Atkinson Elementary. A small group of students established a school chapter of Amnesty International, eventually bringing their membership to over fifty students in an organized attempt to raise political and social awareness of perceived injustices throughout the world. Our SADD Chapter remained vigorous, culminating a year of successful projects with the videotaping of a simulated drunk-driving accident. This video was produced with broad cooperation from town agencies, such as Youth Services, and the 66 police department and was shown--with dramatic impact--to the entire student body. The Spirit Club conducted another successful food drive at Christmas time to assist needy families during the holiday season. Within our school community, the faculty expressed its concern for troubled students by initiating the Key Team program. Such students were referred by faculty to the Key Team, a select group of caring volunteers from the professional staff. They, in turn, made recommendations to the principal. If a student's behavior indicated the need for some kind of intervention to avoid furthering the risk of personal and academic distress, I then met with that student's parents to express our concern. Sixteen such meetings with parents resulted from this program, with a few resulting in families seeking appropriate professional services outside the school. The Guidance Department initiated a focus group for the several students who sought professional assistance in residential treatment programs, providing guidance and support for the after-care phase of re-entering school life. The Coordinator of the Drug Free Schools Program facilitated the selection and training of a Peer Leadership Program, which will result in high school students serving as good models and leaders of small group programs for the students at the middle and elementary schools. The Drug Free Schools Program also provided funding for a pilot program to put Hall Monitors in the school. With mixed results, this endeavor helped curb persistent problems, such as loitering in restrooms, and improved the orderliness of our school climate. The Guidance Department expanded its career awareness programs, participating with area schools and businesses in a collaborative Career Fair at Merrimack College for the entire junior class~ The department also conducted its second survey of graduates, developing useful and i~portant evaluative data about program effectiveness from the viewpoint of recent graduates. The second administration of this survey resulted in a 33% return from the Class of '88, a significant increase and an indication of a more effective methodology. This data will provide a new ;and on-going component to our overall effort to review and improve program effectiveness. A variety of new and expanded programs enriched the range of learning and developmental opportunities open to N.A.H.S. students. The Spirit Club gained recognition as an approved student organization and continued its successful programs of the past (Spirit Rally, Theme Dance and Lip-Sync Contest, canned~food drive), while developing a new link with Youth Services to sponsor an alcohol-free spring event--a cruise for freshmen and sophomores. The Foreign Language Department expanded student educational travel and cultural exchange opportunities by hosting Spanish students in the fall, French students in the spring, and sending a student delegation to Germany for nearly three weeks in april. Other student groups travelled to Spain and to England during school vacation periods under the supervision of teachers and staff. Teachers who volunteered for the Interchange Program fostered the performing arts at the high school, resulting in a much-expanded assembly program and two successful artist-in- residence programs, One of these brought a video specialist to the school to work with three classes for six weeks in the early winter and another brought a dance troupe to the school for a week. The performances resulting from these programs, as well as the other cultural assemblies (jazz, Shakespeare, storyteller, and choral performers), gave students direct and participatory experience of the performing arts, increasing aesthetic awareness and providing the opportunity to learn proper audience behavior. Much-needed logistical support and 67 financial assistance for these programs came from the Schools' Enrichment Council and the School Improvement Council. The Parent Advisory Committee met monthly, generated a mailing list, and drew a satisfying response from increasing numbers of parents who chose to attend monthly meetings. These generous and involved parents assisted with the Leadership Conference, the Theme Dance, Teacher appreciation Day, Open House, and provided input on policy and program review. ~any teachers earned deserved recognition for their efforts with and for students. Among them: Mary Ashburn--for serving as N.A.H.S. coordinator of the collaborative Career Fair Christine Batty--for her pivotal role in establishing the Key Team and organizing the Peer Leadership Program Leonard DeSimone--honored by the State Association for his leadership of the Nationml Honor Society--for leading our chapter to a recognition award for excellence Janet DiGianni--fer her spirited follow-through on the Interckange Program Larry Dorey--for his work with the after-care support group Margaret Hannum~-for her role in initiating the Amnesty International Chapter Doreen Herlihy--for initiating the Little Friends/Big Friends Program Tom McGowan and 3eff Fuller--for coaching our Math Team in its championship season Geri McGuire and Diane Boettcher, assisted by parent Linde Do~rmer--for developing resource bank for learning-disabled students seeking appropriate college progra~ ~ and placements Mike McVeigh and Bob Welch--for fostering the active and effective efforts of our larg~'~ chapter of SADD Rob Rolinson--for his role in facilitating a shop project to mass-produce gee-boards use by math students in the elementary schools Richard Rozzi--for coordinating the Leadership Conference, re-designing the Eighth Grad~: Shadow Program, and initiating spring elections for class leadership and government offices. James Smith--for preparing students