Immigration Enforcement Policy
Every student deserves to learn in an environment where they feel safe, supported, and protected. Our school is committed to safeguarding the rights, privacy, and well‑being of all students and families—regardless of immigration status. We follow California’s strongest legal protections to ensure our campuses remain welcoming, secure, and free from discrimination.
Our Commitment to Every Student
California law guarantees every child — regardless of immigration status, nationality, or the status of their family — the right to a free, safe, and welcoming public education.
Our school follows all requirements of Education Code §234.7, AB 495, AB 49, and AB 419, ensuring that:
Students and families are protected from unlawful immigration enforcement on campus
Personal information is kept confidential
Staff are trained on how to respond to requests for access or information
Schools remain safe havens for learning
All students have the right to:
Attend school without fear of immigration enforcement
Enroll in school without providing citizenship or immigration documents
Receive equal access to all programs and services
Learn in a safe, peaceful, and discrimination‑free environment
These rights are protected by the U.S. Constitution, California Constitution, and state and federal civil rights laws.
To protect student privacy and comply with state law, our school does NOT:
