In a significant development regarding civil rights within the education system, the Education Department has announced a partial resumption of certain civil rights investigations, although cases related to race and gender remain on hold. This decision comes in the wake of a period during which the Trump administration halted thousands of civil rights investigations and targeted schools over cultural issues. Many cases relating to the rights of children with disabilities have faced significant delays as the Trump administration initiated an overhaul of the Education Department. The stalling of these important cases has raised concerns among advocates for disabled students. As the Trump administration continues to reshape the Education Department, the future of the Office for Civil Rights remains uncertain, with implications for how civil rights cases will be handled moving forward.
