ICE in Schools: Understanding Policies & School Safety Measures. School safety is at the forefront of national discussions, and recent policy changes regarding Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in schools have sparked concerns among educators, parents, and administrators. At SITE|SAFETYNET℠, we provide schools with real-time safety assessment tools to help them strengthen their security measures and emergency preparedness. While we do not offer protocols or policies regarding ICE, we support schools in evaluating their overall safety infrastructure.
