AI SummaryVerified

Key Takeaways

•Only the school principal can pick kids to be on the school safety patrol.
•Kids and their parents must agree in writing before a kid can join the patrol.
•If either the kid or the parent changes their mind and says no in writing, the kid can’t be on the patrol anymore.

Example

A 5th grader wants to be on the school safety patrol to help younger kids cross the street.

The principal can only let the 5th grader join if both the kid and their parent sign a paper saying it’s okay. If the parent later decides they don’t want their kid doing it and writes a note to the school, the kid has to stop being on the patrol.
