This year, Linda Vista Elementary School in San Diego got a lot of attention from the community when a parent was arrested by federal immigration officials while waiting to pick up a child just before school let out. The event happened right outside the school, which led district officials to reassure families about safety rules and support services for students and parents who were affected. School leaders said the situation was very troubling for the community and stressed that classrooms are still safe places to learn, even though outside factors are making families feel less safe.

After the event, more counselors and staff were available on campus to help students and families deal with their worries about community safety and health. District officials said again that they are committed to protecting students' privacy and creating a welcoming space for all families.
