A bill for an act relating to cooperation by public and private schools with federal immigration and customs enforcement officers.
This bill requires all Iowa public school districts, accredited private schools, charter schools, and innovation zone schools to cooperate with lawful requests from federal immigration and customs enforcement officers. It prohibits schools from adopting policies that discourage staff from assisting such officers or distributing communications indicating non-cooperation to students, parents, or employees. Violations could lead to loss of school accreditation (for public/private schools) or revocation of charter contracts (for charter schools), as determined by the state education department. The law specifically mandates that administrators must comply with these requirements and face disciplinary action if they violate them.
