Grades across all subjects is not the subject of measure, but it is significant
Leaders are held accountable for their actions, and those of their subordinates

Consequences for serious or excessive violations of school rules on top of those administered by VP

4. Responsible Understand: Enforced by:
That they must know where they are supposed to be and what they are required to do
Avoiding “I forgot,” or “I didn’t know what day it was…”
Enforced by:
POD, remind 101, etc.
Consequences for failing to meet obligations that they should have known about

5. Respectful Understand: Enforced by:
That dealing with cadet officers and chiefs, instructors, and other teachers and administrators demands a level of courtesy
Use appropriate language for professional situations
Enforced by:
Emphasis on “Yes, Sir,” or “Yes, Senior,” that is constant and consistent through the year
No profanity in spaces
