ICE/IMMIGRATION POLICY:
The Connecticut State Department of Education guidance is “designed to ensure compliance with state and federal laws” and advises schools that the state has no obligation to collect or maintain data on students' immigration status because the Supreme Court has ruled that students have a right to attend public schools regardless of their immigration status.
