What is the guidance's purpose?This new special education guidance is to help schools to meet the needs of students with disabilities and avoid situations where discriminatory student discipline may be used. It was written by the Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) and Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS). These government organizations routinely provide additional instruction for the school systems. These new resources give the most comprehensive direction on the civil rights of students with disabilities.
