“What’s new in state law?”
Your school district is already required to have a policy in place to make sure that students have access to education regardless of immigration status.
The California Attorney General has published guidance for local policies.
Per AB 49, any officer or employee of an agency conducting immigration enforcement is prohibited from entering this school without a valid judicial warrant, judicial subpoena, or court order. Additionally, all local educational agencies will be required to update local policies to limit assistance with immigration enforcement and ensure that public schools remain safe and accessible to all California residents.
Per SB 98, the school must update their safety plan and notify families and staff if any immigration enforcement occurs at a school site.
“¿Qué hay de nuevo en la ley estatal?”
Su distrito escolar ya está obligado a tener una política establecida para garantizar que los estudiantes tengan acceso a la educación independientemente de su estatus migratorio. El Fiscal General de California ha publicado una guía para las políticas locales.
De acuerdo con AB 49, ningún funcionario o empleado de una agencia encargada de la aplicación de la ley de inmigración podrá entrar en esta escuela sin una orden judicial válida, una citación judicial o una resolución judicial. Además, todas las agencias educativas locales deberán actualizar las políticas locales para limitar la asistencia con la aplicación de la ley migratoria y garantizar que las escuelas públicas sigan siendo seguras y accesibles para todos los residentes de California.
De acuerdo con SB 98, la escuela debe actualizar su plan de seguridad y notificar a las familias y al personal si ocurre cualquier operativo/acción de las autoridades de inmigración en el sitio escolar.
