Bill > HCR20

This joint resolution urges Delaware schools and school districts to establish clear policies regarding immigration enforcement that prioritize student safety and data privacy. The resolution calls for school policies that require all requests from civil immigration enforcement to be directed to the superintendent, mandate a judicial warrant for immigration authorities to access school premises, and prohibit school staff from inquiring about or sharing students' immigration status without written parental permission. The resolution emphasizes that Delaware's public education system has an obligation to support all students, regardless of their immigration status, and aims to create a safe, welcoming environment where students feel secure. Additionally, the resolution encourages the Department of Education to develop model policies that provide guidance to local educators and reinforce the state's commitment to protecting students. The underlying goal is to ensure that schools remain spaces of learning and support, free from immigration enforcement activities that might intimidate or disrupt students' educational experiences.
