 Immigration Discussion
Jungman teachers, staff, and leadership team stand together with the
Chicago Public Schools Education for All policy. Chicago is a sanctuary city.
Jungman applauds and 100% supports the commitment. We are living in
uncertainty as it relates to immigration policy. One thing is certain. Jungman
will continue to provide a high-quality education to all students in a safe and
inclusive environment. We are committed to preparing students for high
school level work and will continue to provide a foundation for every single
one of our students. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is NOT
legally permitted to access public education facilities or personnel. This
means Jungman will never cooperate with ICE under any circumstances.

Please show your support by filling your name in the blank space on
the unafraid ally flyer below. Please share as much information as you are
comfortable sharing. Feel free to use general terms such as “student”,
“parent” or “family” in the name section. We will collect and hang all flyers
in the main office as they are received. Thank you!

Please cut along the dotted line.
