The Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986, which provides legalization to certain undocumented aliens and imposes sanctions on employers who knowingly hire undocumented workers, affects school districts in their capacity both as employers and as providers of services to children and families who may be seeking to legalize their immigration status. School districts must design personnel policies that comply with the bill's employer sanctions provisions but that do not violate the anti-discrimination provisions in the new law and in the Civil Rights Act of 1964. It is likely that school personnel will receive many questions and will want to become informed about the legalization process, develop a listing of agencies providing approved assistance, and refer individuals to these agencies for specific information and assistance. School districts will need to respond to increased demands for adult classes in English and United States Civics and Government and to stay informed of state and federal assistance for these programs. Finally, school personnel, parents, and community members should understand that enforcement of the immigration law is the responsibility of the Immigration and Naturalization Service and not of the schools.
