| | Hard Lessons in School Security (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07) |
 | | Even when a school or district has a security director, he or she may find it difficult to supervise staff effectively, because building principals and other educational administrators are typically given direct authority and control of on-site security personnel. |
 | | This problem is further complicated by the fact that school districts are notorious for allowing employees who commit crimes or unethical acts to resign or retire from their district to avoid public embarrassment to the district. |
