Policy for 1st reading
The board discussed policy KNA Immigration Enforcement on District Property for first reading. The board will be asked to adopt this policy at its September meeting. Dr. Kubista said that an administrative rule will provide more clarity around procedures at each building. She stressed that immigration enforcement agents have not been on district property at this point. This policy establishes communication (to staff, students, and families) and protocols in the situation that they come onto any district property, including parking lots owned by the district.
