Superintendent to post letter after student protest; reassures no student contact by immigration entities without warrants
Summary
Superintendent Cook said he will post a letter on Michigan Center School District social media to counter misinformation about a peaceful student protest and told a community member that the district will not allow interaction between immigration entities and students without proper documentation or judicial warrants.
Superintendent Cook told the board he will post a letter on district social media to counter misinformation about a peaceful student protest that took place earlier on Feb. 9. The communication is intended to clarify what occurred and to correct inaccurate public reports, the minutes say.
During the public comment period, community member Michelle Milner asked whether the district has a plan for immigration entities coming onto school grounds. Cook said plans are being discussed with other county superintendents and assured the audience that "there would be no interaction between these entities and students without documentation/warrants being signed by a judge." The minutes do not record additional procedural detail or a written policy change.
