First on Fox: How the migrant crisis overwhelmed DC public schoolsEmails between D.C. Public Schools officials are offering a glimpse into the strain placed on schools in Washington, D.C., as the sanctuary city struggles to handle an influx of migrants into the nation’s capital.The emails, obtained by Parents Defending Education via a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request and shared with Fox News Digital, show a number of challenges facing officials, including finding placements and getting enough bilingual staff.The emails cover 2022 and 2023, just as the numbers were rising at the border, and as Texas Gov. Greg Abbott had started busing migrants to “sanctuary” cities across the country — starting with D.C.”As [Language Acquisition Division] continues to support the needs of Migrant Students and the instructional/SEL needs of schools, we are struggling to find available seats/school placements within 45 minutes of the temporary hotel sites,” an April 2023 report says.”There are pending Enrollment Reserve Requests for the schools that are in process. However, the number of families arriving in DC with children in need of immediate supports has increased more rapidly than anticipated by DHS or the Office of Migrant Services, making the need for the additional enrollment reserve more urgent.”That report shows that multiple grades across multiple schools in the district were full and could not hold additional students. Although the report noted that families are reporting “high levels of satisfaction with all of the school placements.”One email from 2022 shows a DCPS staff member from the Office of Elementary Schools warning that one school had received “an influx of ELL [English Language Learner] students who do not speak English, and the teachers need instructional support with strategies to support our scholars.”Another email is about the “increased challenges with school placement for Migrant Students.”
