CONGRESS MUST PASS A CLEAN DREAM ACT NOW AND PROTECT OUR STUDENTS AND TEACHERS, HIGH-PERFORMING SCHOOLS SAY

December 13, 2017 (LOS ANGELES) – Alliance College-Ready Public schools, the largest network of high-performing public charter schools in Los Angeles,  called on Congress to renew the DREAM Act by an amendment in the federal budget before the end of this month. This amendment will allow hundreds of thousands of people brought to this country as young children to stay here legally. Many recipients of the status brought by this program, known as Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), are members of the Alliance community both as students and as teachers.
