Recent State Laws Reinforce SUSD’s Safe Haven Commitment

Two California laws passed in late 2025 strengthen Stockton Unified School District’s commitment to being a safe haven for all students and families, regardless of immigration status.

SB 98 applies to California K–12 schools and universities. It requires schools to notify students, faculty, and staff when federal immigration enforcement activity occurs on campus.

Purpose of SB 98:

  • Build trust between schools and families
  • Shield schools from unauthorized immigration enforcement
  • Reinforce campuses as safe spaces for learning

AB 495 helps families plan for the care of their children in the event of temporary parental separation due to immigration matters, illness, military service, or incarceration.

Key provisions include:

  • Expanded use of caregiver affidavits
  • New joint guardianship options
  • Protection of family privacy
  • Schools and childcare facilities cannot collect or request immigration status information

Our Commitment

Stockton Unified School District is dedicated to ensuring that all students feel safe, welcomed, and supported. These laws reinforce our ongoing efforts to:

  • Protect student privacy
  • Uphold family trust
  • Maintain schools as environments focused on learning and student well-being
