The Saugus School Committee's new admission policy places an undue burden on immigrant and mixed-status families, violating their constitutional rights and requiring legal residency proof.
The superintendent’s authority to investigate residency questions may lead to the removal of students, imposing penalties on families that do not comply with the stringent requirements.
