Martinez Unified School District

Immigration-Enforcement Actions at California Schools – Guide for Students and Families

The Martinez Unified School District is committed to the success of all students irrespective of their immigration status, ethnicity, race, religion, sexual orientation, ability, sex and gender identity, socio-economic status or beliefs.

Every child has the right to a free public education.

Our schools take the following safety measures to protect students:

Information Required for School Enrollment: Schools must accept a variety of documents from the student’s parent or guardian to demonstrate proof of child’s age or residency and schools are not required to keep a copy of the document used as proof of a child’s age.
Confidentiality of Personal Information: Schools must maintain the confidentiality of student records and personal information. Any request to release such information must comply with applicable laws and requires parental or guardian consent, a court order, a subpoena, or a warrant.
Responding to Immigration Enforcement Requests: In the highly unlikely case that an immigration agent seeks access to school grounds, they are required to provide proper identification and a warrant or a court order per Assembly Bill 49. Staff are not authorized to permit access without prior approval from the Superintendent or their designee. If approached by immigration agents, immediately contact your site administrator, who will follow the procedures outlined in Board Policy and Administrative Regulation 1445.

The complete Guide for Students and Families is available in English and Spanish.

Martinez Unified School District remains unequivocally committed to ensuring a safe educational environment for all students and seving as a safe haven school district for students and families threatened by immigration enforcement or discrimination.
