FYI

Today, the Administration announced plans to move the U.S. Department of Education's (ED) Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS) to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) to the Department of Justice (DOJ). These proposals turn back the clock on decades of progress for students and adults with disabilities.

Moving OSERS to HHS would undermine decades of progress by treating disability primarily as a healthcare issue. Moving OCR to the Department of Justice could distance civil rights enforcement from the education system it is designed to oversee.

NDSC is calling on Congress to stop this move, conduct immediate public hearings, and protect the rights of the 8.6 million students with disabilities served under IDEA and millions of youth and adults with disabilities rely on vocational rehabilitation services.

An NDSC Action Alert is forthcoming. Read NDSC’s full press release here: https://bit.ly/4a0jXki
