VDOE Guided School Divisions Statewide to Engage in Discrimination
Office for Civil Rights and Virginia Department of Education Enter into Resolution Agreement
Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) discriminated against thousands of students who have disabilities during its Spring 2023 "field testing".
June 7, 2023, Office for Civil Rights (OCR) initiated an investigation after Spotsylvania County Public Schools (SCPS) School Board Member Dawn Shelley filed an OCR complaint.
Before OCR finished its investigation, VDOE expressed an interest in entering into early resolution.
