The bill treats immigration enforcement impacts as a school-based civil rights and student welfare issue, funding wraparound and trauma-informed supports rather than restricting enforcement directly. Status: introduced; practical effect on mixed-status families and school communities depends on appropriations and eligible-use rules.
