Section 24.

Special Cases and Exceptions. The Board may consider certain special cases in determining the validity of excuses for absence, tardiness, and early departure. The member must, however, present his or her excuse to the board/body concerned through a formal letter and other supporting documents. Decisions may only be appealed once.

Unless deemed otherwise by the presider, a simple majority vote may suffice to pass any ordinary measure. Decisions on major policies have to be passed by at least 2/3 of those who voted.
