The OORS reports can be disaggregated and are commonly used by schools to deploy Safety Agents and track discipline issues in schools. In my experience the School Safety folk are quite responsive. If there are abuses by School Safety agents they should be reported immediately.

Clearly, there is a NEED for safety agents. Here's another one of those "guilt by association" posts: since there are a few bad safety agents, then all safety agents must be bad. I thought only FOX NEWS did this kind of reporting.
