Between March 11, when the U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights (OCR) began reducing its staff levels, and June 27, the agency dismissed 3,424 complaints, according to court documents filed by Rachel Oglesby, who has been chief of staff at the Education Department since January. By contrast, the office dismissed 2,527 cases in the three-month period between November 2024 and January 2025 under the Biden administration. “A dismissal rate this high suggests a fundamental shift in how OCR is triaging and processing complaints,” said Jackie Gharapour Wernz, an education civil rights attorney who worked for the OCR under the Obama and first Trump administrations. “It raises serious concerns about whether civil rights issues are being meaningfully evaluated and whether the agency is adhering to its own case processing manual and relevant law in dismissing cases.” In response, Education Department spokesperson Julie Hartman said the OCR is taking actions according to federal law, regulations and the OCR case processing manual, which outlines the steps the agency must take to process complaints.

California's low-income families face significant challenges as federal budget cuts threaten essential support. Dave Gordon, Sacramento County superintendent of schools, stated, “The [ federal tax-and-spending] bill will put young people and families at significant risk.” The budget law, which includes $186bn cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, is expected to impact 735,000 people due to new work requirements. Additionally, up to 151,000 children may lose health care coverage under Medi-Cal. The cuts could strain school resources, as Troy Flint from the California School Boards Association noted. He added: “Cutbacks that impact the health and welfare of families create additional challenges for student support and academic success.” The implications of these cuts are dire, potentially affecting the well-being and educational outcomes of countless children in California.
