Parents and unions urge protections after ICE operation; parent raises student‑record privacy breach
Summary
Public commenters and employee groups described an ICE operation that disrupted the community and praised staff who organized a cleanup; a parent told the board she found another student's confidential evaluation in her child's records and said she has received no written response.
At the June 11 board meeting, multiple public speakers and labor representatives urged the district to prioritize student safety and record‑keeping after weekend events involving federal immigration enforcement.
Monica Rodriguez, a parent who requested translation services, said she inspected her son’s academic file at Alandre Middle School and discovered what she described as “a confidential and independent evaluation that belonged to another student,” calling the discovery a “very serious violation of privacy.” Rodriguez said she turned the document over to the school secretary the same day and emailed the principal and the special education office on May 30 but had not received a formal written reply.
CSEA and TAP representatives described an ICE operation that prompted community members to physically block a staging area, and they said photos and video showed non‑lethal projectiles used near residents. The labor representatives thanked district staff for a statement opposing the ICE activity and for their support of affected families. "ICE has no place in our schools," a CSEA representative stated during remarks urging continued protective measures for students and families.
Board members and staff acknowledged the community response and the volunteer cleanup that followed; staff committed to follow up when contact information is provided by speakers during public comment. The record‑handling allegation led at least one board member to request administrative follow‑up to ensure a written response and clarification for the family.
The public‑comment period lasted up to three minutes per speaker, and staff said they would respond to inquiries when contact information was supplied.
