The Boyle County Board of Education on April 1 unanimously approved three items during a special-called meeting in Danville: an out-of-state trip for a Boyle County High School academic-team competitor, a formal dual-enrollment agreement with Asbury University and a preliminary scope of work for renovations at Junction City and Perryville elementary schools.
