Educators reported that heightened federal immigration enforcement continued to ripple through schools during the 2025–26 academic year, increasing student anxiety, fear, absenteeism, and counseling needs, according to survey data from the EdWeek Research Center. The spring survey polled 753 district leaders, principals, and teachers online from March 25 to May 5, updating earlier fall responses from 693 educators. Educators working with immigrant students were less likely than in the fall to report “no impact,” and those in urban and larger districts were more likely to report widespread effects. The report highlighted community-level disruption, including agents pulling cars over and knocking on doors near schools. While large-scale operations have waned nationally, educators still describe federal agency presence in their communities as a continuing contributor to behavioral and attendance challenges. The findings underscore that enforcement policy shifts can immediately affect student wellbeing and school operations, expanding what districts must plan for beyond academic instruction and into support services.
