The U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights said in a letter released by the NAACP on Wednesday that it has not made any determinations about the merits of the complaints.

North Carolina NAACP President William Barber said he was pleased that the Department of Education was taking up the issue. An attorney for the school board did not immediately return a call seeking comment.
