As the District’s Chief of Safety and Security, Jadine has made it her team’s mission to support schools in maximizing student achievement through the lens of promoting safe and calm environments and building relationships with students. Jadine oversees the safety operations for more than 380,000 students in more than 640 schools, and is responsible for supporting school administrators in their efforts to provide a safe and welcoming learning environment for all students and staff.
