4310 Procedure - District Relationships with Law Enforcement and Other Government Agencies

If the district engages with a school resource officer (SRO), the district will clarify its relationship with the SRO, including the SRO’s purpose, role, supervisory structure, and limitations on access to student information in a written memorandum of understanding (MOU).

In contrast to the working relationships noted in policy, the work of immigration agents does not overlap with the work or duties of the district. This is because the district’s obligation to educate the children residing within its borders is not diminished by the children or parents’ immigration status. Further, the district supports the federal immigration enforcement policy that directs immigration agents to avoid questioning and arrests at sensitive locations, including schools. Therefore, staff shall not grant information or access to immigration agents unless/until the district Superintendent and/or General Counsel determine the request complies with Plyler v. Doe and other applicable laws according to the criteria in 3226P Interviews and Interrogations of Students on School Premises.
