The attached Model Campus Safe Zones Resolution language was developed for K-12 school districts that are contemplating adopting protections for their immigrant students. ACLU recommends that any resolution contain language to address these critical issues: limiting the sharing of student and family information with federal immigration authorities; restricting immigration agents' access to campuses; prohibiting campus security from collaborating with federal immigration authorities; and providing resources and information for immigrant students and their families. The model resolution provides sample language for these issues.
