Because of this, the current SGA policy is to exclude Executives from being committee chairs, although it is not Constitutionally forbidden. The reason it is not forbidden is for cases similar to the one in the Spring of 2009, where the only active first-year members of some committees were incoming-executives (Even in this case, one of the committees chaired by executives was transitioned to non-executives in January of 2010). Excluding this special case, it is highly recommend that Executive members refrain from committee chairmanship. | Because of this, the current SGA policy is to exclude Executives from being committee chairs, although it is not Constitutionally forbidden.

| + | Since it's creation, SGA has contributed much to the Missouri Academy Community. Below are the major examples of such contributions. Much of what SGA does, however, are year-to-year activities, such as prom, maintaining the building through the Residential Life Committee, etc. For this reason, attempting to enumerate every achievement of SGA would be an impossible task. The achievements listed below are non-typical, and serve as instances where SGA as an organization took it upon itself to go above and beyond the typical and expected activities: | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===2007-2008=== | ||
| + | *Removing the GPA requirement for seniors having Extended Curfew privileges | ||
| + | *Altering the cell-phone policy to allow students to keep their cell-phones overnight. Previously, all cell phone were collected by RCs after on-floor curfew. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===2008-2009=== | ||
| + | *Creating the ELMS program for May Session. Previously, all students were required to do mandatory community service during May. | ||
| + | *Hosting the first SGA-sponsored college fair. College fairs had been hosted by the Academy before, but due to the location of Maryville and lack of surrounding schools, the idea was abandoned by the Admin in the early 2000's. This event marked the renewal of the yearly event, this time run by students. A method of overcoming the challenges facing hosting a Maryville college fair would not be discovered until the next year, however, and the fall 2009 fair had only 15 schools and only Missouri Academy students attended. | ||
