San Dieguito board adopts policy on response to immigration enforcement; one trustee abstains
Summary
The board adopted Board Policy 1445 and Administrative Regulation 1445 (Response to Immigration Enforcement) with edits recommended by Board President Jane Lea Smith; the motion passed with Phan Anderson recorded as abstaining. Three speakers were recorded for the item.
The San Dieguito Union High School District Board of Trustees voted Feb. 12 to adopt Resolution No. 2025‑2026/37 and to adopt Board Policy 1445 and Administrative Regulation 1445 addressing the district’s response to immigration enforcement.
Board President Jane Lea Smith proposed specific edits to AR 1445 during the discussion: replacing several instances of the word “designee” with “district‑level designee” and removing the word “principal” from one subsection where the regulation referenced a local site administrator. The board approved the policy and regulation as presented with those changes; the motion carried with four trustees voting yes and Board Member Phan Anderson recorded as abstaining.
The meeting minutes record three public speakers during the item—Ronette Youmans, Gail Ovian, and a representative of Taxpayers Oversight for Parents and Students (TOPS)—but do not include the content of their remarks in the minutes provided. The minutes do not state any changes beyond the wording edits to AR 1445 described above.
The adopted policy and administrative regulation formalize how district staff should respond to requests for student‑ or staff‑related records and contact from immigration‑enforcement agents; the board did not publish the full text of the revised regulation in the meeting minutes, and the minutes do not specify implementation timelines or reporting requirements.
Next steps: The board recorded the adoption as an official action; the minutes do not list additional public hearings or follow‑up deadlines for implementation.
