OK this is a basic rundown of how the group at San Clemente High School works. Each month everyone votes on who they want to be a part of a five person council. The five with the most overall votes are the leaders for that month(everyone only gets one vote). The five then determine who will run what for that month. The five areas are Scavenging, Security, Supplies, Inner Management(keep peoples morale up and punishment if need be), and Walker and Foreigner Control(deals with the walker cleanup mostly and people who aren't apart of the group). No one person is allowed to run the same position two months in a row. No one person is allowed to be on the council for more than five months in a row. Every Monday Wednesday and Friday the council meet together to discuss any recent developments and on Saturdays they give a weekly update to the members of the group. Any time a new person shows up they ask them the three questions that are asked in the show to new people in addition to, "Is there someone after you?" and if yes then, "Why?"

Each person typically has their own way to run a division but they are all very similar. For Scavengers the person in charge picks three people to run their own teams. People can be on multiple teams and anyone can be on the team. Security just picks who they want watching the defenses and how often and the rotations. Supplies picks one person to assist them in taking care of the supplies and does continual counts of the items they have and determine the rations for the month. Inner Management just deals with the people. Works kinda like a psychiatrist really. Also determines punishment based on what occurred. Walker and Foreign Control typically just takes out straggling walkers outside the school and key locations around the city. Also deals with anyone who isn't part of the group.

Charles is a trustworthy ex-drill sergeant. He is very friendly to all the children. When he isn't instructing those under him people describe him as a child at heart.

Sandra is an older woman who was the Principal's secretary. She is strict yet kind. She doesn't tolerate rude behavior and is very organised.

Jefferson was one of the teachers at the school so he knows the ins and out of the building very well. He is called a stiff and loves making up useless protocol. He means well.

Dominic is a ex-conman but tells everyone he was a train conductor. He is very selfish but hides it. He really doesn't care about the group except for his little daughter.

Ollie is Alex's older brother. He was a pro baseball player. He is a leader type of person. Determined, hard-working, and cares about his siblings and the group.
