tours, the release of new guidance from the Department of Education on the obligation of schools to provide opportunities for students with disabilities to participate in extracurricular athletics, and that announcement of a new strategic plan regarding Section
508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; color:black">In addition, the Department of Justice has charged five individuals with 196 indictments, including the violation of the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention
Act, for targeting individuals with disabilities in a Social Security fraud scheme. The Justice Department also recently filed comprehensive agreement resolving litigation concerning conditions of care at the former Arlington Developmental Center. Lastly,
the Department of Housing and Urban Development recently announced that Bloomington, Minnesota-based U.S. Bank National Association will pay $12,000 to a loan applicant with disabilities under a Conciliation Agreement. Read more about all of these stories

were spent in poverty and parents of a child with a disability had nowhere to turn."</span></p>
