San Diego Unified Protects Students from Trump’s Actions Against Immigrants

Good afternoon,

 

Below and attached is a statement you can use for your reporting regarding Trump's immigration effort, and its impact on schools. The statement is attributed to our Superintendent. Also:  

  • Attached is the memo the District sent to staff in December 2024, and again today (1/22) on the actions they should take.  
  • Here is a link to the immigration policy our District follows. It was approved by our Board of Education and reaffirmed in December 2024.
  • Here is a link to the resources and information on how to report incidents that we have provided students, families, and our administrators   

 

Let me know if you have questions, thanks, James Canning, 313-580-2845

Statement: San Diego Unified Protects Students from Trump's Actions Against Immigrants  

January 22, 2025

 

It's unlikely the actions President Trump has taken so far will have a direct effect on our students. In December, our Board of Education reaffirmed its commitment to uphold a long-standing policy on our response to immigration enforcement. 

 

Our District is committed to ensuring everyone in our school communities feel safe, valued, and supported. We have also made resources available and communicated regularly with parents and administrators. If anything, other than our standard policies are required, we will take action.
