We strive to create positive, safe and inclusive learning environments for the children and families in our care. We prohibit discrimination and harassment on any basis protected by law, including sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin and disability (Policy AC).

We do not collect information about immigration status, and we are prohibited from using employee time or other public resources for the purpose of immigration enforcement.

• We focus on attaining outcomes that are not predicted by factors such as race, ethnicity, language, country of origin, gender expression, sexual orientation, disability and other forms of identity. (Policy ADA)
• We prohibit the use of any symbols of hate on our grounds or in any sponsored program, service, school or activity. (Policy ACB)
• For any program, service or facility connected to our agency, no student will be denied access or excluded from participation. (Policy JB)
• All students have the right to a safe learning environment. Harassment, bullying and all forms of violence are strictly prohibited and our staff must report violations. (Policy JFCF)
• Law enforcement must contact building administration before questioning a student during school hours. A student will only be released to an officer if there is a warrant, court order, arrest, protective custody or permission of the parent/guardian. (Policy KN and KN-AR)
• RESOLUTION #25-004 Protections for Students at School Regardless of Immigration Status: All staff in our facilities must refer immigration officials to our superintendent or chief human resources officer.

When children or families receive services outside of our facilities or schools, families should know that everyone, regardless of immigration status, has certain rights and protections under the U.S. constitution. Our staff cannot intervene when federal law enforcement carries out duties, but we can provide families and child care providers with information.
