SAUSD SUPPORTS FAMILIES AFFECTED BY END OF DACA
The Santa Ana Unified School District (SAUSD) is standing by its families that may be impacted by the recent announcement of the Trump administration to end the
Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program while also leaving Congress a six-month window to possibly save the policy. "DACA students have been model citizens, paying billions of dollars in taxes, serving our branches of the military, working, and bettering themselves through entrepreneurship and educational endeavors," said
John Palacio, President of the SAUSD Board of Education. In 2016, The Board adopted a 'safe haven' resolution and at its next meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 12, 2017, is scheduled to consider adopting another resolution to support and protect SAUSD students that will be impacted by this rescission of DACA, said Palacio.
