Curious to Know

With a new Administration, it has occurred to me that many of the various events that may, on the surface at least, seem like they have little to do with public education may very well play out in our schools. What I am referring to are the potential actions within the State Department with regard to immigration and they Department of Education with regard to funding and follow the mandates with regard to various title programs.

What are young people, whose parents may be here legally or illegally, thinking with regard to their future? How are the 'dreamers' responding to the potential ban put in place by the President? What will happen to funding for such critical programs as Title I, Title II, Title III and Title IX? How will school respond to these questions and potential actions? These and other obvious questions are the crux of what could affect young school children.

Sadly, I see a potential for the State Dept. and the Dept of Education to deal a double blow to school children who live in the shadows.
