It has been a worry for many illegal immigrant families since the federal government reversed its "sensitive locations" policy which made it legal for immigration enforcement to happen at schools, churches and hospitals.
"Our children have been crying," said Nora Barraza, who has three children in SCUSD schools. "They don't want to go to school. Their academic achievement has gone down."
"Please send your children to school. despite the anxiety and fear being pushed upon you, know this is a safe place," Singh said.
"Their job is to present a valid warrant," Singh said. "That valid warrant needs to be checked and processed by our legal staff."
"We haven't gotten any indication that things are happening, but even if they were it's very clear we aren't going to get a heads up," Singh said.
"It's not that they come on campus and get to do the whole look at our vests and look at us patrolling around campus," Singh said.
Chief of Staff for the Department of Education David Schapira said California is one of six states that funds schools based on attendance.
He commended SCUSD's policy and called on all California schools to implement the same kind of policy to protect students.
He said Senate Bill 48, which will be in this legislative session, would prohibit school officials from allowing immigration enforcement officials on their campuses without a court order.
"It's very hard, but we need to give our kids that peace of mind. One way or another we need to find that way to give them that peace of mind," Barraza said.
