Resources for schools and districts on immigration and future issues

Rumors, trauma and fear of deportation can have a profound impact in our students’ wellbeing. Recognizing the unique role that schools play for immigrant children and their families, LACOE’s Immigrant Relations aims to:

• Empower school districts, parents & students
• Provide timely information & response to needs around immigration laws and policies
• Facilitate Navigation of services for Immigrant communities
• Ensure School Compliance to policies that protect students and families (AB 699, FERPA, AB 2121, and others)
