Support for Our Families

Dear MHUSD Parents/Guardians and Families,

We are aware of the increased anxiety surrounding recent executive orders related to immigration and recognize the challenges and uncertainties many of our students, families, and staff members currently face. For many in our community, the weight of these uncertainties is overwhelming.

As I’ve often stated, our collective work and its impact extends beyond the walls of the classroom, school buildings, and offices; our work calls us to serve as a source of stability, compassion, and support for our school community.

By law, all children in the United States, regardless of immigration or citizenship status, have the right to a free and appropriate public education (Plyler v. Doe, 457 U.S. 202 [1982]), and every student in California has the right to attend public school free from discrimination, harassment, violence, intimidation, and bullying (California Education Code [EC] 220, 234, et seq.).

MHUSD has established important protections for students “irrespective of their immigration status, ethnicity, race, religion, primary language, sexual orientation, gender identity, or socio- economic status.” We reaffirm our commitment to maintaining our schools as safe and welcoming environments for all students and families. (See Resolution No. 2016-17 039: Morgan Hill Unified School Sites as Safe Spaces, adopted by the Board in January 2017)

Federal and state laws protect student education records and personal information. The district does not collect immigration or citizenship information.

There are many state and county resources available to our community. For our community’s benefit, we are linking these resources on the front page of the mhusd.org website or under the Family Resources tab. This page will be updated frequently to reflect the latest information. Quick links to some of these resources can be found below.

Furthermore, we are partnering with local community-based organizations to provide additional resources, trainings, and free legal consultations for those that find themselves with immigration related questions/situations. More information on these trainings are forthcoming.

It is important that we continue to support our students, their families, and one another, and remember that central to our mission is that, in partnership with parents and the community, we create learning environments where all students learn and are empowered to achieve their unique potential. Thank you for all you do to make our schools safe places where every single student is valued, feels safe, and can thrive.

 

In partnership,

Dr. Carmen García
Superintendent

January is School Board Recognition Month

January is School Board Recognition Month, and Morgan Hill Unified School District is proud to recognize and celebrate our dedicated Board of Education. Over the past several months, our trustees have been instrumental in approving key initiatives and policies to enhance education and support our students, staff, and families. They have overseen the implementation of innovative programs such as expanded Dual Enrollment opportunities with Gavilan College, approved critical facility upgrades to improve safety and learning environments, and adopted policies to strengthen equity and inclusion across our schools.

Their responsibilities also include reviewing budgets to ensure fiscal accountability, setting long-term goals aligned with our Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP), and advocating for the resources needed to support student achievement. The Board’s vision and dedication are at the heart of everything we do, and their leadership continues to shape the future of education in Morgan Hill.

Please join us in expressing our gratitude for their hard work, thoughtful decision-making, and unwavering commitment to our community. Thank you, MHUSD Board of Education, for making a difference every day!
