A Message of Belonging

Last night, the Board of Education unanimously approved a proclamation reaffirming our district’s commitment to a safe, healthy, and inclusive learning environment where every student, staff member, and family feels they belong.  The provisions within this proclamation ensure that:

  • The District does not record or track the citizenship or naturalization status of any student;

  • Federal laws are strictly followed to ensure no immigration-related information is disclosed without proper legal authorization;

  • Clear protocols and a defined chain of command are in place should law enforcement or outside agencies request access to a student or their data;

  • The rights of every individual to privacy, education, and protection from discrimination or harassment are fully upheld.

This proclamation reinforces the values and systems already in place within our school community.  We want to be clear that our primary commitment, now and always, is to guarantee that East Prairie remains a safe, protective, and welcoming environment for every student and family, without exception.  Please do not hesitate to reach out to any member of your child’s school team if there is anything we can do to further ensure their safety and well-being.
