Deans do not work in isolation; rather they are integral to the total education program.
Deans responsibilities include the following
- Discipline
- Attendance
- Safety and Security
- Oversee student services teams and the implementation of targeted interventions for students
- Work with teachers and school counselors to design and monitor short-term behavioral and attendance improvement plans
- Work with students and families to design and monitor behavioral and attendance improvement plans
