Remind members that paperwork is due after Fall break and discuss the mistakes from the past paperwork. ( ex. signature clarification, missing paperwork, not filled out completely, etc.)
Remind members that we will be voting on the bylaws in 2 weeks. We suggest the members read them if not done already and to ask any questions before we vote on them.
Article IV, Section 3, Paragraph C - Candidates eligible for selection shall demonstrate leadership and character by submitting the Candidate Information Form by the deadline provided by the adviser(s).
Article V, Section 1 - The selection of members to this chapter shall be by a majority vote of the faculty council which consists of five faculty members appointed by the principal. The chapter adviser(s) shall be nonvoting member(s) of the faculty council.
Article V, Section 3, Paragraph B - All students who are eligible scholastically (i.e., candidates) shall complete and submit the candidate information form for further consideration by the deadline provided by the adviser(s).
Article VI, Section 2 - Members shall attend all meetings. It is the sole responsibility of the member to sign in at each meeting to document the member’s attendance. Undocumented attendance may be treated as a missed meeting. Failure to attend a meeting without prior approval from the adviser(s) at least one school day before the meeting may result in probation. Members who miss meetings without approval and as a result of an unexcused absence may be placed on probation. Excused absences, including those due to illness, must be explained to the adviser(s)s or the secretary of this chapter of the National Junior Honor Society within one school day of the member's return, or it may be treated as a missed meeting. Any materials due must be turned in to the adviser(s) no later than the day the member returns to school. The adviser(s) and faculty council may choose to allow one missed meeting each quarter.
Article XII - These bylaws may be amended by a two-thirds vote of the chapter, provided notice of the proposed amendment has been given to the members at least two weeks prior to the vote. The exceptions are Articles V, VIII, and X, which are developed by the faculty council with the approval of the principal (selection, meeting scheduling, and discipline).
