The article reports on guidance offered by the U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights (OCR) to school districts regarding their responsibilities in providing opportunities for students with disabilities to participate in school sports. It highlights questions regarding the Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, explores legal compliance of the guidance by local school districts, and notes support of the statement by disability rights advocates.
