Los Angeles (Kabc) – Despite the federal immigration activity near certain unified campuses in Los Angeles, the Superintendent Alberto Mr. Carvalho said that the first day of school was one of the best in the district of recent history.
Carvalho said that ICE activity had been reported “sufficiently close” to four district schools on Thursday, but they all occurred outside a range of two campuses.
Immigration activity occurred near the following schools:
– Bakewell primary center in the south of the
– Harte Prep Middle School in the south of the
– Cortines visual school & Show arts
– Victory boulevard Elementary and Steam Magnet in North Hollywood
LAPD alerted a case of activity and information on others came from community partners, added the superintendent.
“We have activated our protocols and we quickly informed schools as well as the labor market, and each member of the family who has children enrolled in our school system,” said Carvalho.
Despite the activity, Carvalho said there was no need for locking on these campuses and that there was no impact on attendance.
To alleviate fears or apprehension of the immigration raids in progress, Carvalho said that the district had had thousands of conversations with parents before the first day of the school.
He added that the district had experienced an attendance rate of 92% on Thursday, which represents an increase of 2% compared to last year.
This occurs after an 18 -year -old student at Reseda Charter High School was placed in police custody by federal immigration agents last week.
On Monday, a 15 -year -old boy was arrested by federal agents outside Arleta high school but was then released.
