WHEREAS, the Reynolds School District Board is committed to the success of each and every student in all Reynolds schools and programs.
WHEREAS, the mission of Reynolds School District is "We lead with equity to educate and support all students to graduate with the skills and confidence to thrive.”

Adequate notice must be given so that steps can be taken to provide for the emotional and physical safety of students and staff.
BE IT RESOLVED, that the Superintendent or designee is authorized to ask for the Immigration and Custom Enforcement agent's credentials, ask why they are requesting access, and request legal validity of the summons.
BE IT RESOLVED, that Immigration and Custom Enforcement officers must provide written authority from the office of Immigration and Customs Enforcement that directs its officers to enter District property and confirms their intent.
BE IT RESOLVED, that Reynolds School District staff shall not disclose the personal information of any Reynolds School District student pursuant to Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and relevant law, or ask about a student's immigration status or that of the student's family members in accordance with Oregon’s Sanctuary Promise laws.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that within the next 90 days, the Superintendent shall develop a plan for teachers, administrators, and other staff on how to respond to Immigration and Customs Enforcement personnel who are requesting information about Reynolds students and families and/or are attempting to enter Reynolds property.
