Delgado Bergen said some colleges partner with the seal program and gave Eastern Illinois University as an example, noting it may award credit to students who earn the seal.

She framed the seal as an option that supports students whether they plan to attend a four-year college or pursue vocational training, and she urged families to view multiple pathways to success. Delgado Bergen said students who earn the recognition may receive an academic cord for graduation and that some higher-education partners offer credit (the presentation cited Eastern Illinois as offering 12 credits for the seal).

The presenter invited families to learn more by scheduling time with multilingual staff and to sign up for support so their students can pursue the seal and possible college credit. The session was informational; no program adoption or formal district vote was reported at the meeting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Proviso Township High Schools District 209 - Bilingual Parent Advisory Committee","oneSentenceSummary","A multilingual department staff member described a biliteracy/bilingual seal program for students, explained it can yield college credits from partner institutions (citing Eastern Illinois University as an example), and encouraged families to consider multiple postsecondary pathways.","taxTitle","Proviso Twp HSD 209, School Boards, Illinois","taxId",55227,"location","Illinois","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},5973491,"District 209 multilingual presenter urges families to prepare emergency plans and complete temporary guardianship forms",401,1794000,2195000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5829974-122f93bedcaa4c7fe274db5a43961385&start=1794&end=2195","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5829974-122f93bedcaa4c7fe274db5a43961385/thumbnail_1794000.jpg","/articles/5973491/Illinois/District-209-multilingual-presenter-urges-families-to-prepare-emergency-plans-and-complete-temporary-guardianship-forms","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/5973491-8fe4456ad7c0274216229703154313ab/orig.mp4?Expires=1771076735&Signature=QzXo14enH4YeWFqAjNtcWxelKry~tyFVuUUhNM~JsdyGHVhLfX0~Sh3g4w4esfCtQ-2l7~XFT9RH5TkydF6hE7cFaRxg3NtetRdiOvww5pY64leVzT6ugZuVkHKvaXkJjFCcEqhG~W-EsNg3PWfeRGKmiSIqWG1DK8eTDM~PHxg5EypvB2QKnDdjjLngTzaSVpiWK9TVe4q1OEz2~ZrsPCVfJxlTm206sI5Xq3uEfhWLpW6dsLiaij1vFQE3~4ZV2CPCAzI8sbiRtRZY6uS47Flx8tdZRKlASjU0QsVz9tynortKkkg8~fgGR4f~qOEBpAvHDNrNgAGTVkU4AuItig__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Nora Delgado Bergen, a member of District 209’s multilingual department, urged parents and caregivers at a BKAC meeting to prepare family emergency plans that identify who will care for children if a parent is detained or otherwise unavailable. Delgado Bergen demonstrated a temporary guardianship form and emphasized families should complete and keep a copy on file with their child’s school.

Delgado Bergen explained that while she provided both English and Spanish versions of the temporary guardianship form, the English version is the one that must be completed for school or court use. She said the completed form can help a designated adult pick up a child from school and notify school administrators that a guardian is authorized to act for the child.

She recommended practical steps families should take: memorize at least one phone number in case a parent’s phone is taken, keep copies of identification and medical information in a secure place, list medical conditions and medications for each child, and ensure emergency contact information on file with the school is up to date. Delgado Bergen also suggested that passports and legal identification be kept where family members can access them and warned against relying on paid notary or immigration consultants for legal advice.

Delgado Bergen described the temporary guardianship form discussed as valid for a period (as stated in the presentation) but did not provide a verifiable legal duration during the meeting. She offered to share the forms and slide materials after the meeting and encouraged families to speak with school administrators or volunteer legal providers for additional help. The session was informational; there was no formal district action recorded.","At a BKAC meeting, a multilingual staff member advised families to create emergency plans, memorize phone numbers, keep key documents accessible, and complete English-language temporary guardianship forms for schools.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},5973494,"District 209 presenter tells families schools are safe from federal immigration enforcement and shares ‘know your rights’ resources",906,624000,1530000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5829974-122f93bedcaa4c7fe274db5a43961385&start=624&end=1530","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5829974-122f93bedcaa4c7fe274db5a43961385/thumbnail_624000.jpg","/articles/5973494/Illinois/District-209-presenter-tells-families-schools-are-safe-from-federal-immigration-enforcement-and-shares-know-your-rights-resources","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/5973494-808435fab0d9699aeffc84e9c2c8664f/orig.mp4?Expires=1771076735&Signature=lBx-LpKJBePI-fvz-~KbUxCMEnSRSwK4ih1nh1g32nULY5Wh3YvfndXghY49REDRCnQrS8lfZcJMB9vv6toFx6Cyg0QTppOJxPHINt9dBqhNILy7CwozM~qQeCc-x1TljJgFzZ5ZFd0YbP9Aon5PPFB8mgfDw9-zyTRJlkojVX2jGlA4OlZW7cMPDer6LU9kAjY63R9HQcakJby5oN51to2AyoEZoTH5AUf4j-POG3zx5TcYa7MdYOyK2YwJYu~klxmCemuHW-2TzUNJJvhpHeuUJ57KF2SIrCZmqeeJ-Q6bwkI9c~~TW~hAhFC~zD2gI-TQNXZJNoA08jUWo6Hu6Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Nora Delgado Bergen, a member of District 209’s new multilingual department, told parents and caregivers at a BKAC meeting that district leaders have emphasized schools should remain safe spaces for students and families. “Esta presentación se va a presentar en español,” Delgado Bergen said as she opened the bilingual session and explained many resources would be available in both English and Spanish.

Delgado Bergen said the district’s superintendent has advised families that federal immigration enforcement agents do not have the right to enter school buildings without a valid judicial order signed by a judge. She said the district does not ask families about immigration status and will not share student records with federal immigration agencies unless required by a court order.

The presentation included practical “know your rights” materials: a red card parents can show to assert the right to remain silent, request an attorney, and decline consent to a search. Delgado Bergen demonstrated how families can present a judicial order under a door or window rather than allow agents into a home and explained that the district encourages families to contact building administrators with concerns about activity near school grounds.

The presenter also pointed attendees to an online resource hub (QR code provided during the meeting) with downloadable materials in multiple languages, and she cited a state-level message referenced in the presentation urging that public schools be safe, welcoming places for all students. Delgado Bergen advised families who need legal help to use local free legal services and a support hotline offered through the resource coalition referenced in the meeting.

Meeting participants asked questions and named community concerns about increased enforcement activity near detention centers and the effect of enforcement on student learning and staff ability to teach. Delgado Bergen and a school social worker present offered to share the slides and the resource links after the meeting so families could distribute them to neighbors and caregivers.

The session was a presentation and community information event; no formal district policy change or vote occurred during the meeting. Attendees were encouraged to contact building administrators if they observe troubling activity and to use the distributed materials and legal hotline for immediate help.","At a multilingual parent meeting, a district staff member summarized guidance from district leaders that federal immigration agents may not enter school grounds without a valid judicial order and distributed multilingual “know your rights” materials and legal referral information for families.","actionData","errors"]
