How can California schools protect the rights of immigrant students?

This podcast draws on a document that provides from California's Attorney General, a comprehensive overview of the "School Guidance Model K12.pdf," which focuses on the legal rights of immigrant students and their families in California public schools, as well as providing guidance and model policies for schools to adopt in order to ensure a safe and welcoming learning environment. The guidance document titled "School Guidance Model K12.pdf" was issued by the California Attorney General, Rob Bonta, in December 2024.

The document covers student enrollment, data privacy, interactions with immigration enforcement, responses to family detentions, and measures to prevent and address bullying and hate crimes.

The document provides a framework of model policies, legal guidelines, and best practices for local educational agencies.