for competition in National History Day Paul Spadafore--for his enthusiastic leadership of the Spirit Club John Strobel--for expanding the Community Involvement Program Tim Troy-*for implementing computer-assisted machining in his shop courses in Industri~] Arts. /~ne climate of cooperation and energetic participation which characterizes North Andove~- ~igh School provides opportunity for many students and teachers to be involved and to significant contributions. Some of the highlights are recounted above, but no list capture them all. Every member of the school community whose efforts this past ye. ~' contributed to the success of the school is to be commended. Special Educatiom Departmemt The 1988-89 school year was an eventful one for North Andover's special education students, staff and parents. Systemwide special education Department Heads/Chairpersons were reassigned in an attempt to provide more equitable caseload distribution and more effective communication and service delivery. The department was the recipient of a $15,000 grant to assist in improved identification of young (three and four year old) children with special needs and to help develop integrated programs for young children. In response to increased numbers of kindergarten aged children with special needs, the LEAP program was developed at the Early Childhood Center. A full-time school psychologist was hired which resulted in decreased need to contract services. With primary responsibilitie~ at the middle and high school levels, this individual completed psychological assessments, provided individual, group and crisis counseling, chaired selected 766 team meetings, and acted as a resource to North Andover staff at all levels. New teachers were hired at Bradstreet, Franklin, Kittredge, Middle, and High Schools. Due to difficulties in hiring speech therapists (a problem throughout Massachusetts), North Andover was fortunate to eventually contract with two local therapists who provided speech and language services on a part-time basis. The Parent Advisory Council for Special Education provided an extensive range of program offerings at monthly NAPAC meetings. The Department of Education conducted a compliance review of North Andover's compliance with Chapter 766 regulations in the spring of 1989 (final report not yet received). An automated system for producing IEP's and special education data was purchased with anticipated implementation in September, 1989. This program will allow the department to produce IEP's which are in compliance with 766 regulations. Fine Arts Department During the past year, the Fine Arts Department has sought to provide our students, schools and community with quality programs and a greater exposure of the fine arts to all. The Fine Arts Department took part in programs sponsored by the Greater Lawrence Regional Collaborative such as a regional exhibit of outstanding high school art students' work exhibited at the Heritage Park Visitors' Center in Lawrence, and one hundred thirty of our fourth and fifth grade choral students participated in a joint musical program with students from Lawrence, Andover and Haverhill held at the Collins Center in Andover. Students at all levels, as well as adults, took advantage of the collaboration between the Fine Arts Department and the Boston Conservatory of Music and took instrumental lessons which were given at N.A.H.S., N.A.M.S., Atkinson and Kittredge Schools. At this same time, 69 fourth and fifth grade enrollment in instrumental music lesson classes increased to an all time high of nearly two hundred while the All Elementary Chorus grew to 130 boys and girls from each elementary school participating in weekly after-school choral activities at the Franklin School. In spite of declining enrollment at the North Andover High School, enrollments in art classes continue to grow at a rapid rate and are limited by the availability of only one art teacher. Through our affiliation with the Cultural Collaborative in Boston and the efforts of staff participants in their programs, Artists in Residence were available this past year to Advanced Placement English students who developed journalistic video tapes and to physical education classes where creative dance was introduced as an activity. High school students, as well as members of the community, were provided with the opportunity to attend a Broadway Show and other cultural activities in New York. The entire student body of the High School was provided with many fine performances sponsored by the North Andover Schools Enrichment Council, outstanding among which was the Colgate University Chorus. In addition to programs presented and sponsored by the Enrichment Council at the High School, the Fine Arts Council at all levels provided all schools with a variety of performing arts. The Fine Arts staff attended many conferences and workshops throughout the year and in preparation for the curriculum revision process, which will commence in January of 1990, were given the opportunity to observe programs in communities such as Stoneham (Middle Needham (music program), and Hamilton-Wenham (music program). High School staff members attended the Cultural Collaborative week-long workshop held st the Berkshire School this past summer and attended a follow-up workshop held over several days this past winter. Below is a list of activities which took place this year. Parental involvement was ex~ensive in each of them. September Preparation of N,A.H.S. students for North East District auditions. N,A.H.S, Marching Band performed at home feotball games. October N.A.H.S. Northeast District auditions. Exhibit of classroom art work in Stevens Memorial Library. November N.A.H.S. Marching Band performed in Veterans Day and Santa Claus Parades. Thanksgiving musical programs, elementary schools. Winter concerts by school bands and choruses -- all levels. Elementary chorus concert at Trinitarian Congregational Church. High School chorus concerts at Holy Family Hospital and North Andover Historical Society Open House. Parent sponsored Holiday Sing-A-Long. Elementary Christmas Musical "The North Pole Goes Rock and Roll". 70 January Participation in Boston Globe Scholastic Art Exhibit by Middle and High Schools.

