·        Mr. Spangler welcomed everyone and called the meeting to order at 2:09pm.

·        Mr. Spangler gave out the minutes from the January 25, 2008 meeting and asked for any corrections or additions.  With no corrections or additions the minutes stand as read. 

·        Mr. Spangler introduced information about making marketing a certificate program at JRTC.  At the last EAC meeting the committee recommended making the following requirements for a certificate.  A student would be required to take three marketing classes with marketing as a prerequisite.  The superintendents suggested having the students do the co-op portion of the class as the third component instead of a third marketing class. 

·        The committee agreed that marketing, advanced marketing and the co-op portion of the program would be a good sequence for the certificate in marketing.  The committee also recommended the following priorities be used for enrolling students.  First priority would be given to seniors that are looking to get the certificate.  Second priority would be given to juniors.  Third priority would be given to sophomores.  Fourth priority would be given to seniors that are not looking to complete the certificate sequence.  For AHS, these would be the seniors that only want marketing to get an early release.   

·        Mr. Spangler went over the Skills USA district competition results.  He mentioned that nine of the students are eligible for the state competition in Hampton on April 25^th-26^th. 

·        Mr. Spangler handed out information on the Alternative Placement Program.  Ms. Campbell questioned why AHS had eleven slots unused.  Mr. Higgins explained that some of those slots are in the evening program for discipline cases from the school board and the others will be needed shortly for seniors that are in danger of not graduating. 

·        Next meeting date was not set at this time.

·        The meeting was adjourned at 2:50pm.

 

Respectfully submitted
