Plain‑English summary, cross‑checked against the official bill text.

This bill would stop schools from sharing student information with immigration officers unless there's a court order or parent's OK, protecting kids' privacy.

Our take

What we think, in plain words.

This bill is important because it would help keep kids' personal school information safe from being shared with immigration officers without good reason. If this bill passes, parents would have more say over who sees their child's records. It would also make sure schools have a clear plan for how to talk with immigration officers. Some might say this bill makes it harder for immigration officers to do their job, but others believe protecting student privacy is more important.
