The director of school safety at Peoria Public Schools voiced support for families in response to an increased presence of ICE agents in Central Illinois. Also in response, four community leaders are organizing a donation drive to provide essential supplies to Latino families.

A NUESTRAS FAMILIAS HISPANAS Y LATINAS: SUS HIJOS TIENEN DERECHO A ESTAR AQUÍ. TENEMOS EL DEBER DE PROTEGERLOS.

El derecho de un niΓ±o a la educaciΓ³n no es un favor. La dignidad de una familia no estΓ‘ sujeta a la aprobaciΓ³n pΓΊblica. Y ningΓΊn padre ni ninguna madre deberΓ­a tener que sopesar la promesa de un salΓ³n de clases frente al temor de una separaciΓ³n.

Dejemos clara la postura de las Escuelas PΓΊblicas de Peoria: sus hijos pertenecen a nuestras escuelas y asumimos con seriedad la responsabilidad de proteger su seguridad.

No esperamos a que el estado lo ordenara para establecer un protocolo de respuesta ante el Servicio de InmigraciΓ³n y Control de Aduanas (ICE). Comprendimos nuestra obligaciΓ³n antes de que el estado exigiera una polΓ­tica. Proteger a los niΓ±os exige preparaciΓ³n, convicciΓ³n y voluntad de actuar.

La Ley de Escuelas Seguras para Todos de Illinois refuerza el derecho a una educaciΓ³n pΓΊblica gratuita, independientemente de la ciudadanΓ­a o la situaciΓ³n migratoria, real o percibida, del estudiante, de sus padres o de sus tutores legales. ProhΓ­be excluir a los estudiantes de los programas escolares por esos motivos y exige procedimientos para responder a las solicitudes de las autoridades del orden pΓΊblico para ingresar a las instalaciones escolares.

Los derechos deben tener un respaldo real. Las familias merecen saber quΓ© hay detrΓ‘s de nuestras palabras.

El protocolo de nuestro distrito ante ICE indica al personal que debe:

1. Negar el consentimiento para que ICE ingrese a los edificios escolares y comunicarse de inmediato con los responsables del Departamento de Seguridad Escolar.

2. Remitir las Γ³rdenes, las citaciones y las solicitudes de acceso a los directivos del distrito y a la asesorΓ­a jurΓ­dica. Una orden administrativa de ICE, por sΓ­ sola, no autoriza el ingreso sin consentimiento a las Γ‘reas escolares que no estΓ‘n abiertas al pΓΊblico.

3. Proteger la informaciΓ³n de los estudiantes. El personal tiene instrucciones de no divulgar informaciΓ³n sin una revisiΓ³n jurΓ­dica previa. Las Escuelas PΓΊblicas de Peoria no recopilan ni mantienen registros sobre la situaciΓ³n migratoria de los estudiantes ni de sus familias.

4. Aplicar medidas de protecciΓ³n cuando sea necesario, incluido un cierre preventivo de seguridad (Β«soft lockdownΒ»), conforme a nuestro protocolo de respuesta.

Cumpliremos la ley y defenderemos los derechos que esta protege. Cualquier acceso o divulgaciΓ³n de informaciΓ³n que sea legalmente obligatorio deberΓ‘ gestionarse mediante la revisiΓ³n correspondiente del distrito y de su asesorΓ­a jurΓ­dica.

Nuestras escuelas deben ser lugares donde los niΓ±os puedan levantar la cabeza, desarrollar sus capacidades intelectuales y construir su futuro. El miedo jamΓ‘s debe convertirse en el precio de una educaciΓ³n.

Si su familia necesita ayuda, comunΓ­quese con el director o la directora de la escuela de su hijo o con nuestro Departamento de Seguridad Escolar. AcΓ©rquense. Hagan preguntas. PermΓ­tannos ayudarles a encontrar apoyo.

Si presencia actividad de ICE o recibe informaciΓ³n sobre ella en los alrededores de una escuela, un Γ‘rea de juegos, un estacionamiento, una zona de autobuses o un vecindario cercano, avise de inmediato al director o la directora de la escuela. TambiΓ©n puede llamar o enviar un mensaje de texto a la FederaciΓ³n de Maestros de Illinois al 309-231-9623 para que le ayuden a comunicarse con su Equipo de Respuesta CrΓ­tica. Proporcione la ubicaciΓ³n, la hora y una descripciΓ³n, si las conoce. Distinga claramente entre lo que usted presenciΓ³ y lo que otra persona le informΓ³.

