The Virgin Islands Education Department is committed to providing a safe and inclusive learning environment for all students. In alignment with the memorandum issued by Gov. Albert Bryan Jr. on Jan. 29, VIDE has provided specific guidance for its employees regarding Immigration and Customs Enforcement activity in the U.S. Virgin Islands.
To ensure parents, guardians, and students are informed, VIDE has developed a Public Service Announcement video and informational flyers in English, Spanish, and Haitian Creole outlining key policies and protections for students and school personnel. These resources reaffirm that school personnel’s primary responsibility remains to educate and protect all students.
