 GENERAL STATEMENT OF DUTIES

 Under general direction, plans, coordinates, supervises, and evaluates the daily
 operations of the School Safety Coordinator Program within the Office of Safety,
 Security and Emergency Management (SSEM). Provides direct supervision to Lead
 Safety Coordinators and operational oversight of School Safety Coordinators
 assigned throughout Arlington Public Schools.

 Responsible for personnel accountability, staffing coordination, operational
 readiness, training compliance, incident review, and implementation of

 SUPERVISION

 Work is performed under the general supervision of the Assistant Director of
 Safety, Security and Emergency Management (SSEM), who establishes departmental
 priorities, operational objectives, and performance expectations.

 The incumbent exercises independent judgment in supervising Lead Safety
 Coordinators, coordinating operational staffing assignments, monitoring
 compliance with departmental expectations, conducting operational reviews, and
 implementing departmental initiatives. Work is reviewed through operational
 outcomes, personnel performance, program effectiveness, and achievement of
 departmental goals.

 The Supervisor provides direct supervision of Lead Safety Coordinators and
 indirect operational oversight of School Safety Coordinators assigned throughout
 the Division.

 DISTINGUISHING CHARACTERISTICS

 This is a management-level position within the Office of Safety, Security and
 Emergency Management (SSEM) responsible for Division-wide operational oversight
 of the School Safety Coordinator Program.

 Unlike Lead Safety Coordinators, who provide direct supervision and operational
 leadership to assigned School Safety Coordinators, the Supervisor provides
 program-wide oversight of personnel accountability, staffing coordination,
 operational readiness, training implementation, compliance monitoring, and
 quality assurance activities.

 Unlike the Assistant Director, who is responsible for strategic planning, policy
 development, budget oversight, executive-level stakeholder relationships, and
 major personnel decisions, the Supervisor is responsible for the implementation,
 monitoring, and evaluation of daily program operations.
