They are not coordinated at all. I've watched these kids cause nearly three collisions in the past couple weeks because they wave cross traffic through at the same time and I've nearly been hit maybe twice. I could be in the middle of the intersection and the kid will start waving the motorists through.
Added: First, call the prinicpal and make sure (s)he is fully aware of the situation. Then...

Call the police and let them know what the problem is. If that doesn't work, have a lawyer call the principle and have it explained that (s)he will be personally sued for any traffic accidents caused by the kids.
