""I'm a little less worried about ICE coming onto my campus and more worried about when my students are going to and from school," said Amy Abrero, the principal of John O'Connell High School in the Mission."
""Especially working with high school-aged kids, because they do a lot of independent traveling between school and other places.""
""I think the school district is trying to coordinate some sort of response with the city, but it doesn't feel very specific," the principal said."
Immigrant communities in San Francisco remain fearful and uncertain after a last-minute pullback of a planned federal immigration agent surge. Teachers and principals at San Francisco Unified School District seek more robust guidelines to protect immigrant families and students. Current district plans do not address safe passage routes to schools, protocols for agents attempting forced entry, or options for virtual instruction. Principals raised the immigration scenario during pre-school training, but district guidance has focused mainly on directing agents to district headquarters. School staff report concern about students' travel to and from campus and request specific, coordinated measures with the city.
