Weston committee considers updating policy on federal immigration enforcement

What happened

At its September 14 meeting, the Weston School Committee was scheduled to consider amendments to existing Policy ACH, “Response to Federal Immigration Enforcement Activity,” to address requirements enacted under the Massachusetts PROTECT Act. The agenda marked the item “vote anticipated,” so this is a proposed policy change rather than a confirmed adoption.

Why it matters to families

If adopted, the amendment could change how Weston Public Schools respond to federal immigration-enforcement activity and affect protections and procedures relevant to students and families across the district.

The evidence

The official September 14, 2026 School Committee agenda lists “Amendment to Policy ACH – Response to Federal Immigration Enforcement Activity” as a major-business item with “vote anticipated,” and says the committee will consider amendments to the existing policy to address requirements under the Massachusetts PROTECT Act.
