The Faculty Council consists of seven members of Leonardtown Middle School: sixth, seventh and eighth grade teachers, the Instructional Resource Teacher, and your two co-leaders of NJHS. This council is set up to negate potential bias and to ensure that the students/members have a fair opportunity to appeal an issue.
Please note: Any disputes regarding a member who is not in good standing need to be sent in writing to Mrs. Sheehan, Mrs. Brown and Dr. Dennie.
