A parent urged the Millard Public Schools Board of Education to draft a clear, public policy limiting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) access to school property and student records, saying the district’s existing policy dates to 1988 and predates ICE.

Melissa Webb, who identified herself with an address and as a Millard parent, told the board she asked district officials about policy protections and received “a copy of a board policy, 54 70, written in 1988 before ICE even existed.” Webb said that response left her and other parents without assurance that district staff are trained to distinguish judicial warrants from administrative warrants and that educators lack guidance if ICE appears on campus.

Webb told the board the ACLU has documented more than 100 attempts by ICE to access school-related information or enter campuses over the past decade in other states and that schools must be places of “safety, learning, and trust for every child regardless of their immigration status.” She asked the board to commit to drafting and publicly posting a policy similar to Omaha Public Schools’ policy that requires judicial warrants and legal-review procedures before ICE enters school property.

Board response and next steps: The board president told Webb someone from administration would follow up; no formal motion or change to district policy was taken during the meeting. Webb’s comments constituted non‑agenda public comment and were scheduled at the meeting’s end.

Why it matters: A parent contended the district’s written guidance is outdated and that specific training and a clear public policy are necessary to protect families and staff from legal and procedural confusion when immigration enforcement seeks campus access.
