✅ Already doing this (publicly visible)
⚠️ Partially doing this / unclear
❌ Not in place (opportunity)
The 5 Core Protections (achievable baseline)
  1. Public Policy – District explains how it handles ICE
  2. Warrant Requirement – Requires proper legal documentation before access
  3. Front Office Protocol – Staff know what to do if ICE shows up
  4. Student Privacy – Clear protection of student information
  5. Family Communication – Families are informed and reassured

Even in the best Utah districts, gaps remain.

Tier 1 districts have made meaningful progress, but no Utah district has a complete protective policy. Every one of them can still be pushed further — and Tier 2 and Tier 3 districts are largely starting from scratch.

In Utah, every protection that exists is the result of local organizing. The school board in your district can act right now.

⚠️
Tier 2 — Partial Protections These districts typically have student privacy protections in place but lack formal policies, written protocols, or staff training. They are reachable targets for structured advocacy.

Most Utah districts are starting from zero.

That is not a reason for despair — it is an opportunity. A school board that has never considered a warrant policy hasn't rejected it. The ask is to create something new, not to reverse an existing position.

The largest district in Utah — Alpine — has no public protective policy. It serves over 90,000 students. That is the single highest-impact organizing target in the state.

❌
Tier 3 — Minimal or No Public Protections Most Utah districts fall here, including Alpine — the largest district in the state. All share essentially the same baseline: nothing formally in place.

All Remaining Districts

Alpine · Nebo · Ogden City · Murray · Box Elder · Iron · Wasatch · Park City · and others
ProtectionStatus
Public Policy❌
Warrant Requirement❌
Front Office Protocol❌
Student Privacy⚠️
Family Communication❌
→ Next step: Adopt a warrant requirement + written policy + front office protocol
★ Alpine School District priority: Alpine is the largest school district in Utah and among the 50 largest in the country, serving over 90,000 students. A policy adoption here would be transformative. It is the single highest-impact organizing target in the state.
