Educators around the country are bracing for upheaval, whether or not the president-elect follows through on his pledge to deport millions of immigrants who are in the country illegally.

"The kids are still coming to school, but they're scared,” says one school superintendent.

Many school officials are reluctant to talk about their plans or concerns, some out of fear of drawing attention.

Denver 's school board passed a resolution to protect its students from immigration authorities pursuing them or their information.

Denver will not “grant access to our students” unless federal agents can provide a valid search warrant.

School districts say these policies reaffirm their students’ constitutional right to a free, public education, regardless of immigration status.
