Civil‑Rights Probe List Frozen

The Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights stopped updating its public list of active school investigations on Jan. 14, 2025. ProPublica has sued the department to force the office to restore public updates so journalists, parents and watchdogs can track civil‑rights enforcement. — Withholding routine disclosure of investigations reduces accountability and impedes the media and public from spotting patterns of discrimination or selective enforcement across school districts.
