Buckingham County Public Schools (BCPS) remains committed to providing a secure and structured learning environment for all students. While national conversations about immigration policies continue, our school division's policies and procedures have not changed.
At BCPS, we uphold the law, ensuring that all students receive an education, as required by the Supreme Court’s 1982 ruling. Our primary responsibility is to focus on education and the well-being of our students, allowing them to learn without unnecessary disruption.
Key Points:
• BCPS follows all federal and state laws regarding student access to education.
• Schools do not inquire about immigration status and do not share confidential student records without legal justification.
• BCPS will continue to cooperate with law enforcement agencies while ensuring adherence to due process and legal protections.
• Any requests for law enforcement access to school facilities, including from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), will be carefully reviewed to ensure compliance with established legal procedures.
Our role as a school division is to educate and prepare students for success. BCPS remains dedicated to upholding the law, maintaining order, and ensuring that our schools remain a safe, productive place for learning.
