Parent asks Greene County board to adopt NEA 'Safe Zone' policy for students
Summary
Cynthia Ward, a Greene County parent, urged the school board to adopt the NEA-recommended Safe Zone policy required by a recent Virginia law, to limit immigration-enforcement actions on school property and protect student data.
Cynthia Ward, who identified herself as a parent and Greene County resident, urged the board to adopt the NEA-recommended Safe Zone policy and said she had emailed the board a proposed resolution and policy language.
"I strongly encourage Greene County school districts to immediately adopt the NEA recommended safe zone policy," Ward said, summarizing provisions that prohibit collection of student immigration information by enforcement agents, instruct staff to contact the superintendent if ICE/CBP arrive, and to follow judicial warrants while contesting administrative warrants as allowable. She referenced a recent Virginia law that requires school boards to adopt an immigration-and-enforcement policy by Dec. 31. The board thanked her for the comment and said any follow-up would be coordinated via the clerk's office or by email.
