In providing data to the Department on voluntary desegregation plans, will districts be permitted to continue to use the minority and non-minority classification?
No. Districts will be required to provide student enrollment data disaggregated by race in the project schools and in the district. However, in some instances, it may be permissible for a district to use a binary classification if supported by the racial and ethnic demographics in the district. For example, if there are only African American and white students in the district, it obviously will be permissible for the district to use a binary classification of African American and white.
