Board adopts resolutions protecting immigrant students and affirming equity; updates equity policy
Summary
Trustees adopted two resolutions affirming equal access to education regardless of immigration status and support for diverse students, and they approved a revised equity policy (BP 0415) with a minor edit; trustees said the actions reinforce district commitments to student safety and inclusion.
The board unanimously adopted two companion resolutions and updated an equity policy to make district commitments explicit. The first resolution (Resolution 24-2025-22) affirms that the district will protect immigrant students' access to education, will not permit immigration-enforcement access to school grounds without a valid warrant and will not share student or family information with immigration authorities unless required by law. The superintendent read the resolution and recommended board approval.
Trustees then considered a second resolution that affirms support for the district's diverse students and the board's obligation to promote accurate and inclusive education consistent with California law. The board also approved an update to Board Policy 0415 (Equity), removing a stray reference to "advanced college preparation" (strikeout) that does not apply in the district context and adopting the CSBA-recommended language as the district policy.
Representative quote: As the resolution was read aloud, it stated, "the Sunol Glen Unified School District will not allow immigration enforcement agents access to school grounds without a valid warrant, share student or family information with immigration authorities unless required by law, [or] discriminate against any student or family based on immigration status." The resolutions passed by voice vote.
Why it matters: The actions formalize district commitments to protecting immigrant families, to inclusion and to policy alignment; trustees said the resolutions also support efforts to address attendance and anxiety among families concerned about enforcement actions.
