Board holds first reading of state-mandated immigration-enforcement policy
Summary
The board reviewed first readings of KNA-AR1 and KNA-AR2 (immigration-enforcement procedures) using OSBA-recommended language required by the Oregon legislature by Sept. 30; discussion focused on optional bracketed provisions, naming a designated immigration liaison and interpreter/training requirements.
Board members conducted the first reading of KNA-AR1 and KNA-AR2, the district's administrative rules on immigration enforcement that the Oregon legislature mandated districts adopt by Sept. 30. Members said the draft follows the Oregon School Boards Association's recommended language and includes bracketed (optional) sections for local choices; the chair noted that many districts are using the OSBA template.
Discussion centered on selecting a designated school immigration liaison (and a backup), training requirements for the liaison and interpreters, and whether building administrators should serve as the designated liaison to ensure coverage. Members agreed to review bracketed language and return for a second reading and adoption at the next meeting cycle, with necessary decisions about who will hold the liaison role and how training will be documented.
