In a recent government meeting, members discussed various topics, including attendance issues, student activities, and a proposed Spanish exchange program. The meeting began with a note on the absence of a member, Jeremy, who is currently in Germany, leading to a lack of quorum for roll call votes. The minutes from the previous meeting were approved unanimously, with one member abstaining.

During the public participation segment, no attendees were present to voice concerns or questions. The student report highlighted several upcoming events: seniors are preparing for prom and homecoming, juniors are organizing a talent show, sophomores are fundraising through holiday wreath sales, and freshmen are planning a movie night and decorations for a pep rally.

The meeting also featured a presentation on the Spanish exchange program, which is entering its fifth iteration. This program will allow approximately 30 students from BHS to travel to Spain from February 6 to 22, with Spanish students visiting the U.S. from March 13 to 28. Students will immerse themselves in Spanish culture by living with host families and attending classes alongside their peers. The program includes field trips to notable cities such as Madrid and Toledo.

Committee members expressed enthusiasm for the exchange and moved to support the program for the 2024-2025 school year, pending further discussion and approval. The meeting concluded without additional subcommittee reports or announcements.
