S. Department of Education (ED) and the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), juvenile justice residential facilities provide educational services to hundreds of thousands of students over the course of each year.2  \nThe Departments are committed to working with juvenile justice residential facilities to ensure that all students have equal educational opportunities, while supporting these facilities in preparing these students for successful reentry into their communities, so that they are ready to return to their local schools and graduate, to continue or begin a postsecondary program, or enter employment. As part of these efforts, we write to remind you that the Federal civil rights laws, regulations, and guidance that prohibit race, color, national origin, sex, religion, and disability discrimination against students in traditional public schools also apply to educational services and supports offered or provided to youth in juvenile justice residential facilities.  \nED’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) and DOJ’s Civil Rights Division and Office of Justice Programs enforce a number of Federal civil rights laws that apply to juvenile justice residential facilities receiving Federal funds from the respective Departments, including:  \n• Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VI) (prohibiting discrimination based on race, color, or national origin by recipients of Federal financial assistance); 3  \n• Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (Title IX) (prohibiting discrimination based on sex by recipients of Federal financial assistance); 4  \n• Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Section 504) and Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (Title II) (both prohibiting discrimination based on  \n1 U.
