Immigrants Know Your Rights Tools from Disability Rights
Take ACTION Preserve IDEA and Support Individuals with Disabilities
Law enforcement, immigration (“I.C.E”), and government officials are required by law to provide people with disabilities reasonable accommodations. This Know Your Accommodations Rights card was created to help people with disabilities exercise these rights. The card is designed to help to communicate that you have a disability and need an accommodation. The accommodation(s) could be for the purpose of interacting, engaging, speaking, communicating, understanding, hearing, seeing, reading, and/or following instructions, in the event they are stopped, questioned, detained, and/or arrested by the police, immigration, or any state or federal government official conducting an investigation. The purpose of this card is to know your rights and inform police, immigration, or government officials that they must provide you with an accommodation if they want to interact with you. Learn More

Reaffirming SFUSD's Commitment to Serving our Diverse Communities
Protecting Students’ Rights and Special Education Services
What Happened:
The U.S. Department of Education has laid off most staff from the Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) and related divisions. These cuts dismantle key federal protections ensuring students with disabilities receive a Free and Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) under IDEA.
Why It Matters:
OSEP enforces special education law, supports teacher training, funds family support programs, and monitors compliance nationwide. With over 95% of staff gone, oversight and accountability are at serious risk—potentially impacting millions of children.
