• School Committee adopts new policy governing ICE encounter protocols (homenewshere.com) — Woburn's School Committee has adopted a new state-mandated policy that blocks ICE agents from entering school grounds or school events without a judicial warrant and restricts staff from sharing student information. The rules also require notifying parents if federal agents seek contact with a minor and clarify that only designated administrators may interact with ICE, aiming to protect students, families, and staff.
