    Key Takeaways

    • Requires schools to post immigration rights guides in administrative buildings and on school websites.
    • Mandates reporting of immigration enforcement requests while protecting student privacy.
    • Requires schools to educate students about bullying based on immigration status or religious beliefs.

    Summary

    Assembly Member Connolly's educational equity legislation requires California school districts to prominently display immigration enforcement guidelines in administrative buildings and on school websites. The measure amends existing state law that prohibits schools from collecting immigration status information about students or their families.

    Under the bill, local educational agencies must post the Attorney General's "Know Your Educational Rights" guide, which outlines students' right to public education regardless of immigration status. The guide must be made available in all languages provided by the Attorney General's office. School superintendents and principals must also report any immigration enforcement-related requests for information or campus access to their governing boards while maintaining confidentiality of potentially identifying details.

    The legislation maintains current provisions directing schools to exhaust emergency contact options provided by parents before involving Child Protective Services when guardians are unavailable. It preserves existing requirements for schools to educate students about bullying based on immigration status or religious beliefs. Local educational agencies retain authority to establish protections beyond those mandated in the bill.
