The district is aware of social media and mainstream media reports about a McAllen family that has reportedly been detained by immigration authorities.
In accordance with federal student privacy laws (known as FERPA), the district is unable to confirm details related to specific students. However, while the district will continue to follow applicable laws, we are in contact with appropriate authorities and elected officials on this matter.
At McAllen ISD, we are committed to the education and support of all children. Our focus will always center on providing a safe and respectful learning environment for students.
