Schaumburg Student Council

Executive board Application

Student Council is a year long commitment that requires hard work and dedication.  Next year’s Executive Board will be rewarded with free tickets to all Student Council Dances.  Although Student Council is a lot of fun, it requires a significant amount of time; so the following guidelines are required

·Must have a lunch period or free period available for Executive Board meetings

·If an executive board member misses the decorating the day of any dance, they  

  will lose their board position

·All absences (executive and regular member meetings) must be cleared by the sponsors.   

 Two unexcused absences will be considered the equivalent of missing decorating the day

  of the dance.
