A response from Denver education community to President Trump?s executive orders on immigration.
We stand together ? as a school district, educators, students and families ? to oppose the actions President Trump has taken through his executive orders today, Jan. 26, 2017. Immigrant and refugee students, families, educators and staff are precious members of the Denver school communities and we greatly value them for the contributions they make to our schools and communities.
We will do everything in our individual and collective power to protect them from deportation, criminalization, intimidation and harassment.
