Dear Parents and Guardians of the Washington Unified School District,
At the February 16, 2017 Board Meeting, the Board of Education took action to approve
Resolution #1617-21
in support of a safe haven for all students in the Washington Unified School District. The resolution begins with the District’s commitment to the success of all students irrespective of immigration status, ethnicity, race, religion, sexual orientation, ability, sex and gender identity, socio-economic status or beliefs.
Providing a safe educational environment for all our students is our top priority each and every day. Particularly this Monday, May 1, 2017, we want you to know that the Washington Unified School District stands in support of your student which includes serving as a safe haven for students and families threatened by immigration enforcement or discrimination.
Cities across the United States are planning walk-outs from work and school on Monday, May 1, 2017, to support immigrant rights and reform to their working conditions. I ask you to please bring your student to school where we welcome and embrace the rich diversity of our students and families.
We will be present on Monday morning to greet and welcome our students and families. Thank you for your partnership with Washington Unified and the privilege of educating your student.
Sincerest regards,
Linda C. Luna
Superintendent
