The U.S. Education Department has a longstanding practice of collecting civil rights data related to bullying, harassment, and disability services in schools. However, the department has not made the latest information publicly available, causing delays in transparency and accountability efforts.

This delay in releasing the data has been noted during the Trump administration period, with the most recent data being six months overdue. The lack of timely publication hinders stakeholders' ability to assess and address civil rights issues within educational institutions.
