Community Support
Supporting Our Immigrant Families and Students
Grandview School District Families,
We want to address the recent federal announcements that may impact our community. The recent federal changes to immigration enforcement policies, including the removal of protections for sensitive locations such as schools, have understandably raised concerns among students and families.
At Grandview School District, the safety and well-being of our students, staff, and families remain our top priority. We want to reaffirm our district’s unwavering commitment to maintaining safe and welcoming schools for everyone, regardless of immigration status.
Although we await further clarification before we are able to update Policy 4300-Limiting Immigration Enforcement in Schools which outlined our district’s previous procedures, please click here to see our Frequently Asked Questions Page, which is current.
Key points to note in Policy 4300:
● Staff Awareness: All schools’ office staff have been informed and trained on the
procedures outlined in Board Policy 4300 to address immigration enforcement inquiries appropriately.
● Safe Environments: Our district is steadfast in our dedication to creating a secure and supportive environment where every student and family feels respected and valued.Every school in our district is completely enclosed with a single point of entry. Every non-district employee must be given permission to enter a school, be buzzed in, and they must report to the office. This safety protocol applies to everyone.
● Commitment to Families: We will continue to prioritize the safety and educational
success of all students, regardless of their background or status.
If you or your family have questions or need additional support, please don’t hesitate to reach out to your school administrator or the district office. Together, we can ensure that our schools remain a place of learning and belonging for all.
Thank you for your partnership and trust as we navigate these challenging times together.
United,
Dr. Rob Darling
