St. Jude School Preamble

We the St.Jude students, think the school would be better if we have more school faculty meetings with parents and teachers so the parents and teachers have a better connection. This constitution will make life easier for the parents, and more relaxing for the students. We also think that the school should improve the students' education with more hands-on projects and more improved technology. The parents should be more involved in the school and learn what is going on so the students, knowledege may improve. We the St. Jude students think we should make an attempt to do all of these things.

The Senate will hold their place until they resign, die, or get fired from a wrong doing. The Senate has to graduate from college and have all of the degreees they need in order to teach. The number of Representatives is based on how many people live with an individual student at the time.

Congress can make rules, but the principal can veto any laws the Congress tries to pass. If the principal vetos the law, the Congress must know by 10 days after it is vetoed. If 2/3 or more vote to pass the law, they can overpower the veto the principal wanted. The principal can have an unsigned bill so the rule cannot be made.
