Shoreline Schools welcomes and supports students and families of all backgrounds. We do not ask about, record, or share anyone’s immigration status. We have policies and practices in place to prevent unauthorized access to our school(s).

What we do

• Provide a welcoming, safe learning environment for all students.

• Protect student and family information as required by law.

• Ask families to keep emergency contacts up to date.

• Direct families to community immigration-related resources, listed below.

What we don’t do

• We do not ask about immigration status.

• We do not share personal information for immigration enforcement.

• We do not allow immigration agents access to students, staff, or records without a valid court order.

• We do not use district resources to support immigration enforcement.

If immigration officials come to a school, staff will follow district policy: they must be referred to the principal, who will refer the matter to the Superintendent’s office and legal counsel before any action is taken. Policy 4300, Limiting Immigration Enforcement in Schools and Policy 3226, Interviews and Interrogations of Students on School Premises
