Carvalho previously said school officials would resist federal operations without a judicial warrant.
An official of the Los Angeles Unified School District says that thousands of students are not showing up for school out of fear of deportation operations.
LAUSD Superintendent Alberto Carvalho said in a statement that enrollment decreased by 4% compared to last year.
‘We will continue to stand firmly with our immigrant communities and protect every student’s right to a welcoming, stable, and supportive education.’
As the district serves about 429,000 students, a 4% drop signifies more than 17,000 students.
“These declines reflect a climate of fear and instability created by ongoing immigration crackdowns, which disrupt family stability, housing, and mobility,” reads a statement from Carvalho.
If they fear deportation – maybe their fear is valid…
Get the list of names and addresses….
How about self-deporting. Illegal freebies are being slashed (Thank goodness.)
If they are illegal, they shouldn’t be in our schools to begin with.
would like to see the numbers for wicomico, why are we citizens having to pay (be robbed of) of our money to educate illegals?
If they are not illegal then what do they have to worry about?
And touching on some of the other comments, all schools get funding from the Federal Government so why hasn’t President Trump and DOGE putting a stop to this.
“Wicomico County Public Schools (WCPS) supports students speaking over 20 different languages, with Spanish being prominent, requiring significant resources like ESOL teachers and interpreters to assist their growing population of multilingual learners. While the exact total fluctuates with student demographics, the district actively provides support for numerous home languages beyond just Spanish, showing high linguistic diversity. ” I was told by a former Schools Superintendent that the number is significantly much more higher than the “20” that was reported. Time to speak up, people. I spoke up and that is how I got the number.
A Comment Worthy Of A Post
Wicomico County Public Schools (WCPS) supports students speaking over 20 different languages, with Spanish being prominent, requiring significant resources like ESOL teachers and interpreters to assist their growing population of multilingual learners. While the exact total fluctuates with student demographics, the district actively provides support for numerous home languages beyond just Spanish, showing high linguistic diversity.
Why should Wicomico County taxpayers be responsible for paying for “significant resources” for these students/families that have never contributed anything to Wicomico County, the State of Maryland nor the United States. Holding taxpaying citizens hostage for these FREELOADERS has to STOP!!
