AN ACT CONCERNING INTERACTIONS BETWEEN SCHOOL PERSONNEL AND IMMIGRATION AUTHORITIES, THE PURCHASE AND OPERATION OF CERTAIN DRONES, GRANTS TO CERTAIN NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS, AND STUDENT ATHLETE COMPENSATION THROUGH ENDORSEMENT CONTRACTS AND REVENUE SHARING AGREEMENTS.
HB 7066 requires all Connecticut public schools to establish clear protocols for interactions between school staff and federal immigration authorities. It mandates that each school designate at least one administrator to handle such interactions, based on new Department of Education guidance. Key provisions include requiring staff to request immigration officials' identification, verify warrants, review warrant details, and consult legal counsel before sharing information. The bill also prohibits schools from disciplining staff who follow these protocols during immigration-related requests.
