At Encinitas Union School District, we embrace the diversity of our community and celebrate the unique contributions of every student and family. We are committed to providing a safe, inclusive, and equitable learning environment where all students are treated with respect and dignity, regardless of immigration status. 

In light of national conversations around immigration, we understand that some families may feel uncertain. We want to reassure you that EUSD will not solicit or collect information about the citizenship or immigration status of students or their families, nor will it assist with immigration enforcement at school sites, except as required by state or federal law. Our priority is to protect the confidentiality, safety, and well-being of all members of our community. 

EUSD is dedicated to supporting families with guidance and resources during these times.  Together, we strive to create a welcoming environment where every individual feels valued and supported. If you or your family has questions or concerns regarding immigration enforcement, our school community liaisons and administrative staff are available at each school site to provide further support. 
 

EUSD POLICY ON IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT

Adopted on 06/19/2018

The EUSD board policy and administrative regulation in response to immigration enforcement reflects our dedication to providing a supportive, inclusive environment where all students feel valued and respected.

Board Policy 5145.13
Board Administrative Regulation 5145.13

The District will not solicit or collect information about the citizenship or immigration status of students or their families, nor will it assist with immigration enforcement at school sites, except as required by state or federal law. 

If staff receive any verbal or written request for information regarding a student’s or family’s immigration or citizenship status, they are instructed to uphold and protect the legal rights of the students and their families.

  • If an immigration officer approaches you during school time while you are on our campus, direct them to the Principal or school personnel about the information request
  • No student information shall be disclosed to immigration authorities by district staff for immigration enforcement purposes without a court order or judicial subpoena. 
  • The District must receive consent from parents/guardians before officers seeking to enforce civil immigration laws interview or search a student unless judicial warrant or subpoena restricts disclosure to the parent/guardian. 
  • Staff will provide students and parents/guardians with any documents provided by the immigration officer unless such disclosure is prohibited by a subpoena served on the District.

We are here to support your family.
