Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends Education Code 234.7 to strengthen school protections against immigration enforcement by adding warrant requirements for nonpublic areas, consent/court-order rules for sharing pupil information, mandatory posting of protective guides, updated model policies limiting assistance, and compliance monitoring, all of which reduce local schools' cooperation with federal immigration authorities; it explicitly preserves limited federal information-sharing but the net changes restrict enforcement scope.
