AN ACT relating to education; prohibiting school districts, public schools and their employees from providing permission
Existing law requires the Attorney General to publish model policies for limiting, to the fullest extent possible and consistent with any applicable law, immigration enforcement at certain public places, including public schools. (NRS 228.208) Section 1 of this bill prohibits a school district, public school or any employee of a school district or public school, except pursuant to a lawful court order or warrant, from providing a United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer, or other federal official engaging in the investigation or enforcement of immigration laws: (1) permission to access the grounds, buildings or facilities of a school district or public school; or (2) the education records of or information about a pupil or the family or household of a pupil. Section 1 additionally applies the prohibition on the provision of the education records of or information about a pupil or the family or household of a pupil to a state or local law enforcement officer engaged in the investigation or enforcement of immigration laws. Section 1 provides that a violation of this prohibition subjects the person who violated the provision to disciplinary action by the school district or public school that employs the person.
