Rights and Protections for Students, Parents and Persons in a Parental Relation related to School Enrollment and Immigration

The Williamsville Central School District shall publish the following Notice of Immigration Rights on the district’s website and printed calendar at the beginning of each school year:

Rights of and Protections for Students, Parents and Persons in a Parental Relation related to
School Enrollment and Immigration

In 1984, the United States Supreme Court ruled it is unconstitutional to deny undocumented children access to a free, public K-12 education. This ruling is still in place today and is the law. The Williamsville Central School District  is committed to ensuring students have equal access to education, regardless of immigration status, national origin, citizenship, or any other protected reason, and strictly complies with the Supreme Court’s decision.

The Williamsville Central School District takes all legally allowable steps to protect students while they are attending school. The school has strict protocols in place for handling requests from immigration officials for (1) information about students; (2) cooperation with immigration enforcement activities; and (3) requests for a student to be released to immigration authorities.

Parents and persons in a parental relationship should make sure the Williamsville Central School District has updated emergency contact information, including a list of all individuals authorized to pick your child up from school, in the event you are unavailable to do so.
