DENVER (AP) -- Denver Public Schools officials are banning employees from district-sponsored, work-related travel to Arizona in response to a new immigration law there.
The law set to take effect this summer would require law enforcement to question people about their immigration status if there's reason to suspect they're in the country illegally.
Superintendent Tom Boasberg said Thursday that district employees are all legal, but officials don't want them to subjected to potentially arbitrary, discriminatory stops or harassment.
Boasberg says students, parents, teachers, community members and principals have expressed outrage at Arizona's law.
Boasberg has formed an advisory committee to see if the district should respond with other measures.
