Several parents and community members used public comment at the Sept. 10 Pomona Unified School District Board of Education meeting to urge the district to expand "know your rights" training and to publicly pledge support for immigrant families following recent national court activity.

Jessica Limon, identifying herself as a mother of a Diamond Ranch High School student and a member of Gente Organisada, told the board she was "here today to express my worries for our students and families who have been affected by the recent and ongoing ICE raids." She urged the district to "provide a series of know your rights training for students, parents, teachers and faculties" and "to take a proactive role in protecting PUSD families."

Hilda Osorio, who identified herself as a parent of a Ganesha student and a member of a community group, described families who are "being harassed by ICE" and said parents and students are fearful. "Students are not showing up to school for fear of being detained and separated from their families," she told the board and asked for workshops to help families recognize when agents are violating rights.

Superintendent Darren Knowles responded during board remarks that the district has partnered with the Latino Roundtable and the county and "we have done the know your rights trainings for our community. We will provide additional trainings and we'll step those up for the community." He encouraged district staff and classified employees to participate as trusted campus contacts.

Board members and community leaders in attendance urged ongoing outreach and language‑accessible materials. The public speakers linked the request to recent national developments and stressed the need for the district to publicly state its support for affected families and to provide practical trainings for students, parents and staff.
