Sacramento, CA - Since 2017, SCUSD has proudly called itself a Safe Haven School District – a title that reflects our unwavering commitment to the education and well-being of all students no matter their immigration status, sexual orientation, ethnicity, race, religion, ability, sex and gender identity, socio-economic status or beliefs.

On Wednesday, January 29, members of the board of education will be joined by representatives of several community-based organizations to reaffirm that commitment in the face of changes to federal immigration enforcement that have caused fear and panic within the Sacramento community.

“We must stand in solidarity with our immigrant friends and neighbors and send a clear message that immigration enforcement is not allowed on our campuses unless a valid court order is presented,” said Jasjit Singh, President of the SCUSD Board of Education. “Our students and their families should be focused on education and creating better opportunities for themselves, not living in fear of deportation and separation.”
