Educators prepare for potential school disruptions as Trump promises mass deportations

Educators across the U.S. are preparing for potential disruptions as President-elect Donald Trump has promised mass deportations. Concerns are rising that fear of immigration raids will keep immigrant children from attending school, similar to past experiences during Trump's first term. Superintendents are taking proactive measures, such as training staff to deny entry to immigration agents. Some districts are also inviting immigration attorneys to help families plan for possible deportations. Many school officials are hesitant to discuss their strategies publicly due to the sensitive nature of the issue. Despite a policy that protects schools from immigration enforcement, there are fears that this could change under Trump's new administration. School districts emphasize the importance of ensuring all students feel safe and have access to education, regardless of their immigration status.
