Schools might interact with prosecutors in a few ways:
* Serious Crimes: If a serious crime occurs on school grounds (e.g., assault, theft, drug dealing), the police will investigate and the local prosecutor's office will decide whether to file charges.
* School Resource Officers (SROs): Some schools have SROs, who are police officers assigned to the school. While they don't act as prosecutors, they might investigate incidents and work with the prosecutor's office if charges are warranted.
* Disciplinary Actions: Schools handle most disciplinary issues internally. While serious offenses might lead to legal action involving a prosecutor, the school's own disciplinary system is separate.
In short, schools don't employ prosecutors. Prosecutors are involved only if a crime serious enough to warrant legal action occurs within the school setting.
