U.S. Department of Education - Office for Civil Rights

OCR's mission is to ensure equal access to education and to promote educational excellence through vigorous enforcement of civil rights in our nation's schools. Complaints may be filed with the OCR. Prior to filing a complaint with OCR against an institution, a potential complainant may want to explore the district’s grievance process and use that process to have the complaint resolved. However, a complainant is not required by law to use the district process before filing a complaint with OCR.
