A “safe haven” resolution that states the Fairfield-Suisun School District “embraces the diversity of our students and families and the rich language and cultural assets they bring,” goes before trustees when they meet Thursday.

Students and parents have expressed fear about the ability of federal Office of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to enter school district property to determine the legal status of students and their families, the resolution reads in part.

Kris Corey, superintendent of the Fairfield-Suisun School District, has said in a report to trustees that California Superintendent of Schools Tom Torlakson on Dec. 21 encouraged all of the state’s public schools to be declared safe havens.
