Discrimination file still open after a year...

 
The initial article I found was about how there was an open discrimination file that was being investigated by the federal government in St Cloud school district.  It stated that this investigation have been open a year now and the Muslim civil rights group that requested the investigation still has not heard anything about how the investigation is going, even after a year of it being open.  After reading this I wanted to see if I could find any articles about the original claim and I did.
      The original article described that Somali & Muslim students were discriminated and harassed about their religion and race.  There was even one claim that a St. Cloud school bus driver left Muslim students behind at bus stops purposely multiple times. 
                When reading both articles it made me more annoyed because we are to be open minded as and to know that after a year that this investigation is still open and no one has heard any information of what is going on with it makes me upset.  I believe with it involves students an investigation should not take a year and have no response or answers yet.
