Thank you, Chancellor Farina for speaking up on behalf of our city’s immigrants. On January 30th, 2017, in her letter to families, the Chancellor wrote:

“The New York City Department of Education (DOE) and the Mayor’s Office are committed to protecting the right of every student in New York City to attend public school, regardless of immigration status. The United States Supreme Court has also recognized the importance of public education for all students, including undocumented students. Your child is our top priority, and we will do everything in our power to protect that right and ensure all students get a quality education.”
