Dear Chelsea Public Schools Families,

In Chelsea Public Schools we will always welcome and educate all. We are committed to providing a safe learning environment where all individuals feel belonged at school and are treated with kindness and respect.  We believe that our diversity and inclusivity is our strength. Everyone belongs at Chelsea Public Schools.

When it comes to our students or families’ immigration status, please know that CPS maintains the following protections:

• We will not release information contained in pupil records to federal agencies without the permission of the student’s parent or guardian or pursuant to judicial warrant, subpoena, court order or as otherwise required by law.

• Requests to enter Chelsea Public Schools by any immigration enforcement office shall immediately be forwarded to the Superintendent’s Office for review to ensure the safety and confidentiality of all students, as well as compliance with applicable state and federal laws. 

We felt it was important to reaffirm these procedures with our community. We will adhere to these procedures in any future interactions with federal agencies or immigration enforcement officers should they arise.

Per our usual protocol, students are dismissed only to people authorized by parents/guardians. Please ensure your student's information is up to date. You can update it by contacting your student’s school.

Principals and school-based staff have received detailed guidance on protecting students’ rights.

We are committed to providing safe and supportive environments at our schools where every student in Chelsea can succeed. If you have further questions, please speak with your student’s school.

Sincerely,

Dr. Almi G. Abeyta

Superintendent
