Because it is our duty and responsibility to provide each child in our District with a high quality public education in a safe and nurturing environment, we have given these directions to the staff at our schools:
- Our staff will not request information or make a record of information on the immigration status of a student or family member. Furthermore, students and families will not be required to provide a social security number for school forms.
- If the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency asks for access to a school or for access to student information, they will be politely denied and referred directly to the Superintendent or Assistant Superintendent for Educational Services who will refer the matter to the District鈥檚 legal counsel.
- Anyone in our schools seeking answers to questions about immigration will be referred to local non-profit immigration law organizations, such as the and the聽 or other recommended resources available below.

Know Your Rights: Interactions with ICE Agents
Undocumented immigrants in the US do have rights when it comes to interactions with ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) agents. Here are some key points to keep in mind:
- Right to Remain Silent: You have the right to remain silent and not answer questions about your immigration status or country of origin.
- Right to an Attorney: You can request to speak with an attorney before providing any information.
- Right to Not Open the Door: ICE agents cannot enter your home without a valid warrant signed by a judge. You can ask to see the warrant before opening the door.
- Right to Not Sign Anything Without Understanding: If presented with any documents, you should not sign them without understanding their contents. You can ask for clarification or seek legal advice.
- Right to Not Be Subject to Unlawful Searches and Seizures: ICE agents cannot search your home or belongings without a valid warrant.
It’s important to stay calm and composed during any encounter with ICE agents and to assert your rights confidently. If you feel your rights have been violated, you can report the incident to organizations like the ACLU or other legal aid groups.
