Immigration

The New Jersey Department of Education (NJDOE) is unwavering in its commitment to ensuring that every student, regardless of immigration status, national origin, or religion, can attend public school safely. In addition to the many resources designed to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the K-12 school population provided by the Office of School Preparedness & Emergency Planning (OSPEP), the resources below are designed to support school officials, staff, and communities in safeguarding the physical well-being of students and their fundamental right to be enrolled in New Jersey schools.

Americans know that our strength has always been built on the simple notion that America is a place where many become one.

The time for commonsense, comprehensive and compassionate immigration reform is long overdue. —Randi Weingarten
