Immigrant student and family resources

The following resources provide information on the rights of immigrants, the threat of deportation and how educators can support our immigrant students and their families. 

On Jan. 21, the Trump administration rescinded a longstanding federal policy that made schools, hospitals and other sensitive locations off-limits with respect to immigration enforcement. New York City public schools, however, still have extra city and state protections. The DOE instructed principals that its directive remains the same: "The DOE does not consent to non-local law enforcement accessing school facilities in any circumstances, and principals and other school personnel may not give consent." We will update this guidance if any state or city immigration policies change.
