U.S. Dept. of Ed. Seeks Information on the Nondiscriminatory Administration of School Discipline
Posted by U.S. Department of Education on June 8, 2021
The U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) today issued a Request for Information asking members of the public to submit written comments on the administration of school discipline in schools serving students in pre-k through grade 12. This information will assist OCR in determining what policy guidance, technical assistance, or other resources may help schools improve school climate and safety, and ensure equal access to education programs and activities, consistent with the civil rights laws that OCR enforces.
“All students deserve access to safe, supportive schools and classrooms. Discrimination and use of exclusionary discipline can negatively impact students’ abilities to learn, grow and thrive,” said Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona. “We’re seeking information so that the Department can help schools and educators confront disparities and create inclusive school environments that set all students up for success.”
