School board debates immigration resolution

The Placentia-Yorba Linda USD board recently faced significant opposition regarding a proposed resolution supporting federal law enforcement, including ICE. Trustee Leandra Blades argued for the resolution, stating, “The resolution is not just discussing ICE, it’s talking about federal, state and local law enforcement because all of them come onto our campuses.” However, the board majority opted for a revised version that emphasized “respectful dialog and transparency” without federal references. The board also discussed updates to policies on immigration enforcement, aiming to enhance protections for students and families while ensuring compliance with legal requirements.
