Support for Schools Enrolling Immigrant Children

This act aims to provide additional funding to public schools experiencing an increased influx of immigrant children. This will help schools cover the costs associated with educating and supporting these students, ensuring their access to learning and essential services.
Key points
Public schools and Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA)-funded schools will receive emergency funds for the 2021-2022 school year.
Funds are intended for staff compensation, educational materials, instructional services, transportation, health, and counseling services for immigrant students.
The amount of aid depends on the increase in immigrant student enrollment compared to the 2019-2020 school year, with $12,000 per additional student.
The act emphasizes that all children in the U.S. have the right to public education, regardless of immigration status.
