There is growing concern surrounding the impact that the Trump administration’s
decision to rescind DACA (the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals
program) will have on immigrants and their educational rights. In particular, the work that a school district does to collect information for school enrollment, or eligibility for Title III services, needs to be carefully conducted so as to not violate civil rights around the "chilling effect" (any practices that could intentionally or unintentionally dissuade immigrant families from enrolling their children as students). 

In this free guide, Dr. David Holbrook, Executive Director of Federal Programs at TransACT advises administrators on avoiding the chilling effect while conducting enrollment and Title III services. This short, simple guide contains:

1. Concise listing of federal resources on school enrollment procedures

2. Disambiguation of the "Immigrant Student" definition

3. Commentary on collecting data for the determination of Title III program eligibility
