Frank Parrish reported on School Committee meeting on
kindergartens and distributed their memeoraphed information
to all members. He said that costs to town have been under–
stated because they do not include the cost of an extra
building, which would not be needed if it were not for
kindergartens (add $150,000/yr. to their $123,000). Members
questioned whether there would be additional cost for super–
visor, auxiliary teachers, secretaries, etc. October
enrolment will show whether new trend continues or old
rapidly increasing trend resumes; if old trend resumes,
school will not be available for kindergarten. If new
trend continues and kindergartens do not pass T.M. , school
would not be needed until at least 1971, possibly 1972.
Fall Town Meeting anticipated.
