EAGLE COUNTY, Colorado — School leaders can tell you how many students can’t speak English in Eagle County, but what they don’t know is how many of those students are here illegally. A student’s legal status is not something schools are allowed to ask when they’re registering for classes, said to Dick Lyons, an attorney for the Eagle County School District. A 1982 Supreme Court decision, Plyler v. Doe, ruled that undocumented children and young adults have the same right to attend public, kindergarten through 12th grade schools as United States citizens.
