Mt. Angel School District Immigration Protocols

The district is dedicated to being a place where every student thrives, ensuring that schools are safe havens where students and families feel a sense of belonging and security. Under Oregon’s “Sanctuary Laws,” no public resources may be used to assist with federal immigration enforcement actions, and such actions must not occur on school district property. Everyone—students, staff, families, and community members—deserves to feel welcome and safe when accessing our campuses. By following current federal and state laws, the district remains committed to providing a supportive environment for every learner.
