Board adopts policy on response to immigration enforcement; member asks for SB 627 mask language to be reviewed
Summary
The board adopted Board Policy 5145.13 (response to immigration enforcement). A board member asked staff and legal counsel to consider adding language related to face coverings consistent with SB 627; the board voted to adopt the policy and said it will bring back modifications if needed.
The San Bernardino City Unified School District Board of Education voted to adopt Board Policy 5145.13, which sets the district’s response to immigration enforcement on school property. The policy was moved, seconded and carried by roll call as recorded in the meeting transcript.
During discussion, Board Member Medina said she supported the policy’s language but requested staff and the district’s legal team review whether the administrative regulation should address exceptions and identification when a person enters campus wearing a face covering in light of SB 627. Medina said she wanted the legal team to examine how statutory requirements prohibiting the concealment of law enforcement faces might intersect with campus safety and privacy language.
The board president said the board would vote on the policy then bring back proposed language changes or AR (administrative regulation) adjustments for review. The recorded vote was Aye and the motion to adopt the policy carried; board members indicated they would return the item later with any recommended language updates from legal staff.
