JOB SUMMARY
Under the direction of the school principal, the Campus Safety Coordinator – Level 2 (CSC-2) assists schools in providing primary protection and intervention services for students, employees, and the school community. The CSC-2 functions as a first responder in the event of an emergency. The primary focus of the CSC-2 is to implement the requirements set forth in the School Guardian Program (Utah Code, 53-22-105) and provide concealed and armed protection in the assigned school. Although the CSC-2 may take actions necessary to prevent an active threat, the CSC-2 may not act in a law enforcement capacity. The CSC-2 may be reassigned to any school based on the needs of the district.
Additionally, the Campus Safety Coordinator – Level 2 (CSC-2) assists schools in providing intervention services for at-risk students by building positive relationships with students and leveraging those relationships to fully engage students in the learning environment. The CSC-2 works collaboratively with staff and students to promote a positive learning climate by overseeing the safety of the school campus, monitoring attendance, enforcing truancy prevention programs and disciplinary policies, reporting pertinent information to appropriate school administrators, and supporting administrative and campus activities. The CSC-2 will consistently promote the expectation of high achievement for all students by providing preventive support and is responsive to referrals for students who are experiencing personal, social, or academic barriers to regular school attendance.
