New Business Mr. Runyon gave the Council more information about the Dual Enrollment/Dual Credit classes. He thanked Mr. Carpenter for suggesting that a letter be sent to all junior parents.

Dr. Debbie Vincent seconded. Motion carried.

Mr. Runyon discussed the request from Ms. Modlin about the Arts and Humanities Field Trip to New York City in March and the Choral Field Trip Request to New York City in April from Mrs. Hopkins. The Council was in agreement that the trips only enhance the opportunities for our students and was in full agreement on how beneficial they are. Funding of both trips was discussed and Mr. Runyon informed the Council that the students pay for the trips through different funding raising activities. Randy Carpenter made a motion to approve the trips. Cindy Worthington seconded. Motion carried.