Public Schools Music Associates Elementary Talent Show. Spring concsrts and Elementary Learning Fairs. N,A.H.S. Marching Band performed in Memorial Day Parade. Bands performed at Middle School and High School graduations. "Friends" performed at Senior Citizen Center. Computer Technology Program Highlights Systemwide A technician was hired for the 1988-89 school year. Mr. James Parma's responsibilities included repair and preventative maintenanca of all computmr hardware and audio-visual apparatus. He also assisted in systemwide video taping of various school functions and activities, as well as broadcasting these events over Educational Channel 25. Laser technology expanded to include all four elementary schools, as well as to Middle School and High School. Laser platters were purchased in the disciplines of science, social studies, guidance and art. The rapidly growing technology is expected to enhance the curricula in these areas as more courseware is acquired at all levels. The Computer Advisory Council (CAC) continued to assist the Director in establishing long-range goals and direction for technology in the schools. An immediate target of rewriting the software catalog was accomplished and delivered to all schools, teachers and librarians. 71 Final plans for a systemwide Technology Day have been made and will occur on Curriculum Day, November 14, 1989. Twenty-eight computer stations have been added to the schools. These computers were used in classrooms by teachers and were made mobile to facilitate in transporting from one classroom to another. High School A computerized lathe was added to the Industrial Arts Department. The lathe was used by students to create various designs and tools. This advancement, as well as the existing Computer Assisted Design (C.A.D.) hardware, will expose students to the modern technologie~ used by industry. A new course in Applications of Computers has been created. Over 80 students hav,~ selected the course, which is designed to he a cross-discipline elective. The course will invsstigate computer applications in word processing, graphics, data base, spreadsheet and keyboarding. Other new courses in science, such as Astronomy and Applied Sciences, will make wide use of new computer software in rocketry and space probing courseware. A full-year computer programming course in PASCAL was implemented for the first time. Middle School A full-time computer aide was hired for the computer lab. The lab was open seven periods daily, five days a week and operated at a 97% occupancy rate. Teachers brought classes down to the networked lab to use word processing, mathematics, language arts, readi~! and problem-solving software on the hard disk. Workshops were conducted for visiting 5th grade students from all four elementar schools. These students were primed to begin the formal process approach to writing rising sixth graders. The workshops were arranged by Master Teacher, Paula Mead. Middle School teachers John Digney and Pat Martin conducted a seminar for local are~ teachers in the computer lab as part of an after-school effort sponsored by the Merrimac]~ Valley Collaborative Workshop Series. Elementary Schools All elementary school fourth and fifth grades participated in the S~'~. Mathematics/Computer Program. Each student spent 25-30 minutes per week on the software~ improving basic skills in operational mathematics. Arrangements were made to pilot a science program, called Kids Network, as part oi! curriculum review process nex~ year at the Franklin School. The program will allo~ telecommunication between North Andover and many other schools and communities across tb~ nation. Complete courseware in science laser technology was acquired~ Through the efforts Rite Schena (Horace Mann Grant), all science teachers received instruction and syllabi using the courseware in the classroom. 72 Eight parent volunteers worked with computer classes at the Franklin School assisting in SRA Math in the library area. Department of Health. Physical Education and Athletics Physical Education Physical education is required of all students in the North Andover schools, grades K- 12. Classes are taught by four full-time teachers servicing grades K-5, two full-tine Middle School teachers, and three full-tine teachers at the High School. A half-tine adaptive physical education teacher provides services for the school system's special needs students. Students in grades 4 through 12 were tested using the Presidential Physical Fitness Testing program. Students in grades K-3 were tested using an adapted version of these tests. North Andover students continued to score very well in these tests when compared with the students their age throughout the country. Field days were offered for all schools in the system. North Andover participated in all Greater Lawrence Educational Collaborative physical education activities: North Andover hosted the seventh grade basketball tournament for boys and girls. Twenty of our students participated with Mrs. Bavendam and Mr. Lombard serving as ceaches, Twenty sixth graders participated in a field day in Haverhill, Mrs. Bavendam and Mr. Gendron were coaches. Twenty-four high school students participated in