Dear West Point School Board,
I am writing to express my strong support for the adoption of a Safe Zone resolution and district policy in the West Point school system. Every child deserves to feel safe and supported while pursuing their education, and this policy will ensure that our schools remain welcoming spaces for all students, regardless of immigration status. You can find the model resolution, as well as a district policy, for your review here: https://www.nea.org/sites/default/files/2025-01/sample-safe-zone-resolution-and-model-policy-web.pdf
Safe Zone policies have been successfully implemented across the country, protecting the integrity of schools as places of learning. By adopting this resolution, the West Point School Board can send a clear message that our community values safety, inclusion, and the right to education for every child.
This policy is not only the right thing to do—it’s legally sound and does not interfere with federal law enforcement. Instead, it provides clear guidelines for handling immigration enforcement while prioritizing student safety and well-being.
I urge you to support this resolution and defend the values that make West Point strong. Please let me know how I can help you achieve this critical policy and when I can expect to see it on the agenda at an upcoming school board meeting.
Thank you for your leadership and commitment to our community.
