(from Schwartz Hannum) With the Trump Administration planning to unwind the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program (DACA), independent schools that have employees or students affected by the program should ensure their compliance with Form I-9 employment authorization verification requirements for all employees, while not acting in a discriminatory manner. Also, according to Schwartz Hannum, a law firm with many independent school clients:
"Because DACA affects younger people, many independent schools may also be concerned about the ability of their students to continue to attend school. Unlike employment, there is no federal requirement that schools check students' immigration status. Therefore, students affected by the DACA phase-out can still attend school. However, students who work on campus or otherwise participate in a work study program may no longer be eligible to work lawfully in the U.S."
