FRESNO COUNTY, Calif. (KSEE/KGPE) - Central Unified School Board Trustee Nabil Kherfan said it's not about immigration status; it's about creating a safe space where students feel comfortable learning.   "So, I don't care whether a student is a U.S. Citizen, or whether they're undocumented, or w hat their parents are," Kherfan said. "It is just important to me to make sure they get a good education and that they are safe in our school regardless of where they are." This is why Kherfan said he and two other trustees, Naindeep Singh and Yesenia Carillo, presented an updated "Safe Learning For All" policy during their latest board of trustees meeting. "So, back in January, when there were a lot of ICE sweeps in Kern and Fresno counties, there was a real fear and anxiety with our immigrant neighbors," Kherfan said. He said the fear that parents and students were feeling became noticeable. "We saw a decrease in employee attendance at farms, factories and other workplaces," Kherfan said.   During the March meeting, the updated policy was passed unanimously and included several key points. "One would be that if ICE were to come to a Central Unified School, we wouldn't just let anybody just walk into campus," he said. "We would need a warrant signed by a judge, and from there we would move them toward the district office so we can go through the proper channels." Kherfan said rapid response messages would be sent to students via the schools' Parent Square app. "We would send out a notification to all the parents in our district very soon after so that they can be aware of what's going on in our community and make plans accordingly," he said. Kherfan said their goal is that all students within their district feel protected. ...read more read less
