REQUEST FOR ORGANIZING A NEW CLUB 
STUDENTS MAY ONLY START A NEW CLUB AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR Before October 1st. 
If it can be demonstrated that the need exists for a new club, if enough students express interest in inaugurating and maintaining it, and if faculty sponsorship can be secured, and if certain formal requirements are met, it is possible to organize a new club within the Student Body framework.

NEW CLUB PETITION
THE FOLLOWING STEPS ARE NECESSARY:

1. A petition must be presented to the Student Council. The petition must state specifically the purpose, names, dues, and membership requirements of the club. The petition must be signed by at least fifteen members (in good standing) of the Associated Students of Buchanan High School.
2. The signers of the petition (including organizers of the proposed club) should include a fair proportion of sophomores and juniors to ensure the continuance of the club from year to year.
3. Prior to the approval of the petition by the Student Council, the Advisor must submit a club constitution to the Activities in Google Classroom. 
4. The Constitution must be approved by the Activities Office, ASB, & Buchanan administration. 

Things to consider before starting a new club:

• Do I have a staff member who is willing to lead my club? 
• Is there a similar club on campus? If so, the club petition may be denied. 
• Are there other students interested in joining the club?
