Dear LCMSD Parents and Families,
I am writing to share important information about two new California laws, Assembly Bill 49 (AB 49) and Senate Bill 98 (SB 98), recently signed by Governor Gavin Newsom. These laws directly impact our school communities and reinforce our commitment to keeping all students safe and secure.
Our schools have been, and will continue to be, safe havens for every child. These new laws strengthen that promise by providing specific protections for our students and families.
What These New Laws Mean for You and Your Child
- Schools are Protected Spaces:Under AB 49, a law known as the California Safe Haven Schools Act, school employees are prohibited from allowing immigration enforcement officers to enter a non-public area of our campuses without a valid judicial warrant or court order.This law ensures that unauthorized immigration enforcement activities cannot disrupt your child's education or cause fear within our schools.
- Families Will Be Notified:SB 98, or the Sending Alerts to Families in Education (SAFE) Act, requires our district to immediately notify all students, parents, and staff if we confirm that immigration enforcement agents are present on a school campus.This ensures you have timely and accurate information to make the best decisions for your family.
Our schools are committed to providing a welcoming, inclusive, and safe environment for all students to learn and thrive. We want to be very clear that every child has a right to a free public education in California, regardless of their or their family’s immigration status.
We will not share your child's personal information with immigration officials without a proper judicial warrant or court order.
For additional information about your child’s right to a public education and other resources, please visit the Marin County Office of Education website.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Sincerely,
Dr. Brett Geithman Superintendent
