The School Advisory Council (SAC) met in the media center, discussing plans for the upcoming months and receiving updates from each art department.  The SAC meeting went from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.

The 26 attendees consisted of administration, SGA members, student athletes, School of the Arts Foundation Inc. (SOAFI) CEO Chris Snyder, and social studies teacher and chair Sarah Ray.

Thousands of dollars were approved at the meeting for the English department to purchase annual subscriptions for Upfront Magazines and Membean. The voting chairs were introduced to the School Improvement Plan (SIP), the state-required yearly plan made by administration that sets tangible goals based on past years’ analytics.
