H.R. 8369 – No ICE in Schools Act

AI-Generated Summary

Updated April 23, 2026 at 12:56 PM UTC

The No ICE in Schools Act would stop any school or college that gets federal education money from sharing a student's education records or personal information with immigration authorities unless the student's parents give written permission. It changes existing federal education law to make this a condition for receiving funds. The bill mainly affects K‑12 schools, colleges, and universities that receive federal funding.

Key Provisions

Amends the General Education Provisions Act to add a new rule that federal education funds cannot be provided to any educational institution that releases student records or other personal information for immigration enforcement.
Requires written consent from a student's parents before any education record or personal information can be shared for immigration purposes, specifying what is released, why, and to whom, and providing copies to the parents (and the student if the parents request).
