Office for Civil Rights Publishes Seven Findings and Resolution Agreements for Disability Discrimination Cases: Florida, Georgia, Maryland, Michigan, New Hampshire, Virginia, and District of Columbia
OCR published its first finding and resolution agreement for 2026—and another six for 2025
Office for Civil Rights (OCR) published its first finding and resolution agreement for 2026—and another six for 2025—to the “Office for Civil Rights Recent Resolution Search” section on its site. Two of the complaints that led to OCR’s investigations were filed in 2023, three were filed in 2024, and two were filed in 2025.
Quick Review
OCR doesn’t publish press releases for most findings, and its site has no “recently added” filter or marker showing what’s new. This makes tracking new additions to its site difficult since they aren’t published chronologically. For example, some 2024 findings and resolutions didn’t appear online until mid-2025. With cases listed only by agreement date or party name—not by upload date—there’s no way to track what was actually posted when. This forces families and advocates into a daily scavenger hunt just to monitor federal enforcement of disability rights—and it forces them to rely on the education agencies being forthcoming with information.
