1. Students who have been unable to fulfill obligations of our NJHS’ Chapter are notified in writing that they are on probationary status. Those on probation will have no less than one academic quarter and no more than one academic semester to demonstrate their ability and willingness to fulfill all obligations of membership in order to be considered a member in good standing. If they are unable to maintain membership obligations, the Faculty Council will hold a hearing to consider the student’s dismissal from the Chapter.
2. Dismissal Hearings provide the probationary member with due process rights. The member may present reasons s/he should be allowed to maintain NJHS membership. If the Faculty Council rules for dismissal from the Chapter, the student may file a formal, written appeal with the principal asking for reinstatement. The principal has full authority over all actions and decisions of the Faculty Council on discipline or dismissal of members.
