Schools prepare for potential disruptions over fears of mass deportations in the U.S

Schools across the U.S. are preparing for potential disruptions amid fears of mass deportations under President-elect Donald Trump. Educators recall past incidents where rumors of immigration raids caused students to avoid school, leading to heightened anxiety among immigrant families. Despite a policy that protects schools from immigration enforcement, concerns remain. Trump's administration may rescind this guidance, prompting school officials to train staff on how to handle potential immigration agents on campus. Many superintendents are hesitant to discuss their plans publicly. Some districts are proactively supporting immigrant families by providing legal resources and ensuring students feel safe. School leaders emphasize the importance of maintaining a welcoming environment for all students, regardless of their immigration status.
