Know Your Rights & Best Practices for K-12 Educators

This training is intended for those working in Massachusetts K-12 schools, including teachers, counselors, administrators. It will cover basic Know Your Rights information, rights in interactions with immigration enforcement, family preparedness, and where to get legal help. We will review guidance to K-12 schools issued by the Massachusetts Attorney General’s Office and review best practices with regard to data sharing, responding to ICE presence or requests for information, and navigating conversations with immigrant students and their families. Finally, we will share information about eligibility for in-state tuition and state financial aid for immigrant students.
