Public Schools and Undocumented Children - USDOJ/USDOE

Post date: May 13, 2014 3:35:40 PM

The U.S. Department of Justice has posted additional guidance for public elementary and secondary schools (it is not new but sometimes people forget):

Under federal law, all children in the United States are entitled to a public elementary and secondary education regardless of their race, color, national origin, citizenship, or immigration status or the status of their parents/guardians. On May 8, 2014, the Department of Justice and the Department of Education issued an updated set of guidance documents to all public school districts reminding them of their obligation under federal law to provide equal educational opportunities to all children residing in their districts, and to offer assistance to ensure they are complying with the law.
