We have a moral obligation to protect undocumented families by adopting strong “Safe Schools” policies that limit immigration-enforcement access, require judicial warrants, and ensure staff follow strict FERPA privacy rules. Strengthening visitor procedures, providing multilingual communication, offering “know your rights” information, and training staff to respond appropriately all help keep families safe. This matters in Ogden because many students come from immigrant households, and reducing fear and uncertainty creates a stable environment where every child can focus on learning and feel secure at school.

• Continue the District's Safe-School Resolution which includes not collecting data on immigration status of our students, requiring that any requests by federal immigration agents for access to school grounds or students are only granted by valid judicial warrant, requiring this resolution to be posted publicly and communicated to staff and families in multiple languages.

• Establish a protocol: when immigration agents come to campus, staff should request valid identification, verify legal documentation, and immediately notify the district's legal office.

• Provide counseling and mental health resources for students who may be experiencing anxiety or fear around immigration enforcement.

• Partner with local immigrant rights organizations, legal aid clinics, and advocacy groups so families know who to turn to for help.

• Establish a legal liaison role in the district whose job it is to handle and review any immigration enforcement requests, coordinate with attorneys, and guide communication with families.

• Use the board's platform to push for statewide policies or legislation that further protect immigrant students and protect LGBTQ+ students.
