Tuesday’s (January 28) news release also says BISD does not have official data regarding any students immigration status. BISD also says the district is required by law to educate all students. College Station ISD’s social media as of Tuesday evening did not have a statement regarding the rumors reported by BISD. News release from Bryan ISD: Like many other school districts in our state, we are aware of rumors regarding the presence of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents at schools. According to our records, ICE agents have not been on our campuses. In an effort to provide transparency and to answer some of the questions we have received from our school community, we want to assure you that in Bryan ISD we remain committed to our vision of “ChildrenFirst. Always.” Nothing about our student privacy policies or registration process has changed. As with all public schools in the State of Texas, Bryan ISD and its employees are entrusted with thee education, care, and safety of all of our students and their information. As has been the case since 1974, confidential student information is protected by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), a federal law. This law prohibits the sharing of this type of information and/or records without a lawful subpoena/warrant or permission from the student’s legal guardians. Bryan ISD does not have official data regarding the immigration status of students and is required by law to educate all students. Bryan ISD is grateful for its longstanding partnership with local law enforcement agencies. As always, our campus and district administrators work closely with legal counsel to ensure student rights and information are protected. Bryan ISD remains committed to educating and caring for every student in our schools. We appreciate your continued support and trusting us with your child’s education.
