An update from DHSP regarding after-school expansion and progress toward universal after- school 4.

An update from DHSP and the Office of Early Childhood and Cambridge Public Schools on the Universal Pre-K rollout 5. An update from the Office of Veteran's Services Some of these topics may require more than one meeting, but this is our starting point. If there are other topics that you would like addressed that fall under our committee’s charge, please feel free to share. Respectfully,
