Safe Haven Districts
After the election results came rolling in several school districts took it upon themselves to issue resolutions declaring themselves "sanctuaries" for undocumented students, staff, and their families amid rising fears of deportation under the new federal administration. Multiple districts already had policies in place and simply reissued their promises. Additionally, in December 2016, State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson issued a letter to County and District Superintendents, Charter School Administrators, and Principals calling for them to declare their districts and schools "safe havens."
Below we have compiled a list of school districts who have passed such resolutions, and we will continue to add more as more resolutions are passed. If we have missed your district or if you would like to correct any information, please email feedback@calschoolnews.org and we will include it.
