Civil rights enforcement cuts leave disabled students waiting longer
Original: Civil rights enforcement cuts mean fewer staff, closed offices, longer waits for students with disabilities

Reporting describes fewer staff, closed regional offices and growing backlogs at the Office for Civil Rights, with families saying investigations into disability discrimination and needed accommodations are delayed. Advocates warn the slowdown weakens protections guaranteed under federal education law and leaves students without timely recourse.
Why now: Concerns are mounting over how recent enforcement cuts affect protections for students with disabilities
