Schools should be places of safety and learning, where every child can focus on education without fear or disruption. Recent changes at the federal level have raised concerns not only about how immigration enforcement could impact students, but also about the safety of our schools and the strength of our neighborhoods. Families trust schools to be safe spaces for learning, yet immigration raids — or even the threat of them — break that trust and leave children feeling unsafe and afraid instead of focusing on learning.

Our bill will require school districts to adopt clear procedures for responding to immigration enforcement. These steps will protect student privacy, give administrators and staff clear guidance, and affirm schools as welcoming places for all.

Our bill makes sure all kids can go to school and learn, without worrying about immigration raids carried out without a judicial warrant disrupting their safety. All students should be able to learn and succeed without fear.

Please join us in supporting all Pennsylvania students by ensuring that our schools remain safe, welcoming environments that strengthen our communities and allow every child to thrive.
