    The council voted to uphold the education budget as planned.

    In this sentence, the correct council is the one that means a group of people who have voting power. The only option here is council with an i. To remember the difference, you can think about the fact that when people vote they used to say "aye" or "nay". "Aye" is usually pronounce "I". So ... council with an "I" are the people who vote "I". A counsel (with an e) is like a school counselor ... someone Educates students and gives advicE.
