OCR Guidance Documents

OCR Guidance Documents are official resources created by the U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights. They provide organizations, such as schools and colleges, with clear, detailed instructions on how to comply with federal laws that protect individuals from discrimination based on race, gender, disability, or other factors. These documents help ensure institutions understand their legal responsibilities and promote fair, accessible environments. Essentially, they serve as authoritative reference materials to guide organizations in implementing policies and practices that uphold civil rights and prevent discrimination.
