NCS All Updates

Immigration Resources

Natomas Charter School is proud to serve students in one of the most diverse school districts in the nation. This includes students who may be undocumented or are part of families with mixed immigration status. California law and the Plyler v. Doe (1982) Supreme Court decision affirms that all children have the right to a free public education, regardless of immigration status. In light of the new Federal Executive Orders related to immigration, along with schools throughout our district, NCS continues to reiterate our commitment to serving all students in the community. Natomas Charter School does not collect nor maintain any information regarding a student’s immigration status. This week the Governor’s Office established a website that provides immigration-related resources for families throughout the state.
