Our Commitment to a Safe and Welcoming Environment

Monrovia Unified School District believes that every student deserves a high-quality education in an environment where they feel safe, respected, and supported. Our schools are sanctuaries of learning, and we are committed to protecting the rights and privacy of all students, staff, and families, regardless of their citizenship or immigration status.

Board Policy 1445: Response to Immigration Enforcement

On February 25, 2026, the Board of Education ratified Board Policy 1445. This policy outlines the district’s protocols regarding interactions with immigration enforcement agencies to ensure our campuses remain focused on our primary mission: student success.

Key protections of BP 1445 include the following:

  • Privacy First: The district will not solicit or collect information regarding the immigration status of students or their families unless required by law.

  • Data Security: Student and personnel records remain confidential and will not be disclosed to enforcement agencies without a valid judicial warrant or court order.

  • Campus Access: Clear procedures are in place regarding requests for access to district facilities, school buses, or activities by enforcement officers.

  • Equity and Inclusion: No student will be denied equal rights or subjected to harassment based on their actual or perceived immigration status.

Important Resources for Our Families

We understand that families may have questions regarding their rights. In accordance with California Education Code 234.7, MUSD provides information to ensure all families know that their children have a right to a free public education, regardless of religious beliefs or immigration status.
