Bourne School Committee · August 13, 2026

Summary

DESE formally granted the district permission to host a wraparound Champions pre-K program; district staff said a congratulatory letter will be relinked to meeting materials and implementation planning will continue.

District leaders told the committee that the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) has formally approved the district’s request to host a Champions wraparound pre‑K program at district sites.

"Fully granted us permission to host Champions in our school for the wraparound program," Superintendent (speaker S7) said, noting the approval followed the Board of Selectmen's earlier review. Staff said they will relink the formal DESE letter in the meeting materials and proceed with next steps for program implementation.

Committee members had no objections and described the approval as a positive step toward expanding early‑childhood options in the district. No additional funding request was made at the meeting.
