The Longview School Board has updated its policies to require a judicial warrant before U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents can enter the district's schools. The policy changes, recommended by the state, are intended to clarify when staff must share information with immigration authorities and help ensure the safety and privacy of students and their families.
Why it matters
The new Longview school policy reflects an ongoing national debate over the role of immigration enforcement in educational settings. Advocates argue that the presence of ICE agents on campuses can create a climate of fear that discourages immigrant students and families from engaging with schools, potentially undermining educational access and outcomes.
The details
Under the updated Longview School Board policy, staff are now required to obtain approval from the district superintendent before sharing any student information with ICE agents. Furthermore, ICE agents will only be granted access to school grounds if they present a valid judicial warrant, as opposed to an administrative warrant which carries less legal weight.
- The Longview School Board approved the policy updates on February 15, 2026.

The governing body responsible for setting policies for the Longview School District in Washington state.
The takeaway
The Longview School District's new policy aims to protect immigrant students and families by requiring stronger legal oversight before immigration authorities can access school grounds or student information. This reflects a broader trend of school districts seeking to limit ICE's presence on campuses in the interest of maintaining a safe and welcoming learning environment for all students.
