Abstract
This study examines the roles of Canadian school leaders in response to the rising phenomenon of student use of social media which impacts school climate and safety. The use of social media has resulted in more online text and image-based communication to multiple users and less face-to-face communication with single users. Adolescent communication, a previously invigilated phenomenon, has not yet been replaced by an online social presence with a social regulation. Secondly, there have been changes in national, provincial, and district Safe School policies in response to online misbehaviour that impacts student safety within the school environment. This small study considers the views of nine Canadian secondary school vice-principals about school policies and students’ cyber behaviours. Their responses were collected on a NING, a private cyber environment. Findings indicate that when cyber events come to the awareness of the school administration, the school becomes a nexus for investigation and resolution. The study also finds that when Canadian secondary school administrators are compelled to respond to the event, these school leaders can and do access social media, employ cyber skills to identify users, intervene in wrongdoing and, in the process, follow and enact Canadian Safe School legislation. However, these same school leaders express great reluctance to use social media for their personal or professional purposes. The authors hypothesize that this may be due to their exposure to negative experiences with social media in schools.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
