PJ CAPS includes which item listed in the material?

• A. Paternity
• B. Juvenile
• C. Custody
• D. Guardianship

Answer: (D)

Guardianship is the term the PJ CAPS material uses to describe who has the legal responsibility and authority for a student’s welfare and decisions when a parent or primary caregiver isn’t available. This is the concept the program emphasizes because it directly affects how officers handle safety procedures, medical consent, and appropriate representation for the student in school-related matters. The other terms relate to different legal ideas—paternity concerns parentage, juvenile refers to age status, and custody deals with who has physical or legal care—but they aren’t the specific item highlighted in PJ CAPS in this context.
