Arlington schools, impact of new administration

[Anonymous]

I’m reading on the Arlington Education Matters Facebook page teachers are stressed and concerned about the election and impacts to teachers. They mention the elimination of DOE and concern with teachers already being short staffed and overworked. I also see Arlington parents complaining about amount of time it takes to get grades back and responsiveness of counselors who are supporting a large number of students.

Isn’t it a huge plus, the removal of illegals that the new administration is promising? This could significantly reduce the number of students and the numbers that need extra support. It seems to me this is a big upside to reduce crowding and stress on our teachers, school administrators and school infrastructure.

Your delusional if you think Arlington doesn’t have a large illegal population

You are a huge jerk, OP. The kids in our school system are not “illegals.” They are human children.

Well there is a large cost to those children, so don’t cry about how long it takes to get grades and the loss of good teachers who are overworked. Can’t have it both ways there is only so much budget

I guess we know who OP voted for

There will probably be a lot less money and oversight for public schools.

Bye bye civil rights!

Then they aren’t getting deported

We kicked kids out for not actually living in Arlington per the residency requirements. If someone is living in this country illegally, they should be kicked out of the country and go to school where they can legally reside.

Education is the purview of the states. Take all the money given to DOE and give it to the states to pay teachers more. Why should education dollars be in the federal bureaucracy that tells us our kids can’t have bake sales because of their school food programs?

Supreme Court said otherwise a--hole.

Yeah, that's my point

and if they live in Arlington they are paying (through rent) property taxes and car taxes and sales taxes etc so their families are paying for the schools....?

If undocumented immigrants are removed due to changes Trump plans to make regarding sanctuary cities like Arlington, and we deport them, then those affected—whether they were brought here by undocumented parents or not—will have to deal with the consequences. I predict that this would result in higher-quality schools, lower expenditures, and increased safety.

Donald Trump's proposed deportation policies aim to address many concerns about the impact of undocumented immigration on public services. His policies include:

Mass Deportations: Trump has pledged to remove millions of undocumented immigrants, which would lessen the strain on resources like public schools and reduce the tax burden.
Utilizing the Alien Enemies Act of 1798: This would expedite deportations, ensuring that policies are enforced swiftly.
Ending Birthright Citizenship: By ending birthright citizenship for children of undocumented parents, Trump aims to prioritize resources for legal citizens.
Reinstating Previous Policies: Bringing back the "Remain in Mexico" program and other previous measures would help control immigration levels.
Expanding the Border Wall: By continuing to build the border wall, Trump seeks to further secure the U.S. border and control unauthorized immigration.
These policies are intended to reduce the pressure on public schools and lessen the tax burden for Americans. I am looking forward to taking back our public schools.