a volleyball tournament in Andover, Mr. Cavanaugh and Miss Lawlor were coaches. Several eighth graders participated in a festival on ice in Methuen. Mrs. Bavendam served as coach. Twenty fifth graders participated in a field day in Lawrence. Mrs, Parent and Mr. Mulcahy were coaches. Several physical education teachers participated in professional growth workshops or conferences. Mr. Michael Cavanaugh completed his master's degree in education. The Middle School physical education teachers, Mrs, Bavendam and Mr. Lombard, coordinated a highly successful parent/student volleyball game for Spring Thing. Miss Lawlor, health education teacher, also had a very successful program for parents. Mr. Desmond was the guest speaker for the April Bradstreet School PTO meeting. Health Education Health education is currently taught to all students in the North Andover schools, grades K-8, and grade 10. A full-time health education teacher teaches Middle School students grades 6, 7 and 8. Health education is taught by health and physical education teachers in grades 4, 5 and 10. Classroom teachers teach health education in grades 73 Project Charlie, coordinated by Mrs. Jane Guild and taught by over forty volunteers, is taught in grades 1, 3, and 5. Several health education teachers participated in professional growth workshops or conferences. North Andover~ in conjunction with the Andover Public Schools, ran a three credit course on substance abuse open to all school employees. A grant was received from the Governor's Alliance Against Drugs to help with education, prevention and intervention of alcohol and drugs. The department successfully piloted the Children's Health Market's "Greater Body Shop" curriculum in grade 5. Guest speakers and other presentations were featured at all levels to enhance the curriculum. Included was the utilization of high school students who spoke to elementary and Middle School students about peer pressure and other problems associated with adolescence and growing up. Intramurals A variety of intramural activities were conducted for students throughout the year, primarily in grades 6-12. Activities included basketball, volleyball, floor hockey and fun In addition, boys and girls in grades 5 through 8 had the opportunity to participate in the Saturday Morning Basketball program, funded by the North Andover Community Center. The program was directed by High School basketball coaches, Michael McVeigh and John Stephenson. They were assisted by other high school basketball coaches, as well as varsity and junior varsity players. The North Andover Community Center has also funded a summer weight room program. This is under the direction of Mr. William Herrman~ Athletics North Andover High School is the 1988-1989 recipient of the J. Hyland Trophy, awarded annually to the top athletic program in the Cape Ann League, as evidenced by overall win/loss record. This is the second year in a row and the fifth time this decade that Nerth Andover has won this prestigious ~ward. Seven North Andover teams won league championships; golf, fall cheerleading, boys' basketball, wrestling, girls' skiing, baseball, and boys' outdoor track. Eleven North Andover teams qualified for the MIAA post season tournament. In addition, seven teams qualified individuals to participate in post season contests. North Andover hosted: Six MIAA state tournament contests. Cape Ann League fall and winter cheerleading competitions. North Andover Holiday Ice Hockey Tournament. Commonwealth Cup Wrestling Tournament. Regional site for the following Bay State Games: boys' soccer, field hockey, and boys' and girls' basketball. and girls' 74 Five North Andover High School coaches were recognized by their peers as "Coach of the Year": Golf Fall Cheerleading Wrestling Boys' Tennis Ted Pritchard Lori Chodkowski Howard Crozier and David Castricone Jack Stephenson Varsity baseball coach John Strobel was recognized by Scholastic Coach and the Franklin Life Insurance Company with the Franklin Select Circle Coaches Award, Gold Medal level. A chemical awareness program for athletes was conducted in the Spring. A Captain's Club was created to organize our student-athlete leaders to serve the school and community better. School Libraries Elementary A Statement of Philosophy - If one of our chief responsibilities as educators is to help students develop successful strategies for meeting the educational goals of the classroom, as well as their own individual educational agendas, then we must provide them with frequenq and timely access to a library collection that has sufficient depth and breadth to meet the full range of their reading and informational needs. Access to the library collection must be frequent to ensure that the information gathering/research process which is both complex and varied is constantly being reinforced and amplified. Access to the library collection must be timely to optimize the educable moment. A student who must wait several days to search out the answer to an intriguing question that arises during a classroom discussion is not likely to sustain the interest or enthusiasm to follow through with this process. Finally, an adequate library collection is essential to