District describes staff protocols for immigration visits; board asked about door-propping stickers
Summary
Administrators said staff have been briefed on procedures if immigration agents visit schools, praised work by safety staff and asked whether more door-propping prevention stickers are needed.
District administrators told the board that staff have guidance and training in place if Immigration and Customs Enforcement or other immigration agents visit district schools and highlighted steps to keep students safe.
The board heard that Superintendent McCracken issued a message to families and staff describing processes and that school security leads have been provided with directives and a webinar overview. Pedro Valis and other safety staff were singled out by trustees and administrators for preparing communications and ensuring staff understand response protocols, presenters said.
Separately, a board member asked about door-propping prevention stickers — small signs that say “Stop propping doors open” — and a facilities or safety staff member said they can obtain hundreds and suggested an initial distribution of 100 to cover buildings. Board members agreed to pursue obtaining a larger supply to discourage propped exterior and interior doors.
Board discussion emphasized collaboration among administrators, safety staff and communications leads to ensure families receive accurate information about immigration-related policies and that frontline staff know how to respond; presenters said they would continue training and provide materials.
