The Brookline Extended Day Advisory Council (BEDAC) is an all volunteer non-profit composed of parent board members and directors from Brookline’s eight independently run extended day programs. Our mission is to support and enable effective communication, cooperation and collaboration among the programs and with the School Department and the community. Now over 40 years old, Brookline’s are the first in-school extended day programs in the nation. Our programs provide critical programming for one in four of Brookline’s elementary children including academic support, enrichment and recreation activities.
