STAFF INFORMATIONAL

In the event you are approached by a federal officer requesting to speak to you regarding a student, colleague, or member of the community. stop and immediately call your school administrator. It is against the law to share student information. Do not sign anything, and do not accept any documents. School administrators have been trained to contact district administrators to determine if the district has the legal obligation to share information.

red cards

All people in the United States, regardless of immigration status, have certain rights and protections under the U.S. Constitution. Red Cards help people assert their rights and defend themselves in many situations, such as when ICE agents go to a home.
 

Using your red card: 

 
It is recommended that you do not try to speak to an immigration agent if they try to speak to you. Do not open the door if there is an agent knocking at your door. Instead, give your red card to the agent without opening your door, either under the door or through the window.
