Recently, schools are welcoming more immigrant families from all over the world due to violence and natural disasters. This brief provides basic information about eligibility for education services for different immigrant populations, and practical suggestions for schools.  \nFamilies Fleeing Afghanistan  \n● There are several categories of legal status applied to Afghan families, depending on their circumstances: refugees, Special Immigrant Visa holders, and humanitarian parolees. Services available depend upon the legal status, so some families may receive resettlement services over several months, while others will receive only short-term resource referral and minimal support.  \n● Information about applying the McKinney-Vento Act to children and youth from Afghanistan is available here.  \n● McKinney-Vento information in Dari (Farsi) is available here.  \nDACA  \n● As of October 2022,  DACA remains on hold. While the hold continues, the Department of Homeland Security cannot process new DACA requests. DACA renewals will continue to be processed.  \n● People who have received DACA on or before July 16, 2021 retain their status and can apply for renewals.  \n● It is not advisable for DACA recipients to leave the country, as Customs and Border Patrol officerscan deny re-entry at their discretion.  \nTemporary Protected Status (TPS)  \n● TPS is temporary immigration relief for people from countries impacted by natural disasters, civil war, epidemics, or other emergencies.  \n● Currently designated countries for TPS include Afghanistan, Burma (Myanmar), Cameroon, El Salvador, Ethiopia, Haiti, Honduras, Nepal, Nicaragua, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, Syria, Ukraine, Venezuela, Yemen. See updated list here.  \n● More information about TPS is available here.  \nTip  \nShare information about immigration legal services in your area. Many youth and families are eligible for immigration relief other than DACA or TPS status, and time is of the essence. Immigrants are particularly vulnerable to fraud by unlicensed individuals posing as attorneys. Referrals to reputable legal services are extremely valuable.  \nJune 2023 – [https://schoolhouseconnection.org/immigrant-students-how-schools-can-help-updated-and-translated-brief/](https://schoolhouseconnection.org/immigrant-students-how-schools-can-help-updated-and-translated-brief/)  \n1. Eligibility for Education. Children and youth living in the United States have the right to attend public schools, regardless of their immigration status.1 In fact, schools cannot ask about a student’s or family’s immigration status or take other actions that could discourage students from seeking enrollment. Schools cannot require Social Security numbers or immigration or citizenship documentation. They also cannot contact ICE or other law enforcement officials about students or families who may be undocumented.  \nTip: As immigration rules and enforcement change, many undocumented parents and youth are afraid to come to school. Through school and district websites, social media, bulletin boards and other public information, make sure families and students know that all students are welcome in school, including immigrant students.