ensure that each student search meets with some degree of success. This is particularly critical at the elementary level where a student's first tentative attempts to access materials/information independently establish the foundation for his/her self-image as a competent student researcher. This has been a good year for the elementary school libraries. Having two librarians has greatly improved the amount and quality of services provided to the students and teachers in terms of materials, curriculum planning and coordination, teaching of literature enrichment, as well as library and research skills, and professional expertise and support. An increase in budget has enabled the librarians to more adequately fill in existing gaps in our collections and to begin to replace outdated materials. A portion of each library's book budget was used to purchase new science books. Block Grant funds have been used to supply primary grade teachers with appropriate audio-visual software for their science and language arts curriculum. Both librarians are participating in the systemwide curriculum review with Mrs. Holmes on the Reading SARC and Mrs. Loeser on the Language Arts SARC. In addition, they have maintained close contact with members of the Social Studies and Science SARCs, offering their input and expertise. At present, the collections at the elementary schools are all to varying degrees below minimum standard as established by the Massachusetts Association for Educational Media in November, 1988. The current status of these collections leaves a great deal of room for improvement both quantitatively and qualitatively~ In November, 1988, a five-year budget plan aimed at the effective development of these collections to standards was tentatively devised by the elementary librarians. This process of collection development will be a balanoe between the continued updating and growth of the overall collection, fiction and non- fiction, and focused in-depth development of specific content areas in conjunction with curricula. It should be noted that an on-going dialogue between the teachers and library staff at our schools has made it possible to develop library collections that are increasingly responsive to the reading/information needs of students attempting to complete classroom assignments. Over the past two years, supplementary book monies were applied to the depth development of the folktale collection tn FY 88 and a core science collection in FY 89, both of which are heavily used collections. In addition, the generous support of the school PTICs and PT0s has made it possible to do some critical collection building in the areas of geography and biography, as well as to add many wonderful new fiction, poetry, and picturebook titles to these collections. In conclusion, we are seeing slow, but steady progress in the area of collection development. Middle School A goal for the Middle School library during the 1988-89 school year has been to encourage the natural relationship between the library and curriculum, to 'sell' the library to teachers and show them how the library could enhance their teaching and the students' learning. In previous years it was necessary to get students and teachers back into the library, to see that it was used, to make everyone feel welcome. Now that that has been accomplished, the focus could become more specific, toward curriculum-related research and reference activities. A good deal of progress was made; more social studies teachers, for example, brough~ their classes to the library or borrowed hooks to use in the classroom for research. More science teachers did the same, and for the first time, language teachers used the library as well. The librarian taught 6th grade classes how to use the Reader's Guide to Periodical Literature for their periodical reports; the science teachers will now make that an annual activity. Little by little more teachers are seeing the value of research activities. A big part of this goal will be reached as curriculum changes are put into effect, and the SARCs provide the perfect vehicle for this change. The librarian has spoken to committees as a whole, worked with individual teachers, and joined a SARC, all toward that end. Hopefully, as more and more teachers do library-related teaching, other teachers will fellow their lead. The progress to date and administrative support have been gratifying. Sixty grade orientation was handled somewhat differently, and quite successfully this year, to make it more relevant to classroom curriculum~ Teachers chose a research activity, and the librarian taught the basic library skills in conjunction with their project. We now have a total of S,O00 books; our goal was to reach 10,000 by the end of our five- year plan. We have one more year of a large book budget, which the librarian will request for the 1991-92 school year. Assuming we purchase 1,000 new books that year, we will have 9,000 volumes, somewhat short of the goal, mainly because of weeding old, out-of-date titles. Also, it is important to realize that number does not tell all about a collection; we have more new books than some schools because our budget has been higher than most schools for the 