Don’t all schools ask for birth certificates? At that age it’s your only id, most kids only legal connection to their parents, your only legal indication of age.
I suppose it could also be weaponized to deprive immigrants of an education.
That being said, I looked it up and my state schools are mandated to equally educate all residents regardless of immigration status and are not allowed to ask about immigration status, nor to cooperate with ICE barring court order
In my case, the municipality is responsible for registering kids at public schools and they know the true identity already. The school only gets to see the name, address and maybe the gender.
