May 23, 20251 yr I wasn't sure where to put this. The back story is that the policy in my school district on IEP & 504 complaints recently changed. They dropped the contact info for the local Civil Right Office that was recently closed - one of the many changes made by DOGE. I started digging. My quest was to answer the question: Who do you call if you have a civil rights issue with a school? The answer is: The USDOE. Yep, the department of education is who now handles civil rights issues. This is the web page with info on filing complaints: https://www.ed.gov/laws-and-policy/civil-rights-laws/file-complaint
May 23, 20251 yr Moderators Great information, JSD! Just a side note to this post and something I just found out. The US Department of Education's acronym is ED (Education Department) to distinguish it from the US Department of Energy (DOE).
