Cecilia Lewis, Director of Student Services, presented a recommended Policy 11-20 on Maryland immigration enforcement and asked the board to post the draft for a 30-day public review period.

Lewis said the policy is intended "to ensure that all schools remain safe and have protected spaces for students and staff regardless of citizenship status," and that it was developed using model language from the Office of the Attorney General to satisfy the Maryland Values Act (House Bill 1222) enacted in the 2025 legislative session. Lewis requested the board post the policy for 30 days; the board took no motion to adopt the policy during the meeting and instead authorized the public review process.
