Educating Newcomers : K-12 Public Schooling for Undocumented and Asylum-Seeking Children in the United States (Paperback)

By U.S. law, states must provide education to all children, regardless of immigration status.

This report models the numbers of such children by state, reviews the federal and state policy landscapes for their education, and provides case studies of how schools are managing education for them.
