Which individual is primarily responsible for coordinating communication with the child protective agency during an investigation?

• A. Local District Operations Coordinator.
• B. Site custodian.
• C. School nurse.
• D. Parent teacher association president.

Answer: (A)

Coordinating communication with the child protective agency during an investigation is handled by the Local District Operations Coordinator. This role is the district’s designated liaison, responsible for maintaining the official channel between the school site and the agency, relaying information as requested, coordinating interviews, and ensuring all communications follow district procedures and confidentiality rules. Having a single point of contact at the district level helps ensure the information is accurate, timely, and consistent across the school and the agency.

The other roles aren’t designated to manage investigations with the agency. A site custodian focuses on facilities, not investigative communications; a school nurse handles student health concerns rather than district- and agency-wide liaison duties; and the PTA president is a parent volunteer without authority to coordinate with the child protective agency.
