NY officials warn school districts that they must enroll migrant students

By Ben Brachfeld Posted on August 30, 2023

New York Attorney General Letitia James and the state Education Department issued a stern warning to school districts that they must enroll migrants in public schools, and not put up roadblocks preventing children from getting an education.

James and state Education Commissioner Betty Rosa sent a letter to the state’s school districts on Sunday, reminding them ahead of the first day of school that they are obligated to provide a free public education to all youth in New York between the ages of 5 and 21, regardless of their immigration or residence status. Those attempting to deny a public education to any child could be subject to legal action, the pair warned.
