Committee approves two field trips and a memorandum of agreement; routine warrants and minutes also pass
Summary
The School Committee unanimously approved overnight Nature's Classroom and an eighth‑grade Washington, D.C. trip, ratified a one‑year MOA to align 'move one up' contract language, and approved warrants/payroll and May 6 minutes.
The Bourne School Committee approved a series of procedural items and formal motions during its meeting, including two student overnight field trips and a temporary memorandum of agreement.
Motions to approve both the Nature's Classroom overnight field trip (three potential date ranges) and the grade‑8 Washington, D.C. trip were made, seconded and approved unanimously after brief discussion. Administration reported attendance figures for recent trips: about 101 students went to Nature's Classroom and roughly 95 participated in the Washington, D.C. trip this year.
The committee also voted unanimously to approve a memorandum of agreement that alters contract language to reflect timing and procedures for the district’s 'move one up' transition plan. Board members said the MOA will sunset after one year and then be incorporated into the next contract.
Finally, routine governance items were approved without objection: warrants and payroll were authorized and the regular session minutes of May 6, 2026, were accepted.
