Federal civil rights data holds schools accountable. Under Trump, it's 6 months late
(NPR) For more than 50 years, the Education Department has revealed a host of realities about how students are being treated in every public school across America: which kids are being bullied, which ones are being harassed and which students can access the internet, among other things. The agency's Civil Rights Data Collection is intended to do just that — help keep schools accountable.
The latest information, collected about the 2023-24 school year, was supposed to be published last December, according to the Education Department's own deadline.
But it hasn't been.
The agency hasn't responded to multiple requests from NPR asking what's behind the delay.
