Freeport administrators sent a letter home to parents saying student protection is first priority amid recent federal immigration actions. Other schools on Long Island are issuing similar statements.

In the letter, Freeport says the recently issued presidential executive orders will not interfere with students' education. The district says it will "take every step possible to protect the rights of all our children to a free and public education."

"I think it's important to protect the kids right, that's paramount in America, that's the future," said Matt Madacs, of Merrick.

The Patchogue-Medford Union Free School District told News 12 that "the district does not authorize law enforcement agencies to access school grounds for the purpose of detaining, arresting, or questioning unless such access is related to an alleged crime occurring on school grounds, or pursuant to a warrant or court order."

The Riverhead Central School District sent a letter to the community last week saying immigration enforcement will be prohibited on school grounds without proper documentation.

"Education is most important and to disrupt that disrupts the entire family," said Walter Silver Thompson, of Freeport.

Freeport Public Schools declined to speak with News 12.

News 12 reached out to the Freeport mayor and the Nassau County executive on this and is waiting to hear back.
