Schools and colleges that receive federal funding would be prohibited from sharing student records or personal information with immigration enforcement agencies. This would protect students and families from having their educational data used to identify or locate people for deportation purposes. The measure aims to keep schools as safe spaces where families feel comfortable enrolling children without fear that their information will be turned over to immigration authorities.
