Executive Summary In the wake of recent policy changes by the federal administration, charter schools in California are experiencing increased student anxiety, increases in student absences, and declines in parent participation in school ac- tivities. Many CCSA member schools are seeking guidance on the best ways to address these concerns and ensure that all students continue to receive the highest quality edu- cation. This guidance provides member schools with information about their legal obligations in providing education to undoc- umented students and actions that schools can take to fully protect the right to educa- tion of both undocumented children and children with undocumented parents. It ad- dresses four areas: policies to facilitate en- rollment of undocumented children and children living with caretakers who might be undocumented; practices to ensure proper compliance with federal privacy laws to pro- tect all students’ sensitive data; policies for regulating law enforcement access to stu- dents at schools; and practices that schools can adopt to help parents and students in the event that a caretaker is arrested, de- tained, or otherwise unavailable.
