Important Update from Cincinnati Public Schools: April 15, 2026

At a small number of our schools, an out-of-town law enforcement officer visited school offices to conduct wellness checks related to students believed to be enrolled in CPS. The officer claimed to be working on behalf of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The officer did not request to see or interact with any students, and there was no direct contact with students.

District leadership contacted the officers and directed that any future inquiries regarding CPS students be handled through our Office of General Counsel. We have also reinforced the District's protocols for responding to law enforcement with school staff.

Please know: the safety of our students and staff is our top priority. We remain committed to maintaining safe, supportive and welcoming school environments for every child and family we serve.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact your child’s school directly.
