The meeting began with an open floor for comments, which yielded no immediate questions from committee members.

The primary focus of the meeting was the invitation extended to Coventry High School to participate in a celebration of AP Day at the Governor's State Room on May 4, just before graduation.

While the exact criteria for selection were unclear, the committee expressed pride in the school's accomplishments and the hard work of its students.

The meeting concluded without further comments or questions, underscoring the committee's satisfaction with the progress made in the district's academic programs and the recognition received by Coventry High School.
