Parents of children with disabilities say they have faced months-long delays in getting responses from the U.S. Department of Education regarding complaints about bullying and discrimination. Multiple outlets report that families describe waiting for the department to make progress after raising concerns that students are being mistreated, including through bullying. They argue that ongoing policy or administrative changes risk worsening an already difficult system for getting complaints addressed and for obtaining timely support. The reporting also describes the concerns as part of a broader pattern, with some families saying they have waited longer than several months, while their situations remain unresolved. Both accounts emphasize that parents view the department’s handling of their complaints as inadequate and that the proposed or ongoing changes could introduce further obstacles rather than improvements. The sources do not agree on specific outcomes or timelines for the department’s actions, but they align on parents’ central claim: that delays in addressing disability-related bullying and discrimination leave families without answers and increase uncertainty as reforms are considered.
