The Woodstock City Council on Monday will consider weighing in on the graduation ceremony debate.

The meeting is at 7 p.m. at the Woodstock City Hall Annex.

The council is expected to approve a resolution in support of the Cherokee County School District keeping the ceremonies at First Baptist Church of Woodstock.
