On this episode of Commissioners Corner, Host, Lois Leonard, connects with Neva Coakley-Grice, the Chief of Safety Services for the Boston Public Schools. They discuss how BPS plans to handle the different needs of every student, and how the unsung role of BPS officers as mentors in school communities is going to play a vital part in helping meet those needs.
