The Olathe School District in the Kansas City metro area is addressing parents’ concerns about immigration enforcement after President Trump’s recent crackdown. While some districts are reassuring parents that schools are safe, the Trump administration’s decision to allow immigration agencies to make arrests at sensitive locations like schools has caused anxiety among immigrant families. The Olathe School District sent a letter to parents and staff, stating they are actively reviewing the changes and waiting for guidance from the Kansas Department of Education. The district emphasized that the safety and well-being of students are their top priority during this uncertain time. Many schools nationwide are fielding calls from worried parents about potential immigration raids, although it is unclear if these fears will materialize. The recent policy change allowing arrests at schools has raised concerns about the future of immigrant families in the United States. With over 733,000 school-aged children in the U.S. illegally, the impact of these changes on families is significant.