A nuestras familias: ustedes merecen mÑs que palabras de consuelo. Merecen procedimientos claros, líderes que rindan cuentas y adultos preparados para defender a sus hijos. Hoy les he comunicado a mis oficiales que, PERSONALMENTE, estoy dispuesto a llegar HASTA LAS ÚLTIMAS CONSECUENCIAS para asegurarme de cumplir esa promesa.

Sus hijos pertenecen aquΓ­. Sus derechos importan aquΓ­. Y tenemos la firme intenciΓ³n de cumplir nuestra responsabilidad hacia ellos mediante acciones.

TO OUR HISPANIC AND LATINO FAMILIES: YOUR CHILDREN HAVE A RIGHT TO BE HERE. WE HAVE A DUTY TO PROTECT THEM.

A child’s right to an education is not a favor. A family’s dignity is not subject to public approval. And no parent should have to weigh the promise of a classroom against the fear of separation.

Let us be clear about where Peoria Public Schools stands: your children belong in our schools, and we take responsibility for their safety seriously.

We did not wait for a state mandate to establish an ICE response protocol. We understood our obligation before the state required a policy. Protecting children demands preparation, conviction, and the willingness to act.

Illinois’ Safe Schools for All Act reinforces the right to a free public education regardless of a child’s or their parent’s or guardian’s actual or perceived citizenship or immigration status. It prohibits exclusion from school programs on those grounds and requires procedures for responding to law enforcement requests to enter school facilities.

Rights must have substance. Families deserve to know what stands behind our words.

Our district’s ICE protocol directs staff to:

1. Decline consent to ICE entering school buildings and immediately contact School Safety leadership.

2. Refer warrants, subpoenas, and requests for access to district leadership and legal counsel. An ICE administrative warrant alone does not authorize entry into nonpublic school areas without consent.

3. Protect student information. Staff are directed not to release information without legal review. Peoria Public Schools does not collect or maintain students’ or families’ immigration status.

4. Use protective measures when needed, including a soft lockdown under our response protocol.
We will follow the law and defend the rights it protects. Any legally required access or disclosure must be handled through the appropriate district and legal review.

Our schools must be places where children can lift their heads, exercise their minds, and build their futures. Fear must never become the price of an education.

If your family needs help, contact your child’s principal or our School Safety Department. Reach out. Ask questions. Let us help you find support.

If ICE activity is witnessed or reported around a school, playground, parking lot, bus area, or nearby neighborhood, notify the building principal immediately. You may also call or text the Illinois Federation of Teachers at 309-231-9623 to help connect with the Illinois Federation of Teachers’ Critical Response Team. Provide the location, time, and description, if known. Be clear about what you witnessed and what someone else reported.

Demario Boone: 309-256-2671

To our families: you deserve more than comforting language. You deserve clear procedures, accountable leadership, and adults prepared to stand up for your children. I have let my officers know today that I am PERSONALLY willing to go ALL THE WAY to make sure that is a promise.

Your children belong here. Their rights matter here. And we intend to honor our responsibility to them through action.

And one of our amazing SROs! πŸ’šπŸ€β€οΈ

Yeni came to the U.S. 26 years ago in search of new opportunities and a better future for her and her son. Throughout the years, Yeni embraced the challenges of starting over in a new country while holding on to her Mexican roots.

In 2019, she turned her passion for food, culture, and family traditions into a dream come true by purchasing Palate Frida LLC, now known as Yeni's Palarte.

As a proud Mexican American citizen, mother, grandmother, and business owner, Yeni says she’s grateful for how far she’s come. Her journey reflects resilience, dedication, and love for her heritage, and she hopes to share a little taste of Mexico with every customer who walks through the doors.

Email from one of our amazing school counselors, Brittany Bush:

Hello,

Today we had a student who was really upset because his dad couldn't attend Donuts with Dude due to being incarcerated. He has an amazing relationship with Officer Scott. Once I got him calmed down, I told him to go ask Off. Scott if he would take him to Donuts with Dudes. Here is the result.
