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
Cuts to civil rights enforcement in US education have led to fewer staff, closed regional offices and longer wait times for students with disabilities seeking resolution of discrimination complaints. Reporting from PBS describes growing backlogs in the Office for Civil Rights, with families facing months-long delays while schools' obligations under disability rights law go less closely monitored.
Why now: New reporting on reduced federal civil rights enforcement has drawn attention to its direct impact on students with disabilities.
