The bill H.511, introduced by Representative Greer of Bennington, aims to establish a policy for schools in Vermont regarding the access of federal immigration authorities. Specifically, it proposes that schools must restrict the admittance of these authorities into nonpublic areas unless they present a judicial warrant. This measure is intended to protect the privacy and rights of students and families within the school environment.
By implementing this policy, the bill seeks to create a clear protocol for how federal immigration authorities can interact with schools, ensuring that any such interactions are conducted legally and with proper oversight. The bill reflects a growing concern over the implications of federal immigration enforcement in educational settings and aims to provide a safeguard for students and their families.
