District news
Board bars staff from giving ICE access to student records without a warrant
What happened
On September 2, 2025, the board adopted 'Safe Spaces, Strong Futures,' formally stating that no district employee may give a non-emergency law enforcement agency, including ICE, access to student or family records without both a valid warrant and approval from the superintendent or assistant superintendent. The board readopted the same resolution on August 18, 2026.
Why it matters to families
This sets a concrete rule for how the district handles immigration-enforcement requests, directly affecting immigrant and mixed-status families among a student body that speaks at least 68 languages.
The evidence
Both the September 2, 2025 and August 18, 2026 signed resolutions state the district will not allow access to or provide records or private information about any student, family, or employee to non-emergency law enforcement, including ICE, absent a valid warrant and superintendent approval, and cite existing Administrative Regulation 1410.
