In our diverse community of more than 90,000 students, we recognize that many students and their families are struggling with intensely personal questions, concerns and fears about the national landscape regarding immigration. Our critical mission – and our obligation under the law – is to ensure that our schools are safe spaces where a student’s race, ethnicity, religion and immigration status do not create any barriers to that child’s education. To assist this mission, we want to share answers to the following questions regarding immigration status and our commitment to protect students from discrimination and harassment.

If you have a question that is not answered below, please reach out to communications. We will work to provide an answer and will continue to update this document with answers to your questions.
