NYCPS and the Mayor's Office are committed to protecting the right of every student to attend public school, regardless of immigration status, national origin, or religion. The United States Supreme Court has also recognized the importance of public education for all students, including undocumented students.
We want you to know that the Department of Education:
Does not permit federal agents, including Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), to enter schools, except when absolutely required by law;
Does not track immigration status of students or family members, and will not release student information unless absolutely required by law; and
Will continue to ensure that all students get a quality education.
Public schools are at the center of our democracy, and New York City schools remain safe places for all students, families and educators.
