Mapleton Public Schools

Immigrant and Refugee Resources

A resourceful and responsive community working together to ensure that no obstacle shall impede a student's success.

In Mapleton Public Schools, we believe that everyone deserves unlimited opportunities to maximize their unique abilities. We believe people thrive in a caring environment, and know that effective learning and teaching takes place in safe, secure, and welcoming environments. In 2025, the Board of Education unanimously adopted a resolution reaffirming Mapleton’s commitment to welcoming, protective, learning-focused environments.

The resolution, Affirming Support for All Students, Families, and Staff Members, elevates the belief statements that are central to our mission. It declares Mapleton a Safe Zone, where all students, regardless of their background, can achieve their dreams in caring environments, free of fear, disruptions and discrimination. To provide a quality public education to every student, regardless of a child or family member’s citizenship/immigration status, Mapleton will:

  • Continue to adhere to the Federal Education Rights and Privacy Act, protecting student privacy,
  • Assist families in keeping emergency contacts up to date, and
  • Not cooperate in any effort to enforce federal immigration law.

All students have the right to a free, public K-12 education, regardless of their immigration status or that of their parents. This includes access to services and programs such as free- and reduced-priced meals, English-language development classes, special education, and school activities. Our critical mission – and our obligation under the law – is to ensure that our schools are safe spaces where a student’s race, ethnicity, religion and immigration status do not create any barriers to that child’s education.

 It is important to know that the U.S. Supreme Court’s 1982 Plyler v. Doe decision affirmed that schools cannot deny enrollment to students on the basis of their immigration status, which ensures that all students have access to a free public education. 

As we navigate the changing landscape of federal policies on immigration, we reaffirm our commitment as educators to creating safe, supportive, and inclusive learning environments for all students. Our primary role is to educate and support all students, regardless of their immigration status or background. It's vital that every student feels safe, valued, and able to learn without fear or judgement. 

Clear policies and procedures are in place for when visitors, including law enforcement officer from any agency, visit our schools. Should a Law enforcement officer arrive at a school and ask to question a student, that request will be denied by school administrators unless a parent or guardian has given consent.
