Review and Discussion of 2018-19 Scholar Survey
Ms. Battle shared her disappointment with the lack of interest in amusement parks for field trips.
Mr. Lewis suggested we have a comparison on survey results in the near future. Ms. Christopher mentioned that it would be interesting to see a year to year comparison.
The council also shared suggestions for awards and recognition. They suggested having recognition through Monday Morning Update shoutouts, certificates, and CCS Swag as ways to improve awards. The council will continue to share ways to improve awards and recognition at their next meeting on February 13, 2019.

Council Member Feedback
Ms. Christopher shared that the survey results were very insightful, and is glad we put out a survey again this year. She looks forward to seeing what comes from Compass after using this information.
Ms. Effie mentioned that she loved seeing the results as it was interesting to see others opinions and thoughts.
Ms. Gordon suggested it would be a good idea to have another survey towards the end of the year to see if there is a shift in responses. Mr. Lewis asked if there is any section in particular that we would like to target.
Mr. Effie shared his concern with course work due dates during winter break. He hopes these scheduling problems will be taken care of next semester and in the future. The council suggested to take a look at the StrongMind system as most experienced course scheduling issues during the winter break.
Ms. Hearne-Hooker shared that she learned a lot of new information about scholar interests.
