The Bourne School Committee voted unanimously, 7‑0, to approve warrants and payroll at its July 7 meeting. Maureen Fuller moved to approve warrants and payroll; Paul McMaster seconded the motion and the minutes record a roll call result of 7‑0‑0.
Administrators updated members on summer programming. Dr. Ryan Place said summer programs that opened the week of the meeting had 77 students enrolled, a higher number than in past years, and that most students were using district transportation; he said only two students had been driven by parents or caregivers. Jordan Geist confirmed the district is providing transportation for Acceleration Academies at BIS, BMS and BHS and is working with the Cape Cod Collaborative to assist transportation for BIS, BMS and BHS academies.
Principal Christine Borning said Acceleration Academies begin July 13 and will run Tuesday through Thursday for four weeks; participating students were identified using benchmark data and final grades. Principal Amy Cetner described high‑school credit recovery arrangements, noting up to two credits may be available and that the high school has four teachers assigned for the program; she estimated participation at the high school between 32 and 35 students.
On staffing and budget matters, Director of Business Services Jordan Geist said he is beginning FY21 closeout work and reiterated that grant funds (the minutes reference more than $6 million across grants) have been used and will be allocated per grant terms; he cautioned that some line‑item transfers for reporting will not be available until the fall.
Before adjourning at 8:05 PM, the committee briefly discussed future agenda items. Paul McMaster moved to adjourn and Maureen Fuller seconded; the minutes record the meeting ended at 8:05 PM.
