Elementary, secondary, and postsecondary education: immigration enforcement: notification.

Senator Pérez's education safety measure requires California schools and colleges to notify parents, staff, and campus communities when immigration enforcement activities occur on their grounds, while maintaining strict protections for personal information. The legislation mandates that K-12 schools incorporate specific notification procedures into their comprehensive safety plans by March 2026, requiring administrators to inform families and personnel when enforcement presence is confirmed on school property.

The bill extends these requirements to charter schools, making notification protocols a mandatory component of charter petitions. Schools must carefully consider student privacy and wellbeing when determining the timing and content of notifications, which cannot include personally identifiable information. The measure also provides families with educational rights resources and counseling support services.

For higher education institutions, including the California State University system, community colleges, and qualifying independent institutions, the legislation requires campus-wide alerts when immigration enforcement is confirmed. These notifications must include the date, time, location, and links to additional resources while protecting individual privacy. The University of California is requested to implement similar protocols.

The provisions remain in effect until January 2031, with state-mandated cost reimbursements available to local educational agencies. The bill's urgency clause enables immediate implementation to maintain campus safety and security.
