Adelaide Kruse, a science teacher at Aiken New Tech High School, said half of her students have stopped coming to school since President Donald Trump authorized immigration enforcement on school property.
“And the students who are there, are honestly too scared to learn,” she told the Cincinnati Public Schools Board of Education during a Monday school board meeting.
The district serves about 35,000 students, and more than 1 in 10 of them are learning English because they don’t speak it as their first language. At Kruse’s school, about 1 in 5 students are English language learners. She asked the district: What’s the policy if government agents come knocking on her school’s door asking about undocumented students?
