The Saugus Public Schools admissions policy has been criticized for imposing overly-strict residency and identity requirements, which allegedly violate the rights of migrant families.
Civil rights advocates argue that the Saugus policy discriminates against migrant children by mandating documentation that many families do not possess, thus hindering access to education.
The recent lawsuit seeks transparency regarding the admissions policy, highlighting that the requirements disproportionately impact families fleeing crises, particularly those from Haiti.
Local advocacy groups filed a legal challenge against Saugus to address what they see as rights violations in the school admissions process for migrant families.
