Parents ask Skokie D69 board to adopt policy opposing ICE enforcement
Summary
Multiple parents and a district teacher urged the Board on Dec. 16 to adopt a policy or resolution limiting cooperation with immigration enforcement and to align district policy with the Village of Skokie's ordinance; the Board did not take formal action at the meeting.
During public comment on Dec. 16, parents and residents asked the Board to consider adopting a policy or resolution regarding immigration-enforcement actions. Parent Brianna Pizarek thanked the Board for recent communication to families and urged a resolution in solidarity with other governments. Teacher Haley Aichholzer and resident Michelle Underhill separately asked the Board to adopt a policy similar to District 219 or the Village of Skokie's ordinance. Karina Marin spoke on behalf of two unnamed District 69 parents and also asked for a resolution.
Superintendent Dr. Margaret Clauson reported the district had received two communications from a constituent (Maggie Vandermeer) seeking board policies and documents on ICE enforcement; the meeting record shows public comment only and no agenda item or Board vote on adopting a policy at this session.
