Board Approves New Policy on Responding to Immigration Enforcement

What happened

The Board approved new Board Policy and Administrative Regulation 1445, which restricts staff disclosure of student/family immigration information and limits immigration enforcement access to campuses unless legally required, per a CDE mandate to adopt and post such policy by March 1, 2026.

Why it matters to families

This establishes new family-facing protections and staff procedures regarding immigration enforcement encounters at school, directly affecting how the district interacts with students, families, and law enforcement in sensitive situations.
