Students without legal status do not prohibit registering or participating in classes based on the proposed rules. However, the area is obliged to track the number of children who have not provided evidence of citizenship. Submit those numbers to the Ministry of Education of Oklahoma, excluding information that can be identified individuals.
“Nothing in this section is interpreted as prohibiting or inhibiting education for children to receive children,” he said.
Walters also provided a fair warning to those who apply for Oklahoma schools.
“If a law enforcement officer enters and sought information, we are legally demanding to provide that information,” Walters continued. “If they come and ask us about specific information, we will be happy to provide it.”
“Because there is already a lot of information necessary when students are registered in the district, it will be a very easy change,” he concluded.
