The U.S. Department of Education is trying another avenue to shutter Equity Assistance Centers nationwide after the Trump administration's previous failed attempts — and despite a court order temporarily requiring its continuation in at least one region of the nation.It is also considering transferring related services to the U.S. Department of Justice, according to a notice posted in the federal register on June 25.
Equity Assistance Centers, or EACs,were established under Title IV of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and were originally called Desegregation Assistance Centers.They provide technical assistance and training to schools, districts and school boards to “address education issues occasioned by school desegregation,” such as harassment, bullying and prejudice, according to the Education Department website.
The centers also help districts interpret data to identify disparities and to address those disparities through efforts like professional development for teachers.There are four centers nationwide.

" When this program was initially authorized, there was a significant need among school boards, districts, states, and other recipients for support related to desegregation orders," the Education Department said in its notice. The department said it believes "there is not a need for the program to operate in the same regionally distributed way that the regulations require and that there is an opportunity to explore other means of service delivery that address these varied needs in a more flexible manner."
In fiscal year 2022, EACs provided targeted and intensive assistance to 24 state education agencies, 222 districts, and 145 schools across 46 states and territories, according to the Education Department.During that budget period, the program accepted 96% of the requests for assistance that were received.
