School safety and student support

What responsibilities should school staff and officers share, and which should stay separate?

F1 identifies inconsistent role definitions and R1 calls for written standards. Discussion can weigh consistency against the needs of individual campuses without assuming officers should handle routine discipline.

Why this matters

Clear expectations can help students, families and staff understand who makes decisions and where to raise concerns.