76 lasts four years. We are increasingly successful in meeting the research needs of the curriculum. Our problem, increasingly, is space. We added three new bookshelves this year for all these new books, and these are already almost full. And even more important, as the library becomes more important, it becomes less available. We can only accommodate one class at a time, plus a few other students doing research, though we have a staff to accommodate mere. Any solution requires an addition or a new library. High School Attendance and Use: The IMC continues to be "the place to go." The number of classes that used the library this year increased from 2,100 in 1987-88 to 2,506 in 1988-89. Loan of audio-visual equipment is down from 2,040 to 1,548 pieces of equipment. We are entertaining more classes and using less audio-visual equipment so research work continues to grow. This does not include the 22,135 students on passes, plus seniors using senior privilege passes. We continue to do a big business in video-taping--over 100 tapes were made this year, and none have been turned back in for recycling. Reference Area: This year we were finally able to establish an area specifically for reference work. Through 1987-88 block grant funds, we purchased shelving which was installed during the summer. In the fall the entire collection was weeded in order to separate the reference books from the circulating books and then moved to the new area. There was some concern about how to orient students to this new arrangement, but there were no problems. Students automatically gravitated toward that section, and more reference books were used and more effectively than ever before. This new physical arrangement also made it possible for me to help more students. First, I was able to see students involved in research and, second, having all the books in one location, I was able to direct them to more sources. It was very gratifying to learn that our students scored very well in library research skills on the state assessment tests. Collection Development: 1988-89 block grant funds went toward updating our reference collection. These purchases included: atlases, dictionaries, the new Encyclopedia Britannica, one career encyclopedia, and the last four volumes of the Dictionary of the Middle Ages. Also, the Encyclopedia of Asian History and the Civilization o__f the Ancient Mediterranean encyclopedia. These purchases allowed us to weed out some very old and out- dated volumes and to replace missing voltunes. We also added one set of art and one set of music encyclopedias. The fiction collection was updated to include almost every title on every reading list used by the English department. These lists were also requested by and sent to the public library so that they will be able to stock titles needed by our students also. Our periodical collection increased from 68 titles to 96 titles allowing us, for the first time, to provide students with periodicals that cater to their personal interests and needs, as well as to their academic needs. S~oecial Programs: The library was the home for the yearbook production for the third year in a row. While it was an extremely successful and personally satisfying project, it was extremely time-consuming and distracting. 77 The library also hosted two artist-in-residence programs this year: the video production program which involved three classes from the English department and the dance workshop program, which involved over 200 students in ten physical education classes, plus two school-wide performances. Both were highly successful, and we hope they will prove to be ground-breakers for other programs in the future. Business Services 1, The computer bus system authorized by the 1988 Town Meeting has been purchased. The system has not yet been fully utilized, but we expect to concentrate on full implementation over the winter months. The program is very complicated and needs almost full-time effort in order to fully master the intricacies, 2. A parent busing committee was formed in July of 1988 and held a series of meetings through January of 1989. An outline progress report was presented in November of 1988 and a final presentation was made to the School Committee in January of 1989. The most important recommendation covered a rescheduling of the elementary routes. This was a complete rework which drastically altered the routes and which reduced the number of stops. These routes were accepted by the School Committee. The Central Office reworked the routes and they went into effect on the Monday after April vacation. 3. The second item from the busing committee covered the establishment of a parent committee to consider requests for additional stops or the re-routing of buses. This committee was established with parent representatives from each of the elementary schools. All requests for changes in bus service were considered by the committee and recommendations were made to the Superintendent. It is planned to have this committee carry over to the 1989-90 school year. 4. We had 143 field trips during the 1988-89 school year. This was down from 156 the year before, but still is the second highest total of the past ten years. 5.

