If you look at an APS Police car, you'll find and emblem on the rear corner panel.  I believe their police officers wear the same emblem on their left arm.

In large print, you read SAFEGUARDING OUR FUTURE.
Ostensibly, it is the future of children being safeguarded, in reality, it's the future (and well-being) of board members and senior administrators they're about safeguarding.

They admitted they will follow orders from board members, even though board members have no authority as individuals to order anybody to do anything.

They admitted, link, they'll throw someone out of a meeting on the say so of a board member, regardless of whether they have witnessed a crime or real misconduct.

In the small print;

CARING, RESPECT, FAIRNESS, CITIZENSHIP, 
RESPONSIBILITY and TRUSTWORTHINESS; 

the Pillars of Character Counts!, a nationally recognized,
accepted and respected code of ethical conduct.

Standards to which students are held accountable and they are not.
