Glenview CCSD 34 administration reviewed the district’s privacy and protection policies after community members raised questions about immigration enforcement and interactions with federal officers.

Administration listed multiple district policies that address privacy and safety, citing policy sections presented verbally at the meeting (for example, policy references read aloud as Policy 4:15 on staff identity protection and handling of personally identifiable information; Policy 4:170 on comprehensive district safety and crisis plans; Policy 5:90 on interactions with the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services; Policy 7:15 on student and family privacy rights; Policy 7:90 on parent/guardian consent before releasing students; Policy 7:150 on agency and police interviews; Policy 7:340 on student records privacy; Policy 7:345 on student data privacy and security; and Policy 8:100 on relationships with other organizations).

Administration told trustees that internal, written protocols exist for staff actions when a federal officer seeks to conduct business on district property but said the district will not discuss operational details publicly "for the safety of the staff" and to preserve procedural safeguards. "We do understand that parents and staff members have understandable concerns about their students and their colleagues, and we believe that we have policies and procedures in place that protect students and staff, within legal parameters," the district leader said.

A board member noted case law and Supreme Court precedent protecting public education access regardless of immigration status and said the board’s approach is both legally consistent and morally right. Trustees asked administration to keep the board and community updated as needed and to continue to review policies and cross-reference any references to external agencies.

Administrators emphasized that specific operational steps are maintained internally and that procedures include notifying parents or guardians when law-enforcement interactions occur, consistent with existing district policy.
