Every child in California has the right to a free public education, regardless of immigration status or religious beliefs. The California Attorney General publishes a guide for students and families that explains these rights and what schools may and may not do if immigration enforcement comes to a school.

ECS follows its Student and Family Privacy Rights Policy (board approved April 2026), which is based on the Attorney General’s model policies. ECS does not release student or family information for immigration enforcement purposes except as required by law or a court order. Printed copies of the guide are available at every school office. Questions: contact your school’s main office or Sarah Jamieson, Custodian of Records, at sarah_jamieson@ecsonline.org.
