With the recent changes in immigration, the amount of fear and anxiety surrounding immigrant families is at an all-time high. As a result, families are afraid to send their children to school due to concerns about immigration enforcement, leading to significant disruptions in the education and well-being of their children.
As the new school year begins, Los Angeles Unified, alongside leaders from cities across the District, is taking measures to keep schools safe and supportive for children and their families.
The District is reportedly working closely with the Los Angeles School Police Department and local law enforcement to improve communication and maintain peace on school campuses.
Superintendent Alberto M. Carvalho stated, “Schools are safe spaces and immigration enforcement near schools disrupts learning and creates anxiety that can last far beyond the school day.” He also noted that, “children have been through enough, from the pandemic to natural disasters. They should not have to carry the added weight of fear when walking through their school gates.”
Additional implementations taken by the Los Angeles Unified include the following:
These measures have been implemented to ensure that students, families, and everyone within school walls feel safe in and out of the classroom.
The District is reportedly implementing new rules in the Spring to keep immigrant students safe at school. However, new measures have already been enforced, starting this week. Some of these include:
Recent changes in immigration have left students and their families with fear, worry, and anxiety. These families are deeply concerned about the future safety of their children at school. Students are afraid to attend school, which is significantly impacting their ability to learn and retain information effectively. Fear of immigration enforcement also prevents families from sending their children to school with ease. Families are unaware of what can happen while they are not present; therefore, parents are anxious about leaving their children during these uncertain times.
