Board seeks explicit judicial‑authorization language for interactions with immigration authorities

Philomath SD 17J Board · September 9, 2026

Summary

Members recommended clarifying AR language to require that immigration enforcement agents have a subpoena, warrant or court order before taking action on campus or bus routes, and discussed designating the superintendent (or designee) as the immigration liaison.

Committee member (S1) asked that the draft AR explicitly require immigration enforcement to have judicial authorization before entering campus or taking enforcement action, proposing language such as 'absent a judicially authorized warrant, subpoena or court order, do not allow.' S1 asked that the AR identify the superintendent or a designated official as the immigration liaison so responsibilities are clear.

S2 agreed that the bracketed template language about enforcement required revision and suggested the board phrase the opening sentence to allow the superintendent to delegate the liaison role to another staff member. The committee did not adopt final wording and asked staff to return with a clarified AR.
