Civil Rights Compliance Program Introductory Page

The purposes of the department's Civil Rights Compliance (CRC) Program are to provide a quality education for every child by:

• Ensuring that all students experience equal access, opportunities, guidance, support, and success in every aspect of their pre-k-12 public education;

• Fulfilling obligations of state education agencies (DPI) and assisting schools, districts, and educators to embrace the requirements and spirit of federal civil rights laws and Wisconsin's Methods of Administration (MOA) required by the "Guidelines" of 1976.

• Providing information, samples, or assistance regarding "best practices" in civil rights, nondiscrimination, and educational equity and diversity.
