The Hamilton County Principals Association is opposing a bill that would give Tennessee school districts the authority to ban students who are in the country illegally.
The association said Wednesday it is asking the Hamilton County School Board to pass a resolution that says it will give all Hamilton County children access to school.
“As educators, our mission is clear: we are dedicated to creating safe, welcoming, and inclusive environments where all students can thrive,” the association said. “Efforts to exclude children from school due to their immigration status undermine this mission, threaten the well-being of vulnerable communities, and harm the future of our nation.”
