If you were a sane principal, you wouldn’t consider someone else’s children “your kids”. Instead, you would refer to them as students, or “your students”, if you wish.
Do you/have you ever worked in a school? Everyone refers to their students as their kids. It's a testament to the relationships formed and how much responsibility staff feels for their growth and development and safety.
I have. And, it goes without saying that the safety, as well as the academic and personal growth of my students are paramount to anything and everything I do.
I also have a clear understanding of boundaries; that is why my role has been that of a facilitator, always respectful of my students, as well as of their parents and their parental rights and responsibilities. The children I gave birth to are the only ones I consider my own.

Makes sense, don't let legal residents go to DC because of the illegal kids.

School officials are increasingly MAGA now.

This has been a frustrating problem for a long time. The only way around it is to rent a charter bus, and then you can leave as early as kids can get there and return later. The charter buses are very expensive. It’s really sad because being so close to DC can’t be taken advantage of.
Charter buses seem like a good alternative, and they cost peanuts compared to Reid’s new 24/7 security detail to keep her safe in Fairfax. The former meets an academic need, whereas the latter one feeds Reid’s perception of self-importance. It’s a matter of priorities!

+1. ICE is regularly jailing US citizens so no one is safe.

I mean, according to the federal government DC is a war zone right now, so…
I live in DC and can confirm the missiles flying over the Capitol daily.
