Counselors
There are four counselors (2 per city--32 in all) for each of the eight assistant deans (8 counties). The counselors are with the citizens of their respective cities 24/7 and assist the ADs. They are the first line of defense for their delegates and hold city meetings that help further the curriculum and instruction process and assure that the citizens follow the daily schedule.