The replacement of carpeting in high traffic areas at the High School was continued for a second year. Ail the drapes at the High School were replaced. 78 The sixth grade wing at the Middle School was completely painted. 4. An extensive program of floor replacement was undertaken at the Middle School. Corridors and classrooms in the old wing were redone. The old tile was removed and new tile (selected by Mr. Aliquo) was installed. The result gave the school a marked improvement in appearance. This was the last of a four-year program to upgrade the building. Work done included: a. Installation of suspended ceilings and fluorescent lights. b. New lockers. c. Painting the entire building. New floors as mentioned above. 5. Plans call for completion of the balance of the flooring and to start improving the exterior. Items included are a new front entrance, added exterior lighting, repair of glass blocks in gym and installation of new, thermal efficient windows. 6. A new stadium was built on the visitors' side at Hayes Field. We had the cooperation of a volunteer citizen committee to help draw the whole plan together. 7. We completed the lighting program at the Kittredge School. Ail incandescent lights have been replaced with fluorescent tubes. 8. We took advantage of a program offered by Mass. Electric to reduce wattage. The High School fialdhouse was relamped, changing from mercury vapor bulbs to high pressure sodium. This installation cost $25,000, of which Mass. Electric paid $20,000. Our consumption of power in the fieldhouse was reduced from 53 KVA to 23 KVA. Our expense on this will be paid back in less than one year. 9. This program from Mass. Electric was also used to replace all exit sign bulbs and isolated incandescent bulbs throughout the system at no cost to us. 10~ We tested for lead in the drinking water at all schools. The Water Department cooperated fully in the testing program. Ail results indicated that we ware within allowed limits. A program of daily flushing of the lines was instituted as a precautionary measure. 11. A new portable classroom was installed at the Franklin School. Provision for two more were budgeted (at tha Atkinson and Bradstreet). These were bid, awarded, and ordered during the month of May and installed in September. 12. We continued to respond to complaints of air quality in the Science Department. We bought two room fans and made arrangements to add to the exhaust system in both class and storage areas. 13. We mentioned an oil spill at the Middle School in our last report. We determined that the breather system was not operating properly. This was repaired, and the bill for cleaning up the spill was paid. 14. Special Needs and Directors' Offices were air-conditioned. 15. All failed thermopana windows at the High School were replaced. 79 16. Music room risers and the balance of the stage at the Middle School were finished. Also, a storage area was built in the wings for the Middle School Drama Club. 17. We added oil pre-heat units for the Middle School oil burnsrs. This was supposed to reduce consumption by increasing firing efficiency. Other schools have told us that this was an effective program. Our experience this first year was negative, and I have notified the supplier, asking him to check the installation. 18. The roof of the Franklin portables was replaced by our staff over the Thanksgiving week-end. 19. All classrooms were provided with at least two grounded outlets (three-prong plug). This was done to be sure we could handle computers in all rooms. 20. 1988-89 was the year of asbestos. We were required to identify and test all inspected material. A plan was to be submitted to the Division of Occupational Hygiene. The towns of the collaborative worked in unison through Mr. Stanley and hired Hall- Kimbrell after a request for proposals and search was conducted. We submitted plans to the state and then made some requested alterations and additions. We were issued a letter, dated July 21, 1989, which confirmed that we were in compliance with all State and Federal requirements as of that date. Our plans are to correct Priority 1 conditions during 1989-90. The regulations mandate that action be taken in a continuing plan to either remove or encapsulate asbestos. Energy: 1. Heating requirements are measured in degree days. If temperature for one day is taken every hour and averaged, the resulting number is subtracted from 65. For example. an average over 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. 2. 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 eight years (July 1 to June 30). Year De£ree Days Variations from 30-Year Average 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 -3.31% 1981-82 6024 +7.17% Note that 1982-83 was about 9% warmer than average, and that 1981-82 was 7% colder than average. We had a 16% swing in one year. Also, last year was very close to average. I think that this is reflected in consumption. It is this uncertainty which makes the budgeting of energy cost difficult. We have an additional variable in a floating cash price. These two variables combine to render the prediction of energy costs an inexact science at best. 3. We show a listing of oil consumption since 1976-77. This was the base year for me 8O 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.

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. Balance as of: June 30, 1982 $ 2,751,28 June 30, 1983 (4,903.08) June 30, 1984 7,523.83 June 30, 1985 40,731,72 June 30, 1986 60,060.10 June 30, 1987 60,205.56 June 30, 1988 74,591.09 June 30, 1989 52,781.58 3. Our lunch price of .75 is the lowest in the area and has not changed since 1980. Please note that our cash balance has shown a decrease, which we predicted last year. Mr. Poutenis has shown great creativity in maximizing income, but an increase in lunch cost is inevitable. We are faced with three problems. a. Increasing labor costs as in the contract. b. Reduced government commodities. c. Increasing cost of food and supplies, ~ have indicated to Mr. Poutenis that when this balance drops below $40,000, we will propose an increase in the price of lunches. It would seem that this will happen before the end of the 1989-90 school year. 4. We participated in a Goodwill Industries training program. Six people passed [hrough 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 1989-90 if Goodwill has another training program. 5.

The next few years represent a significant crossroad for the public schools. We must resolve space issues and school funding issues or face diminished programs for our students. I ask for your help in deciding the future of our system. Respectfully submitted, George I.
