What's happening to federal CIVIL RIGHTS enforcement in special education? ⚖️
Karen and her guest discuss concerns about staffing reductions and organizational changes affecting the U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights (OCR) and the Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division.
These agencies play important roles in enforcing disability discrimination protections under Section 504 and the ADA.
The discussion raises an important question: How might changes in federal enforcement resources affect families seeking help with disability discrimination complaints?
Parents, understanding your rights and the available complaint processes remains essential!
