If Fairfax County Public Schools refuses to drop DEI, allow men in women’s sports, and continues sanctuary policies by not working with ICE, then losing Title 1 funding is on them. They were warned.

Let’s be honest, a big chunk of that funding goes toward supporting students tied to undocumented families. If the county cooperated with ICE and enforced immigration laws, a lot of that population would be out of the system, and the need for Title 1 would drop significantly.

My recommendation? Follow the law, stop the political games, and focus on real education. If they won’t, then redirect that money to schools that do.

The Supreme Court determined that school's have to educate all students, undocumented or not. Plyler vs Doe 1982. So FCPS is following the law

+1

ICE does not belong in schools.

Maybe not, but it is allowed on school buses. We (bus drivers) were informed to not resist and open the door for them if stoped by ICE.

I’ve a feeling the feds would still find a reason to withhold funding even if they did these things.

I have to ask. Which schools have had boys on girls’ teams? Which sports?

Correct but there isn't anything saying you can't report undocumented immigrants to ice, feel free to educate but they MUST report for deport.

Putting aside how unworkable this is for a lot of reasons (including, how is it the school's job or expertise to figure out immigration status) I do not believe for a minute that a reduction in school population would result in more money for the remaining students. That's a fantasy.

FCPS spent $124 million on ESOL last year alone. That money can be spent elsewhere.

Extortion. Trump has a history of it. He’s doing it now to law firms, news outlets and universities. Why wouldn’t he do the same to public k-12 schools?

The concrete situation described below is more of direct threat to the residents of Fairfax, including our students, yet your “feeling” is more related to something that hasn’t taken place:

Do you have the feeling that the Dems that run Fairfax (School Board included) are trying to extort its residents? What for? Higher taxes?

Re: ICE - I don't think anyone is talking about ICE in schools or on school buses. The point is that when ICE deports parents who are here illegally, their kids will go with them.

Do you think only undocumented students need ESOL? Lots of legal residents need it, including kids born here.

All money could be spent elsewhere, there are a lot of needs and wants. But there's zero chance that ESOL money would be redistributed to other school programs as you seem to imagine.

The bolded parts of the quote above suggest that poster is condoning ICE being permitted in schools.

The person who brought up ICE talked about FCPS losing funding by not cooperating with ICE. I'm not sure what else that could mean, other than ICE in schools.

Which would make all parents of non white kids, regardless of legal status, reluctant to send their kids to school lest they be wrongly shipped off. That's probably what PP would prefer, but it means a huge number of kids not getting educated and potentially not supervised. Disastrous.

FCPS will be much better off after 4 years of Trump than they would’ve been otherwise. If you can’t see that then you are lost.

Keep an eye on how the health room/clinics are staffed and managed. The entire school health program is being dismantled.
