Massachusetts public school districts are proactively informing families about protections for students, irrespective of their immigration status. For instance, Somerville Public Schools reassured parents that they do not inquire about immigration status, share records with ICE without consent, or permit ICE access without a warrant. Superintendent Rubén Carmona emphasized the district's commitment to an inclusive education for all, which stems from the recent changes in federal immigration policy that have raised concerns about student safety. This initiative reflects a broader effort to maintain a safe learning environment for all immigrant families in the community.
At Somerville Public Schools, we are deeply committed to supporting all of our immigrant students and families. This commitment is rooted in our longstanding belief that every child has the right to access high-quality education in an inclusive and safe environment, regardless of race, religion, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, or immigration status.
This week, public school districts in Massachusetts are sending messages to families about student protections, emphasizing that they will not inquire about immigration status.
