Statement from the City of Fairfax School Board Regarding Student Immigration Status

The City of Fairfax School Board believes that every student has the right to a free public education, regardless of immigration status. We recognize that a student’s physical safety and emotional well-being are essential to their academic success.


We affirm our partnership with Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) and fully support their Trust Policy. This policy ensures that all students and their families can access FCPS benefits and services without fear that their information will be disclosed to federal immigration officials. By aligning with Fairfax County's Public Trust and Confidentiality Policy, FCPS demonstrates its commitment to creating a safe and welcoming environment for everyone in our community.

The City of Fairfax School Board proudly upholds these shared values, fostering an inclusive and supportive atmosphere for all students and families in our schools. 


Your education is our priority, and we are dedicated to ensuring that you can learn without fear.
